THE MISTAKE THAT CHANGED MY LIFE

Last year, my father filled in an appplication for a new job, and he asked to me to write the number 220 on the envelope, to have the job in Malaga, and to post it after school. I went to school and then I sent the letter. A few weeks later, when I came home, my father was very sad, and he told me that we had to move away to Sydney! I couldn't believe it and I asked him why. He told me that it was because I had written 22 on the envelope, and that number was for Sydney, and there wasn't anything that we could do about that. I felt really angry with myself because of my mistake, one number and we had to move away to the other side of the world! This mistake really changed my life.

A BREAKFAST TO REMEMBER!

I was having breakfast at a hotel in Madrid, when suddenly I saw a player of Real Madrid eating in front of my table. I couldn’t believe it! I went to ask him for a photo, and he invited me to sit with him. I was so excited! I stopped to think for a while and I said to myself, “I am eating with an elite player, that’s fantastic!”
The following week he came to see me play and he spoke to the board of directors of Real Madrid suggesting that I join the team! That changed my life completely.

A FOOTBALL MATCH WHICH REALLY MADE A CHANGE

I was playing a football match in my club, and among the people who were watching the match was a F.C Barcelona talent scout. My performance drew his attention. I played as a mid-fielder and I was lucky to score the goal that made us win the match. Afterwards, the F.C Barcelona talent scout came up to me and suggested me going to play in Barcelona in a trial period for one year. After that period I was asked to stay there with a big salary, and I accepted. My life changed completely.
I was very surprised because the dream that I had had since I was a kid was going to come true.

A DIFFERENT SUMMER

Five years ago, I spent ten days in a campsite in Loja, a town which belongs to Granada. I went to this campsite with some of my friends, and there we met other people from Malaga as well. During those ten August days we did a lot of activities and played different sports: swimming, football, basketball and trekking. We also slept in a tent one night.

Apart from this, there was a ‘horror night’. That night, the people who organised the activity were wearing spooky costumes: some of them were vampires, ghosts, witches. mummies or skeletons. They hid several objects and we had to find them in order to get prizes, such as sweets or toys.

I think this experience changed my life because I was only nine years old and everything was new for me. I was amazed and I made a lot of new friends (I still see them from time to time). I will never forget that summer.

BUSKING THE STREETS AND TOURING THE WORLD

I was busking in the street playing my guitar when I heard a familiar voice singing in the other street. When I walked to the next street, I saw the famous singer, Ed Sheeran. He was sitting on the floor singing 'The a team' while he was playing his acoustic guitar.
He saw my guitar and he asked if I wanted to play guitar with him, so I did. When we finished, he asked if I wanted to be his guitarist in his next tour and I accepted! I was so excited!
Now, I'm discovering the world with him!
This experience has changed my life because now my dream is coming true and I'm visiting many countries! This is so amazing!

MY DREAM COME TRUE

I was at the beach playing the viola last Saturday, in the afternoon. Suddenly I saw a celebrity walking along the seaside. It was the famous orchestra director Harry Kendrick Smith! I continued to play and dance at the same time, and a big round of applause came from the people who were sitting at the bar nearby. Harry was surprised, and then he smiled. He came up to me and asked me if I would like to play in his orchestra. I accepted, so in a few weeks´time I will move to New York city and I will play in the best orchestra in the world!!!

LIFE CAN CHANGE FROM ONE DAY TO ANOTHER

It was 26th September 2008, a day like any other day. I came home back from school but my house was empty. I didn't know what had happened. I only thought of horrible things, that my mother had had an accident, or that a thief had broken into the house. I quickly left my house and headed to my aunt's. Those 30 minutes were an eternity to me!
When I arrived, my grandparents told me, 'Don't worry, your mother is at hospital, with your brother'. I was very, very happy!
Later, we went to the hospital to visit my new brother, he was very good-looking and tendet! At that tine, I thought,"A good thing is worth waiting for"
