5 THINGS YOU DON'T KNOW ABOUT ME -

WHY THE CITY LIFE?

Well, university was definitely a first choice here. Also my parents originate from a large city and we moved to San Francisco when first coming from Portugal. I also enjoy all of the sounds and people that come with city life. Although, I do not appreciate those people who have annoying car alarms that tend to go off at 3 am. Everyone is different and unique, seeing all of the different fashion options is fantastic. I'll never forget the lady I saw wearing a duck tape dress, then when I turned the corner I saw a man who was wearing a white suit. You honestly see everything and it's wonderful. Some people see the city as a lifestyle and I agree with this; it takes a certain kind of person to live here and actually enjoy it.

DESCRIBE THE PEOPLE/FEEL OF YOUR BUILDING/NEIGHBORHOOD.

Currently, I'm living with three of my sorority sisters. The three of us met during our recruitment season, and bonded after becoming the babies of the family. Our sophomore years, we decided to put our money together and find a decent place. The apartments on campus are nice, but we wanted something a little more modern - because we high class divas. At the beginning of our junior year, we found the perfect apartment we all agreed upon. We girls have a cute little apartment about three or four miles away from the campus. The apartment is a tinted yellow color, with three bedrooms. We have great neighbors, except for our really creepy landlord who insists on inviting himself over all of the time. Not to mention, this asshole is like 45. Anyways, the building was completely refurnished this year by us, however I don't recommend renting these apartments again. They are nice, and in great condition but some of the policies are absolutely ridiculous. Don't be fooled by the cute little balconies either!!

WHAT CHANGES HAVE YOU MADE IN THE PAST 5 YEARS?

My accent has tone downed, probably because I've been around all of the Americans for too long. Just kidding! But I would say I've made a lot of changes. In high school I was very insecure and left like I needed to be liked by everyone. University gives you a sense for the real world and I broke out of my shell

HOW CAN SOMEONE TELL IF YOU'RE LYING OR GUILTY?

As sad as it is to say, I literally have no filter on making faces. This especially applies to lying, or even being nervous. I'm no longer allowed to participate in the poker nights at the fraternity five of my best guy friends are in. If you are to play a round against me, you will automatically win my money. Laughing is my only vice.. growing up, I would always get in more trouble for either laughing or making the most inappropriate comments. 

DESCRIBE YOUR PERSONAL MORALS:

My parents are still really religious and require that I take some religious route in my life - they pray for Roman Catholic. However, I have views that are frowned upon by this particular church. I guess one of the biggest things I try to practice is respect, especially the elder generations of my family and of this country. Back home, the elders are considered to be gold and I don't really see that occurring here - which is sad but oh well. I don't really have set morals, I just listen to my gut most of the times (usually my gut lies too). However, if you strike me the wrong way I won't be afraid to throw out the infamous saying, "practice what you preach." I also have no problem sticking up for my beliefs either.

HOW MIGHT SOMEONE ATTRACT YOUR ATTENTION?

Confidence has always been something I find the most appealing, no matter who you are. Direct eye contact is something that makes me weak in the eyes, I have this weird fetish with eyes in general. I love all of the colors and the shapes that each individual eyes has, which makes me sound liike someone you should avoid, however I find them to be very powerful and fascinating.

ONE LOVES OR MANY LOVES? WHY?

Many loves to me means many trials. With all of the trials or loves you are blessed with, ultimately leads you to the 'one.' No matter how cliche, that sounds I have always believed in this sort of love. I have watched my parents have the most successful marriage, with all sorts of love and adoration towards each other. This only makes me crave something like this in return.

A FAVORITE KIND OF KISS?

Any kiss that enables your spark inside. Currently, my favorite kisses are the spontaneous ones. They bring up so many emotions that you can't fight off, that''s what beautiful aspect of it. They catch you off guard, shut you up and lock your mind on only the person you are kissing. Less thoughts run through your mind too, you never have to really think about them; they just happen.

WOULD YOU RATHER RELIVE YOUR GREATEST MOMENT OR REDO YOUR WORST MISTAKE? EXPLAIN.

