Hi! my name is Sofia, I´m so happy that I can tell you my story. I was born in Portugal-Lisbon, Cascais. My first studies were in Saint Johns School, a British school. I made a lot of friends in there. Currently, I´m not in contact with them. In 2008, my family moved to Madrid-Spain, Over there,  I learnt about the Spanish culture. It was an incredible experience, I met a lot of people that are now special to me. Finally I moved to Peru in 2010.Moving to Peru, was not new for me, because I had visited before. And also I had moved to different states and countries before. In addition, my mother is peruvian! Therefore, I was already used to the culture and the Spanish language. On my first day of school, I remember being so nervous because I spoke with an spaniard’s accent and I didn't know anyone at the “Santisimo Nombre de Jesus” school. Suddenly, my Guardian Angel sent Ghadir to me! She said “Hi, would you like to be my best friend?“ And, I answered “Yes, of course.“ Time has passed, and we are still best friends to date! And, we collaborate writing this blog! The latest new is that we both have been admitted to the same university! Our families are so happy and they’ve congratulated us! This calls for a double celebration! We have a lot of memories together! We’ve done a lot of things together, like going to the beach, arabian´s club, diversity at Jockey Plaza, partys, etc. etc. And, of course we have also been through ups and downs but we have remained close. Anyway, our friendship is proof that true friendships exist, and that you shouldn’t be scared of meeting new people.
