As the time went by I started first grade of primary school and I didn’t realize of it till our teacher Mss Toli, started to give us homework every day since then.
I had more school things than I have ever had before in my backpack and it was strange after just bringing only a plastic cup and a little towel every day.
Then I started to realize that I liked doing my homework because after all that effort a "10" worth the work without any doubt. "Lengua" was my favourite subject I liked writting, the colour figures and drawing while Maths was my worst enemy because I didn’t like numbers at all. Although I hated Maths I tried to do my best in that subject in order to be a good student. And that was the beggining of school life with a sense a competivity that I didn’t realize in the beggining.
As the years passed by it was more or less the same, always trying to be a good student despite of my dislike of some subjects. Later on there were some new subjects such as: “Nature Sciencies and Social Sciencies” that (in my opinion) were more interesting than Maths.
At the same time at home Dad got a work in “Direccion Provincial de Recursos Hidricos” .Which was a great income for us, now that we were living with my grandparents. Mum did the same; she found work as a charwoman in a house. I got boring in the afternoons cause everyone slept at that time, dad because of work and my grandparents slept because of their age.
So I had to play myself with my toys and the little bugs of plants in the terrace. My favourite ones were ants and spiders, its size, shape and colour made me think that they were toys also.
Once I was playing with my “magnifying glass” with the ants. I was burning them and burnings leafs with the sunlight. I could imagine that it was like a laser and I was an space ranger from the other galaxy with a mission. My dad used to tell me that I didn’t have to play with fire like that because one day I will get burn seriously. But I’ve never take that advice in consideration . So that day I was boring of playing with the ants and plants. That’s why I started to burn some “hilos” with the “magnifying glass” and sunlinght. This thread belong to an old coach but I didn’t care as long as I couldn’t burn anything. Then I got bored again and I went to take “chocolatada”. Soon I heard a man sream of fear and some “puteadas” coming from my dad I realized that I didn’t “apagar el fuego” in the “hilo” of the coach. Dad was shouting because the fire has been extendend all around the room, it was consuming the whole coach, some forniture and the complete roof. It was amazing to see how a little playing fire could produce a real great fire. He shout at me while he tried to kill the fire with some water in “buckets”. Fortunately he alone could kill the whole fire.
When Mum arrived he told her about the fire they punished me and didn’t let me get out for 3 moths in order to make me thing of what I’ve done that afternoon.
I rememberd that another thing that I loved most during that time was watching cartoons such as: Pokemon, Dragon Ball Z, Los Caballeros del Zodiaco, Power Rangers, Rocko’s modern life, Hey Arnold, among others.
The most influence at that Time was Dragon Ballz Z, which was a long serie of 3 seasons about a fighter which came from another planet to earth just for coincidence and as he grew up he started to defend the planet from the evil hands of horribles beings of many places of the earth and the galaxy. There were many characters during the series but the most relevant was the main character Goku. I loved this serie so much that I had many varieties of toys of it and movies.
Another passion that started to grow at my age of 7 was football but it died years later because I wasn’t good at it, I did it just for fun. But it was fun being there with some friends and talk about our early life, the football teacher Tintilay was a good humour person but at the same time was very comprehensive with us. I liked the uniform, it was a red and with t-shirt with red pants with the logo of “Club Atletico Gorriti”. I was a defending playerr” there and I liked it, the emotion that sometimes is only near the goal keeper is the same for the “defensores”. Every match against another club was another chance of show brave, but I wasn’t good at showing brave in the match also, that’s why after 2 years I quit from the club.
My granparents and my uncle (who also lived in the same house) were Evangelistic Christian and at that time I didn’t one what that meant. I had just the remote idea of who Jesus and God were and I didn’t know how both were related. I thought that they just were strange people But it was a not confirmed idea yet.
They went to church every weekend, Saturday and Sunday. We didn’t go, I preffered to stay at home and watch tv. But in the following month mum took me there, it was boring for a 10 yearl old child to sit there and to hear a sermon that I couldn’t understand because they used many strange vocabulary.
Words like : grace, cross, trinity, holy spirit among others, were things that I didn’t understand, I just went there because of obligation, I was just being another a religious person in the world that does “religion” without knowing the reasons at all.
But later I realized that there was another activity at church, it was on Sundays and it was called “Escuelita dominical” and it was specially for children and young people, that was more fun because there were more kids in the class, the teachers used drawings to explain us everything and it was more interactive. That’s how I started to learn what God meant. I understood that God’s wish was everyone (not to be a religious person at all) to be saved just because of the faith in him. It just conviced me on weekend, during the week was a diferent story in my head.
That’s why as the time went by when I became an adolescente I left “religion” behind, that wasn’t for me, I thought that anyone can be perfect, so what was the reason in trying to be something that you were and also because supernatural life seemed something out of reality it didn't make sense in a relative world where the most importante thing was reason. Maybe God didn't exist at all..
In these years I developed an special taste for English for I attended to English classes in a computer institute, it attracted to me because it was relationated to music and films
I was in the last year in the primary school. I remember that the last year I had a lot of fun with my classmates. My best friend was my cousin whom I shared everything even the fights and jokes. We could be angry one each other for one day or two but then we forgive each other and kept on playing and talking about everything.
It was the last days of 7th grade and I didn’t want it to end like this, I wanted to keep on living these days for ever, there was great group of friends at school, we couldn't imagine that soon we would be living a sencodary school’s life, a new world that was awaiting for us, and that excited us.
I wasn’t the “abanderado” that year, I didn’t eve care abou it, I realized that as the time passed on I didn’t get good
