I Have Many Different Nationalities By Maya Sofia Popova (Age 10)

Hi! My name is Maya Popova and I have different nationalities! My Dad is from Bulgaria which is in Europe. My family travels to this beautiful country! You see, I have two first names which is common in Mexico where my mom is from. I am also America. I was born in Iowa in 2009! I look very European but act very Latin American. So, I celebrate some Latin American holidays and some Bulgarian ones. But, I don’t hide my difference. I FLAUNT THEM!
