My family: the most important thing I have.

In my family we are 5: my father, my mother, my two sisters, my brother and me.
To be honest, I think I´m not able to say that I look exactly like a member of my family or that I have the character of one of them, because I think I am a mixture of my parents.

Regarding my physical appearance, everybody says that I bear a striking resemblance to my mother; I have a tanned skin as her, our eyes are both green and our smile is very similar. Despite the first thought of everyone when they see us is that I´m just like my mother, there are many of my physical features that I share with my father, such as the upturned nose, the bushy eyebrows, the ears and specially the mouth with thick lips.

With regard to my character, I´m a completely mixture of my parents. I have a very strong character, a feature that runs in all my family, specially in my mother. As her, I also have a good sense of humour and an outgoing personality. However, my father, has a more difficult character and he is more introverted, but he possess many qualities such as his razor-sharp mind. He is a highly intelligent and educated person and has always instilled me his passion for reading and learning. 

Despite they had set high standars for me, I have always feel a strong family support from my parents and I really admire and love them. Nevertheless, there is a person in my family that I specially admire and want to follow her steps, I´m talking about my eldest sister Patricia. She is 35 years old and she is a very independent and self-confident person. When she finished high school, she studied Spanish Philology at University and she´s now a great Spanish teacher that works and lives in Sevilla. In fact, we are very similar to each other, since we share our passion for languages, reading and travelling. Despite we don´t really look like each other physically, we both are clumsy, forgetful, sociable and talkative. Although I love and admire her, I don´t want to look on her as a model because I want to make my own way.
