the experience that marked my life, was when an old friend betrayed me, stabbed me in the back, just for an insignificant man, I liked a boy in the past, I liked him for a long time and I heard rumors that the boy liked me, I told that friend everything about my feelings towards that person, and she bothered me with that person, after a while that friend began to distance herself and I noticed that she was very close to the boy I liked, after a while I heard rumors that she was in a relationship with the boy, and it was the pure truth, she was with the boy, other friends asked her why she had done that to me and she simply told him "I don't know", with that past friendship, we were very close, we uploaded each other to instagram, we had many photos, I helped her overcome relationships that hurt her a lot, I cried in her face of that friend telling her to leave him to stop suffering , even so she didn't mind saying that to me, even so it is something that left its mark on me, at present they are still together, and they are my companions.

One of the happiest experiences I’ve ever had was learning how to ride a bike. It happened when I was about seven years old. My dad was with me the whole time, teaching me patiently. At first, I felt really nervous because I thought I was going to fall. He held the back of the seat and told me, “Keep your balance and look forward.”

Little by little, I started to feel more confident. I fell a few times, but my dad always helped me get up and try again. After several tries, I finally rode the bike by myself for the first time! I couldn’t believe it — I had done it! My dad smiled proudly and clapped his hands.

Since that day, I have never forgotten that feeling of freedom and happiness. It was one of those moments that has stayed in my heart forever.

Hello my name is ruth barba

Something fantastic that has happened in my life

I don’t usually go out much, but something fantastic has happened to me.
I have also learned that hard work always brings good results.
Even though I don’t go out a lot, I have enjoyed special moments at home.
For example, I have spent great times with my family watching movies.
We have laughed and shared many good memories together.
That experience made me realize that fantastic things can happen anywhere.
I will always remember it as one of the best moments of my life.

On December 14, 2024, it was a very important date for me because it was the day of my graduation from my pastry institute. That day I was accompanied by my parents, my brother, and my uncles.

I felt very nervous, happy, and a little anxious because my father arrived a little late, and I had to walk with him. I remember that at the moment I entered with my dad, I was so nervous, but at the same time, I was very happy because I had achieved something I had wanted for a long time.

I also felt a little sad because I knew I was not going to return to that place anymore, nor see my friends every day. I had already made many friends at my institute, and it had practically become my safe place. That made me feel nostalgic.

Even so, I had an amazing day. Although I was not with the friends with whom I started this journey, thanks to God I had other friends who were there for me, and we had a wonderful time together with lots of laughter.

I still remember the moment when they gave me my certificate, it made me feel so happy and proud. And one of the things I will always remember is when they said: “Class of 2024.” It felt so good to hear that and to know that I had achieved one of my goals.

One of my funniest experiences or moments has been with my friends. We always take the initiative to go out, and about a few months ago, we went to a mall to eat and play. While we were eating, one of my friends spilled all his soda, and the tablecloth and floor got wet. The thing is, my friend got wet too. We were embarrassed because we made a mess. Some people around us started looking, and that made us even more nervous. To top it all off, after that, my friend suggested we change tables. We moved quickly because we didn’t want more attention. After that, my other friend spilled all his salsa on the tablecloth. The table looked terrible, and we couldn’t stop laughing. We literally made a mess. It was funny and embarrassing for us at the same time.

My experience was having entered the pre-military, although it was somewhat challenging the first few days. It was something new for me, and they taught me a little about military life.

I entered the pre-military as a very shy and reserved person. Upon arriving for the first few days, we were immediately subjected to strict discipline, where we were taught the basics of our multicam, how to address higher authority, and how to apply what we had learned.

The daily routine included physical activities, such as running with chants to encourage us, how to overcome obstacles, marches, jogging, and long periods of sun exposure.

I was also taught vital skills such as first aid, self-defense, and close and open order, among other things.

The experience ended all too quickly, and the moment we graduated and were discharged was unexpectedly sad for some of my comrades. Although I miss going to training, talking with my friends and comrades, as we shared every penalty together, laughed together, got angry, and so on. I joined the pre-military program to gain knowledge and experience of military life.

Last year I had one of the happiest experiences of my life.

I went to Espejito with my family during the summer holidays.

We left very early in the morning, and the trip was very exciting.

It was sunny, and the weather was perfect for swimming.

I played volleyball on the sand with my cousins, and we laughed a lot.

Later, we went swimming in the river; the water was warm and relaxing.

My parents prepared a delicious cake, and we ate it under a large parasol.

I took many photos of the water and the sunset.

That day I felt free, happy, and full of energy.

It was a moment I will never forget.

Since then, I have often thought about that trip.

I also showed the photos to my friends, and they said they looked amazing.

