For you

I hope your Christmas will be PERFECT, because I'm sure that you want to rest, stay in with family, meet friends, buy presents, have dinners with them...

I love Christmas because I'm always remember the things that happened the last year, and the relatives who already are not, and I supose that you too.

I can remember how started 2008 for me. I was always saying: new year, new life...

I began the new year, starting school again and meeting friends. I also start the competitions of dance with a lot of energy. I was very happy!

Months later it was my birthday. It was very funny. I was in home when a friend phoned me to congratulate me and tell me if I wanted to go to her house. I wanted to go so I went. When I arrived she told me the way that I had to walk and I walked. We went to her swimming pool and when we arrived... there were all my friends making to me a surprise party in the swimming pool with music, food, drinks, presents and the swimsuit! I was very amazed. I couldn't belive it! It was the best birthday party I had in my life. I never forget it!

On the 5 of August morning, I was going to the airport wit my parents, my aunt and my cousin and three more friends. That day I caught a plane adressed to Guatemala. I spent 16 days there! It was fantastic and I learnt a lof of their culture.

On the 15 of September I started school, a new course. I met friends I also sarted dancing again.

Now, it's coming Christmas, and I'm going to make the same things like all the years. I'll buy a lot of presents, I'll be a lot with family and friends and I'll rest a lot!

I hope next year will be OK! Also for you!

Have a nice Christmas and a happy new year!

Mireia.

my only hope

Have you ever listened a song that is always in your mind? It happened to me two years ago, and now I love it... I recomend you listen to this song. But probably, it will be always in your mind...

Living with a disability

My name's Susan and I've been in a wheelchair since I had an accident. I was twelve years old. It happened when I was coming home. It was raining and I was crossing the street. A motorbike appeared at the end of the street. It was going very quickly. I didn't have time to react, and the motorbike didin't stop. I can't remember anything else. I only know that I woke up in a hospital, and I had to learn to use a wheelchair.
Now I'm working in a office. People are always helping me and I haven't got any problems with anybody. I think that my life is not like before, but I'm OK. I have to go in a wheelchair because in the accident I lost my feet and the operation wasn't successful. I can't walk but I can move my legs.
Sometimes people look at my feet and I feel bad because that is something that annoys me a lot. But there are a lot of people that are very nice with me and if I need something they always help me.

My life

I was born in Sant Cugat, on 25 of June of 1993. I lived in a little flat when my parents decided to moved to a big house. I can remember the best moments with my best friend Andrea. Before we borned, our mothers were best friend too. I also remember that a teacher in daycare confused us because we had blond and curly hair. We went to the same school since I was seven, that my parents decided to change me to an other school. I went to a public school called Collserola, in Sant Cugat. Now I'm in Pureza de Maria doing the last year of secundary school.

I changed a little bit since I was a child. Now I'm more mature and I think a lot before do anything. I'm more funny now, but when I was a child I was very loving. Now I'm very shy, but sometimes, when I want to do something, I forget my shame and I actue. I dance since I was five years old, and now I'm fifteen years old. In that pictures there are me with to friends in a competition. In the right it's Miriam and in the middle it's Alba. I think that I 'm a good friend, because when someone need my help, I'm always there.

When I finish school I want to study architecture and ADE (business administration). I also want to work in Guatemala in a NGO called intervida. I knew that this summer when I went there. I think that if I study architecture and people there want, I could work for they, building houses, schools and more buildings. I think that's a good idea for help them.

Before I'm old I want to travel a lot and visit a lot of countries. I think that it's interesting for me.

To save the life to your future love

The incident began at six o'clock on a fabulous day. The wind started to blow, and the beautiful sky became ugly. It was cold. A few minuts later the sky was dark and there wasn't anyone in the street. Then it appeared a woman runing. She was screaming, 'Help! Please! Help me, please! There is a tornado!' She was crying too. Suddently, it was a tornado behind her. She became to sting in the houses, but nobody answered her. Finally, a man happened in a car. She rose to the car. The driver started to run. But the tornado was very quick and after prosecuting them, the car raised and they disapeared. The tornado crossed the whole city.

The next morning, the sky returned normality. A boy was walking in the street when he saw the woman and the man inoncient in the car. The car had hit with a house. Next to the car, it was a dirty swimming pool. Lucky the man and the woman were ok, but the boy phoned to the ambulance and he took a photografy of the situation.

Five months later, the man and the woman get married. Now they are very happy, but they don't want to remember this disagreeable day. Maybe it will happen again.

This photo is from Guatemala, my holidays. I saw a lot of things like this.

This is my favourite song:

(8)Listen, baby
Ain't no mountain high
Ain't no vally low
Ain't no river wide enough, baby
If you need me, call me
No matter where you are
No matter how far
Just call my name
I'll be there in a hurry
You don't have to worry
'Cause baby,
There ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you
Remember the day
I set you free
I told you
You could always count on me
From that day on
I made a vow
I'll be there when you want me
Some way,some how
'Cause baby,
There ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you

No wind, no rain
My love is alive
Way down in my heart
Although we are miles apart
If you ever need a helping hand
I'll be there on the double
As fast as I can
Don't you know that
There ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough
To keep me from getting to you
Don't you know that
There ain't no mountain high enough
Ain't no valley low enough
Ain't no river wide enough(8)

If you want to be happy, you have to go to your own paradise. My paradise is like this. I share it with Claudia and Isa.

There is a volcano, a vehicle, the summer house and the winter house. It's PERFECT!

Nathan sais that fishing here, will be cool. I think so. If you think that you need more holidays, and you haven't got it, comment me.

And imagine your own paradise.

Mireia.
