22 years living

22 years could be a long period of time but it is not for a live. My name is Cecilia de los Milagros Lopez Martinez and thanks to Francisco Lopez and Ma. Eugenia I started to breathe in September 12th of 1989. I was born in the city of the quarry, Zacatecas city but I have spent my childhood, teenage and part of my young adult in a small town called Ojocaliente were the tunas and grapes are abundant.

I had a nice childhood. I always remember my grandmother’s yard and the local aquatic park. The yard was always full of laughs and kids. Those kids were my cousins and together, we used to spend our Sunday afternoons in that yard. We always were playing games and making competences of boys vs. girls, and also asking to our aunts and uncles for our pocket money. The days in the aquatic park were full of sun and heat. I used to go with my family and after swimming in all the pools we used to eat ham sandwiches.

My young adult was dived into two cities. These cities are Zacatecas and Aguascalientes, and they are at the same distance of my hometown. When I finished high school, I decided study gastronomy in Zacatecas city. Even though I learned a lot of interesting things related with food, met two of my best friends, and had a good time in Zacatecas city, I realized that it was not my style of living and finally, I decided to move to Aguascalientes city to study ELT. I have always thought that the fate puts you in the correct place and that is the reason because of I am where I am.

The time flies and in 24 hours the future becomes present. My plans for the future are die in peace, and I only would die in peace if I felt fulfilled. I am the kind of person who works hard for getting what I really want and the first step to feel me fulfilled is finish my career. Then, I would like to start working, I would like to save money to support myself and save money for the things I want. Also, I would like to start a master degree to be a well prepared professional person and do good deeds for my community.

I have lived 22 years. There are a lot of things that can happen in 22 years. I have done a lot of things and I need and want to do more. My life has given me good moments, persons, and experiences to remember, but also it has given to me bad things, and with out these bad things life would not be life, because bad things make us stronger and they prepared us for the next events. I thank God because He has given me 22 years of life and I ask Him for more years.
