Welcome to
my Blog!
Trying to
find a good name or a topic for writing is not an easy task. So I started
wondering what to do with this space, when an anecdote with similar characteristics
crossed my mind.
Last year I
was supposed to deliver the graduation speech for my 6th graders
students. The funny thing is, they were my first students ever. I felt honored…and terrified! In front of my
kids I can do anything: speak, sing, dance, play, laugh…I´m kinda of a
clown…but with a mic…I´m a total disaster! I hate it… Nevertheless…I was asked
to write it, and read it.
It happens
to me that I love reading. So, I went back to the basics. I choose my favourite
books, and prepared my fabulous speech. I must admit that I almost cried but I
didn´t. After the speech, we watched a video, one I prepared with pictures when
they were in 2nd form, in 4th, in 6th…all the
years we spent together. It was a terrible yet adorable group. They drove me
crazy, but they taught me a lot… they helped me went through awful moments in
my life, though they never knew; me grew together and learned way too much
things (and not only content). They were my first group.
So, I left
them this poem. (just a part…not the entire book)
And again,
as that hot and wet Friday night last December, I found inspiration in my
beloved literature. And now, let´s pick up everything and prepare my stuff that
I have to face my now not so little and innocent first group!
