Few years ago I had to move to London. This experience was hard for me because I didn't know much english and when I got there I didn't know anyone so I had to adapt to having different friends and being in a different enviroment. At first I was really scared to go because I was very shy and it was difficult for me to make friends. But in the end everything was fine and I ended up making lots of friends. This taught me that even when things seem hard you just need to be confident and you need to know that if you work hard you can face any situation that comes across.

6 years ago my father was diagnosticated with cancer. When we first knew it, my mother, my sister and I were very scared, except my dad. My dad showed me how calmed and relaxed he was by telling me that everything was gonna be alright and that he wasn't gonna go anywhere, that he was gonna stay with us. His immense strength made me recompose myself and made me encourage him day by day so that all that would end quickly. I spent the worst 2 years of my life. Now my father is better than ever completely cured. Thanks to his positivity through all his disease I´ve learned that we should choose to be happy or depressed in difficult times, and I always choose to be happy and positive thanks to him.

MY STRUGGLE

Last year I changed schools and I was scared, but not because I wasn't going to make friends (I already knew people who went to my new school), I was scared of loosing my old friends. I changed from an English education system to a Spanish one and I had to study a lot. Due to this, I didn't had time for myself and anyone. Suddenly one day I saw my old friends and anything was the same as before. They didn't even talk to me. I couldn't understand what was going on. I tried to talk to them but they like blocked me out. This made me think and help me understand that it's not worth worrying for this type of people. And I thank this happened because it showed me how they were.

When I was only five years old, I lost a very close relative. In spite of the fact that I was very little, I remember the day when my family explained me what happened as it was yesterday. And, I am not going to lie, this incident was very tough for my whole family and marked a before and after in our lives. Anyway, it made me stronger, it made me appreciate more the things we already have and I learnt to adapt myself to hard circumnstances. I sometimes ask myself how would I be if nothing have happened and I realise I would be very different. I dare say that I would be a worse person than I am nowadays. I can't say this experience was worth it because it wasn't, but it has helped me a lot.

Losing a closest friend is never easy. When I was 9 years old, my best friend, Xavier, was diagnosed with leukemia and when he told me the bad news, I knew our lives would change. He moved to the hospital to receive the needed treatment, but, unluckily, the illness was so developed that neither chemotherapy was helping to cure my friend. Doctors did their best and tried different techniques and treatments in order to destroy all the damaged cells that were killing my friend, but they couldn't do anything. I went to the Hospital every single day to not to leave my friend alone, we were like two peas in a pod. Finally, two months later, the worst moment in my life arrived: leukemia took my friend.
That day I noticed that the best homage to my friend was becoming a Doctor in order to help people with leukemia. Nowadays, I'm still thinking the same way. In fact, I'm studying really hard to have the mark I need to get into the Medicine faculty.

Was that last year, when my parents wanted to take my sister to a school in England because they said she should improve her English. For my sister and for me it was a great disgust because she and I have always been super close and we did not like the idea of ​​being a whole year without the company of the other. There was no way to convince my parents and at the end of the summer she left, and I could not believe it. The days passed and my face only reflected sadness, but with time I realized that my life did not depend on her, I missed her without a doubt, but I had to continue being myself and continue with my life.

Three years ago, in summer I lost the three grandparents I had known. I was specially united to my grandmother and I had lived with her for some time so her dead really hit me hard. I had a really hard time overcoming their deaths, however, the rest of my family came together and now we are closer than ever so even though it was a though time for all of us, it ended up being an opportunity for us to come closer.

There was a time this year where I had so much exams and work to do that I was constantly in a bad mood and severly stressed. One day I started to think if I was living every day to the fullest and my answer was no. Of course I have to get good grades but I've learned that it is not worth having a bad time because of that. Managing stress can be quite overwhelming at first but once you learn how to control your nerves, you'll always be happy!

I think that one of my biggest struggles is math’s. This subject produces me real anxiety and suffering. I’ve been dealing with this subject throw my whole school stage. When I came back from England, I was totally lost on this subject, and to be honest the school did not help at all. It’s probably one of the subjects which I study the most, and is really frustrating to see yourself failing over and over again. At first, it was horrible and I didn’t know what to do, many times I wanted to give up, however I still fighting until today. Nevertheless, every time I have a math exam I am very nervous and they really scare me. I am looking forward to not have this subject any more. However, thanks to this I’ve learned to not give up and to have a rhythm of study that many people don’t have.

