Growing up being the only girl in the pack was tough. My brothers and cousins did not spoil me and I was not allowed to play with them most of the time. While the girls played with dolls and indoors not to mess up their dresses, I was playing soccer and getting dirty with all of my friends. The moment I realized that not only girls cried, was when we came back from a hiking trip and one of my brothers fell in a hole trying to protect me. We both broke an arm. However, he cried as much as I did, if not more. That moment I realized that not only guys can be tough, but girls too. I believe that not always having a father figure makes someone tough as well, because my mother once told me “Don’t cry, it only makes the boys look tougher” and that will always stay with me forever.
