My life

I’m Natacha and I live in Margem Sul with my family. I’m one of three children and the oldest. At six years old, I was the only child. It was good! I had my parents just to myself, but I needed a brother to play with. My brother was born healthy, I was so happy! But three years later he had some hearing problems, and he was two years without hearing. He was operated on the ears and now he has no problem.
When I was eleven years old my little sister was born, and my brother and I were so happy. We wanted to hug her so much! My mother is so warm and helpful but my father is a little scary, and cold, but he is like that because he didn’t have a good childhood. I understand him because it was difficult for him, but I love him. I have some good friends at school, some were at my seventh year, others from the tenth to twelfth, we played football, we went to the cinema, and we helped each other in school.
When I was fourteen years old, I wanted to do some sport and I chose football. In the first year we had problems, because the majority of the team was fourteen, fifteen years old, and we were playing in a championship with players who have eighteen years old and more. But I love playing with my friends, girls versus boys, its fun.
Now I’m eighteen years old and I love my life. I do sport; I have friends that help me when I need and a family that I adore.
