I was born in (city), (country), on (month day year). When I was a child, every thing around me caught my curiosity. I always wondered why something happens, or why other thing has a particular shape, and I asked my parents until they got no answers.

I have a very integrated and lovely family. My parents are from (country), they have taught me not only (country) language, but also good moral and traditions. I love listening (country traditional) tales, because they are quite interesting and contain very deep thoughts. From each story I heard, I have learn a lesson for life, to distinguish what is good and what is bad.

In the school, I was specially interested in mathematic, physic and chemistry. Through those subject I could find answers to my childhood’s questions. While other parents force their children to study, my parents made me to have fun, of course, without missing the homework. But for a strange reason, the less pressure gave me my parents, the more responsible I became. I remember once my math teacher gave us 150 equation exercises for homework, and 150 long exercises is too much to finish in just one day, so, I began solving exercises right after I had arrived home. and I have done 135 exercises at midnight. But I still had 15 to finish. In that moment my father asked me: ”Do you need help?”. I answered: “thanks, but I will finish all”, he reply “ Don’t stay too late or you won’t get up on time for school.”. I said “Don’t worry, I’ll set 3 alarms”. So, I kept working until I finished the home work.

As no human is perfect, I also have some defects. One of them is that I’m too perfectionist, I want every thing impeccable. So, I waste too much time planning than doing something. But I am confident that I will transform all my weakness into strength, and looking always to be better than yesterday.
