Colombia, Barranquilla and my neighborhood
All began when my parents met in the pool of the naval base of Barranquilla through a friend of my mom, in 1982, after some weeks they met better, and then they were boyfriends. The whole family of may dad are from Neiva, Huila he has 6 brothers and 1 sister. The whole family of my mom are from Barranquilla, Atlantico she has 6 sisters and 1 brother.
When my parents get married in Barranquilla of 1987, neither my brother or me had born, my parents could only have children 8 years later of being married, because of a problem of my mom.
After getting married my parents lived in San Andres only for 2 years because of my dads job, after living in the island my parents lived like 1 or 2 years in Cartagena, Puerto Leguizamo, and Bogotá.
Finally they stayed here in Barranquilla some months later my brother was born he lived all his childhood in the house of my grandmother, 8 years later I was born also in this city. But when my family turned 4 we had to live in another house then we moved to a house near from my grandmother, but some months later of being there my mom began to feel strange things, that are not normal and my mom told me that in that house I was always like scared or screaming so we move from that house. Then we lived in an apartment I don’t remember very much about that place but my mom told me that when I was a girl I enjoy very much that house, but I always remember that almost everyday I went to my grandmothers house that was very big, I used to eat delicious things in that house, I passed very good with my granny, I did many adventures with my cousins, I played in the street with a ball and for me that was happiness, I have many good good memories about my granny and his house.
Finally after all that houses and apartments I am living in an apartment that I like very much because of the location, is near the school, the supermarkets, malls, parks and many places to eat. In this apartment that I am living now I like it very much, not only for the location or the places that are near also for the people that lives in this neighborhood, and all the priviledges that I have only for living here. For me the location is very important in my house I can go to many malls or supermarkets walking, I can go to my school walking, the only difficult is the climate. My neighbors are very good persons, every morning I go to school they talk with me and that is nice because we have to socialize with new people and in this apartment I had lived like 11 years.
Talking about places I had visit in Colombia, I had visited Bogotà, Medellin, Cartagena, Santa Marta and Neiva. Visit all that cities was a great experience, because for example the first time I visited bogotá I was very happy because it was cold and I saw all that mountains was incredible for me. The first time I visited Cartegena was for the job of my dad and because for me is beautifull, the beach, the hotels and all the places we can go there. Another special place is Neiva because that is the city were the family of my dad is and was born, when I can I visit my uncles. The city that for me is very very beautifull is Medellin I love it’s nature, it’s climate, the wunderfull places were you can go, to a mall, to a park or a museum, I love this city. I think that instead of looking other places in all the world we need to know more about our country and take care of it.
