I couldn’t
believe my eyes…
This happened
at the end of summer , when I had already finished all my exams . I lived in
Najera , a small town in La Rioja , but not for a long time : my mother and I
had to go to go to live in Calahorra because of my mother’s job .So , she had
already rente dan apartment and , sometimes , she travelled to Calahorra to
leave some of our things in our new home .
I’m definitely
not a lucky girl . Stupidly , I decided to go for a walk with my grandmother’s
dog .It was very funny until I realised that I had no keys .But I remembered
that my uncle probably had a copy , so I felt relaxed again and kept playing
with the dog .
A Little
worried , I went to my Street and began asking the neighbours if they had a key
of my house . None of them had one .I felt the urge of giving myself a facepalm
. What was I going to do alone , all night , with a dog too small to hurt
anything bigger than a rat (unless it was a really huge rat) and worst of all ,
without my school books ? Would I be murdered ? Would I fail my exams ? What
would I do with the dog ? I couldn’t enter the school with him the next day ,
even if I survived that night .My paranoid and dramatic personality started
imagining the most horrible scenarios . I felt like the main carácter of a
horror movie .Only the dog biting me playfully but showing very little control
on his own strengh kept me in the real world .
After boiling
my brain trying to find a way to enter my house , I thought about visiting a
friend of my mother .I didn’t know if she was traveling , but she was my only
hope .She wouldn’t have any copy of the keys , but I would be safe for the
night .The only problema was that she lived far , in Uruñuela…
I went to her
house , hoping she would be there , attacked by that crazy hyperactive dog
which wanted to play and kept running everywhere and biting my feet .Unluckily
, my mother’s friend wasn’t there .She was probably enjoying the sun at a
beautiful beach , while I stood alone with the night already falling , a crazy
dog and no school books .I swore and cursed the dog , Calahorra , my
grandmother , my neighbours , my mother , the keys , myself , all the world…
I made my way
back and decided to try to hide somewhere and hope no crazy murderer would find
me .I finally arrived to Nájera and crossed sadly my Street .Then , I started
wondering where to go , when I saw suddenly the dog looking at me with a
hopeful look in his eyes .He was probably hungry and knew that I usually had
dog treats in my pockets .
I put one hand
in my pocket to give him some food , and felt something metallic .When I looked
at it , I couldn’t believe my eyes and hesitated between anger and relief .
Finally , I
hadn’t forgotten the blasted keys .They had been there . All the time .
Again , I
wanted to give myself a ‘’facepalm’’ .And that time I did it
, to the shock and amazement of the few people that were near me , and of the
dog , who was still waiting for his treat…

It’s never too late
We
were 15, Emma and I thought about our journeys in the future. We were always in
search of adventure. We signed in at all camps and trips. We looked extreme
sports too, rafting, mountain climbing, hiking in trails. But when we got to
Bachelor our lives were separated. She went to London
to study and I went to Barcelona.
I kept an album with photos of the places we wanted to visit. One of the places
that caught my attention were the Niagara
Falls, an amazing destination. I was 32 at this time.
There is still time to travel and live adventures. I searched her phone in my
old diary may be she hadn’t changed it. I phoned her but other voice answered
me. Her daughter I supposed, she looked sad. I asked for Emma but to my
surprise she had died in an accident two years ago. I will not give up. I took
a plane and a helicopter and in few hours I stood at the falls. I couldn’t
believe my eyes when I set foot there. The view was unbelievable. The light of
the sunset painted that amazing landscape with warm colours. I breathed deeply
and I remembered Emma. She would have loved to be there with me, climbing the Niagara Falls had always
been her dream. Tears were running down my cheeks, many memories were running
in my mind.

AURORA
A person that I admire is Aurora she is my basketball
coach. She has an average height, her hair is brown and short, she is about
forty two years old but she appears less. She has got two daughters: Sandra and
Carmen, they are very good playing basketball like her mother.
Aurora loves playing basketball. She starts playing
basketball when she was a child. I admire Aurora because she is always happy
and she never gives up. When we lose a match she encourages us. She has a lot
of energy and she is very fun. Without Aurora the trainings would not be the
same.
Aurora works in a school she is the physical education
teacher. The name of the school is San Andrés.
For me Aurora is the best coach that I had. Because
with Aurora I always learn a lot of things.
