FRIENDSHIP IS MADE BY FIRST IMPRESSIONS?

 FRIENDSHIP vrs FIRST IMPRESSIONS


Last year (2010) I came to school and it was my very first day in third grade! I wake up really early and it was freezing outside but I didn't care I just wanted to see in what class I would be assigned  and also  I was exited to see all my friends and talk about our summer experiences , then It was recess time and I was talking to my friend Annie about our vacations and talking about gossips and remembering memories of second grade. 


It was 2:00 o' clock and it was time to got to our houses, but every person that is not from buses , we wait for our parents in the gym area and we are separates from grade cliques , so we came to the gym with Annie and we sit and start talking , then I saw a new girl in the gym stairs and everyone was talking except from her and my first thought was she is to shy for me.
So my mom pick me up and I said goodbye to all my friends also I said goodbye to the new girl.


The next day I came to school I saw my friends and again It was time to go to our houses , so  I came to the gym with Annie and I start talking to one of my friends Celeste and we were having fun and the she said to me , come here I want to introduce you a new girl his name is Maury, the first thing that came to my mind was... what a strange name she has. Maury is a white girl , with a wavy light brown hair and  almost everyday she uses a classic pony tail , She is skinny and she has small light brown eyes with long lashes and she didn't  use make up except from a dark eye liner in the bottom of his eyes, She also has severals moles in his face.


Then I tell her Hi how are you? and she answer me with a gentle and really soft voice that I barely listen Fine thank you. The first Impression I had of her didn't change I think that she was to shy for me and to sweet. The next day I start talking with celeste and Maury was in there so we start talking and she really was a nice person , so every day we came to the gym stair I was talking to Maury and Celeste.When days were passing us by I felt that Maury was a kind , sweet , humble ad down to earth girl. So I keep on talking to her , but some friend tell me why are you talking to maury? she is very shy and quiet and I do not know , what to talk to her!  I didn't care and later on I keep on knowing Maury better and almost every friday we sit on the gym stairs and each of us (Celeste,Maury and me) bring different things to prepare our snack and we eat all of the snacks until it ends.


Until my friendship with maury was growing I felt that I was changing I was becoming  better person because of Maury , now I was more polite and kind with every person.In this year I am in the same class with  maury and she always remember me that I have to be a good person and that I have to make my best effort with my grades and I am very thankful with her because she shaw me the price that life has. She showed me that she is a real and unique friend, because this last week my grandfather died and she support me like no other friend did.So thank you Maury for everything you teach me and help me. More than my friend my sister <3

NEW BEGINNING, NEW LIFE ,NEW FRIEND,NEW ME!

We Always have someone that we admire , just because we want to be like them , but in my case is a Little bit different. because I do not want to be like her ,  I like who I am and I do not think I have to change in any aspect I’m not saying that I’m perfect but I’m proud of the person I am . It was on may 23th of 2009  that my life make a 180 twist , It was a sunny saturday and it looks like a normal and boring saturday like always , but it was not. My cousin was in the hospital because she had cancer his name was Helka in our family  we said to her Helkita , and every saturday we came to visit her , this saturday like always we came to the hospital “El Pilar”  to visit her. I was sitting on the sofa next to my cousin room and a lady came next to me. It was a old gorgeous lady , with white short  hair that it looks almost like cotton ,she had a pink long dress with flower prints  on it ,and a Brown mocasins , she has a big precious Green eyes  with long eyelashes, his nose was very White almost pale ,with Brown freckles and a lot of wrinkles. She has a beautiful and radiant  White skin with tiny red lips and his mouth full of  wisdom. And then she tell me why are you in here  swettie? And I tell her uhm well my cousin has cancer and I came to visit her. She tell me oh really I have cancer too , what is your name? I tell her it was Mariandre , where do you have the cancer? What is your name lady? My name is Ana Isabel  she said, and I dont even know in how many parts I have the cancer, I already  lost the count. Last time it was spread all the way to my pancreas but thank God I’m steal alive and I do not reproach anything. An I was amazed of how she didnt aproach anything  so I tell Isabel that if she already lose his hope and Isabel said no ,hope and faith is the last thing we have to lose in life. I  was impressed about the way of thinking of Isabel , I mean she has cancer and it is spread almost to his entire body how not being depresead with  this awful situation. So  we keep on talking  and she said to me “Im not afraid of diying  I’m just afraid of the way Im going to die” I mean who in this world is afraid of dIying if you are going with God and live a joyfull and happy life ,well of course if you are a good person , she laughed. Every Word she said was full of wisdom and knowledge. I admire his positivism and the way she thinks of life. She also said to me that life is not to please everybody but to please yourself , but she also said Im not saying we dont have to help others but we do not have to make everyone happy because that is just impossible. I was stunned by what everything she was telling me , she told me that she has four kids,  three boys and one girl  they didn’t live in Guatemala and she lost comunication with the four of them and she tell me that they didn’t know that she has cancer but I’m okay she replies I’m just confident that every human has his or her bad time and now is my turn. In my head I just think this is not just a bad time this is  a horrible situation  that is not fear for her. We kept on talking and she said to me that she is a nurse in the hospital  and every sunday she is not suppose to come but she came to the hospital to visit the sick children and she prayed for them and she was praying for my cousin , she tell me I think that your cousin Helkita is a beatifull angel and dont worry everything is going to be fine for her ,some people would not agree of what God choice is but it would be better for her. I was totally confused and  I didn’t get it in that moment. I left the hospital and the next day in the morning  may 24th my father received a call of my aunt saying that Helkita dies we all were devasted and we couldnt believe it , months later I came to the hospital for anual check out and I found Ana Isabel she hugged me like no one has ever hugged me  and the only thing she  tell me was I hope you understand the things I said to you  and she left. That night I didnt sleep remembering everything she told me the night before Helkia died and I remember she said “dont worry everything is going to be fine for her ,some people would not agree of what God choice is but it would be better for her” so then my life change now I understand the purpose of life  , life is not triying to please everybody because that is imposible , but life is trying that people live their life to the fullest ,  maybe someones life last less than others but for me LIFE WORTHS! And I’m going to take this trip with no regrets. I’m really thankfull of everything Ana Isabel  taught me that day and I know that by now she is a beatifull angel in heaven <3 .

