I am a cotholic dude and since I was a little kid I thought that the weather is how God’s mod is. So if the day shine anda ll the birds were singing i thought God is very happy hegive to me this awsome day and I have to do good things, like helpings others wash the dishes, be kind with my mom andi t reaally Works I was very kind when the day was beutyful and in the afternoon before school my brother and I lay on the ground in the park and we start to see the clouds and we try to figure out what was the formo f the cloud, I was relly impressed how we used our imagination we saw guys playing, a soccer ball, a dragon that we saw in a movie a night before. I mean we saw a plenty of things that you can imagine then we play soccer with the friends, or we used to play “escondidas” that is to hide and one of intengrants that is playing  have to count down and he or she has to look for us. We were playing and everything because the day was with a sun that Light everything and we can see better. But when the day was color gray in the morning everything was sad we couldont go outsider because it was raing and my Mathers always say “you c ago out because is going to rain and you are going to be sick, and i want take care of you” and were are like “ok, mom i won’t go out” and w estay in the house doing homeworks or playing Nintendo 64 until my mom says:” guys is late tomorrow you have school”. And when a storm was coming with really noisy Thunder first I was very afraid but I tought dude God is very angry. And it is funny because now that I am growing up my science teacher told us that the thunders start because the clouds have energy some of them are positive and some of them are negative so when one positive and one negative crush the Thunder generates an electric shock with a lot of power that can kill somebody that is near. Going back also when it rain, this one was very funny, i thought that god was in the bathroom doing pipi or taking a shower and i remember that one night it was raining very hard and was afraid so I went to my parents room and was like “mom” I am very scared and my mother was like “ooh sweat hard why?’ and i tell her god is urinating with a lot of eager. And my parents just laugh so my mom hug me and the next day that I wake up it was beutyful and shine day all the flowers were with a relly intensive color and I think that God do this for make all the flowers ve more beutyful, but as same as the thunders when I start to grow up the raind wasn’t because god was doing pipi or taking a shower was because the water evaporetes and form the cloud when the clouds are full they relese in liquid and every drop that falls down together form the tipical phrase “it is raining”. Sometimos the days can mean a lot for us i think that can control our emotions andi s true because if it is going to rain you fell sleep or you stay in the house watching movies etcetera. I mean the weather can estimulate your emotions and i think that everything is phychological  since we are kids in school tehy teach us that gray andblack are dark colors, in the movies of magic the dark is for the witch the bad one and when is a beutyful thing everything shines and stuffs like that. 

changing place...

  I was 11 years old and I was very happy because school was finish. I mean study since January and finish it in October was what 8 months of studying hard and was even better because I did not have to study in November for replace classes , so I remember so well I enter to my house and my mother was layed in her bed she told ´´guy´s can you come here,please´´ and we enter to her room and she told how was our last day school and we were like well was normal, someones crying  photos here photos there a typical last day . so then she told us that she is going to gave us a surprise and the surprise was… moving 3 months to Los Angeles were my grandmother lives  with her husband my first impression was like yeah! I am going to enjoy so much no homeworks no essays no anything I am going to every park and a brain storm came to me until my mother told but you are going to study and everything was like pum! Game over I was shocking 3 months in LA without my friends without developing a good English my English was not fluent I was learning it so it was not like the best thing in the world go to learn to another country but my mom was insisting me Marco you will learn a lot be calm and that night of the notice that I am going to study to another country was passed. A week later I was very happy to see my grandmother and to meet my new grandfather but I was very nervous because my first day of school was the next day. I did not find cool of my trip was the fact of being kind of discriminating in order to study in this schools they have to be sure you do not have some virus or infection so my grandmother take us to the hospital and I had every vaccine in my data card that I really had my vaccine in order but they did not were sure at all so they  put me againg all the vaccine at the last I remember that was the worstest and a tear was falling down from my face. So that day was mostly in the hospital was not what I dreamed since my mom gave the news. Now the next was really my official first day of studying I enter to my class and everybody saw me like wow! He is the new one. And my professor told me to present to my  new class and mr. Dieguez grab me a book to read and I have to read out loud for see how was my English and etcetera. Then the food I sit in a table and I did not know where everybody were giving me the back. I was in that awkard moment when you just wait for someone to save you and my think become true a girl told me hey! Marco come on sit with us, and she was very kind she ask me how was Guatemala, and I start to tell her and all of the people how was my country. When the days start to pass out neighbors invite to play and they were way much different play we used to play In Guatemala but what I see was even though we were from different country  they open the doors and they show us how play and stuff like that. The trip was cool at the time and it became more cool when I went to parks. Six flags was incredible all the rollercoaster’s and also I went to  knots berry farm  in hallowen and it was a hole new experience. In USA  celebrate Halloween and it is kind of important in Guatemala it is kind of boring that day . so I compare how different was a country from another and the experiences were very good I mean was a important step in my life I was without parents that wake me up in the mornings and this move change my life I became much independent and more unwrapped like more fluent in my English. After spending all of this I realize that my mom was right, yhis experience change my life in a good wy and I am glad to pass the experience and know I am very thankful with my mom…

an important person.

An importante pearson.

