Hello Lourdes!
As you know, my name is Paula and I'm 17 years old. I always have lived in Empuriabrava, in the same house and obviously with the same people, my family. I have two siblings, my brother David who is 12, and my sister, Carlota who is 15. Although they sometimes drive me crazy I love them so much. My father, Ramón, works as a fireman and my mother, Marian works in a school looking after problematic kids.

After an amazing summer here
we are again in high school, luckily it is going to be the last year. I’m
currently studying 2nd of scientific batxillerat, and the truth is
that, seeing the results of the last year I think I can do it a little bit
better to get better marks.
I don’t really have a lot of
expectations about how my life is going to be or what I am going to study or
where I am going to live, because at the end it doesn’t matter how much you
plan your life, nothing is going to be as you planned it. But yes, I know more
or less what could be my life in a year; maybe I will be studying something
related to biology (that’s what I like the most from high school), like
biomedical science, or pharmacy, in Barcelona or Madrid or maybe I will be
doing a gap year to clear my head and decide what to do with my life. For
either of these two options I need to work hard. For the first option I have to
make an effort studying and getting good marks because usually science degrees
demand it, and for the second one I will have to exert myself too, working in
summer to earn money and take the gap year. The truth is that I am the only one
who can do it, I mean, although people support me, if I don’t study or I don’t
go to school or I don’t get a job I won’t be able to achieve my goals. Life is
full of surprises so I’m not worried about deciding what to do.
While I was watching
Obama’s speech again, I realized that it’s full of beautiful sentences so I
couldn’t choose just, one but three. The first one is “Every single one of you
has something that you are good at. Every single one of you has something to
offer. And you have the responsibility to discover what it is.” I think these
words are so comforting because not everyone is good with studies and sometimes
we, the students, forget that there is another world outside high school, and
not everything turns around getting good marks and being the best of the class;
that if we are not good with science or letters, maybe we will be good at
sports or arts and that’s okay. Another sentence that I liked is “Where you are
now doesn’t have to determine where you’ll end”, as I said before life is full
of surprises, and even if you are in the most miserable situation if you try
and you don’t give up on yourself, you can get over it and live the life you
always wanted. It’s only matter of working hard and trusting in you. And the
last one is “You won’t necessarily succeed at everything the first time you
try. That’s okay”. I like this sentence because it is completely true,
moreover, you will probably fail if you are trying to do something new for you,
and this will only teach you what to do to do it well. The most important thing
about the speech is that you never have to give up on yourself, even if things
are not going as you want, you are the only one that trying over and over again
can do whatever you want.
Lots of love,
Paula
