Hi, I’m Montse. I have always been a very positive girl. Most of the time I’m laughing or making jokes. I’m also very sensitive. When someone raises their voice at me or I feel offended, I try not to cry or take it personally, but it usually still affects me. If my friends had to describe me in two words, they would probably say I’m very sociable and active. It’s actually hard to make me angry — I almost never get mad. I have many hobbies because I love trying new things. For many years I
