It happened to me

Last week my cousin Norma invited me to go to the cinema to see the movie “Planet of the Apes” with my nephews, that day we arrived at the shopping center and we entertained ourselves looking at sports shoes, so when we realized it was just the time to buy entry tickets, popcorn and drinks. We were against time to see the movie from the beginning, that's when we ran and when entering the show room my cousin tripped and threw away the drinks, so there were few left and we had to share, the show started and everything was going well, until there were some scary effects in the movie and she jumped and dropped the popcorn, my God, so many things happened to us that day.

Since then we always bother my cousin to go to the movies again, but without spoiling anything, otherwise she goes, but without carrying anything in her hands, because she spoils everything.

Once with the family we had a dinner to give thanks for another member of the family, which was my nephew who is now a young teenager, and we played soccer with him. He loves motorcycles and he goes out on Sundays to ride with his friends. We used to walk our dog with him, we did this every afternoon, I also have another story about which was with my parents, who we went out for a walk once a month. which we like to go to wooded places and parks to be able to walk and exercise a little. We once had an experience with them in which we got lost along the way. Since it was already late and it was the first time we went to that place, it was a very nice experience since I shared more time with them that day and my siblings and brother are worried about us since we forgot to tell them.

Hello dear reader.

It is an honor for me to tell you a brief story about my personal life, I hope you like to know something about me.

At 12 years old, my parents could no longer continue to study me due to financial resources. Thank God they managed to give me the beginning and end of primary school. I thought I would never get to where I am now. Thank God for the opportunity and to the unconditional support of my older sister, who gave me my studies until I graduated, during that time I had to start working, I started cleaning in private homes, selling lunches from home with my mother and sister to be able to earn income that could be used for copies , some basic supplies and some other spare parts. My parents sometimes supported me in the end it was an effort by everyone!!!

Thank God I currently work where I did my internship, they hired me a few days after finishing it, but a few months after graduating my father passed away, it was a very difficult time because I was starting to work and I wanted to support him because of the situation he was in. But it was no longer possible, now I do everything possible to take care of my mother and give her what she needs. We have traveled when the opportunity presented itself with my younger sister, my mother and other times my brother. They have been very happy, fun and unforgettable moments.

I achieved one more goal to close my university curriculum and I am currently studying a master's degree, hoping first to God that I will graduate and continue succeeding professionally.

Thank you for taking the time to read my short story, I hope you liked it.

kind regards

One summer night, when I was fifteen years old, I decided to go for a walk in the woods near my house. The full moon illuminated the path, creating dancing shadows among the trees. As I was walking, I heard a strange noise behind some bushes. My heart started to beat faster, but curiosity got the better of me than fear. I approached slowly and carefully moved the branches away.

To my surprise, I found a small, badly injured dog. His beady eyes looked at me with a mixture of fear and pain. Without thinking, I took out my water bottle and gave him a drink. The little dog drank eagerly and then, as if he knew that he wanted to help him, he let himself be carried. I took him home and, with my mother's help, we cleaned and dressed his wound.

Over the next few weeks, I cared for the little dog until he fully recovered. One morning, I went out with the little dog back to the forest. When we reached the depths he stopped for a moment, looked at me and then disappeared into the trees. Although I never saw him again, that experience taught me the value of compassion and the impact a small act of kindness can have.

When I was a girl and I saw that my mother took care of me and taught me with love, I said that when I was a mother I wanted to be like her.
When I was 27 years old I had the opportunity to feel that beautiful moment of experiencing being a mother.
It is a path of many experiences, where the waiting room becomes a blind date with the love of your life, where an inexplicable love for your child grows.
The truth is, being a mother is something so beautiful and magical that now that I am in this parenting process, I learn more about them every day.

Being a mother, there is no manual where they give you instructions, but rather you learn new things every day, unique moments that characterize you with your child.

I love being a mother, I feel lucky to have my son, I love him and it is a beautiful love that you feel from day one.

Two years ago, I wanted to take a trip to the department of Solola, I wanted to witness how beautiful Lake Atitlán is and see how great the Mayan culture and history is. A year ago I had the opportunity to travel and I had the opportunity to learn about the lake and the surrounding towns and the different traditions and cultures they have and their gastronomy. The trip was very nice and I know that I was given the opportunity to see different viewpoints that the same department has, it was fun and a unique and incredible experience.

I would like to repeat that experience again since it is a wonderful experience and share it with my family even more.

lost glasses

Last year my family decided to go to the Xela fair. They called me to invite me and I went. We went to eat delicious bread from the Xelapan bakery. We went for a walk with my friends, we went to the amusement rides and we were able to buy candy and souvenirs for those who stayed at home. They were very exciting and fun days. When we were returning home, there were many viewpoints along the road and we decided to stop by one to take pictures. I wanted to take a lot of photos and put my wallet aside. We left there and went to eat at a restaurant in Tecpan, when I wanted to pay, I realized that I didn't have my wallet with me; We were already very far from the place and I decided not to go hunting for it, I was frustrated and sad to lose my glasses that I had just bought for visa fees.