This year has been very stressful because of familiar reasons and because of pressure. Specifically, I have to struggle with myself, as I had to make exams without nervous and being concentrated at the same time and was not actually an easy task. So, I had to start learning how to control my emotions, try to relax and do not be nervous. However it has given me a lesson this year: if you struggle for something and you learn to control your emotions it  would be make up for all your efforts.

Two years ago I went to Ireland on my own to improve my English. I did not want to go at all because I thought I was going to have a bad time, but my father kind of convinced me. When I got there I felt very lonely because in the house I was staying in there was just a woman (who was hardy ever at home) and his dog. It is true that in the beginning I had a tough time but having to be alone in the house helped me to be more independent. Going there by myself also helped me to be more open as I was forced to talk to people. I ended up making lots of friends and although the time with the woman in the house was not specially good I do not regret any of the whole experience. Thanks to this the following year I was able to go to the US by myself and be a lot more confident that I would have been if I had not had this experience.

About three years ago, in Grade 10 I arrived to Spain from Singapore, where I studied completely different things and where everything was extremely different from here. I was new in a school where they were getting their IGCSEs all done with two years of previous preparation, but I knew nothing.
The Semester came by and it did not matter how hard I studied I had failed most of my courses. Everyone thought I was dumb, even the teachers, and there was a particular one, the one that tought ICT that said that all teachers talked about me in the coffee room to say that I would never pass their subjects. At first I felt useless, but I didn't like him and he didn't like me, so I knew that what he had done was to tear me down, and he eventually did, but I was stronger than that and thanks to his words I realised my true potential, I passed most of my final exams to prove him wrong.

The first day of class I was a bit nervous, cause leaving aside my exchange family, I did not know anyone, and I was also a bit lost. The funny fact of that first day is that I arrived late to my first class, so as soon as I entered in the class, everyne looked at me at the same time, which in someway was a bit strange. But that first day I also met a lot new people who became really good frineds of mine.

Before last year I used to think that grades were really important, that I had to succeed in every subject at school and even stand out in class. Due to the amount of pressure I put on myself I started struggling with anxiety. I was told it was not rare to go through that at least once in life, but it was still unpleasant and, most of all, scary. Even though it is not an experience I would like to repeat, it has taught me that physical and mental health are much more important than getting the highest score in an exam. What's more, I learnt that, as long as I work hard and achieve my goals, whether I do everything perfect or not is irrelevant.

Two years ago I wanted to go during the summer to a camp in Canada in order to learn English. My parents were too scared to leave me go and they signed up me in a camp in Spain. I wasn’t happy with that decision and the first weeks were boring, I thought that I was losing my summer and that made me feel very angry. The only good thing there was the people! After 3 weeks and a half I came back to home with the same opinion but with a lot of new friends. Now a days I think I would only go back to that camp to meet with them!

I  discover that not everything is easy in life, I discover hard work is always recompesate and that we do not have to give up.

A few years ago, I had a few subjects in the school specifically that I was doing very badly and I never got ahead (I always failed) , one day I realized that the reason why I did not achieve my goals was because I did not try hard enough. So I decided to look for a solution. I started to try harder in a series of things, and when I needed it, I asked for help. In the end I got my goal and now I'm better. It cost me effort, but in the end the reward of reaching my goal was better.

During these last years our results in the championship were not as expected and we were continuously in a bad position. At the beginning of this season we set out and made a good effort to get some good results in this year's league. Our work, friendship, teamwork, perseverance is helping us achieve the goal. There are still some days to finish the league and we are in fourth position.

Since the day I was born, I've always tried to accomplish whatever was in my mind, in order to prove to people what I'm capable to do. Although fulfilling this feeling has not always been possible, during the process of completion of my goal, I've learned that throughout the journey, there are also mini goals which can make you happy. Thus, I've tried to switch the feeling of struggle, which always takes place during the path, for a feeling of acknowledgement of how fruitful can be the process.
