Dreams can come true

All over the world wants to go to another place to know the culture, the food, the clothes, the amazing places to visit. The place I always dream of going is Paris. Two years ago I went with my mom and my brothers and it was awesome but it wasn’t like they describe it in movies. In movies what Paris is about is the city of love they say that that most amazing things can happen to you in that place the curios thing is that it’s always about love. Maybe to get my dreams to come true I’ll need to go with someone I love to make it that special like in movies.

I think this might be not just my dream but any girl dream. Maybe you’ll fill like flying if you go with the perfect guy. It’s so big my desire of going to Paris with the perfect guy that I already started making my plans. I told John the guy I like at the time that we should go together to Paris. Maybe he isn’t the right guy, maybe he is, maybe it’s not the time but I really want to experience the feeling of being in Paris with that someone special. Maybe it’s easier to find a husband and then going to Paris but would that be just like the movies?

Sometime we imagine things will be so great that we get disappointed on what it really turns to be. I just imagine everything, being with him buying a Crepe, sitting by the Eiffel Tower. After eating our delicious Crepe going to the top of the tower and get surprise of how small we really are but the amazing things we can do. Each girl will dream of that special moment with her boy and Paris would be consider one of the most romantic places.

Even though my dream is going to Paris I would travel all over Europe. It might be an awesome place to be for what I have heard and also for seen so many famous places that are historical a so pretty. I remember my trip we went to many places we didn’t spend to much time but it was enough time to get to know the most important things of that place. I remember my impression when we got to Rome. I can only say that Europe is my dreamed trip. And I don’t say that I don’t appreciate what my parents did to take my to this awesome place, it’s just that I imagine and expect so many things from this place having a partner that I can’t stop thinking of it.

If I had to choose a real place where I haven’t been and I have to know it would be definitely be China or Japan. I don’t love their food, or the people that live there but I think I would be this really amazing advantage technological place. We can think this are places of people looking all the same wearing weird cloth but what do they think of us when they come some were here.

Some people dream of going to these places and just a few of them work to let their dreams come true. And it might not be like the movies, it might be different form what I expect but if I’m with the right person I guess the trip will worth it. I think that this is the dream I have but maybe when I keep growing I’ll want to have another dream maybe this dream change but I’ll remember forever that I really wanted to make this trip. Who would say that by traveling you aren’t just enjoying but you are getting knowledge from the culture we are visiting. The curios thing is that most of the people dream of going to other countries to know those amazing places while each country has really pretty things to show us. I think that is another important trip I should do and this trip can be named by the phrase Miss Lucky tells us “Nobody love what they don’t know”.  And by saying this phrase she is so right I’m sure that I’ll have the most amazing trips when I grow up but the best will be the one meeting my own country.

More than just friends

Sometimes we hurt people without notice it, sometimes people hurt us without notice either. Sometimes all we want is a friend to be with when the true is that when somebody else needs one we run from that situation. It’s true there are good friends but we choose bad ones too. I guess you need to be in the shoes of someone who has lost his/her faith to understand that actually everyone needs someone to hear them, to spend time with, to give and receive love. I’m going to talk to you about two girls who lost their faith and thought of doing some things just because they where going through a hard time and they didn’t had anyone to share it with.

This story start with one of the girls, we’ll call her Mandy. Mandy was starting a new phase in her life. She didn’t had too much friends and she felt like she wasn’t understood in her house. She thought the only way of leaving the pain she felt was killing her, maybe she wasn’t thinking straight but that were her thoughts. Who would say that that enthusiastic, smiling, happy, smart and pretty girl would feel so alone, sometimes we don’t see the real face of the situation so in this case. She thought of many ways of doing it but she never made them happen because she was afraid of what people would say of her if she survived.

For Mandy this was a hard year because she tried to find herself and make sense of her life. After some time her did she find friends, people to spend time with, give and get love? She felt so comfortable in the group that she is a part of it. While she was still trying to get into the group passed two years and there was a girl in that same girl called Marisa. Marisa had a boyfriend in this time when Mandy was trying to get into the group so they didn’t get along that much as with the other ones in the group and also because all of the girls were in the same class except for Marisa. The group got stronger and bigger they had new friends.

One day Marisa broke up with her boyfriend what she really wanted was being with her friends. I guess I was hard for Mandy knowing she wasn’t really fitting in the group. After some time one of the girls of this group started dating Marisa’s ex boyfriend it was weird for the group being in the situation of what to think. After all Marisa decided to tell her friends that she didn’t wanted to live anymore that she was tired of life that nobody wanted her in their lives. The group was stronger than ever and joiner than ever. When Mandy knew what Marisa was going through she wanted to help but she didn’t know how.