Yesterday is history, tomorrow is a mystery and today? Today is a gift. That's why we call it the present <3.

NO HOPE , NO TRUST!

The First time I feel with no hope and no trust It was 2 years ago . For me, Family is one of the most important things in the world ,I have My mother named Noemi , A father named Antonio and my Little sister named Mariadela. We where on summer vacation and my parents were getting a divorce but it wasn,t official  yet , but my sister and I were having separate vacation time with my parents. So it was our time to go with my mom , My mom decided that we have to go to a vacation trip  , so we went to Xetulul that is an amusement park ,  we arrived and we were having so much fun it was a sunny day , the clowds were perfectly White and the sun was big enough to warm all the country. We unpack our stuff and then we went to the pool , an hour later my aunt and my cousins arrived and we were enjoying the moment at the pool joking and fooling around. It was time to take dinner and the sunny and clowdy day dissapear it was raining and the sky was a dark as possible , we were walking to the restaurant , to get to the restaurant we have to walk near the pool so I was walking and there was wáter in the floor so I flipped and  I felt in the ground and I hit my head , I hear my mom talking to me and saying my name but I cant open my eyes I remember that my head hurts so much that I can’t even get up , so finally they took me to the hospital and I was fine , minutes later my aunt receive a call from one of my father’s friend telling her “THE BAD NEWS” my father had a horrible car accident and he was in the hospital . They didn’t  imagine the maginitude of the accident nor  the gravity of the injuries of my dad. Hours later they received another call , it was my grandparents they were crying because my dad was not going to walk anymore and that was not all he could even be a quadraplegic person , he wouldn’t be able to move his arms nor his legs , BIG SHOCK  huh? , My mom and my aunt didn’t want to tell anything to my sister and I but I was’nt dumb I knew that something went wrong and it was a big deal , so I asked my mom what was happening and she tell me with a soft and sweet voice nothing my dear is just that we are leaving tommorrow and do not ask why , and then I was more curious  , I mean I was a kid when someone tell me that do not tdo something I do it ten thousand times. Well we came back to my house and my mom tell my sister and I , I have to tell something to you girls , but first of all ,everything is going to be fine. So my mom throw us the bomb , my Little sister didn’t realice the magnitude of the things  so she just surprised and say so everything is going to be okay? Right? And In my head I just think  WHY ME? WHY THIS HAPPENED? WHY MY FATHER?  HE IS GOING TO BE FINE?  WHERE IS GOD IN THIS SITUATION? WHERE IS MY HOPE AND MY TRUST?  And all of the sudden I was crying and feeling really dissapointed about life and questioning myself if  trust and hope really exist! I came to the hospital and all my loved ones were crying and debasted , I remember that the doctor camed out and tell to my grandparents that my father broke his  sixth disc of the spinal cord  and he said that he may have a solution but it wasn’t sure that its going to work effectively  , If my dad and they agree they could make a surgery and use a titanium sticks and stem cells . My dad agree and he was excited and in that moment he was the most positive person I ever met , the surgery last 6 hours I stay the hole time outside the operating room . they finally camed out and the doctor said that everything was a succes but it was not sure if he would be able to walk. My dad wake up and the first thing he tries to do is  move their leg , unfurtunelly things do not work that fast but he moves his toe . the doctor could not believe it neither my family . I was in there watching my dad moving his toe it was a miracle and I was surprised and amazed what God and faith could do. Also the strenght my father had , help him to be able to walk again. Now my father is fine he is working like always and supporting me and my sister. And he walks like nothing happen so I thanked God for every miracle he does every single day. <3
