I was born on the 28th of June in 1990 at São Marcos Hospital in Braga. Since then I have been living with my parents in that northern Portuguese city called Braga. My family’s house is located in Navarra, a small village only 10 short minutes from the city center.
I belong to a simple and small family, constituted by three elements, Gorete and Pedro, my parents, and I. Since ever that we have a worthy relationship. However, as all families, we have got some tiny and easily-solved problems. My parents always support my decisions and let me have my space to grow up. Although sometimes their advice goes in a different direction from my own decisions, I have to respect that. I know that they only wish me the best.
My mother, Gorete, is always trying to protect me, she is an over-protective mom. I know that with her I can talk about everything, and when I say everything it’s really everything. In spite of that fact, I only do it with Pedro, my father. I don’t know why, maybe it’s because we are both male and I feel more comfortable with him. He is constantly giving me advice and telling me stories about his youth, when he was my age.
In my opinion, despite the fact that we are a three-element family, I think that we are a normal and typical family when compared with the rest of my country. Most families in Portugal have between two and three children.
To be honest, I can say that my parents were and are one of the central pillars of the person that I’m today, without them I would be nothing.
