When is your birthday?

I grew up in the capital of Colombia, in the city of Bogota. As a child, I was an excellent student and I discovered myself as a person who wants to help others. My parents supported me throughout. My father is a taxi driver and my mother is a housewife. I am an only child and my childhood was full of tenderness, love and friendship. All of this reflects who I am now, an optimistic and self-confident person.
