"Smile, life gets better by the sencond"

Heyyy!

 Yeah thats me... My name is Digiannia Arbelaez Agudelo, but you can call me Digi. I actually have two last names and only one name. That is due to the fact that I am Colombian and in Colombia they give you, your father's last name and your mother's last name. My name is a totally different story it is a combination of two names, Di from the Princess lady Diana and Giannia from Gianni Versace, two recognized public figures that passed away on 1997 and I was born on that same year. To make it easier to understand my mom and dad are very creative and a bit crazy. It's a really strange name I know, and for that same reason Digi is just shorter and better for people to say.

To be honest I believe your name represents who you are, or at least in position it does. I feel if so I am strange and difficult just like my name, in a good way of course. I'm more of an artsy girl than an athlete, I love to sing, dance, act and even paint. Ever since I can remember I would alway say I wanted to be a singer when I grew up, and deep deep inside of me I still think that is what I want. I loved to try out for all the plays and musicals at my schools and in 8th grade even though I was just learning how to speak English I got the lead role for the Beauty and the Beast, as the beauty. When I was in Colombia I joined and created dance groups and even made the choreographies for what ever presentatons we had. This are all different ways in which I could scape reality and go into a world of magic, and that is exactly why I love them. 

 It is not because I am lazy that I don't play sports, trust me I have tried. It is more because I am not that good at them, sports are activities that you have to practice to be good at and I never really stayed with one to practice it enough. I used to swim when I was younger, I loved it but I stopped. Then I went on to trying some sports in high school and one of them was lacrosse, I didn't last long, it was a really hard sport that involved giving a lot of time and dedication when I was doing it just for fun. I also tried cheering for the cheerleading squad at my school my last year of high school, it was a fun experience and out of all of them would probably be the one that I would stick to.

I also love to hang out with my friends and be on my phone like any "normal" teenager. I spend alot of my time on my phone not only to texting and calling people but "stalking" my favorite singer Rihanna and playing around with all my Social Media. I have facebook, instagram and snapchat; essentials to a seventeen year old girl in 2015. Out of all of them my favorite one is snapchat, it is so fun and easy to just show all of my friends in a couple of seconds what I'm doing, where and with who. It is also easy to just send individual videos to my friends when we are having a conversation saying whatever I need to say instead of typing it out throught text. "Insta" is the one that follows, all the "real cute pics" go on there for the world to see. It is a different atmosphere though, you can't really be as goofy as you are on snapchat because it does not go away unless you delete the picture. Finally I have facebook where I mostly communicate with my Colombian friends since most of them don't really have snapchat. 

Rihanna!

English is not my first lenguage I was born and raised in Colombia and I moved to the United States when I was 12 years old. I am a very talkative person but it is not as easy for me to put into writting what I say. I feel as if I get stuck at times and I can't find the right words to express what I am feeling. I was thought the basics skills of writting during my high school carreer, how to do the format, spelling, puntuation etc; but I want to take my writting to a different level. I want to become as good of a writter as I am of a speaker. I want people to be able to live through the things I write, just how I feel that they live through the stories I tell them. Right now I am a C+ writter but I want to become the best writter I can be.
