TRAVELLING

Since I was a child, I have loved to travel abroad. During my first years of life, I went all along Spain with my parents each summer. Asturias, Cantabria, Navarra, Galicia, Salamanca, Albacete, Sierra Nevada... and many others. I remember this summers with a great smile, always discovering new things with my sister and being in contact with nature. We stopped this annual travellings when I was 9, but then started the best to me. At Christmas in 2009, at the age of 11 I visited Turkey. It was a very exciting experience to me, the first time I took a flight, the first time I leave Spain, my first travelling without parents... It was exactly in front of the Blue Mosque when I decided to spend all my money and free time travelling abroad, and from now, I've fulfilled it. From this start, I have been always looking forward to travel, first I visited France, UK and Italy. All these without my parents. Nowadays, I am saving money for my always dreamed travel across USA. Have you ever heard the truth that you never go to bed without have learned something new? While travelling, you never go to bed without have learned at list, 50 new things, and this is my reason to keep travelling until my legs allow me to.

MY LITTLE COUSIN

When I was 5, an incredible new was told to me. I were going to have a new cousin. At first, I thought 'Oh my God, she will steal my little girl range', but some months later, it wasn't important to me, I had known my best friend ever. On her first years, she didn't talk much to me, but I knew that she was going to be a very smart girl. Later, when she started to act and think like a person, she told me that she knew that I was going to be one of the most important ones on her life, and I also knew she would be to me. As time passed, we changed from talking about tolls, horses, friends to boys, as we still do. During this period, we started treating us as sisters, so that's why, in fact, she's my little sister. Although someone could think that our relationship is based on family ties, our connection is bigger and different, we have never had dilemmas between us and we will never have. She is my little sister and she will always be.

MY CHILDHOOD WITH DISNEY

Since I was born to my 12, I spent all my evenings watching Disney films. That fact could seem common to everyone, but there's a particularity on it. When I say watching, it is just a supposition, because I was never looking at the TV, but always hearing the dialogue. It started like a game, but my mother says that one day I started asking for it myself and she lent me, obviously. That game consisted in covering my eyes, hearing a film and imagine how were the characters. But I didn't do it once, I heard most of the Disney films and at least three times each, to improve my imagination. Of course, this strange way of watching Disney films has actually very fun anecdotes, from falling asleep on the saddest moments and wake up on the happiest to have been recorded in video with a sash on my eyes singing 'You will be on my heart' from Tarzan film. Nowadays, I still love Tarzan, The Lion King and Brother Bear films, which have supposed very important learnings on my life.

MOVIE INTRODUCTION

I love scheming films. This kind of films are very interesting to me. By watching them, I feel anxious, impatient and all my senses trying to guess what happens. 'Memento' is a film that starts from the end, so that's why is scheming and perplexing. This fascinating film catches all my attention and that's why I love it.

THESIS STATEMENT

Topic. Gun ownership

Since Donald Trump victory, everybody is thinking about the gun ownership. Although it has been allowed and forbidden during the years, nowadays most people thinks that they shouldn't be allowed. Every American citizen could be a gun ownership, as well as everyday we heard about unjust deaths on the USA or authorities such as Police that lose its power because of that. Nowadays, it should be regulated with some rules, for instance, subjecting mental health of the owners.

POEM

Shall I compare you to a sweet cloud?

You are simply the best

And I'll tell you out loud

That you are the nicest

The way you cry with me

The way you always stay

Makes me feel the

Homely day

Like a lifelong condemn

Be my lifelong gem

Comparing and contrasting musical styles

On the image I see two different types of music and performance: rock music and classical music.

Going to a rock concert is always very different from going to a classical music concert. When you go to a rock concert, you are active, you sing the songs, you shout and in general it's very exciting. However, when you go to a classical music concert, you don't make this things. You enjoy the sweet music quietly and never shout or sing, at the most you hum in a short voice. Also, when you go to a concert you are with many more people, and it's obvious that what you are going to feel in that moment would be influenced by the environment. I've went to both kind of performances, and I enjoyed the most the classical music one, because I were much more relaxed and enjoyed it just by myself. Nevertheless, when you go to a rock concert, there is always someone very excited (perhaps too much) and it could affect you. When you listen to music at home, it is similar. Most of the times, when I listen classical music is when I'm going to sleep or I'm going to get a tea and read serenely. It's the same with rock music, I listen it when I'm going to do something active, for instance to clean the house or when I'm doing sports or walking on the road.

In fact, I don't have a favourite kind of music, it depends on the way I feel at the moment.

My best friend Marina

Six years ago, a girl called Marina and me started to be friends on messenger website. We were from the same city, but we haven't ever seen each other. One day by chance, we started to speak daily about our skills, our family and friends, our schools... It started to be more and more frequent until we met for the first time. We were in different schools, but we made plans every evening together because we got on well since first date and we had a lot of fun together. As the years passed, we keep doing the same and our friendship was getting better and better. Last year of school we decided to change into the same class because we wanted to share everything together, and it was a nice experience. Nowadays, we still meeting every week and having fun since first seen. We know each other like the palm of our hands, we know when we need help or whatever from the other and we'll be always together, even if it doesn't mean near. This is my always dreamed friendship. 

About refugees and internet as a human right

On the one hand, I find that this idea is awesome and Mark Zuckerberg is kindly. Here we have an example of someone who wants to help and he does it by the way he's skilled. But thinking about it seriously, I don't think that's so good. Letting apart that Mark Zuckerberg is being solidary and society committed, I think as myself being a refugee and I wouldn't like that they make internet a preference to me while I'm not having a house, money and either a land in peace. I would prefer to get some place to rest in peace whit all my beloved people. But, at least, any help is needed, so thank you Mark Zuckerberg for this initiative and I hope that some other “big fishes” take example from him.

On the other hand, to transform internet in a human right it's something I also find well, but not a priority. It is a fact that nowadays, internet works as a substitute of everything, for example, books, shops, post, school... and it's so useful for anybody because it helps a lot on daily life, but it's important that you have basically things before having internet. My suggestion to transform internet in a human right it is to make it free for everyone in the world, because, in fact, internet companies earn most of the money that we pay for it. It would be also great to create special items for those who wants some enhances and make them pay for it. By doing this transformation, everyone will be able to educate themselves or anything using the internet connexion.

In short, internet is a useful utensil, but it is not essential.
