The unexpected happens!! :)

Everyone at his or her life, every children or even adults have a fear at a point of their life. It may be a scary movie or a vampire series, a monster that lives under your bed or in the closet or the one who appear in the dark, it also may be any animal that you have a bad experience like a bite of a dog, wolf, horse or more.  There also people that is afraid of other people because they make you cry, scary you or only scolded you.  Well I am one of this entire people that have a fear of a thing, well an animal, and all begging’s when I was a child I really don’t remember how age I had   but I had a bad experience that mark my life and some people thinks that bad things happen in unexpected times and there it was. That one ordinary day that my mom tell me that we are going to go to the doctor and well we go at normal at the doctor and there were a case in which a children have a bite of a spider and my doctor have a call in that were an emergency of this child, he have to amputate his arm because there were a poisonous spider. He went to the doctor´s office to have a check up and I start having a little bit of scare. Well all of this finish and I go to my house at every day and start dinner as normal. Every night my father accompanied me to bed, so that night he does the same.
I stepped into my bed and my dad turn off the light in seconds I start feeling a bit of tingling when I take out the savannas there was a spider in my bed I start yelling like crazy, my mom and dad get very quickly to my room and ask me what is happening and I tell them that there where a spider in my bed. Well from that day I am afraid of spiders.
I start growing up after that day and I start to forget about my fear. I was in that age that all want to be hard at scary moments and make other people get impressed at how I don’t are scare about anything. All my friends start to see scary movies and me too, but then there were a movie name Harry Potter a famous film that everyone loves even me. But in one of those movies there appears gigantic spiders and when I see that, I start to feel very nervous and it only was in a movie. Time later I start to see spiders more often and I always scream to make me the favor of kill it. I never going to forget this time, when I go to school and we were in class with Ana Maria and we were reading a book of Spanish and I remember that I was talking with a friend about life and the teacher call our attention because we were doing so much noise so I take out my book to start reading and my friend take his lunch box up her desk and I review her lunch and a spider pass next to me I scream very hard and put my book in her desk, when my teacher calm me I take my book and opened to start to read and when I opened the spider where there and got in my hand. My only reaction was screamed and cry and everyone was looking at me. I feel very ashamed because everyone starts to make fun of me, but I really was very scared.
My teacher talk to my mom and tell her that I was very scared and that if she can help me controlling that and she talk to me and she tell me that we are in its habit and that there will be always spiders at every place I go, and tell me that I have to be hard and bold to kill them or even leave it there as it would not existed because the spider is not going to do me anything. All animals have those instincts that smell the fear and if I have that fear more spiders is going to appear. I always say that I am always calling spiders because I found them everywhere.

what an amazing place! :)

Over the years nature has created wonderful and exciting places all over the planet for the likely adventurer to discover and explore new things. In the world existed a number of amazing places and all are in 4 continents that are Africa, Asia, Europe, and America. All continents have their countries all different, with cultures, languages people, technology, colors and so on. But there is a place that really want to go and know every corner about it, and that place is a country name Norway. This is a place which I really want to know but I not had the opportunity and the money to travel to that amazing place. This is a country which is in Europe a little bit far from America so that is one of the reasons I can’t go.  Norway shares a border to the east with Sweden; its northernmost region is bordered by Finland to the south and Russia to the east; in its south Norway borders the Skagerrak Strait, across which Denmark is situated. The capital city of Norway is Oslo that are the one that is most populated. Norway also talks his own language that is Norwegian and has his own cultures, have his holidays, have his own suit, different type of people.
I would love to know Norway not only for its beauty but also for its beautiful view, for its places, its weather, for their cultures and also for stunning natural formations carved over hundreds of thousands of years by the last ice age glaciers and offers visitors a spectacular landscape of mountains, glaciers, lakes, rivers, forests, waterfalls… which creates one of the most breathtaking scenery in the world. Norway is very special to me as though I don’t know it is a different place, where people share where is safety, where is not much racism, where there are different climates, where there are different feelings, a beautiful place with many landscapes, snow, and unique people.
I had the opportunity to go to an exchange called CISV in which I met many people from different countries like USA, Chile, Italy, Germany, Canada, New Zealand, Brazil, and Norway among them this. I met 3 wonderful people call Cornelia, Anna, and Fredrick, which were super nice people, friendly, and people who always spoke well of their country. I became very good friends with Cornelia, she is a model and she have to represented her country at national gateways and she told me time ago who people in her country were related, how they dressed, how they are transported and so on. She showed me pictures of where she live that is in Oslo in front of a huge lake which almost always lives frozen because the climate is cold, but also showed me photos of autumn, which I can see a very nice view of trees and leaves falling. From there I fell in love with Norway, after seeing so many beautiful pictures and hear everything she told me.  Just when the camp finished they stay a few more days and then we went to learn a little from Guatemala and she was enchanted for all she saw and was very funny because we said that she will stay here in Guatemala and I get back to Norway. She then had to return to Norway and for now we keep talking on facebook and always has something new to tell me and that has happened there, she always send me new pictures of her and stunning locations. Once she sent me a picture of a place that I will never forget because I loved its beautiful structure and was the Royal Palace.
Well now I invite you all to know a little about this wonderful place that Norway is to me. That pretty and intense place where you can live a great life and meeting so nice people as I met and also see another perspective, a clean, orderly and safe place. I invite you to look up pictures and see that beautiful country that you don’t know. I really think that if you really hear about it you are going to love Norway as me. I swear I will fight for to go and know my wonderful place, always remembering my country Guatemala!!

