Hello everyone, my name
is Nicole Monroy, my friends and family affectionately call me “Nikito”,
although they always think that I am a man and my name is Nicolás. I am 19 years
old; I was born on July 16, 2001 (which by the way is always a holiday). I am
Chilean and I live in a city called Ovalle that belongs to the Fourth Region of
Chile.
When I was little I
went to a kindergarden called "Carita de Angel". It was very close to
my house and I really didn't like to go, I preferred to stay at home playing. I
grew up and they enrolled me in a school called "San Viator", I was
there for 12 years until, in 2019, between protest march and social upheaval, I
graduated with Academic Excellence. I never liked school, but I did like to
learn. I am currently in the second year of Architecture at the “Universidad de
Chile”. I really like my career, although sometimes it is “architorture”, the
most hardest thing is not knowing my classmates and not having a university
life outside of pijama and zoom.
To tell more about my
life, I will tell you about my family, my dear mother and brothers (Sebastian
and Emil) have lived in Sykkylven, Norway for many years. The city where they
live is very beautiful and the people are very friendly (and also with the
environment), I would like to live with them in the future. My dad lives in the
same city as me with my sister (Francisca). As for me, I lived most of my life
with my grandparents, aunt and cousin (her name is Javiera and she is like my
sister), whom I love very much, although due to circumstances I live in another
house now. I visit them every week.
Despite being only 19
years old, I have traveled to many places and especially to see my mother who
is far away, I miss her a lot. It is a great challenge to travel to other places
without speak a fluent English, but I have managed. This year I had planned to
travel to Norway, but the frontiers were closed in February ☹
One of my biggest
hobbies is cooking, I have a notebook with many of the recipes that I prepare
for the people I love. I'm always watching cooking shows. One of my favorite shows
is "Master Chef". I like it because they cook in different parts of
the world. Although I always see the same season HAHAHA. In this quarantine I
have learned to make cakes of different flavors. They were ugly at first, but now
they are tasty.
I don't have pets, but
I have 2 plants in my garden, one is Mint and the other is Basil. I would like
to have many more, but it is a very big responsibility. I am a great
"barwoman". In summer, we are used to drinking lemonades and mojitos
with my mint and Ovalle lemons, which by the way are very juicy.
I hope I have told you
a little about myself, I am very happy to know about you.
