My Story...

When I was 12 I had crazy curly hair, was a bit overweight and very pale (not in a cool vampire way). At this age I suffered from severe anemia and doctors told me I should avoid getting tired and I was excused from gym classes. This was what got my overweight and extremely pale for the next 2 or 3 years. I always felt like I didn’t fit in and older students used to pick on me all the time. Sometimes I got home with my legs all bruised from their abuse. Those were tough times but I made it and now I am a successful and happy person. I work as a social media strategist, and I also teach classes on digital marketing. I am loved and have great friends. Now, life is good :) Thank you for letting me share this. Love from Portugal, Sónia
