There are many varieties of bottled water, such as mineral, purified, sparkling water, and more. Some prefer it because they believe it is safer, cleaner, and has a better taste than tap water.

Since that day I realized that not all people are the same in this world. People around me, with different stories, anecdotes or difficult situations they are going through. No one knows what you are thinking or what you want to do with your life.  Not only because I was going to have a great experience with my parents and friends, but because I was at risk of losing my life. At that time, I was only thirteen years old. I was living in Lima, Peru, my country of birth. At school I was starting my first year of high school. I was a bit nervous. Not only because of the beginning of this new stage, but I had to learn the route by walking to get to the school, which takes fifteen minutes.