I want to start how dooes everything start, I was new in my  school so i dont know anyone just a girl but she was yonger so we do not share the same recces. I entered as the the fresh guy like nothing it was happening, and then one of the guys start to not interrogaing me but he was asking me question like: “hey waddup!” , “how old are you?”, “do you like soccer?” and stuff like that he was very gently because he open the doors for me to know more people in the school it was not that i was shiny it was only the fact that I was new in the shool and when you enter to a new school everybody looks at you and ask “hey who is he?” because they had never see you in their lives and you either so this guy really help me a lot he was the first one to talk me but by passing the time i start to interatuate with other guys so I start to leave him. So then I was in the store buying so food because  i was hungry and that they I do not why but my father gave me 20 quetzales, so I use it. I remember that i was asking for a sandwich and I had to wait, many students were doing the line and jocking but one of them told me “so you are chea, right?” and i was like “yes, and yours?” and he told me “Rodrigo” and I was ok nice to meet you men and tell me what sport do you like the most and he told me that he likes sports but he prefer dancing! And i was like really men? You look like a “macho men” and you are telling me that you like to dance that was cool because in my all  life i never meet a guy who likes to dance! I just know my brother and me and back then any one! So I was kind of surprised because we had one thing in common that I never hear from another guy. So he present me to his group and it was just girls and i was like! Yeah! This is havven! They were very happy, they laugh for almost every hing and that was very funny because they traspass me their happiness. Rodrigo was in the same section with me and we start to see that we had a lot of things in common and we strat to talk and I realice that this guy was very spiritual something that you do not find in this days and as soon as we start to passing the years in the school in every year and now since 8th grade to 11th grade (that is the grade I am right know) we were always in th same section so we became really good friends sometimes when we need something we talk about it and we give advices to each other. And he is a relly good man, for many a friend, and for me brother! I always told him that he is my brother from another mother, and we make a lot of jocks of that. Rodrigo is for me one of the omportant pearson in my world he is a very funny guy, intelligent, and a really loyal friend he is leader and a example for me because both are almost the same age he is older than me but since I notice he is very loyal to everybody you can tell him everything and he can help you even do he is passing thouh a lot of things. He phisically look like “hey beawere, I can make you a can just by looking” and he have this grave voice that sometimes is loud and you can be a little intemidaing but when you start to know him he is just like a kid and at the same time a gentelman he search the way to help you in what he can and he is a man that sees more than the horizon he do his best in everything and he had became my friend, my friend of life, the man that I can share everything and he returns me with a thank you and I gift. Sometimes I learn of him and he learn from me  we are very good friends and I am very thankful for having his friendship.

childhood...

When i was 7 years old i gues my grandmother for me was everything she help in my homeworks , we study for quizes, and making a little memory we make a presentation about my mom’s work. Talking about mama she was a woman who always destacate in everything mostly in the work, because of that she stayed most of the time working and we did not have Money to pay me a nanny and take care of me so my grand mother was the super girl she mantain always the house very clean. She make this Chicken with coca cola and it tasted  so good, was mny favorite plate. She tought me how to sit in the table, to say hit o every person that I see walking i have to be respectful and say “hi” or “good afternoon sr.” Even dow I do not know how was the person. My grandmother teach me a lot of things since I remember to be a good brother because she was the oldest of 6 brothers and sister in her family and she tell me that, since we are the older ones they depend of us even if they do not admit they always need support of us so she told me that always hear my brother always try to belive every thing that he is tell me because it can be harmful to start a fight just becaose i do no t belive my brother. Also she was a sport’s lover so she always mantain us busy she find out this Academy of baseball and she put and we start to play baseball and she support in everything th ewe start to live the baseball and my father wanted to teach us so we became great swimmers and i think that my grand mother open the gates of my extrem Sports because she start with the idea of making Sports and she just support, she prepared our things and so on but when we start to grow up and for chiristmas she gave me my first Rollers and because of that everything that have wheels is for me my brother and i became Experts in the colony we lived we jump stairs and we grind some little tubes, and then my parents gave me my first skate board, I did not have an idea of how to use it so my grand ma grab me and push me and she told me just maintan the balance and that push! A simple push just makes me fall in love with it…. An smile just came trough my face and  my grand ma was just screaming “yes! Tono you did it” “yes” and i was very happy but to see that smile in my grandma’s face was just unforgettable. Days later she was in the hospital, the doctors detected diabetes and she was debastated beacause she also had problems in one vein of the heart. So i start to think if i can became a doctor i can save her life and I told her that: “grand ma im going to be a doctor to save your  life” and I remember that she just see with crying eyes and she told me “never back down my son, you are goig to make it”. That little phases is the one who encourege me to go ahead, i was very frusted at that age i think it was like eight or nine when this happend back then she exit the hospital and know on she is doing great, but she just change my life. I really admire her becuase she had been passing through a lot of things, but was is more important she open me the gate of what i am in love right now that is the World of the longboard, surf, and skateboard and everything of my grandmother that help me that gave me that push in my long board and now I am practicing surf and I want to compete the next year for the latinoamercans surf competition. My grand mother means a lot for me she gave me a great mother and i am very thankfull because she made me.
