Story of a gypsy girl...

Hi my name is Kristina and I am a coffee addict!

So the reason why I am here on steemit is because I wanted to post my love for IT, fitness, food, traveling and most of all because I want to motivate people. I would like to share my story.

1. It all began in Croatia, Zagreb. When I was growing up during the Homeland War between Croats and Serbs, it was difficult. I was two years old, and it lasted until I was six. Even though I was born in Croatia, my grandfather from my mothers side was a Serb and I have a Serbian surname.

2. During the war everyone with a Serbian surname was literally pushed out of their homes by force by the The Blackskirts. My mother defended our home and both me and my brother with an axe. With everything that comes with war, we are very lucky to be alive.

From my mother I got my independent character, and from my father I've got my gypsy soul. My father is gypsy and my mother is white.

1. I don't know how much you know about the gypsy people in Croatia, but most of them are uneducated. Only 29 students who are Roma descent are going to collage in Croatia. And I graduated from my IT college just last year. My field is Computer Networking, but I am very interested in Digital Marketing.
   

2. This year I had my first bikini competition in Koper, Slovenia. And I was 2nd, it's been a great competition and I am very proud of myself because a competition diet is very hard, and during the preparation you build character and determination. You become a new person, and suddenly saying no to chocolate isn't so hard. It was challenging because I was just a girl going to the gym recreational. And if I can do it, so can everyone else.
   

3. I am a proud owner of two amstaff's. Eggy and Rio. They are my two babies. Eggy is 8 years old and Rio is almost 3. We saved Rio from an abusive home, and now he is a king in his castle.
   

I truly believe that you can be anything you want to be, you just have to decide. Be your own motivation, and when you don't have the motivation you need to be determinated to change your life for the better. Maybe people will label you from time to time in your life, you just need to be yourself and never forget where you come from.

Peace to all, and lots of love
