What was your childhood like?

My childhood was very nice. I was born in Bogota in 1988, I was named after a famous singer that my mom loved. My dad was 22 and my mom was 21 when I was born, they were very young but they loved each other very much. My dad was a college student, he studied engineering at a public university in Bogota. My mom worked for a small company in a commercial area of the city.

When I was 5 I went to primary school. My school was very small, it was located near my house, it was the same school my mom went to. I was very outgoing and talkative when I was at school, I had many friends. I was a good student, but I sometimes got into trouble because I was always talking to my friends.

When I was not at school I was out with my friends. I had many friends in my neighborhood, we played and had lots of fun. I was a little chubby because candies were my favorite food. I was very active and very funny.
