Last chapter. Turning points.

I can still remember the first day at Secondary school. Now, six years later, I realize how things have changed and how different my life was.
When I started 1st year of Secondary Education , I was just a child and I didn't know what I was going to do in the future. As the years passed, my ideas were more clear. But it wasn't until 4th year when I knew for sure what I really wanted to be. This school year, I failed maths in the first term so that made me think about my future and it was a turning point in my life because it was the first time I failed a subject.
From that moment, I became more responsible and I started to think about studying medicine, even knowing that I would be very difficult; but I decided that I was going to try it.
Things have also changed with classmates since the very first moment. We have made two trips together as a bilingual group, one of them in 2nd year, when we went to Wales, and the other one in 4th year, when we went to Cambridge and London. Both of them have improved our relationship. In spite of having some little fights or disputes, we love each other so much .
To sum up, I want to be optimistic and I hope that things will be as good as expected. I personally believe that if you want something you just have to go for it, because everything is achieved with efford and determination. Although now it's time to separate from each other and go to our university, I know that many of us will still be friends, but I am sure I will miss them all.

Chapter 5. Amsterdam

Last year, we all had the opportunity of going to an exchange. The people from the scientific Bachillerato could go to Amsterdam and the rest could travel to Italy. Only twenty five people from each Bachillerato could go to those exchanges, but it didn't become a problem because not many people wanted to go due to the studies.
In April 2012, we travelled to Amsterdam. I remember that we all were very excited because we thought that we will have a lot of fun there, and we were not wrong. We only stayed there a week but it was amazing. We did a lot of funny and interesting things such as climbing trees in the middle of the forest; so we were never bored.
From my point of view, the worse aspect of Amsterdam is the weather. Although we went in April, it was very, very cold. However, I think that it is a beautiful city that everyone should visit.
When the exchange finished; on the one hand, we were very sad because we wanted to stay longer there but on the other hand, we were happy because we also wanted to go to Seville's Fair that had already started.
In short, I personally believe that everyone should have an experience like that. Now, I am very happy because I have all this memories from Amsterdam in my mind and I am sure that I will never forget them.

Chapter 4. Cheating

Mª Paz is a very popular teacher in our class. She has been teaching us for four years and we have had many anecdotes in her lessons, so that is why I would like to speak about one of them.
It was when we were at third year of Secondary Education. That day, we had a surprise chemistry exam of the periodic table and obviusly we hadn't studied for it although it was not necessary because we should knew it.
Most normal thing would have been that we were nervous but we were not because we already knew her and how her exams were. When the exam started, we all looked at each other and from this moment we knew that we were thinking about the same thing: Cheating. Mª Paz didn't realise that we had the periodic table in our school diaries, so we could cheat it from them without any problem.
When Mª Paz gave us back our exams corrected,we all had very good marks and we were so happy. For that reason, we have continued cheating in her exams until last year.

Third chapter: Classmates & friends

Andrea and Samara are two good friends of mine. I am really lucky to have them because I know that I can count on them when I need it.
I knew Andrea a long time ago when we were in our former school, so I know her very well and she has never failed me. When we two started Secondary Education, we were at the same class that was the bilingual group. There, we had the opportunity of meeting new people because many students came from other schools. The first day, we two started to talk with Samara and we three got on well very quickly.
Nowadays, we are still good friends and I hope that our relationship will be long.
We are all good friends in our class. From the first moment, we all have been very connected and we know each other very well because we have been together for six years. We have made wonderful trips and exchanges so we also have had fun. I am really happy to have met all these people because they are now my friends and I am sure that I will never forget them.

Second chapter: Higinio

I would like to talk about Higinio, one of the best teachers that I have had in these last years.
I knew him last year when he started to give chemistry lessons to the biological class, that was mine. My sister had already told me of him because he was her teacher when she was my age and she really loved him.
Higinio has taught us a lot of chemistry specially to me and also to the people from the bilingual group that were in my class. We didn't know too much about the subject because we couldn't learn so much in Secondary education, so we can say that we know chemistry because of him.
I personally spent a wonderful and amusing school year with him and i would have liked to have him again as my chemistry teacher this year but that is not possible due to his retirement of the school so we couldn't have him again and it is really a shame.
Definitely, we all have to thank him a lot and I'm very, very glad to have been his student for a year and I really wish him the best.

First chapter: My earliest memory.

I actually don't remember too much about my first day at Secondary School but the memories that I have are so important for me and I will never forget them.
The earliest memory that I have has marked this six years we have been together in the bilingual group because I consider that it is very important the first contact that you have with new people.
15th september 2007. It was our first day together as a group. That day was the presentation with all our new classmates and the teacher that coordinates the bilingual project, Isabel Celis, that was also our english teacher; who was going to give us a speech in spanish about the whole project.
When the presentation finished, we began to meet each other and I started to talk with Samara, a very important friend that I have nowadays. I only knew some people of my new class that were in my former school but fortunately they were good friends of mine. It was a very good day.
Now, I am glad to have been in this class for six years because I feel so comfortable with everyone and we are so good when we are together.
