Maria das Gracas Silva Foster

We didn't have much money. My whole extended family used to help us, and buy us books and food. It was hard, and there were things I didn't want to talk about. But at the end I was a happy girl.

My childhood was happy, joyful but very difficult.

I have two children. I gave up a lot for my career, but I'm very happy for it. I've done what I've always thought was best for me and my family.