An important person!!

When I was a little girl (around 5 years old) I meet two girls, twins, than are very important persons to me.
All started one morning that I wake up to go to school, my father or my mother used to take me out to school every day.  That day my father was going to take me.  When we got out of the house, the  traffic was very heavy and my dad try to cross the street but didn´t saw a car that was coming at his right and he collided that car.  The driver of the other car called the owner that lived in the same condominium we do, so meanwhile the owner came to the place were the collision was, my father took me to the house so my mother could take me to the school. Later, my dad get in an agreement with the owner of the car whose name is Jorge Estrada, who quickly advertise that my father was Mexican and he commented my dad, that his wife was Mexican too.
Days later the whole family Estrada came to my house to introduced themselves. In that day I met those important persons that are Lourdes and Adriana Estrada (they are twins). They are a year younger than me, but we get together very well. They have curly and red hair, white skin, they are skinny, and are identical twins not only her face but their bodies too. They look so similar that the only difference between them is that Adriana has a little mole in her nose, it is so difficult to identify each one even to his bother than he use to call them Las Ayas, and everybody called them Ayas. The Estrada family are:  Jorge, the father, Lourdes, the mother, Jorge Eric, Ana Karen, Lourdes and Adriana.  Jorge Eric their bother is a year older than my bother but they got together very well too.  So the relation ship between my family and the Estrada´s Family started and continue being so close and good since then. Lourdes de Estrada had a lot of relations with other Mexicans  and she introduced them to my dad, so there is when we started to get together every Friday, parents and sons, the old ones used to talk, or play poker, or dance and the little ones used to play, watch movies and start to make that important friendship. We have travel to Tikal, Antigua, Miami, El Salvador, to the lake, to the beach, to Mexico together, inclusive we went to the Irtra together.
We get to known each other too good, that I have more confidence with them, I tell everything about me and they tell me everything about them. They are good at giving me advices, they are so sincere, honest, good friends, they are so expressive that every time they see me they get so happy and they express that happiness to me.  We talk every day, and try to do the things together, go to parties, and even though we are in different schools our friends known each other.  We use to help us, to make us laugh; we used to be there when someone needs.
They are so important in my life and I know they are really good friends and I know they will be there when I need them, as I know they know I will be there for them, I love them and really like to  spend time with them.  We laugh so hard every time we said something, and we like to get together every time we can, always have something to say and always are aware of our lives.  We respect and love, and most of all we are honest and we care for us. We live in the same condominium so that make that we hang out more often. We love to dance, so we like so much to go to parties and dance all night. We have so much in common like our favorite food, going shopping, travel, and more. One of the moments I never going to forget is when we went to El Salvador, we travel in car but we go in the same car. There was so fun and the relation with our parents are so good that really spend a nice moments.   I really enjoy being together, they are my best friends and they are so important in my life and they make every moment in my life happy and different. I really have to thank them and God for their friendship.
