My name is Fernanda Castex Barraza. I was born in Coquimbo, on March 26th, 1992. The city is a very sad and dirty port. It have a giant cross, the Cruz del Tercer Milenio, at the top of a hill, and a big Mosque too. I spend all my childhood there, with my whole family (grandparents, uncles, aunts, cousins and my parents). I was in many differents schools, because my parents couldn't pay a completely enrollment, but I always went to catholic schools.
When my little sister was born, on November 30th, 1997, me and my family moved to Copiapó. The city was really different to my previous town, I didn't like it at the first moment, but now, it is the place of my dreams. We had to move because my father's job. He was unemployed in Coquimbo, and the only job he could found was in Copiapó. I worried a lot for my dad and I had to see a doctor for the strange apnea I was suffering because of that.
After the first summer in Copiapó, I joined the Liceo Sagrado Corazón. I spent my last years of my elementary school studies there. I don't have important memories of that time, but I make friends that I keep until today. Then, when I reach the high school, I went to a new school, the Liceo Católico Atacama. I keep the best memories of that school. There, I found great friends, met my first love, been part of the students union and started to know how to live.