Redo my worst mistakes, not only would my entire family be affected differently but I could see a better future for my brother. I know you shouldn't have this sort of outlook on life, but my mind constantly drifts back to the mistakes that I could have prevented.

FATHER:  Stefan Silva.
MOTHER: Andrada Silva.
SIBLINGS: Camilo, Alex, Stefan.
EXTENDED: Ithika 
PETS:

"The Silva family motto has always been; "sempre acreditar em si mesmo, não importa o quê." My papa has always been the one that insured us as kids that things will get better, and he is the leader of our family. However, i've always been close with my mama who is my rolemodel. We may be a mess of a family, but atleast we love each other."

I was born in Lisbon, Portugal to a family of all boys. I was the first girl to come into the family for two generations. All of the Silva’s had been boys since the early 1900’s. My father viewed this as a blessing rather than a curse, unlike his superstitious mother who would have disagreed. My grandmother was always against the idea that my father married outside of the country – his wife was from Romania. Back home in Portugal, my parents owned a small vineyard where one summer drought ruined their entire business. My parents spent most of their time tending to the vineyard or working on possible solutions to help their failed source of income. This left my brothers and I in the care of my grandma. Her views on everything were traditional and my brothers were treated like Princes. Although I don’t remember much about Portugal, when I visit in the summer little pieces come back to my mind. My older brothers were constantly causing problems and my grandma’s strong and strict attitude had never tamed them. After two years of struggling, my parents decided out of the best interest of their family to move to the United States. We all had a general idea of English; my mom would sometimes teach us when she wasn’t busy. This also was another thing my grandma abhorred about my mama. We moved to the United States when I was seven years old, we moved to San Francisco as a family but my papa owned a small little apartment in Napa Valley where he continued to work on a vineyard. Since my dad was not around as much, my older brothers walked across my mother like she was a strip of grass. Especially Camilo, who later would ruin our family name. Growing up, I was the center of my brother’s insults, jokes and even sometimes extreme torture. Naturally, the only thing I could do was to fight back. When I was thirteen years old, I broke my Brother Alex’s nose because I kicked him in the face. That was the last straw though; my mom encouraged my papa to find a job closer to home and one that allowed him to keep an eye on his troubled children. Although my papa was anything but unhappy, he took my mom’s request seriously and relocated his job. Our fighting situations got better; however Camilo wasn’t changing at all. He was six years older than me, and whenever I wanted some of his attention he wouldn’t appeal to my sad brown eyes like the rest of the boys did. Camilo dropped out of high school and moved out of our house when he was eighteen and joined a notorious gang in town. My papa was appalled and tried everything he could to help my brother out of his mistake. With Camilo’s drama, I tried to focus on more important things. I found an interest in Politics and I also became part of a kick-boxing team. School came natural to me, and my mama was constantly proud of me. Another thing that came as a natural was attracting the boys. Alex, and Stefan had to fight so many boys off our lawn in San Francisco that they were almost relieved to move out and go to university. Senior year, I was accepted to my first choice university with a full ride scholarship. I almost lost the scholarship due to my eldest brother. Camilo was caught on campus dealing drugs, and decided to throw out my family to the officials. He ended up disappearing for two weeks and when my papa finally found him, he was with his gang. My own brother shot at my father and paralyzed him from the waist down. We haven’t seen or heard from Camilo in three years and I’m honestly fine with it. After this scandal my freshman year I was afraid I wouldn't make any friends, but my roommate came through. We both decided to rush and met some our best friends today in our sisterhood. Currently, I’m a senior in college and I can’t wait to be done. However, just three months ago I disappeared from Los Angeles again. My older brother went off the deep end again, this time dragging our entire family back to our hometowns of Lisbon. My family urged me to cut off contact with all my friends but I couldn't just abandon all my potential graduate school suitors. Three months later, I'm back in LA. I'm a year older, maybe even wiser..in my dreams. Graduate schools were really cool with my situation. Now I'm back to get my life together, even feistier than before.
