My Story
Lets
start from the beginning, I was born and raised in Caguas, P.R. I’m the first girl in the family and for a long time I was the only girl. My parents get
divorced when I was 6 and when I was 16 my mom had a baby. I always wanted to be
like my big brother Gustavo (he is from my dad’s first marriage) because he was
always playing with my dad, they was

“the cool guys” for me, so I started to
play video games at very young age, my taste in music was Queen, Bon Jovi,
Black Sabbath and The Beatles and I never missed one game of the Lakers (NBA);
apart form that I got a lot of cousins of my age and all of them are boys and of
cause we can’t ignore that my dad was in the U.S NAVY… and you can imagine that
he is very strict. Everything is fun when you are a kid but in high school for
me was impossible to have girl friends; I was so DIFFERENT from other girls.
Obviously my mom was worry about my skateboard and me so she inscribed me on
modeling classes (which I hated it), apart from that I was a very happy girl.
In my
family I’m the smart one but when I was in second grade my teacher asked me
“What you want to be when you grow up?” and I my answer was “I want to be a
mermaid”. My mom told me that was impossible, but she also told me that I can
study marine biology and since that they I feel in love with science. I figured
out that I want to be a doctor on high school when one of my cousins at the age
of 2 years was diagnosed with cancer. That day I realized that I want to help
people, but if you don’t have a “Dr.” before your name no one in this planet
will let you help them. I got a lot of plans for my future as a doctor in
medicine and one of them is to donate all my money to pay the treatment of
children with cancer. I never had a lot of money so I can live without the
glamour. I really hate the idea of have a lot of money just because I’m a
doctor. I can’t live in peace knowing that those children are dying and I’m
here making me rich. I just want to help
those kids 100%.

Since I was a child nothing has change too
much. I can look myself in the mirror and see the same girl that dream to be a
mermaid and to be honest I don’t want to change that. I’m 21 and my hobbies are
the same: play video games, watch Pokémon and sing in the shower Bohemian Rhapsody.
I want to be innocence because see the world through the eyes of a child makes
everything more interesting. I want to learn everything that I can, eat a lot of
food, smile to strangers, laugh and talk to elderly people. In conclusion I want
to stay simple.
Hey Noheli, passing through your blog :) ! I love your forever-children spirit, your free spirit life since your childhood. Be always like that for the rest of your life and you will gain the confidence of all people you met. The most impacting about what you wrote is how different you are, and that for you its not a big deal what society imposes to be (to be a girl, and all that means) because you are who you are and that's it. I hope to you the best vibes !
ReplyDeleteI loved this blog and also know this part of you that did not know. I also feel that I have the spirit of that little girl inside of me and I want to be so forever. I perceive that you can identify with others and that noble heart. That’s sweet! All the best!
ReplyDeleteI'm in the same boat as you. As long as I have enough money to take care of my family and play my video games, I'll be fine as rain.
ReplyDeleteIt's okay to be different. It's even better to stand out and do what makes you happy ! I agree with you in that money and glamour are not priorities. Using the money to help someone in need is much more gratifying.
