Hi! I am Melissa. I'm fifteen years old. I was born on September the 11th, 1992 in Hull, England.
I lived in a little town called Withernsea. Then when i was four years old we moved to another little village called Allington Gardens. It was a mobile home park. My dad sites mobile homes for a living and he owned the park. I didn't like living there because my little sister, Sofia, and I were the only children. Everybody who lived there were retired. Then dad sold the park and when i was seven or eight we moved again.
This time it was a town called Barrowby Gate. I liked it there so I was sad when we moved again when I was ten to Barrowby.
I hated it at first, but then i got to know the neighbours and made really good friends.Then i started secondary school and made the best friends ever. Only to loose them all again a year later.
We had to move again. This time a lot further than ever before.
We came to Spain because my mum and dad wanted to be closer to our family and wanted us to have a better life. We started looking for houses in Almeria. We even went to Adra.
Then we found Berja and we really liked it. So we started looking around and we found San Roque. We found the house that we wanted and bought it.
I hated it. I wanted to go back and be with my friends in England. Here i couldn't make friends. It was really hard.
After a while i started speaking Spanish, but it really embarrassed me.
I have been here now and I have loads of friends and a boyfriend too. I don't ever want to go back to England. I have lost touch with my English friends and I'm concentrating on my new better life.
I like to go out with my friends. They are always there for me, and i am for them when we need each other. When we are together we never stop laughing.
I also like to be with my boyfriend and his family, we are all very close.
My family and I do everything together. we \re best of friends.
I have family from all over the place. My mus dad was Italian, so i have relatives there, him and his family then moved to Canada, so i have family there too. Then he moved to Scotland, so there is family there too, as well as in Kent, Hull and Withernsea.
My mum's mum is Spanish. When she met my Grandad they moved together.
My dads side are all English and they haven't moved from Withernsea all their lives.
So my mum is half Spanish, half Italian, and my dad is English. So my sister and i are a bit of everything.
I like living here but i would like to study in Almeria. Hairdressing or languages. I'm not sure yet.
I want to travel. I really like it. I have already been to England, Spain, France, Canada, America and Mexico.
I'm hoping to go to Australia and Italy one day.
