Twelve-year-old Katelyn Price dreams of being a writer and living in Paris when she grows up. She doesn't go to school like other children her age but is bright and very ambitious.
Katelyn didn't have a positive experience at school and left last year. She puts this down to how she was treated for being a Romany Gypsy.
She is instead being tutored at home on the site she lives on in Newport with her family. She is being taught by a private tutor paid for by her family because they want her to have the education many of them never had.
Her grandfather can't read or write and he didn't want his grandaughter to be the same.
Katelyn is a proud Romany Gypsy, who stands up for members of her community.
She recently joined others in protesting at the potential threat to their homes on Brickyard Lane in Newport due to a land dispute.
She dearly loves her family who have lived on the site for the last 14 years.
Northern Hay Stables is a large space and is a mixture caravans and one-storey homes. There's an impressive old-fashioned wagon on the site, which has been in the family for generations, and a number of carts.
Katelyn's 11-year-old cousin Nathan excitedly explains all the mechanics and workings of the carts with a surprisingly in-depth knowledge for someone so young.
Katelyn left school almost a year ago with her family deciding to pay for tutors instead.
"When we used to go to school, people would torment you. Just because you're a Gypsy," she said.
"Me and my cousin, they made us stand up in assembly and said 'these are the Gypsies, Gypsies like to be outside and Gypsies like to feel grass' and they made it sound like we were crazy.
"I had to stop doing PE because I wasn't allowed to wear my earrings or my bracelets - it's part of our Gypsy culture - and I had to stop doing all the activities all the other children were doing.
"[It made us feel like] we were different from everyone else."
She said one friend changed in their attitude towards her after finding out she was a Gypsy. "She knew I was a Gypsy and she didn't want to talk to me," she said.
Katelyn loves being a Romany Gypsy.
"Non-Gypsies will have a bad experience and think it's bad but it isn't. "It's good. I like being a Gypsy.
"You want to be friends with everyone but at the same time you don't want to be friends with someone who doesn't want to be around you anyway."
"I'd make friends with anyone but their friends would ask: 'Why are you hanging around with the Gypsies?'
"They'd have a bad experience and say 'why are you hanging around with them when they've done this or that'.
"We're not all like that."
Katelyn's grandfather Sam Price said the situation is getting better but the discrimination is still there.
After bringing over cups of tea for everyone, he says: "What happens is children get a bad experience in school and they don't want to integrate.
"We've got friends who are non-Gypsies, they come here and mix in with our children. And even those little children have been stigmatised for associating with them, just for being friends with them.
"We try to integrate in, we've got very good friends who aren't Gypsies. But they've got friends who'll say 'why are you hanging about with them Gypsies?'
The 54-year-old said: "People used to say, 'don't bother with the Gypsies they'll steal your children'.
"It's come on a lot since my day. I've grown up with discrimination all my life but the youngsters today know a lot more about different cultures.
"But Gypsy culture is one they haven't caught on to much - there's still a stigma."
Katelyn isn't optimistic about the future.
"I don't think it'll ever change," she says.
"I think it's not the same today, but it'll never stop.
"We go down to the town on the horses and carts and they're staring at you, like the people my age. They'll look at you and think 'aw it's just the Gypsies' and they'll be horrible to you."
Despite some of the negativity that comes with the lifestyle, Katelyn wouldn't have it any other way.
"I like this lifestyle because we're a very close family and I like to be close to my family.
"When you're a Gypsy to get to do more fun stuff with your family."
But it's not all protests and riding off on quad bikes to collect the Shetland pony - something Katelyn showed us during our visit to the site.
She also talks of her love of books and how she wants to be a writer in Paris when she grows up.
The 12-year-old has her heart set on becoming a writer in Paris - a city she says inspires her.
She's already seen a lot of the world for someone so young, and was also inspired by Anne Frank during a holiday to Amsterdam. She's been journaling ever since.
Katelyn's mum, 34-year-old Crystal, thinks her love of books comes from her. Crystal's favourite is Pride and Prejudice, which she has read over and over.
Katelyn said: "I like to read David Walliams books and Jacqueline Wilson books - they're my favourite two authors.
"I read a lot, I can read all day.
"I want to be a writer in Paris. We went before, and I want to live by the Eiffel Tower.
But she knows that education isn't for everyone.
"My grandad is 54 and he still don't know how to write today. And there still aren't a lot of educated people [in the community]. There aren't any doctors or people with careers in the Gypsy community.
"It's because they can't go to school, or they don't want to go to school because they're judged in school.
"There's only a couple of people in the community that want to go to school or they want a career.
"There aren't a lot of people who go to school, or want to, because they're judged when they're in school.
"You don't want to go somewhere everyday, where you're being judged.
"Now we've got more access to education but years ago there wasn't."
Katelyn and the other residents of Brickyard Lane are involved in a land dispute after they claimed the council was forcing people off their land.
Newport council issued an enforcement notice and said this was breached by the number of caravans on the site.
Katelyn's grandmother Colleen Rogers, 45, said she owns the site and has lived there for the last 14 years.
Colleen claimed the site has housed the same amount of people and caravans since they arrived.
Legal proceedings were instigated by the council and the case is due to be heard this month.
In June, the UK Government launched a new national strategy to tackle Gypsy, Roma and Traveller inequalities.
It provided £200,000 of funding for six projects to improve educational attainment, health and social integration.
Communities Minister Lord Bourne said: "We recognise that members of Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities continue to face some of the steepest challenges in society.
"Despite ongoing government work in this area, it’s clear that more needs to be done. To bridge these divides and tackle these vital issues, we are launching an ambitious programme of work, to be undertaken across government, which will aim to tackle the serious disparities faced by Gypsy, Roma and Traveller communities."
