I have been on a journey for twenty years now. A journey with ups and
downs, but that’s what life is about enjoying the good moments and learning
from the downs in the roller-coaster. I have to be very thankful to God, to
life, and to destiny that my life has been a good one, one with more ups than
downs. Nevertheless when you go up, sometimes you have to come down, one of the
most difficult time in my journey, called life, has been the death of three of
my grandparents, two of them when I was young and one when I knew the true
meaning of death, which made it more difficult. Their journey ended, but mine
is still beginning, now I live my life with three angels and the grandmother I
still have by my side, every step of the way.
Life has given me great company throughout my journey, my life. That
company is my family that have been there for me every single day of my life,
my friends that some come and go, but make the trip more fun, and people that
have come to my life by destiny that are here to stay and complete the journey that
have not ended with me. I believe that sometimes you have to be alone to think
and reflect, but always having in mind that you have people by your side that
care for you, and I am very blessed that I have that kind of people in my life
that make my journey more pleasant.
I am a person that believes that traveling nourishes the intellect, the
soul, and life. I have been very blessed that my parents have given me the
opportunity to visit other countries so I can learn from other cultures and beliefs.
I have been to the United States, Dominican Republic, England, France, and
Spain. These countries have different cultures, languages, and beliefs, and are
very different from Puerto Rico. These countries that I have visited made me acknowledge
that not everybody is the same, that every person has different backgrounds,
that everybody has different journeys.
One of the best things we can have, in my opinion, is a great family that travels! Travel the world if you get a chance! Go to places more than once and at different stages, I can assure you that if you go now back to England you will see everything so differently. The places will never change but we do and so does our perspective.
ReplyDeleteI hope i get to travel to those places some day, specially Spain. Its great to see that at such a young age you have travel and enjoy diferent cultures. Its great to see that family is important to you, sometimes we forget that family should be an important part of life.
ReplyDeletePeople grow so much when they travel. You learn about so many important things including the way of life of other people. I have never traveled to other country outside of the Americas. My goal is to learn about cultures in my continent so I can move to the next but Spain is definetly in my bucket list.
