INTERNATIONAL FAIR

Madrid. 22/11/2011. Everything was ready. The posters hung the stove on, and the tables provided. We represented all that it means a country: its people, its food, its national sport ... CES Don Bosco celebrated it first International Fair. We were all anxious, excited, nerve. It was time. And finally, students and teachers came. Asked, wanted information but above all, wanted to see the good in every country, or the same, its gastronomy. And so, Canada fed us with pancakes with maple syrup, New Zealand let us test their kiwis. And U.S.A. tempts us with their peanut butter sandwiches. When it was over, few words have being going round and round in my head: effort, hard work and above all, collaboration.

PROBLEMS AT SCHOOL

SCHOOL DRIVING

The big day had arrived. 18. Otto woke up and looked at her sister Lucy who was still asleep. I joined a promise, the promise of a driver's license drawn together when they reach adulthood. That was the deal they made with their father. I wanted to learn to drive and wanted to do with Lucy, her twin sister.
Every day their mother prepares them the breakfast before going to work. Glass of orange juice and toasts with butter. Upon entering the kitchen he found something else on his plate and he had prepared for Lucy. Two envelopes. He ran to wake her, wanted to open together two separate envelopes. In each found a check for € 700, courtesy of his parents.
Without hesitation came down to the driving school that stood at the doorway of her home. Each one with its corresponding check in your pocket. Since last June the driving school had an offer: "Getting a driving license for young people aged 18-22 years, € 665," and Otto and Lucy knew. They came to learn of it, when the man who answered said that the offer was valid only for men. The number of women rose to 850 € claiming that they need up to 50% of practical classes.

Otto had a plan. He accepted the offer. He studied hard and passed the exam. After that, he started with driving classes. One day, when he went pass the driving school, he bended the steering wheel to the left and crashed the car into it. The police and the mass media came to the crashed scene. Otto told them about the story of the money. the next day his story was on the cover

She spent long hours in the queue, but she didn´t realized that the person who was in front of her, was to change her life.
after a long time talking at the end of the queue María gave her telephone number to this person, and also they decided to buy the same number for the lottery.
They decided to buy the number 21911 because this number reflected the day that they were in the queue.

BITING AN APPLE

"You were not in my belly Steven", told me mom. She said that some children have two dads and two moms. She also told me that my other mummy's name is Joanne and she is from Germany and, my dad is Muslim and his name is Abdulfattah. Then she said that I am a great mix, and I asked her why, and mom has replied that “Best projects always turn out from the best mixes” but I don’t understand what it means.

I asked why I am not with them, so mom answered me that sometimes there are parents who don’t have enough money to care for their children, so they look for other parents as good as them for support them. And she told me that my other mom and my other dad loved very much, and for that reason, they didn’t want I was far from them, so they live in California like us!

Mom has told me these things whereas I was having a snack. Today she gave me an apple, because mummy knows I love to eat them. And after, mom asked me ¿Do you see the apple you’re biting? and I said yes and she said me that if I were with my other parents, I couldn’t eat apples because they wouldn’t buy them, and that has made me very sad, because I love biting apples, of all colors!, yellow, green, red,…

So because of that, mom told me that my other parents have left me with the other mom and dad, so I can eat all apples I want.

I like a lot how mummy explains me things. When I have finished my apple, she has given me permission to go to play to the garage.

Why did I lose in that way? Why did I stop when they said stop? Why did I speak?. It's true, my family don't know anything, but they know everything, I want to smoke, but they said me “ you can´t smoke here”, however I smoked the last night, yes my friend, the last night, because my live will be other, I don't know which will be my name, I don't know where I will live and the most important, I don't know if I could live without my things.

WASHING MACHINE

Dear Mum,

I’m fine in the new house, but I’ve just a little doubt to ask you.

What do I have to do with my dirty clothes? In our house I left it my room and appeared clean in the closet by magic.

Love,

Your son

Dear son:

Go to the kitchen and locate a square machine (no, no the dishwasher), the one which has a big round hole in the middle.

Get in the supermarket a detergent to clean clothes.

Put a little bit in the drawer on the corner.

Put your laundry in the big hole (the colored clothing, I'll tell you what to do with the white)

Press the start button.

And please, don’t not hypnotize with the twists of the machine.

Lots of love,

                Mum.
