Few things about my biography

My name is Catalina Tomckowiack, the girl with the weird last name. My father gave it to me when I was born, it's been twenty one years from that moment. July 26th, thats mean I'm a leo which I think is a very important thing when you get to know me, it is the moment when you can decide to run away or not.

Big sister, Mom and me

An interesting fact that not many people know about me it's that even when my last name is of Polish origin, the truth is that I don't know anything about my father's family and theirs roots, but I do know about my mother's family history. Even when I don't have the last name of my grandmother, she is the one who gave me my origin, the one I feel identified with. Her father was a Spartan leader who arrived to Chile escaping wars to save the lives of all his community members, because the greek culture it's all about trusting in your leader, who would give his life for you. He founded the first Greek community in Chile and worked for the embassy of his country here in Chile, so my mother's life and also mine, has always been very close to that beautiful culture.

I grew up with my mom and my big sister, because my father left when I was only one year old. Even when I have felt my dad's absence during all my life, the two amazing women life has given me, are all that I have, they are every part of what I am now.

Over the years I received another five siblings: one last sister and four little brothers. They're all my heart.

I went to a two different public schools, both with academic excellent, which was a difficult but
aggrandizing experience that made me realize how hard real life was, and the different lives around me and my family bubble.

Now I'm studying acting in Universidad de Chile, happier than ever, loving every second of being here, every moment I get to know the extraordinary people I'm on this trip with. And I'm probably scared almost all the time, but this was I've always dreamed of, and I really hope to be able to be this happy for the rest of my life.
