ZAWSZE JEST SZANSA

Since I am in Poland I have learned how to be happy with the simple pleasures of life. I came ready for everything, really nervous, but I decided to be brave. And believe me when I say that after nearly nine months with all of you, I am still giving thanks for this wonderful opportunity that life gave me. One of the many things I have learned is that if you want something, you can do it. Life is passion, courage, achievement and resilience. This last word is one of my favorites because I admire the ability of humans to overcome any misfortune: no matter how bad life treats us, you and only you, have the power to change it. For this reason, I am who I am, so I am a social educator, because of this, I decided to dedicate my life to helping others, so now in my life I am not just walking, now I run, I dance, I move, I feel alive. Did you know? Although as a child I always played sport, I had a time in which the only thought of moving from the chair made me tremble. That time was long and hard, and even though I tried several times, I always returned to the same place. I sat contemplating how my life flashed in front of my eyes. Until I said to myself: or you change or you die. It was a hard decision but at last I packed and left. And now I can say I made the best decision of my life. I decided to live and here I am: I am happy, I live surrounded by wonderful people who have taught me that I am important too. Do not ask me why I have decided to travel, running, dancing, teaching and learning ... travel with me, run with me, dance with me, teach, learn! Gantalcalá, Szansa, Biegam bo lubie, family and friends, Glogów, Poland, Spain...: thank you, thank you very much! You are my inspiration in life and now it is my turn to be the inspiration in someone's life. Zawsze jest Szansa, keep on running my friends!! :)

KEEP ON GOING!!

Hello friends! 

I am in my hometown, Logroño, in Spain, enjoying some vacation visiting family and friends. My project ended last 31 of March but I am not sad because my adventure continues with new projects, new challenges and new dreams to fulfill. While I am on vacation and with my mind a bit scattered, I still work on my next project. I have exciting new ideas that I want to launch in Glogów! It is the moment of truth, to prove I am, as my second family believes, a Super Woman. My workmates took me a lovely detail:  they met and waited for me, my great friend, Darek, on behalf of all, gave me some nice words and a picture in which I appear, as a caricature, wearing like Super Woman. I cried a lot but I also laughed out loud at my gift. Loved it! I have enough life to thank you for everything you have done for me, thank you so much!!!

So...what now?

Maybe you think that because I finished my project, my blog is also going to end. No, because as you know, I love writing and share my experiences. So, keep on writing. :)

Here in Spain, I feel a little weird. I guess that is about of the change, which is normal. I try to live my life as if I am Glogów and also, I fulfilled another of my challenges: Run 10 km on a cross. I did it! And my sister too, is something that has brought us closer! I feel so good!

It is true that the uncertainty about my future cause me some anxiety but I am aware, it is because of the thoughts that are in my head and that I can achieve what I set if I ignore those negative thoughts and if I work hard. Now, everything is in the air, but step by step it will come true!! Believe and believe that you can, live the life that you always wanted to live!

LAST DAY OF SPANISH LESSONS IN SZANSA

Last Tuesday was the last day of Spanish lessons in Szansa. Because of this I wanted to prepare something special for kids. I invited to come my Turkish friend, Merve, who taught us "Belly Dance". It was really great!! After this, I prepared food and drinks for kids and we were playing games. We played also a game called "Abanico" in which kids wrote sentences in Spanish to their mates and to me. It was so nice!! I will miss them a lot!! Even they gave me some presents: flowers, chocolate... Ohh, How I love them!! This is my last day, but I will be with them in other time for sure!! I will not forget you, kids!! <3

ENGLISH LESSONS FOR SENIORS IN SZANSA

Last day 14th of March, we started in Szansa English lessons for Seniors. This initiative was proposed by Sebastian, who is coordinating activities with the elderly. I teach to them basic English and they show a lot of enthusiam!! All of them are great. One more time, dziękuję bardzo!! 

FEELINGS VIII: MY PAST, MY PRESENT AND MY FUTURE

A week before the end of my project, I am here again to think about my life. You know I usually do it often, he he he. This month has been intense: I met new people, I have joined a running team, I made a test to know about my level of Polish, I trained every day, I have been injured and I went to rehab, I danced all night during the weekends, I have forgotten to eat (sometimes), I have ventured to  talk with the guy who catches my attention, I was crazy by nigth and  I have been responsible by day, I won a contest ... and today that sexy guy who is working near my workplace told me I have a beautiful smile! So, you can imagine that I feel soooo good! hehehe. 

What could be the word for this month? CHALLENGE

More than ever, I am motivated to train and get that I never thought I could achieve. To show people who do not believe in me, that I am able to get the life I want in here, no matter how hard it is, I will get it. But mostly, I feel motivated to feel good in my skin, to love and appreciate myself, to keep being a strong and independent woman. 

Now is when really begins my life! What will be my future? I do not know, nobody knows. I just know that my future is in Poland, currently in Głogów, and I am gonna live in the same apartment (which I am glad for it because I love it). My future projects are not definited at all, but are taking shape, Just I have to keep working hard and implement them. Ah, I know also, that in a week I am going to Spain, and when I return, I will participate in this Cross as you already know.

 I do not know what my future holds, I have no idea! Just I want to be  happy and make others happy, which I think I am getting it!

 I think I can say that I know about  myself a little more . Have I matured? I do not. I think I rejuvenated in all aspects of my life. I learned , I taught , I Cried ,I Laughed, I have fallen and I woke up, well ... I am alive! I feel life in all the pores of my skin, in every beat of my heart , in my blood pressure ... Because I am as I am , I am what you see: crazy, passionate, conceited, whimsical, energetic and open mind. If I love you , you will know it. If I do not like something, I will let you know. I love kissing, hugging, dancing, singing , running ... I like sin and regret the next day . I love live my life withouth restrictions, and share my happiness with people. I like to smile to serious people , I like to dance with shy people , I like flirting and look at the eyes . I like to love and feel loved . I Like  to feel chills. I like ... to be free , I like to feel myself as a girl and as a woman. I like Poland, Spain , all the world entire, my family, my job , my friends .... I like you ! <3

So ... What is of what you want from Spain? A little sunshine in a bottle ...? ;)

Be Happy, my friends! 


PS. I passed my Polish test!!  ;)

TIME TO WORK HARD!!

Hi there!

My apologies for these last days. I am really busy preparing everything about my future here in Poland after my Evs project. Remember that it will finish on 31th of this month, so now is time to make evaluation, think about it and about what about after these eigth months being EVS volunteer. It is really good that I have people who is helping me a lot and step by step I can visualize my life here clearly. Also, I am training hard. Some mates from Szansa and I will be taking part in a popular race. It is our next challenge and we are training for it, because we want to do it well and prove that we can do it. It is time to study, to work, to work out hard to get what I want in life. I have to show to everybody that I deserve to be here because I am a hard worker, because I want to achieve my dreams and I want to reach my goals. I want to beat myself and know what I am capable. I know that if you want something, you can get it, working hard. Nothing is impossible, just you have to work for it. And I am in this moment. It is my moment!! Nothing can stop me!!

Race in which Szansa will be taking part.

I joined a running team!!