Ana and I are bright girls who have been friends since we were very little. Our families were neighbors and we played dolls together and even went to school together. Although we were very close, we lost communication when we both grew up and went to study in different parts of the country. Many years later we met by chance on social networks. We send request

immediately and after a few minutes we made a video call.

We discovered that we had followed similar paths. We continue to communicate frequently, she continued studying at another university, got married and has two children and then went to live in the USA.

Ana and I discovered that we are always good childhood friends.

I used to run every Sunday but lately studying has made it difficult for me to do so. When I was able to go out I liked to run 10 or 12 kilometers and I did it in an hour. I consider it to be a good pace at my age. I do it for health and for stress. Work and university stress me out but it is an advantage and blessing to be able to do it. My goal is to graduate next year so I can dedicate more time to my family. My daughters always tell me that I spend a lot of time studying and that I give them the time they need. My oldest daughter is 10 years old and the youngest is 6. , two princesses who need a lot of time from me. But I'm happy because I'm about to finish my degree.

something scary:

Losing the great love of my life in 2018.

It was for Holy Week, my husband went to Tecun Man with my son on Holy Monday, on Thursday they came for the concert in Puerto de San Jose. On the way, they inserted the truck where he was coming through Tiquisate and they diverted him through Chipol, that was On April 13, where our lives changed from one day to the next, we looked for it in hospitals, in morgues, in the police, until the 28th when it appeared on the news where they found two corpses and mentioned my husband. It was shocking and scary news. , where we had the hope that he would appear alive, not in the circumstances of a morgue.

For me it was shocking to go to recognize him and face this pain with my children that from one day to the next our lives changed and to date it has been difficult to see his loss in that one trip we never saw him again, but he lives in our heart.

The Police told me that they would investigate and they would suspect an assault where they tried to steal the panel and that he opposed it, which is why they had killed him and his assistant.

As a mother, I have to guide my children to cry, laugh, accept, so that they are not filled with hate and prepare them to remember him with affection, love and as the best dad.

When I was a teenager, I wanted to take a trip to see Petén and see how great our Mayan culture and history is. When I was 20 years old, I traveled and had the opportunity to get to know Petén and its culture, its gastronomy and the green areas it has. The trip was exhausting since it was more than 10 hours on the road but fun at the same time. I saw the pyramids, jaguars and free animals. It was a unique experience that happened to me to be able to travel and learn about our culture.

For me it was magnificent to have traveled alone. Wonderful things happened to me on that trip that I remember very well.

We decided to go on vacation with my wife and children, we had planned a vacation in some hostels on the south coast of Guatemala for 3 days.

We were able to enjoy our stay at the hostel, we swam in the pools, we went on the amusement rides, we enjoyed the beach, we had a great time those days, on the way back home it was raining heavily, and the road was in very bad condition and They punctured 2 tires on the car, we were left in the middle of the rain and the road desolated by the heavy rains was something terrifying, fortunately a passing patrol gave us help, they took the 2 wheels to the workshop and so we could continue our trip back home.

During the summer vacations, my cousin Pablo and I used to enjoy exploring our grandparents' house. One day, while rummaging through the old boxes, we stumbled upon a box full of antique toys. Curiosity got the best of us, and we decided to take one out to play a quick game. However, before we could even move the first pieces, my grandfather appeared with a stern expression. He scolded us for touching his things without permission, took the game away, and locked it up.

Over the years, my grandfather gave us the opportunity to see the toys again and gifted them to us so we could play with them. They were objects he cherished dearly with much love and significance.

My dream was always to be a professional footballer.

When l was a child my only toy was always a soccer ball.

We met with all the neighborhood children to warch soccer

games on TV at the grandfather's house of one of them.

We lived in a poor neighborhood and only one man had a TV

so we could watch our sport. While the adults carried out household

activities on weekends we always watched soccer and practiced it.

The years of my childhood were difficult but the were the best years since

we learned value and loving what really costs in life.

Families always supporting their children and beleiving that one day

we would realize our dreams.

For me they will always be my best years of life..

When I was a child we used to travel on holidays.

We went to the beach in 2010.

That year I was practicing surfing while finishing the summer.

I had always watched videos about surfing but I had never practiced it until 2010.

I had been talking with my cousins about that for weeks and they gave me some advices.

My sister took me many photos with my surfboard.

On my first surfing lesson I was very nervous and I was falling into the water some times.

My family had never seen me surfing because I couldn't swim but I learned it quickly.

While I enjoyed surfing my family was swimming in the beautiful pool.

I remember this vacation as the best.
