One day of my life #My500Words Day5

Trying to describe a moment of my life is quite difficult for me right now. I have so many days in my memory but so little ideas of what to write about.

I'm thinking of a day that happened about 16 years ago. I was a three-year-old girl like any other who was living her first day of school, for the second time. Yes, although I was 3, I had never gone to kindergarden, but had gone to school one year before I was supposed to. Don't believe I was very intelligent, even though I hope so, that wasn't the reason why I was there.

When I was 2, my parents started looking for a kindergarden for me to go to, but there wasn't any which had the schedules they needed. All of them closed before they could pick me, so they went to the scool I was supposed to go one year later. They talked to the teacher in charge and the only condition was I couldn't need to wear baby napkins so, since by that time I didn't, I kind of passed the test, and started school.

I don't remember much about that year, I just believe I used to be very talkative, because I think I was punished some time, standing, looking at the wall because of that. And then... then there's what my mum told me. It is quite a funny story. One day of the year, at any time of the day while I was at school, I was talking (as usual), and my teacher told me to shut up. And then me, a 2 to 3-year-old girl answered:
- I'm sorry, but I can't stop talking because then I can't breathe.
To what the teacher obviously started to laugh, and then told my parents, who also laughed. They still laugh when they tell me and remember.

So, let's go back to the begining. I was there, for the second time, standing in a class that wasn't new. They wanted me to start over again so I would be in class with kids of my age instead of those who were one year older. But those older children were my friends. And the ones in my class weren't. I was terrified. Because I was standing there, in a circle, with my parents, my teacher, who hadn't changed, and a group of children I didn't know. I was affraid, sad and upset. I wanted my friends, a new teacher and also wanted to learn new things.

I was sad then, but I'm happy now. Probably my life would have been very different from what it has been. And I'm really happy with it. My friends, my family, university... I'd almost say everything is better than I could have ever expected. And if it is this way, it is because of circumstances, choices, opportunities, everything in my life has lead me to this point. Present, here, now.

    So you started kindergarden when you were two? So did I, but it was quite normal in my case, i was with kids of my age and i did not have to repeat the same course again.
    Anyway, if the reason was your parents's schedule, why did they choose the kindergarden instead of a day care?

    You really wowed me with that question hahaha I'd never thought about that before. It was because I was living in a small village without day care and the school and my parents' work where at the same town, and also the fact that a day care is much more expensive. Thanks for asking! Did you like it?

Nowhere can be somewhere

Sometimes you realise how far you can get if you really want to. Travelling through places I'd never been before I can see what's already been done. And if someone has been able to do this, ehy shouldn't I? Places that are almost like deserts, and which is probably what they were, have been converted to green and fertile soil with just water. But someone had to bring water to those lonely places which, despite having changed a lot are still lost in the middle of nowhere. I wonder who came here with the idea of changing it. I can only see lorries, roads and desert in here. I seem to be lost, lost in the middle of a planet which doesn't look like mine. How can even be possible for life to be somewhere like this, far away from everywhere, far away from any other kind life. All that shows if you want, you can, so if you have a project and really believe in it, why not give it a try? Same way someone got there and watered the soil, you just have to start planning your wor...

Estrelles en un cel de nit

Hi ha moltes persones al món, moltítssimes. Gairebé tantes com peixos al mar o arbres al bosc, però cadascuna és especial a la seva manera. Dia rere dia ens llevem i comencem una rutina que pot acabar sent desastrosa i cansada, o divertida i diferent, és quelcom que depèn de molts factors, suposo. Els dies dolents, portats a extrems i de manera repetitiva són, segurament, la causa del desànim permanent de moltes persones però, val la pena? Moltes vegades no ens adonem que tenim sort. Una família, uns amics, una feina... el problema és que vivim en un món materialista on això es valora molt menys del que es mereix. Però això és la vertadera essència de la vida, el motor de la felicitat i el que fa que puguem tirar endavant i aixecar-nos quan caiem en topar amb obstacles inesperats que, en moltes ocasions, acaben sent els detonants de coses bones. Ja que a vegades fan que ens esforcem per aconsegui...

Escac i mat (22)

Però llavors es va adonar que tampoc estava perfecte. Va notar com començava a faltar-li l'aire, va tossir, s'ofegava. La Diana es va despertar de l'ensurt i, després de prémer el botó per avisar l'enfermera, va sortir corrent al passadís crindant, demanant ajuda.  - Enfermera! Enfermera!  Per sort hi havia una enfermera allà mateix que va entrar per ajudar. - Calmi's, si us plau - Va dir a l'Albert mentre comprovava que tot estés al seu lloc.  Només era el tub de l'oxigen, se li havia col-locat sota el braç i no li n'arribava prou. Va aixecar-li el braç i al moment l'Albert va notar que li arribava l'aire. Va fer una inhalació llarga per recuperar tot el que necessitava i es va anar calmant lentament. Tossia, però de l'espant barrejat amb la falta d'aire. Ja estava bé. L'enfermera va marxar quan ja estava estable i tranquil una altra vegada. La Diana tenia la respiració accelerada i els ulls vermells però, tot i que...