Now a day I can see both of the girls as best friends they spend a lot of time together. Now Mandy is really part of the group. They go out pretty often and nothing can separate them. I don’t know what made their friendship so strong and more between Mandy and Marisa, but I know that this group has something magical because they took out two persons from their hardest moment and I bet that if anyone else is going in that way they will support him/her. This group of friends gives me a lesson of what a friendship is.

By telling this story I just wanted to say that maybe we are going through a hard time but other persons are too and we need to be there for them if we want them to be for you. And don’t wait to the lasts moment to say how valuable they are for you or how much you care for them because we might have some plans for our lives but maybe God has a better plan for us than we do. Don’t risk someone’s life if you can prevent things from happening and try not only to ask for a good friend try to be better than that and be a good friend.     

It's not only about the decision but also with whom you take it

I wonder how adults see they were if they regret of what they went through of if they just had good times or at least they just remember those things. I’m not an adult but I can imagine I will I wonder if I’ll see things as I do right now. I remember just happy moments when I was younger I remember playing soccer because I just have older brothers and they didn’t wanted to play girls things, I remember loving having my mom at home all the time to play and to help me with homework, I also remember I used to admire my father he was my whole world as any daddy’s girl.  I don’t have lots of memories I have heard lots of stories about myself but I don’t really remember lot. One of the things that definitely marked my life is my cousin. She is 5 month smaller than me so we get along pretty good. She is the only person I can really trust in. I can tell her anything about my life or what I think and I know she’ll be there just looking for me. As she does with me I also do with her she can tell me anything and sometimes we hide things from our parents but we don’t form each other.

The story with my cousin that I remember the most was when we were about 5 years old and we were playing and if we fight we use to say “ I got an idea lets not fight again” of course that was impossible but we wanted to be happy still having good time. I remember we were in her house once and we had a fight and se almost said our phrase but I stopped her because I knew that wasn’t realistic I told her that maybe the phrase was the one who made us fight again. Since the days we have some different thoughts but we haven’t had those bad fights. Now we get along so much better we have similar interest and some different ones but I’ll always know I do have a sister because she is the sister God gave me.

Why do we have these memories why do we don’t remember any other time. We have talked a lot and if you ask any of us about our childhood we won’t miss saying that history. In my childhood I had a good time with  my parents I loved spending time with my brother and I didn’t liked that much my big brother but he was part of my family. If I had to describe my family I will tell people about her too.

This wasn’t that long ago but it did happen. As I already mention sometimes we hide things from our parents but we also trust in ourselves. Once I wanted to go out with a boy I didn’t had courage to ask my mom for permission so I asked her for an advice. It turned that she also wanted to go out with a boy too. That was when we got the idea we would pretend to go out with each other as we did before but we would meat our friends inside no body would know except for us. We made our plan asked for permission and we went, the real deal here was that none of us did know the boy in person. We took a dangerous decision and now we see it but in that time we didn’t thought of it. We were dying; we didn’t know what to expect what was going to happen. I t turned thanks to God that they weren’t bad guys and as we did the just wanted to know more and new people. We went to the movies we talked we had an awesome time and everything went well. At the date my parents and hers don’t know about that event. I think after what happened to those girls some time ago they will die and wouldn’t let us go out again.

I think my cousin in fewer words is like my miracle. She is everything I wish for a sister if I had one. She plays a big role in my life and hope I do the same for her. I think how I will remember these stories after some years. What would I think of the decisions I took in my past and hopefully get better decisions if one of them wasn’t that smart. I have the best cousin everyone could wish and thanks to her my life it’s just like it is.

Small changes can make big diferences

Today I’m going to talk about someone that can make me move the world upside down for her. It’s a story about a girl she is 7 years old and she is my cousin. She is really important in my life and the reason why I wanted to write about her is that she is an amazing girl and she is so glad with everything she has and some people including me don’t appreciate what we have.

The beginning of this story was almost 4 years ago. My Godmother was sick she had cancer. She was a single mother she had a 3 years old daughter called Maite, who was my cousin. I can remember the week when she died that Wednesday my mom was with her and no body was at home so my brother and I couldn’t get into the house we were so angry. When my mom arrived we started screaming to her that why did she left us outside the house and we just could think of anything but us. She tried to explain herself that her sister was getting sicker but we didn’t mind. The next day I went to my grandma’s house where my godmother lived too. That day was the most impressive day of my life I remember how awful she looked she was yellowish with lots of tubes around her everything was shocking. It was so hard to se her that way that I couldn’t get closer to her I couldn’t even say hi. That night I had a dream, it was about her she wanted to talk to me and I went with her I remember that she told me to be strong and keep on going, in my dream I told her I loved her that I couldn’t way more time I didn’t wanted to loose her without her knowing them. That same Friday she passed away I did went to her house to tell her what I needed to what I knew I could say after my dream, but she wasn’t there anymore.  

