This is my Life

On December 5, 2009, to be more specific, on a Saturday at 2:30 PM, I

was born... Hevonny Khamill Genao Tejeda, today 15 years old, 1.65cm tall

and 102kg, as a child I was always very active and a very happy girl, I did a lot

of mischief and thanks to all those mischiefs I will be able to do this project

and share a little more about my life, both good and bad memories. Since I

was very little, I learned to do things by myself, my chores, bathe, eat and

even play because my brothers are older and when I was little, they were

young, they didn't have time to play with a 4- or 5-year-old girl because they

had their things to do, I remember when I lived on Avenida Libertad by the

roundabout.

This book will talk about the life of a teenager from birth, things that

marked her life, hard times and happy moments, Hevonny Khamill's life was

very varied, she learned to dream big and do things well, also about things

that made her.

I have always known how to understand others when they need it, when

I was one year old my first niece Yeirelin was born, the eldest daughter of my

brother Jeison, then Franjeici was born daughter of my older sister Jaime,

according to what my sister tells me when I was little I always slept hugging

her, when she got pregnant with Abi she can never sleep with her again

because the belly would not let me, She tells me that I was angry about it.

When I was only 3 years old I had two nieces, in my world back then it

was just the three of us always and we have countless memories together,

memories that will remain in the tree of my brain.

I loved that house because the yard was big and I could play alone. I

remember that in the middle of the yard were the stairs to go to the owner's

house, and at the bottom of the stairs, it wasn't covered, so I made it my

guard. I would put cardboard on it and play kitchen. Further down there was

an unpaved area where I played in the dirt. The house was small, but I liked it

a lot because it was cool. It was fun while it lasted.

When I was 8 or 9, we had to move to the house I live in now. It wasn't

that far from the other one, so the move was easy. When I first saw the house,

it was at night and it was dark. The house is very complex because it looks like

a maze, and I got lost. I shared a room with my sister and had my own bed,

but I still slept with my mom, I still sleep with my mom because there are a lot

of people in my house, today I regret not sleeping alone, but I like sleeping

with my mom.

When I went to my dad's house, it was a lot of fun because he had a lot

of friends and was always playing in the street. Right now, it's very difficult to

see that over there because they've moved away and very few people go out or

have distanced themselves. When I go, I spend time with Dad at home or

sometimes we go out for walks. I have a stepmother and two little brothers.

I'm my grandfather's first granddaughter and the first niece of my dad's

brother. My grandfather passed away on April 30, 2016, from a heart attack.

Sometimes I get sad about his absence, but then I remember how happy I was

with him in his lifetime. My grandmother, thank God, is still alive. My

maternal grandparents both passed away. When my grandmother passed

away, I wasn't even born yet, and when my grandfather died, I was very

young. My maternal family is very large; I have relatives everywhere, so to

speak.

In 2023, when I was in 3rd grade, at that time my friends were only 6 of

those who are now, I remember that they stopped talking to me several times

for insignificant things, but we always went back to talking normally, except

for one of those fights, that fight was the worst thing that could have

happened to me in my life. It was a Monday, I entered the normal classroom

but I see that one of them who was sitting behind me moved from place to

place leaving me alone in my seat, I found it super strange because the day

before I had met one of her and we were super normal, it turns out that they

had stopped talking to me without me knowing why, That day I felt horrible

because I didn't talk to anyone and I was alone, before we went to recess one

of them gave me three pages of a notebook that were stapled, when I read it in

its entirety a tear came out, the letter said why they stopped talking to me at

that time with many things that until today I can't overcome. On the last page

of the pages, it said "justify your answer", in the little space they left me to be

able to vent I wrote how I felt at that moment; I remember that in my

notebook I started to write and in one part it says “but well... nothing can get

worse, ¿right?"

I remember that when I got home I got very angry because I didn't find

the point to stop talking to me again without a clear reason, in the past I was a

very hypocritical girl and I got to do things that my current self would never

do, but when I met them and they taught me what it was to trust someone

despite their defects for me it was very sad just to think that I was already I

will not speak to them again. When I calmed down and ate a little, I took a

sheet of paper and a pencil and started writing on impulse, the gifts, letters,

photos, etc. I eliminated them from my life. We said things that we regret until

today, that dark memory is still in my mind, when I least expect it it is there to

bother me, but between us that rivalry is in the past, in our group three

beautiful girls joined that I really do not regret having welcomed them in my

heart, Now between us we help each other, support and understand, for me

they are my home, they taught me many things and thanks to them I was able

to get out of that horrible feeling, also thanks to that situation I met my best

friend, she was the one who stayed with me despite everything, I met new

people and I was able to get out of there.

This page is full of feelings, thoughts and words that I have a hard time

pronouncing but over time I will be able to express them lightly.

