It was summer of 2003 when I thought that this new experience would be strange and this made me feel afraid . The 1st day of class in secondary school started and I was afraid, I didn't know anyone I was afraid of talking with this people that I have never seen before but soon I realized that most of them were also afraid of this new experience in secondary school. During the first week I started to make some friends.
I experienced so many things in secondary school . During this time I developed love for reading, that soon became reading just for pleasure. Books like "El caballero de la armadura oxidada", "El alquimista" marked my life as I started to understand the world that surrounded me, it seemed to me that there were much more out there to be explore and that idea liked me.
Without noticing it another taste was being developed, abstract photography, a picture could say more than one word, it could say many things, cause the figure is abstract and give the place of many interpretation. I tended to go out from time to time in order to capture an instant image in the street or sometimes I created scenes in a place and take shot.
I couldn't notice but I was in the tunnel l of loving art. I started to write my own short stories of fiction, just for pleasure, but I didn't show them to anyone, the idea of showing them bored me. It was just a hobby that was just for me and myself. I wrote many stories, some poems and essays that years later published in my blog.
Handball was the sport I practice at school even I wasn't a good sportsman. I used to go for a free running from time to time just to ride and to make exercise
I remember during secondary school I wasn't good at studies, it seemed that my marks were lower than primary school, but it didn't worry me because I understood that in primary school I used to study just to be proud and to show the rest of people that I was the best of the best, it sounded stupid but it was like that.
Again in the last year of secondary school was a extreme sadness among us, nobody wanted to say goodbye cause this time we had shared many things, more than primary school. but university time was at the door.
Before finishing secondary school I decided to study English in the teacher training college for many reasons: a kind of special love for English culture, for the English language itself and also because enjoyment of talking with people, sharing and hearing opinions, I think this help us to open our mind to new horizon, but it help to growth in relationship with many people and different cultures.
As I have been practicing free running since my adolescence I started to run for more distance, first 3 km then 8 and finally 10 km. So I decided to start running marathons just for fun cause I have some resistance on my legs. My first marathon was "El tribuno" in 2009". It was a great sensation to share a path a some kilometers just with one thing in mind, the finish line. I remembered that at some point of the race I started to focus in this as a much a I forget about my fatigue, my eyes were only put on the finish line, no matter if were 15th or the last, I just wanted to finish it no matter what. From that time and on. I try to participate almost every year.
College's time arrived. College life wasn't what I expected, it was harder than I thought but I liked it, English was funny and interesting without a doubt, that helped me to keep studying it.
Bu t some clouds came from the horizon, again that question was revolving my head but ¿ Does it God exist?. Many things were puzzling me and they seemed to be connected to one another and many things give the idea of something more
The Earth...its size is perfect. The Earth's size and corresponding gravity has a thin layer of mostly nitrogen and oxygen gases, only extending about 50 miles above the Earth's surface. If Earth were smaller, an atmosphere would be impossible, like the planet Mercury. If Earth were larger, its atmosphere would contain free hydrogen, like Jupiter. Earth is the only known planet equipped with an atmosphere of the right mixture of gases to sustain plant, animal and human life.
The human brain: It can simultaneously processes an amazing amount of information. brain takes in all the colors and objects we see, the temperature around you, the pressure of your feet against the floor, the sounds around you, the dryness of your mouth, even the texture of your keyboard. Your brain holds and processes all your emotions, thoughts and memories. At the same time your brain keeps track of the ongoing functions of your body like your breathing pattern, eyelid movement, hunger and movement of the muscles in your hands.
Human physic perfection and sense of justice nature talked about a Designer, cause it didn't fixed if it all was just for casualty. As a kind of atheist 2 quotes shaken my world an my mind, what do you want God? Is that really you God?
As Malcolm Muggeridge, socialist and philosophical author, wrote "I am not the only one who has experienced this., I had a notion that somehow, besides questing, I was being pursued." C.S. Lewis (novelist, academic, literary critic, essayist and Christian apologist.) said as he rememered, "...night after night, feeling whenever my mind lifted even for a second from my work, the steady, unrelenting approach of Him whom I so earnestly desired not to meet. I gave in, and admitted that God was God, and knelt and prayed: perhaps, that night, the most dejected and reluctant convert in all of England."
I was in the same situation. God was talking but he was saying something more that I couldn't catch yet. So I thought of coming back to my Old Christian Church, maybe there I may find the answer of that. There I understood that it wasn't church that changes people is God himself who does that, it depends also if that person desires really a great change in his life, because spiritual life exists, everything happens have consequences in our inside out, that feelings are abstract also but it doesn't mean that just for the fact of being abstract they don't exist, the same happens with God.
And as the time went by I realized that what I needed was not Christianism as a simple religion, what I need was a relationship directly with the God creator in everyday life.
Months later I started to work in Christian movement that works in the universities in Argentina, it was called ABUA (Asociación Biblica Universitaria Argentina) this movements as others belongs to a big one called IFES (International Fellowship of Evangelical Students) with headquarters in London.

I kept on writing and taking pictures on my own. In 2011 have the chance of publishing one of my shorts stories in a cultural magazine called "La Gacetilla, this short story talks about the relation between the writer and the reader. I couldn't believe it at the beginning, it was a dream, or maybe a beginning of something more?
