                               Sharing Life Stories

            My grandfather was called Horácio. He was born in Recife, Pernambuco and I am not sure of the exact day he was born.            He was a really, really, really sociable man. He was also very funny and I used to love hanging out with him when I was younger. He was a businessman and he was part of the “marçonaria”.            He always used to tell me ast ory about his dad.            My great grandfather had a farm, in Pernambuco. And one day, a dangerous gang known as Lampião & his friends invaded his farm. They stole some stuff, ate and drank but, happily, didn’t kill anybody.            My grandpa was really young when that happened, so he doesn’t really remember it. But I think it is a really exciting story!

                              Yearbook- About Me

         My name is Rafaela. I’m 13 years old. I’m short, I have blonde and straight hair and my eyes are hazel. I’m really happy with my life! I’m anxious and a little bit shy, but I’m friendly and out-going.
        My family is Portuguese and Italian. My mom’s called Ester and my dad’s called Darcy. I have a huge family! I have 13 uncles and aunts and 26 cousins. Only my dad, my mom and I live in São Paulo. My whole family is from Pernambuco and Rio Grande do Sul. I also have a cat named Franck. He’s really cute and he has blue eyes!        I love acting and listening to music. I literally can’t live without music. I’m listening to it all the time! I don’t like sports, I actually hate anything related to sports. I can’t stand haters. I’m a huge Justin Bieber fan so I get really mad when people insult him in front of me. My favorite team is Grêmio, my “favorite” sport is volley, my favorite band is Emblem3, my favorite singer is Justin Bieber (obviously) and my favorite subject is history.        I’m good at cooking and acting, but I’m really bad at doing physical exercises.        I like reading, but I don’t love reading.        On Mondays I have private math class, on Tuesday I have English class, on Wednesdays I have drama class, on Thursdays I have English class and on Fridays I don’t have any after school activities.        When I finish high-school I want to live outside the country. If possible, Los Angeles or London.
