Chapter 1: Who I am? Who is valentina?

So... how can I start, my name is Valentina, specifically Valentina Franshesca Sotelo Vergara, I was born in Rancagua, Chile, on October 17, 2001, in a normal family, middle class, consisting of my father, my mother and my older sister.

Two years later came into our lives my younger sister, her name is Martina. It was with her that I started my schooling, at Santa Maria School, I was in kindergarten and she was in pre-kindergarten, the same year that my parents divorced and everything got worse. Together we were a mess, always breaking things and making evil plans to have fun, like cooking noodles with soap when my mom was taking a nap haha.

In 2007 we moved to another school, for my basic education, to the Republica Argentina girls school, where I stayed until I was 10 years old, but Martina stopped accompanying me a few years before because she got sick with leukemia and died at the age of 7. Since my sister's death, my mother was never the same, a year later she had my younger brother and named him Martin in memory of my sister.

To be honest, since that moment, my mom and dad were very absent in my life, even my mom went to live in Norway and I had to go with her for 1 year, because of this I had to move to a new place almost every year, same reason why I lived with my grandmother, then with an aunt, then with another aunt, then with my dad, then again with my grandmother and so on until today. Many changes of home also imply a change of school, so from the age of 10 until I was 15 years old I studied in a Christian school, edumaster college, then I did my first year of high school in Villa Maria college and finally I did the rest of my high school studies in Coya College, and i am currently studying chemistry and pharmacy at the University of Chile. 

In my first year of high school I met my first and current boyfriend, Zhibin, who is Japanese as you can imagine. I started living with him about 2 years ago, and it hasn't been easy but he became my support and family in these last years. 

Together with my boyfriend we share many things, one of them is that we both love to sing and sometimes we do karaoke together in our free time. So I can say that singing is my only hobby, I like it because it allows me to express how I feel, something I'm not good at in person, it just makes me feel more understood and connect with my feelings, that's why I left you a playlist link for this blog, it's the kind of music I listen to.

Maybe you may think it's too much personal information to share publicly, but that's me, that's Valentina, a transparent person that sometimes can be without saying a single word and other times she explodes talking for hours.

Thank you very much for taking the time to read me and I wish you all a great week!