I always think that it was one of the best family trips we have ever taken.

Of the few experiences my mind could retain, I believe I can describe that day.

At the age of 5 when I was living in Argentina at that time.

We lived in a rented room—my mom, my dad, and I at that time. My mom worked at a supermarket where she was given a position in the fruits and vegetables section, and in that way, she supported the household. My dad, on the other hand, worked as a welder if I'm not mistaken, but he had a problem: he was an alcoholic (I hope he has quit by now).

My dad and my mom always left for work very early. I don't remember what time they came back, but whenever I opened the window, the sky was already dark. My father always used to return home late, and my mom and I wouldn't go to sleep until he was home.Now yes. That day my parents went out to work; before that, my mom, as always, would wake up earlier to prepare breakfast and eat at the table as a family, always thanking God for the food beforehand.

From there they left, and well, I was left alone like every time they went away. I wasn't one to play with the children of the other tenants; I remember I had many toys and recalled my father telling me: "Take care of them, when I return I want to see the toys complete." This way, I played alone in the only room where the three of us slept. And when I got bored, I would count them before putting them away and turned on the TV to watch the cartoons that were on. I would lie in bed and do nothing else.

Hours passed and my parents didn't arrive, and I kept watching TV.

At that time, I was also allergic to coughing; I couldn't stop coughing and had certain tablets to take daily. But since I was 5 years old, I wasn't worried, even though it was uncomfortable.

Hours continued to pass, I was scared, I didn't want to, and I didn't leave the room.

I remember that my chest and throat started to hurt because of the harsh and constant coughing I had.

My mom always rubbed my body with menthol ointment, but that day it wasn't there, so without knowing how, I put the menthol ointment on myself. My eyes were getting tired from watching too much TV, but I held on because I always looked forward to the time when the episode of the anime Super Champions would come out, which always entertained me.

Having not eaten anything since breakfast and feeling hungry, I ate some cookies that were on the table. It was getting later, my tired eyes, with hunger and that cough that was hurting me. I was just waiting for my father to return as soon as possible, and here I am still waiting for you.

Until then, it was already night when someone knocked on the door, and without hesitation, I excitedly thought it was my father. I wondered why he didn't just come in, and it became confusing. When I opened the door, I saw it wasn't him; it was one of the ladies who rented there too, who had two children about my age, possibly. She asked me if I had eaten anything and then inquired about my parents. I replied: no, they haven't arrived yet, and I haven't eaten anything except for some cookies.

In that way, the lady kindly invited me to sit at her table and share what she had prepared. At that moment, I remember feeling scared, but I do not forget that beautiful gesture and smile from the lady and the dish she shared with me. I remember it was long noodles accompanied by a delicious broth or noodle (my favorite dish since that day). Moved and hungry, I sat down to eat; I was scared and uncomfortable because next to me were the lady's children, to whom I didn't like lending my toys, but they treated me very well.

I finished eating, I remember having cried and with much sorrow and my head bowed, I thanked the lady and her children and returned to my room, but at least happy to have eaten. I kept watching TV, it got later until finally it was worth the wait, my parents arrived, both together, healthy, perhaps tired from a lot of work but with a smile on their faces. I jumped out of bed and ran to hug them through tears. Finally, what I remember from that day is that we left the room and went to the window that had a view of the sky and I remember they asked me to bring a lighter.

I carried it with me, and in his arms, my father had a balloon or something like that; I don't know what the object was called, but he started to assemble it. When he finished, I approached him with the lighter in hand. I asked my mother to hold the balloon, then my father asked me to light a certain part of the balloon with the lighter so that he could lift me in his arms. From there, my mother handed me the balloon, and with a bit of fear and nerves, my father told me to let go of the balloon, and it began to float and drift away. Suddenly, looking at the balloon floating in the sky, many others appeared. After that, I don't remember what else happened. I think it was a space dream. But there is no other memory or experience happier than the one I lived that day. Because until that day, I was with the two people I love the most in the world. And to this day, I am still waiting for you, Dad.

December 31,2012 .

One of the happiest experiences I had was my birthday party last year.

It happened in March at my house.

My parents organized everything and invited my close friends.

There were balloons, music, and a big chocolate cake.

We played games in the garden and everyone was laughing a lot.

My best friend gave me a special gift, a book that I really wanted.

We also danced to our favorite songs until late at night.

My little brother was trying to dance too, and it was very funny.

All my friends took many pictures to remember that day.

I felt very loved and thankful because everyone was there for me.

It was a simple party, but it made me very happy.

I will never forget that wonderful day with my family and friends.

One of my favorite experiences is when I turned sixteen on February 6th, 2024.

My mom had prepared delicious desserts for that special day.

