EARLY MEMORIES

I remember the first time I entered the small center. I was on primary school, and we visited the Néstor Almendros, and I got so excited that I wanted to be there already, but as I started the lessons I realized how wrong I was. It was really hard and it was the first time in my life failing a subject for Christmas.
I was the "small" of the school again and I was scared of older people.
I remember that I was a shy boy in a room with just a few friends, and my life was based on school marks, but little by little I started to know the people of my class and then school marks went to a secondary role.
My English teacher was always speaking english, but I got used to it, and I learnt a lot of english without having to go to english classes out of the school.

AMSTERDAM

It all started when I heard that people coursing a scientific bachillerato would have the opportunity of doing an exchange with Amsterdam. I have always liked going abroad and doing exchanges. I had gone already to Wales and to Cambridge, but I wanted more.
The problem was that only twenty people could go to Amsterdam, and I thought I would not be one of them, but I was wrong. I was chosen to go to Amsterdam.
I was sixteen years old when I went to Amsterdam, and I was going with a lot of good friends. We had already hosted our exchange people and now it was our turn.
I was very excited to go to Amsterdam. Our friends there had told us that they had bought tickets for some discos, and I liked that idea.
That trip was not much cultural, but fun. In the mornings we were with the teachers, so in the mornings we did the cultural trip. We visited Anne Frank's house and Volendam Park, and even the Red Light District. But when teachers were not with us, we did the fun trip, going out to party and have fun.
Amsterdam's has been the best trip in my life, not only for the city, but for the people that came with me.
