About Mariana

Hi! My name is Mariana Paiva, I'm currently a 10th grader, and have been working in the OLMatters team for about a year now.  I have studied in OLM since I can remember, and have never been in any other school.

I am a hopeless romantic, who loves chocolate, reading and writing. I remember reading my first book and thinking that it had been the worst experience I had ever gone through. Oh! How wrong I was! Throughout the years I have acquired an obsession for books, and  now a days, I'm trying to perfect my own literary skills.

If I were to compare myself to an animal, it would probably be a bird. A very young bird who yearns to spread its wings and fly, but can´t quite do it yet, as it does not know how to. I feel like there is a lot of life to live and freedom to embrace outside the academic walls, which I have not experienced yet.

However, as my mother often likes to remind me: I still have a long way to go and a lot of memorable moments to experience. Therefore, as for the present, I intend to enjoy each moment of it as best as I can.
