Immigration affected me, my family and my friends in a sad way but also understandable because everyone understands that we all have to look for a way to have a better life even though we miss our roots and our country.

My family the majority are immigrants in many countries for a long time because they are looking for a better life in more developed countries in order to have living conditions.

Immigration affected me, my family and my friends in a sad way but also understandable because everyone understands that we all have to look for a way to have a better life even though we miss our roots and our country.

The happiest moment of my life is when I speak in the family group and we have fun together.

The saddest moment of my life it was when I lost my grandfather and my uncle and also when I left my family in Cape Verde to go live in Portugal.

The most influential person in my life is my  mother and grandmother because they support me in everything they give me advice in everything I do and they always tell me to never give up on my dream.

I’m afraid that this situation with this virus gets worse, and losing people I love.

[I want people to know/understand that] I am a very humble person, I am a person who grew up so much for having gone through many bad things at a very young age, but never lost hope.

In my first year of school in Portugal I suffered bullying at school because I was the only African girl in the class, nobody sat at the same table as me nobody wanted to do the work with me they looked at me with a strange look and they didn’t even talk to me they excluded me from everything and some girls made fun of my hair said that my hair looked like a pile of straw I got to have anxiety attacks and a pre-depression because of that and I just wanted to leave that school, but then the time passed I met new and humble people and who liked me as I was and started to like me more and from there I started helping some of the people I met with mental health. I would also like to say that you should all love yourself the way you are and also respect yourself and respect others, and not listen to people’s bad opinions, just raise your head and go your way.
