ABOUT ME 

Greetings!

My name is Laura and I am a Brazilian 13-year-old teenager who's medium height and has a robust body. My hair is ginger, my eyes are green, but in a certain light they look deep blue. Like the most of the gingers, my skin is pale and covered by freckles.

I’m very stubborn, imperative, irascible and moody. But I’m also very optimistic, outgoing and sensible. I’m known as a girl who is initially hostile and angry but gradually shows sweetness.

About my Family... Well, I have a handsome brother called Julian, a beautiful mother called Marina, and an intelligent father called Luis Arthur.

My interests are focused in Human Sciences-philosophy, language, etc. My hobbies are reading books and writing. I write everything from poetry to romances. I aspire to be a famous writer.

I enjoy singing and my dream to become a very good singer. I want to participate at the X Factor UK, like my favourite band, One Direction. To follow this wish, I do singing classes once a week.

But, before dedicating my time to hobbies, I have to do my homework and clean my room. I’m very messy and a bit lazy, so sometimes I just lay down and write poems. If I clean my room- the kind of thing that I hardly ever do- I spend thirty minutes doing it, equaling to 1/10 of the time I spend at school, which starts at the early morning (ten past seven, actually) and finishes at twenty to one. During this period, we must sit in our tables and do what the teacher ask the students to. We mustn’t talk to our friends. It’s also inappropriate to disturb the class- including walking in it, screaming, giggling, drumming and arriving late. All these rules need to be followed or otherwise you’ll face the consequences- which are a bit scary.

However, our school is not scary or severe at all. Actually, is a place where I feel safe, happy, confident. It’s also an influence for me in various aspects- including extracurricular courses that increase the knowledge of living in a group.

Talking about my extracurricular courses... Well... I do Volley (at school), tennis (at an academy), Theatre, Singing and Poetry Classes with a university teacher. 

I'm currently writing a book. Actually it's a romance. 

Sharing Life Stories

My grandfather, sir John William Redfern, was born in 1932 in England. He lived in a small town near Coventry when he was young. He is a very perspicacious man.

As I said before, he moved to Brazil, planning to stay here for one year and then move to the US. But he loved here; he met a nice young lady who tried to teach him Portuguese, Grace Yolanda. So, he asked the brunette out- and she went. They found their kindred spirits.

One day, they, as many soul mates that meet each other, decided to marry. The party was dreamlike and my grandmother’s dress was dazzling. The ceremony was truly genuine and sealed the start of a long and fairytale-like marriage which is eternal and has marked  the birth of enlighted generations of the Redfern family.

Needless to say, he had four children and had never moved to the USA or England.