My dad had bought a beautiful cake.

My older sister helped a lot with the decoration.

My brother gave me a lovely bouquet of roses.

My family organized a surprise birthday party for me.

That morning I went to school, and it felt like a normal day.

When I arrived home from school, I saw the house decorated.

I noticed the desserts and the cake on the table.

I was really surprised because I thought they had forgotten my birthday.

My parents came close to me while I cried with emotion.

They hugged me and told me some beautiful words.

My siblings also hugged me and shared sweet words.

That day was very emotional and unforgettable for me.

After the party at home, we went to the cinema together.

We watched a movie that my family and I really enjoyed.

Later, we went to have dinner at one of my favorite restaurants.

Since that day, I have remembered every detail with joy.

I have told this story many times to my friends.

It has been one of the most special birthdays of my life.

Well, a happy experience in my life would be to remember when my family and I went on vacation to visit my uncles and grandparents, relatives of my mom and dad, who had a tradition of going to visit them once a year in the month of December, almost close to the New Year.

I had a great time with my cousins from the countryside and learned a lot of fun things from them.

And when we were in the city, we would visit different places such as Lake Titicaca, Copacabana, the Island of the Moon and the Sun, and at noon we would have lunch with some delicious crispy local fish.

At the end of the afternoon before returning to the city of La Paz, my dad and mom always stopped by an anniversary party in a small town that reminded them of their childhood and it was a tradition to dance the anniversary dance, to end the day already arriving at the house located in La Paz del Alto, where today is an event hall called: Luz de las rosas, which little by little we are making a profit, my cousin Fabiola is in charge of managing the entire place and my cousin Juan, who are the brothers of my older cousin Andrés Huisa, who currently lives in Santa Cruz with my dad and mom.

On New Year's, acquaintances and friends of my mom and dad come to celebrate at the place and my cousins take a 2-week break. I have a great time with my cousins even though they are in college and are older than my brothers and I, but from time to time we take some time to have fun as a family with cousins.

​My journey into the Pre-Military was a profound and challenging experience, teaching me lessons few others will ever learn.
​I entered the program as a very shy and reserved person, which was quickly confronted by the demanding training environment.
​Upon arrival, we were immediately subjected to harsh discipline and told we were "useless," pushing us to adapt quickly.
​The daily routine involved relentless physical activities, including running, countless push-ups, and long periods of sun exposure.
​We rotated through various exercises, enduring challenging tasks like marching for extended times and even moving like "ducklings" as punishment.
​The curriculum included vital skills like First Aid, self-defense, and advanced survival techniques.
​We learned how to build shelters and find edible food in the wild using only materials we could source from the jungle or the field.
​During the encampment phase, we had to eat on the floor and construct our own field bathrooms, demonstrating true self-sufficiency.
​A key moment was the extended training where we practiced First Aid scenarios and explained the process of creating functional camps from scratch.
​The experience ended too quickly, and the moment we graduated and were discharged was unexpectedly sad.
​I feel profound grief knowing I may never see my comrades again, as we shared every difficult moment, from sanctions and meals to sleeping and bathing.
​Ultimately, I joined the Pre-Military to gain insight and experience, as my greatest aspiration is to become a police officer.

One of the happiest experiences in my life was when I turned fifteen years old.

My parents had organized a surprise party for me, and I didn’t know anything about it.

The night before, I had gone to sleep at my aunt’s house with my cousins.

The next morning, I went to church, and then I had breakfast with my cousins.

After that, they brought me back home.

When I arrived, I entered the house and saw that the patio was decorated with my favorite theme.

My school friends and my whole family were there waiting for me.

My father received me with a big hug, congratulated me, and even cried with emotion.

I felt very touched when I saw my entire family united, singing “Happy Birthday” to me.

My grandfather was present, and he dedicated beautiful words to me.

After lunch, I went to the cinema with some of my friends, and we enjoyed the afternoon together.

That day was one of the best in my life because I felt so loved by everyone.

I have never forgotten that moment, and I have always remembered it with a smile.

One of my favorite experiences is when on March 8, 2016, Women's Day was celebrated and my dad for that reason said he would take us to a lake called Cuebas and on the way we couldn't find the place, we had to climb a mountain or hill but we couldn't find it, it was funny because in the end after 5 hours we arrived and it was closed, so we had to go back but we weren't going to leave without getting wet and as during the 5 hour journey we saw a river, we got in there and the water reached about our knees and there was sand so to make it deeper we ended up, we stayed until the trade and in that time we got thirsty, my dad brought the only 2 juices we had left and playfully my mom told my dad to throw it and when my mom threw it the juice slipped and fell into the water and since everything was brown because of the sand, we didn't find it and we were left with only one juice.
