Here's some stuff about me:

My full name is Altagracia Isabel Esperenza Lago, but you can call me Gracie, and I was born in Belem, Para, Brazil.

--My birthday is June 8th, 1995-- but I won't tell you exactly how old I am, you can do the math. ;)

--I currently live in Chicago, Illinois, and I moved there from Brazil when I was 6 years old (in the 1st grade).

--My mother, Etelinda, was born and raised in the mountains of Germany, but moved to Brazil when she was 13 (in 7th grade) and is fluent in German, English, and Spanish.

--My father, Ostiano, was born and raised in Belem, and is fluent in English and Spanish.

--I have two younger brothers, Manolito and Macario (eight-year-old twins), and four older brothers, Teodoro (seventeen), Carlomango (nineteen), Felix (twenty-one), and and Leandro (twenty-three).

--My brothers and I are all fluent in German, Spanish, and English, and we all have Brazilian accents (it's kind of hard to explain what that sounds like; there's probably a Youtube video about it somewhere if you're curious).

--I've been playing soccer since I was 3, and fell in love with it from the beginning. It's practically my whole life!! :)

--I have long, kinda curly (more like a looser Taylor Swift-type hairstyle) auburn-colored hair and olive-toned skin, freckles on my cheeks and nose and dark brown eyes. I'm normal height, for my age group at least, and I am told I look a lot like Amy Adams, which I guess is a compliment since she is one of the most beautiful actresses I've ever seen haha. ;D I have a soccer player's build, but I am still very feminine.

--I don't really have a favorite book, movie, or music artist, I listen to, read, and watch too much of all three to pick one as my favorite. But my favorite TV show is Pretty Little Liars on ABC Family (I love the books too!!). :)

--I play the piano and the acoustic guitar.

--My best friends in the whole world are Katelynn, Sophie, Cameron, and Blake, who all, coincidentally, live in the four other apartments in my building (freaky how life does that to ya, huh?.

--Our favorite hangout as BFFs is Navy Pier, where there's this awesome little pretzel place and we ride our bikes down there to get some after school and-- well, I'll save you some long but funny stories; the pretzels there rock. :D

--My aunts, uncles, cousins, godparents, grandparents, and family friends live in Brazil, and my family and I take three trips down there every year: one in the winter, one in the summer, and one around New Year's.

--I want to be an actress someday.

--I have a really cute kitten named Aquas Vivas, but everybody calls her Aqua, which means "living waters" in Spanish.

--My favorite color is orange and I don't know why. My room is orange. My backpack is orange. My laptop is orange (long story haha). My Converse are orange. My backpack for school is orange. IT FOLLOWS ME EVERYWHERE!!! ;P

--My favorite food is pão de mel, a Brazilian honey cake covered in melted chocolate. Yumm!! :)

--I'm TOTALLY Team Jacob. Always have been, always will be. In my opinion, Edward is clingy, overprotective, and controlling. Jacob should've been with Bella from the beginning (even though I think Bella is annoying too).

--I'm Team Rosalie. She has a good reason for being such a b!tch to Bella.

--I'm Team Luna (Harry Potter). Her kookiness has inspired us all. :)

--I'm Team Sirius. He should've gotten a second chance.

Well, there you have it, folks, an exclusive look at my highly uninteresting life. I hope I didn't bore you to tears! :P I just want to ask that you please, please, PLEASE review!! The only reason I (and most likely anyone else here) put stories on this website is so that you all can read it and give me feedback, constructive critiscism, and advice. What's the point of putting the time, effort, and interest into something that nobody bothers to respond to? So if you like it, love it, or hate it, I don't really care, just REVIEW and tell me how you feel about it! I WANT TO HEAR FROM YOU!!! Because if I put up a story and I don't get reviews, I'm gonna pull the plug on it. Just thought you might want to know. :)

Tuyo por siempre,

Altagracia Isabel Esperenza Lago

Yours forever,

Altagracia Isabel Esperenza Lago
