My name is Valeria Lama Morales and I am studying 9th grade in Brookes Westshore. This is my first year here and it’s an exchange year in Canada, in Victoria B.C. I am a very creative person, especially in the part of painting and drawing. I am an introvert and an extrovert person, it depends on how open you are to me and how open I feel in that moment. I am a person who enjoys her friend’s company at parties or reunions and one who enjoys spending time with her close family. I am a studying and working person who always puts her best effort into the things I do.
As a reader, I am more or less. Two years ago during the pandemic, I had a lot of insomnia so I started reading at night, if it was a book that I liked I could read like five hours in a row, from 2:30 am in the morning till I saw the sunrise, so reading started to be a hobby. Now I don’t read a lot, I don’t have a book that I really like and I prefer spending time with my friends, family, reunions, sports, etc… than reading a book. Because if I don’t like a book it’s so difficult for me to finish.
As a writer, I think I have potential but I am not really good, also in English is more complicated because in Spanish it’s easier for me to understand, not repeating words, orthography, grammar, etc… also as a writer I think is difficult for me to order my ideas and put the right amount of information, it can be a long paragraph with things that I shouldn’t put or a short paragraph because I have lack of ideas. One thing that I think I am good at writing is that I have the creativity of knowing how to write about and know some points that might help to understand better.
