hola my lovelies. i’m caitlin, & this is your 5 x 5 on my bae, valentia laurita calero. please excuse me now, as i’m sleep for like three years before i motivate myself to go to the gym.
born in santiago de cali, colombia in ‘92, & moved to belfast in ‘06 with her parents; who upon being undermined by the local medical community, spent the next decade climbing their way back up to the positions they had once retrospectively held.
spoke basic english before moving to belfast, but had to pick up the language through school, where she would have excelled in the sciences, if the language barrier wasn’t so extreme. spent the majority of her schooling career learning english until she could speak with an ‘almost-fluency’.
developed a brash attitude at a young age, after continuously being undermined in the classroom, & society. can be brutally violent, both physically & verbally, at a moments notice, yet often chooses to hide behind snide remarks & a general ‘bitchiness’.
scraped together enough passing marks to graduate high school, after which she started working as a full time waitress at the diner where she had previously only been able to nights after school.
working at the diner, she learnt how to sell her sexuality with a flash of cleavage or a not-so-subtle innuendo, until after her eighteenth, when she graduated to sucking cock behind the dumpsters for an extra hundred in tips. she moved out of home in ‘12 with the money she had accumulated in this (or a similar) manner.
moved into her sycamore street apartment with little in the way of savings, & continued to dabble in prostitution to make ends meet. later, she traded in her job at the diner to work at a small bar in the city as a bartender, which slightly upped her financial situation.
although she would never admit it, she plans on applying for a university scholarship, where she could study chemistry & physics, & become a voice for the immigrant & american/latinx communities’ struggles; including the institutionalized racism & discrimination they (& she) face on a daily basis.