Every two years I go to the countryside with my sister's grandmother,

who is not my grandmother, but I love her as one. Every time I go there, I feel

weird, because seeing all those families that, if it was family, white, speaking

English and me there is nothing to see if I felt uncomfortable in those

moments, but my mentality back then was very complex with their skin color,

because of their curly hair and their height but myself now is very different

from that of 2023. Now I like my height, my body, my skin color, I like

everything about me, well not everything, I'm a

I feel bad about things from the past, it's not that I live stuck in it, but

that I always have it in some action, desire or in a simple thought. I am a

person that if you marked me either for good or for bad, I will always

remember you with the most beautiful moments we have had together, no

matter how many bad things you have done or have done to me, I will always

remember you with the best version.

My dad has a car, a 1989 Corolla, it's a joke that it's not new, it's old

and unpainted, that's why we call it "daddy's little gadget". In that little thing

we have many memories of trips and moments that cannot be forgotten, with

that little thing daddy goes to pick me up at home and takes me to beautiful

places here. I remember on my birthday that I was doing some braids at about

5:00 and I left at about 7:00, because it turns out that my friends were going

to go to see me but I was not at home, I was on the avenue, my niece took

them to me, and when I finished the last braid that I was missing, when they

are putting the fixative on me and stuff my dad comes in and my youngest

niece Yeimelin says "look a bald man came to make tranzas" and I look and it

is my dad, I remember that my friends and I exploded with laughter, when we

left daddy told me "Hevonny, let's buy a pizza and a cake" and I asked my

friends if they could come and they came with me in my dad's little pot. When

we got to the mermaid to buy the cake and we were going to eat pizza, Hisaira

and I sat together in the front because Ashley, my two cousins and my two

brothers were behind, when I told Hisaira "close the door

it lasted" she closed it and the glass fell, I remember that we lasted the

whole way laughing about it, and my cousins and brothers were saying funny

things and that's why we were laughing to death, to this day my friends don't

get over it, there were only two because I wasn't going to do anything but

Ashley and Hisaira went to take me their gifts, the others just listened to the

anecdote.

Since I was little, I liked to dance a lot, always doing Tik Tok, at the end

of 2023 I started to perfect it with K-POP dances. I got to know the Korean

world through Hisaira in 2022 but I said that I was never going to like that

and for that reason it took me a while to get in, I remember that at the

beginning of July 2023 I had gone to her house because I was going to confess

that I liked BTS, she taught me several songs to learn how to differentiate

them and start listening to them.

What does BTS have to do with dancing, that thanks to the K-POP

choreographies I was able to learn to have more body control, learn new steps

and have more flexibility, thanks to that today I can do the choreographies of

school dances without any problem.

Now I'm going to talk about what we did on each of my friends'

birthdays last year:

In February on Sheila's birthday, we went to a restaurant and ate a lot,

in August Hilary's went to her house to spend the afternoon there and ate

macaroni and salami, in September Silein's and that was the XV of my life, in

11
 12

December I didn't do anything we just went to eat pizza and cake, in

Hisaira's we went with a sanrio theme and we danced a lot, Ashley's we went

to a pool and played a lot, To top off all these birthdays is that of the youngest,

Saoni October Elisangel's and we went to her house to eat and celebrate, in

that for that birthday we went to palenque for a beach pool, on that beach I

wallowed because the waves were super strong and when we were going to go

out they came like 3 waves of the same size and that helped us to get out, I

have scars on my knees from the roll we gave each other. The truth is that I

don't know what I would have done without them because they are like my

sisters, they are my everything I really thank life for putting them in my path,

sad days do not exist when I am with them, laughter and jokes are not lacking

when we are together, I do not want this to be just a memory of my

adolescence, I want us to laugh together until our hair turns white and our

back hurts Thank you for all the times you made me feel good when I needed

it most, may the hugs and I love you be infinite.

In my sister's house there are also many memories of my childhood,

when my nieces and I had a sleepover, I remember that we watched movies,

we played some games that we invented ourselves, one of them was in the

gallery, we said that someone was chasing us and we ran around the gallery, I

remember my sister scolding us several times for that. I also went to my aunt's

house on December 24 for Christmas dinner, I loved going to my aunt's house

because it was fun to be with my cousins apart from the fact that my aunt had

a lot of dogs and I had fun, the yard was large so I always played there. There

were many memories we had in that house, one of them is that my cousins

scared me, they locked me in the room and you told me that there was chuki

and I started crying badly, I remember that one day my cousins flew to the

neighbor's yard to look for mangoes, they wouldn't let me and I got upset, but

I was a girl of 5 or 6 years old and that's why they wouldn't let me, now I

understand.

Well to conclude this book of my life, I would like to talk to you about

my goals for the future, one of the main ones is to have my dream job that this

would be photography, already having my own house and those things, that

my dad and my mom have their own houses and all kinds of luxuries, to have a

partner when I can achieve all that, to be able to travel to Italy and South

Korea, to fulfill my dream of being a professional dancer, to learn to play the

guitar and other instruments.
