THE BEAUTIFUL EXPERIENCE IN HIGH SCHOOL:

I studied in “La Normal de Copacabana” since 1997 until now; but I am going to tell the experience since sixth grade (2003).

The first day in high school was so sad and terrible for me, because in elementary school I had a friend, her name is Carolina and I though, I had studied always with her, but in this year I was in a classroom and her in other. In this year I knew many friends and I began with bad grades in science so I had been studying so much for winning this subject and I won this, but I didn’t like Mathematics and I didn’t feel encourage for studying it, so I lost all year mathematics. For it reason I did an evaluation in January in 2004 and I won this, it means that I won Mathematics.

In seventh grade I had been doing some crazy things with my friends to other classmates, and in this year I didn’t care the study, I didn’t make homework, and I lost social sciences because this subject was so difficult, the teacher made oral evaluations and I didn’t like to talk so much I was so shy with the teachers, but I loved to bother the people. I had been loving my friends but the majority of them to lose the year and I continued in eighth grade.

In January I had doing the evaluation for recovering socials science of seventh grade and I won this, so in eighth grade I was more studios than in seventh grade, so I won all subjects but in this year I was beginning with a crisis in my adolescence, I had had a boyfriend and we finish the relationship because he went to live to United States so I was felling so sad and I had many problems with some classmates and with my parents. So for this reason I felt so depressive and I began with bad grades again.

In ninth grade I knew more girls and I did many friends in this year, but it was the worse year in the high school in the grades; I was always with my friends and I never was alone but I was a little depressive so I didn’t care the school. But one day I spoke with the English teacher and she told me that she had been worrying for me, because she saw me more differently than the last year in the grades and in the encourage, so I felt so bad and I began to study, read, make the evaluations and I increased the grades and the encourage with the help of my family.

Tenth grade was more differently, I began to study English in the University of Antioquia, so I had been studying so much in this year and I began to love the English, so in this year I decided to study something with English but I didn’t know yet what do I want to study?

This year was so nice also because I was fifteen years old and my parents did an excellent and beautiful party for my family and for my friends.

In eleventh grade I was more mature, studios, I felt so happy with me, with my family, my friends, and classmates and with the life. In this year I decided to study Translation in the University of Antioquia, so I had been doing if I win the exam in the university I studied it degree course but if I don`t win the exam I stay in the Complementary cycle and this one was the event, I didn’t win the evaluation so I decided to study bachelor`s. And for this decision I felt and I feel so happy because when I began in the first semester I knew that translation isn’t my degree course or maybe in a long time but not now, and I began to love and liked me so much the bachelor`s, the English more and the children of my practicum.

In general I love my formation in the normal, although had always inconvenient and difficult situations in many things.