That is when an adventure began it was really hard that day. How can you explain a 3 years old girl that she didn’t had her mom that she wasn’t coming back ever. It was so hard just to imagine that and some people have both of her parents and treat them like garbage. I know that she will do anything to have a mother. Maybe she never meets her father and maybe she will never do but she will still have an empty spot in her heart for one. What was more impressive is that she started to go to a church group how easily was for her not getting mad for her lost. I couldn’t be in her shoes I wouldn’t be like that I would have a fight with god for a lot of time. I love this girl like if she was my little sister and since I don’t have one she really is the sister I didn’t had. And for her I might be her older sister. We love playing together, we go to the movies, we listen to music, and we look at some T.V. shows. We can do all kinds of different things together and maybe I don’t have time in some occasions or she is at her ballet, or at someone’s house but I know we have this love feeling one for each other.

Why is she so important for me? First of all I feel like I can teach her how to live and depending on others how she will be when she is an older person. I want to make a change in her life; I want to know how it feels to put a little bit of you for others growth. Some time she confuses her authority or she isn’t sure of what she really wants because people contribute in her but she is an awesome girl. I wish I could have the same grades she has, the same abilities, being that strong. It is hard her life but she made her way out of every difficult situation and she did the same with me.

Some time ago I wasn’t sure what I believed. I was kind of lost in my faith. By watching her going to the church I decided to learn more some time after that I went to confirmation. That really marked my life I can believe in God without seeing, without touching, I believe because of her. Maybe it sounds drastic how can a little girl show us some things but I can say that my little and lovely cousin did changed my life and I love her and I with her my best. That is how a girl whose 10 years younger than me teached me a lesson and she was a good teacher because I learned it.      

Parents know

I remember how parents always said to all their children that the first impression is good and that may describe you but you don’t judge a book for its front page. How can parents say that they are contradicting themselves and that only confuse us. Well after some time you realize that parents know what they say.

I know a story of a girl her name is Ana she used to have just one friend in elementary school but at her last year her teachers decided to separate them so both would know new people. Ana was scared to know new people but she made new friends, it was easier for her to get along with some of them so she started to separate of her old best friend and she didn’t spend that many time with the friends with whom was a little bit more difficult to get along with. What Ana didn’t know is that she wasn’t choosing her friends by how they treated her, or how they heard her, neither for being good friends for her.

A couple of years latter she was friends with the same people but she realized the truth. Her group was getting advantage of her. It was a small group just 4 people isn’t that much. But Ana still was fighting to getting in the group. She did everything thinking that they were made for being her friends. She took her “friends” homework and did it. At the time of the exams it was really easy for her because she had written the same thing 4 times. But for her friends were really hard because they didn’t put attention at class and didn’t did their homework so that made her get to the next level cheat. She was now forced to give them copy in the exams because they didn’t knew anything. After lots of nights without sleeping, doing a harder work than she should, studying not just for her grades she realized she wasn’t happy.

Ana started new relationships made new and better friends. Maybe that was just a lesson for Ana so she would realize who her real friends were. And she realized that the impression they gave her was confident, trust being part of something. But it was better to be part of other groups; those groups in witch it wasn’t easy to get in because they did were good friends.

Sometimes we just see the good things and we close our eyes to the reality and that was what happened to Ana. I know she is happy now. She has more and better friends; she learned how to be a good friend without doing all the hard work, she grew up as a person and if you see her you wouldn’t think of her as a girl that once didn’t knew were she was supposed to be.

Maybe in this case our parents were right yes there are first impression and sometimes we don’t see them as we should. Maybe the girl next to you with the worst dress is a better person than the girl at your other side with the most beautiful dress. That can only remind me of once that I went to my best friend birthday and now one appeared. It was just us we had the most amazing time but by the time I realized she was different at school. She was awesome I could share so many things with her but she wasn’t the same she used to say she had many things she didn’t. I didn’t wanted a friend that lied to get attention. Now I see her she has become mature, she is a better person, she has been to many things but sometimes I see her and remember the times when she said lies. Maybe she has more things and better things but I don’t see where having things can take her. As I can see it the only thing you can get by saying all you have is hypocrite people around you.

We should judge people Jesus told us once that God was the only one that could judge. What are we doing by criticizing people. What do we thing we are to judge people by what they wear, what they look like, what they have. First impression of people can make you think some things but know that a first impression can be good or bad and you don’t know how people really is until you get to know them.
