An Important Person

A person that came into my life changing my way to see things with other perspective in a good one and is so important for me and he also became one of my best friends is Sebastian M. He is good looking, he is really tall, curly hair, brown eyes, skinny and his voice sounds like a little boy and it is funny to heard him talk, he has big feet and he is athletic. Also he sometimes smells like me because I borrow his sweater and when I give it back to him he smells like me and if not he smells good, he also likes sour candies and he eats a lot, every time I see him, he is eating. Sebastian is the kind of person that always smiles and even though he pass through rough times he always thinks positive, he also has a big heart, he is funny,lovely, he is trustful, hones, kind and a really good friend. I get to know him really well and I know he is there for me no matter what and I have so much confidence with him that he sometimes call me "brother" and it is kind of masculine but he tells me that in a good way. He came to into my life when I needed someone and now I realize it was funny how we met. I was new at school and we were at final exams at the first unit, it was march of this year something like that and I really didn't knew anyone and suddenly he appeared and he was making fun of the teacher and he never stop talking so the teacher move him and make him sit behind me and I remember I was taking my math exam and he start touching my head, my hair and making all kind of noise and then he started talking at the middle of the exam and I turn around and I ask why he was so noisy and impatient and I said please stop bothering and he look at me with an ugly face and started laughing and he looked like a pretty little boy and he was funny but I was in the middle of my math exam, and he started playing with my hair again and with a ruler and the most amazing and funniest thing was that que was at the middle of the exam of math or chemistry and he started eating an apple and there was when I thought that he really didn't knew anything about the exam and the only thing left to do was bothering me and we had two more hours left so he had time to bother every single person in the class but no, he was focus on me. The time passed and he quiet and after that I realize I needed him to make noise. I don't understood why but I turn around again and I ask him why he was quiet and then he smile and he told me I thought you were angry at me so I decided to stop but if you want I can start bothering you again and I just smiled and keep on with my exam after that we sit together every time we had final exams and I really get use to the fact he always is bothering me while we are in exams so in this final exams and next year I will miss him. Now I can't only tell that I only know him since seven months ago but I can tell I have good memories with him and how he came into my life will be significant for me all the time and I hope that he always have that smile he had when I met him.

First Impressions - Andrea Mendoza

First impressions mean a lot. They can be suspectful because some people pretend to be kind lovely with good intentions and at the end they are the opposite, with bad intentions and the only thing they want is to hurt other people or get some money and also it can be in the other way, with good intentions. First impression can help you to get a job too. Some people can judge or criticize someone very harsh only with the first impression they have of that person and I think that in some way that is good because we have to be careful with the people we trust and if they are good for our lives but also I think it is bad to judge people from the first impressions because we are people and we have good days and bad days and we also make mistakes. Personally I try to don't judge people until I really get to know them because I believe in second chances. I already passed an experience where I judge someone and I really had a bad image from him. His name was Daniel. When I first know him I really even care about him, I thought I would never see him again and then the days passed and I really needed a favor and the only one who can do me that favor was him and at the beginning I was a fool and some people try to convince me to talk to him and change thoughts about him and I refused several times until one day I talk to him and asked some questions and even though he never talk to me or get to know me really well and he give me some advices and told me few things that I didn't have to know and he really help me that night, he stayed with me like two hours talking about the same thing and that was like seven months ago. After that he always support me and ask me to go out and he always told me good things to be happy. Later on I don't know how but we start talking every single day and about everything from movies to elephants and we really have that type of connection that we tell each other all our problems and feelings. After all that happen my image about him start changing I know the bad and good side of him and that he was that type of friend that support his friends no matter what he was a person with a big heart and that even though he had a lot of problems in life he always see life in a good way and he taught me how to see life in a good way above all the problems we have to face as humans and the time passed and since that day that was like seven months ago we talk every day and he became one of my best friends. I really think I misjudge him at the beginning and I really think that people deserve second opportunities because if I never give him that second chance I would had never had the pleasure to know him and say he is my best friend and I appreciate every single thing he has done for me and that sometimes he had to tell me some hard things but I know he does that for my benefit. Now I learn that We don't have to judge a book by it's cover because they can give us surprises and we can mess up with that person and later on we can realize that but it can be too late and we have to think that we don't like that people judge us.

Names where changed.

Childhood Event by Andrea Mendoza

Well an event that mark my childhood was the first time I went to school to an interview that was going determine if I will be able to study there or not. The thing was that I went to the school and the principal was a man that did not had his hands, he had a prosthesis and when I got there and saw him like that I was really surprised because I was like four years old and when we are four years old to seven years we think that these kind of things only happen in stories, and movies, etc. Also I felt rare because I have my two healthy arms and he only have his prosthesis. At the beginning I was nervous but when I started talking to the principal I felt comfortable and I was sitting next to my mother and then I move next to him and start touching his prosthesis and I asked him " why do you have an umbrella instead of an arm?" And he answered me; I do not have umbrellas this are my hands and I was really confused and because he saw my face he started explaining that he had an accident and he lost his hands and I asked him if he was feeling pain and he told me that he was feeling good and that with the prosthesis he was able to write and do more things and that the things did not hurt anyone. So I started asking more funny questions like how do you eat? How do you go to the bathroom? How do you drive? and more and more questions and my parents were ashamed, nervous, and angry because it is not normal that someone starts asking a random person about their prosthesis because some people may think or see that person being disrespectful and more if it is a child that is asking because they think the parents do not correct and educate their child, so my parents were ashamed and my mom was telling me that I should keep my mouth shut and I really did not understand why my mom was uncomfortable because for me it seemed something new and interesting and then the principal heard that and told my mom that she never has to tell me to be quite with something that I was curious because it stops the possibilities of learning new things and that he really liked the fact that I was a funny and sociable kid and he want to talk with me and answer all my questions and I really felt comfortable and happy to talk with him because he was a good man with the children and he had a lot of patience, he understand what a kid needed and that are curios with all the things so he show me his prosthesis and explained me all the parts and at the end he told my parents that the interview was over and my mom asked for the exams and he said to my mom that I was accepted in the school and that he will be glad to have me in the school and the part he liked the most was that I was a child without fear of asking, knowing and experimenting new things. I will never forget that experience because that taught me that be curious about new things is good but now that I am older I have to be more aware about how I say things and to whom I tell that things and that if it is the right time to say it  adn the rigth thing to say. Experiences will teach us new things that will affect our lives in a good way most of the times, so let things happen and try to see the good part of every experience and if you act like that you will become more mature with the time.
