Shakira's childhood was the same as many other children from middle-class families Barrankili. She went to Catholic school, to the beach with friends at a party, but added that the daily routine even further: dance rehearsals, private lessons vocals. It was enough time to write songs, because she was going to become a singer. Those who knew her then, they say that it was very funny, playful, mobile and always something to hum.

In the area of El Limonsito where Shakira passed childhood, the family's closest friends had a family Vengochea Shakira. One of the daughters, Vanessa, for many years was the best girlfriend Shakira. They were found and now, when Shakira happens in Colombia.

"We have remained good friends even after she moved. We tell each other about everything that happens with us. She always listens to everything very carefully and give individual advice. I very rarely saw her sad. As a child we loved most of all go to the beach and playing volleyball, though we liked and just posedet and talk to each other about life. At weekends until late at night, we watched a movie on my home. She always wanted to become a singer, but said all he wanted to study psychology, "- Vanessa said.
During the last meeting girlfriend not talked about career Shakira, and discussed the latest local gossip.

Since Shakiroy it was impossible to watch a movie. "She loves horror movies, but when she watched them, then permanently embed their comments and observations. When the movie ended, she would discuss it, but none more than the desire not to."
In addition to Oscar, the first battle-frenda Shakira, no longer wanted to go with her to parties, because "dong Nidiya always insisted that they returned to twelve." Paola remembers once Shakira and Vanessa went to the party and the detainee so badly that the guys who were with them, and left their kinuli and girls had to return hitchhiking.

Vanessa, Paola and their mother felt that Shakira is not changed. It remained the same simple and fun. When Shakira comes to Vengocheasam, she always wig and sun glasses to her, no one knew.
Another neighbour, Catherine Ripoll, remembers: "It was very simple and friendly child. Day she sat on the stairs with a guitar and sang. All told, that one day she glorified.

Richard Ricardo, who now become police lieutenant, is proud that met with Shakir, and I'm glad its successes: "She loves his work and always with sensitive to others' problems, she even gave us advice. I remember once we were in the club Comercio de Maico. The scene was at one level with spectators, and people began to pester her. At first she extend his hand to welcome them, but then they wanted to touch it. Some were drunken. It scared, but in her eyes was panic. Nam concert had to stop and withdraw it. The last time I saw Shakiru at a concert in Barranquilla. She took me in his hotel, and I saw that it is as simple and good. "
Mauricio Pinilla was also dancer Shakira. "I remember that she has always been self-confidence, good and playful, very tied to their work. I have always believed in her.

But we supported each other and Shakira calmed down. "
Guillermo, now a professor of mathematics, also danced in a group Shakira. "She was always near when we need it or we were just sad.

My girlfriend has not learned that she wrote herself Shakira. "
Cesar Navarro, dancer and actor from the movie magic, it was a close friend. "It is for me a very special person, very close friend. It shines its own light. Its main feature and the best - sensitivity. Once, when we were in Bogota, I was raised in Barranquilla, to tell that I did not have a university. I am very upset, but it is also very experienced because of this. When I told her the news, she zaplakala and said that it is his fault. That's what it: always going through because of other people's problems. "
Study
Donna de Conchita Salchedo and Gina Bianfi teachers have been vocal Shakira. The first also trained her dancing and acting craft, and the second was preparing to contest Viña del Mar.

She was always very seasoned and well-expressed their thoughts," - Conchita dong said.

Gina Bianfi
Maria Claudia Manotas was Shakira class at school La Enseñanza. "At school, Shakira was judiciously and disciplined, but inadvertently owl. Sometimes, during a lesson she wrote poems and divert to the songs on the back cover of their notebooks, but it is too fast shvatyvala and when the teacher called her, quickly looked at the board and immediately into the material. During the control she began to write the latter. No one no one to write off because we are very afraid.
