ESSAY 8. (UNIT 8)

THE BEST MOMENTS EVER IN MY LIFE

          As a human being, I have experienced many difficulties in life, but I have been able to take them as a new experiences to learn and new challenges to face. To start with, I would like to point out some relevant aspects such as my family, education, and my social life as well.

        First of all, when I as a child my mother had to leave me with my grandmother given that my older uncle had decided to start up his studies at University. The thing was, my family was running through serious money matters at that time; as a result of it, my lovely mother went to work to San Salvador in order to provide him what he needed to. In addition, I started living with my grandma from that time on. As you know, our grandmothers are so kind, adorable, and beautiful. They look after their grandsons without expecting anything in return, so it was noticeable the loving my grandma had by looking after me.

        Second of all, time was passing by, I was growing up as fast as my hopes to have my mother back by my side. Therefore, I started studying at a daycare center. There was the place where I had the worst memories I have ever had. I did not spoke to no one neither my grandmother nor my mom who was away from home, away from me. Moreover, I remember having had a good cry one day, but I also remember that the ones who love us the most are going to be there even when things are at their worst. Why do I say this?   Because my grandmother decided to take me back her place in a new school, new friends, and a new social environment. So, I began my elementary school where I was getting off a flying start since I almost always passed the exams with flying colors. Also, I was getting on a bit quickly, it was time to be engrossed in junior high school where I met up with some friends who I deem highly of, and to whom I really appreciate. Hence, my desires to learn languages given that I had a friend of mine who spoke English so well that I can say he had the gift of the gab. At this time, I was seventeen years old and my hopes to start my high school got up so as to get my bachelor’s degree and to work with people that I did not know of.

       Furthermore, I ended my high school and I was thinking of starting college. At first, I was a bit ambivalent about the major I wanted to study; I thought about medical studies, but in the end it turned out that I decided to learn foreign languages to broaden my horizons, and get a better standard of living in a foreseeable future. What is more, I wished to become a fluent English speaker, so I enrolled in an English course on Saturdays in order for me to get it better and improve my skills in that language. Also, I met new friends whom I currently practice my English with.

       To sum it up, anyone can experience a lot of whether happy moments or bad moments. It will depend on how I see them. As human beings, we do have to take advantage of the good ones and get rid of the bad ones by learning from them. Finally, my family will be always there as often as I am in need of something. I perfectly know I am devoid of many material possessions, but I have everything I could wish for thanks to them. Once I get a job, I will have to provide them with a better quality of life to continue living as my family deserves. I have always said that the first step is the hardest, and that I am able to do my utmost every single time I want to give my personal best. My friends and those people that surround me play a pivotal role in my life; hence friendship is something worth keeping.
