In 2005 at the age of five, my childhood officially began in Mexico—I moved from Iowa, so my family could take care of my sick grandfather. I ended up being a tomboy because I hung out with my boy cousins. We loved watching The Incredibles, so I pretended that I was Mr. Incredible, and my cousin was Syndrome. I always stopped him from attacking a city.
Since I lived in small town Mexico, people were full of stereotypes towards how a young lady should act. I realized that what I was doing was not acceptable. When school started, other girls didn’t want me to play with them because they thought that I was weird. At that time, I was so confused and didn’t know what I could do to feel accepted.
That’s why I wanted to be like Mr. Incredible.
