Introduce Yourself/Tell About Yourself: Heeey! My name is Marina,i’m 18 and i’m from Brazil! Well, what can i say? I always thought myself as a dreamer! But recently i had to “go back to earth” and the reality shock made me think about some things… I’ll share more with you ahead in the interview. About me: i’m crazy about cinema, i love Adele and Angelina Jolie and i dream to travel the world! Nice to meet you!

What Inspires You Every day? : the new chances. I just love the way every day is different! We always have the “second chance” over and over! 

What is some words of wisdom you live by?: I love to think about past and future! All we need to know is between these two words. Love, laugh, live and, mostly important, CHANGE your present! You can live in any “reality” you want (marvel taught us well)!
I live for the change because i know it will always be here for me!

What is your ultimate goal in life? : My final goal is: i don’t want to look back and feel sorry! God, that is something that i hate! Right now i’m sitting here, writing this… and, omg this is an amazing experience! How many others “amazing experiences” we have out there in this big world?? so many, guys! So many! So (now i’m talking with you and me) take the risk! Do anything you like and want with all your heart because we only value things, when we’ve already lost them… 

How have you been during the pandemic and how has it affected you? : I have to say: after this, i’m a completely different person! As you know the pandemic here in Brazil was (and still is) so hard! We never had a proper “lockdown”, the govermment only adapt social distancing and ask people to stay at home, but i’ve been in quarentine since then. During this time, i lost all confidence that i had in myself. It was so sad because we have to trust ourselves and i had the felling that something was missing… ME! That’s what was missing! I was like that for months and months and i still don’t feel complete! But guys, hold on! 

What is a message you would like to give others? : I was watching “the crown” once in Netflix, and the queen said this “history was not made by those who did nothing” that’s it. From that day forward i never forgot that phrase! So, i want you to know that you have a major impact, trust me you do! You don’t need to change the world! All you need to do is want! And than you can do anything! You can influence your neighboor hood, your commutiny or just your house… That’s making history! Don’t be afraid, i trust you! 

What else would you like to tell others about you or your life?: I would like to say that i’ve tried! I wish one day i’ll be looking at my grandchildren and i will be able to say ‘i’ve tried”. I don’t know where i will be in fifty years but that’s the message that i would like to leave! You have to try anything, everyday because today is the only day that you can try to do It! Tomorrow? We can’t trust in this guy! “He” may have bad plans for us! So, just try to do somenthing! I know now that i can and i know you can too!
