I BELIEVE

I believe in my mother

She is strong, smart, and self-sufficient.

She is delicate, proud, and lovely.

I have one older brother and one younger brother.
Mom always told us “forward not backward to gain momentum”.

She is always our base supporting and fighting for our best future,

She taught us to identify the correct way to walk.

She wanted us to be good people who should provide a little seed in our society,

If we suffered, she suffered.

If we laughed, she laughed.

If we were happy, she was happy.

Mom today, tomorrow, and all time is looking for our best present and future.

I have learned that in the best and the worst, my mother is always with me.
Mom has been the best friend and my best teacher during my life.

Because my Mom taught me to trust myself, 

I believe in myselve,

I feel that I had achieved all my dreams. 

I feel that I can achieve more.

I feel happy and proud of myself

MY LITANY

You are the light and the sun,   

the darkness and the moon.   

You are the water on the dessert   

and the stars of the sky.   

You are the pen of the writer   

and the words suddenly flowing.   

However, you are not the character in the children history,   

the drawing on the famous picture,   

or the letter of book.   

And you are certainly not the colorful-blue sea.   

There is just no way you are the colorful-blue sea.   

It is possible that you are the shadow under the tree,   

maybe even the flower on the table,   

but you are not even close   

to being the fruit of a tree.   

And a quick look in the mirror will show   

that you are neither glass wine in the bar   

nor the sun falling late afternoon.   

It might interest you to know,   

speaking of the plentiful imagery of the world,   

that I am ride a horse in the meadow.   

I also happen to be the seed growing ,   

the fruits harvest,   

and the sand in the dessert.   

I am also the water in the river   

and the sweater’s kid.   

But don't worry, I am not the light and the sun.   
the darkness and the moon. 

You are still the light and the sun. 

the darkness and the moon.   

You will always be the light and the sun,

not to mention darkness and the moon .

TOLERANCE



Flowers resist the rain and the sun, the light and the darkness as a humanity should tolerate our differences.

Flowers protect themselves throught their strong roots, soft sheets and delicate petals as we should take care ourselves. 

Flowers growing between different flowers, trees and montains as man and woman should live.

IMAGINATION

IMAGINATION becomes a mermaid,
sourrounded by guitars and flowers,
jumping to obtain the sun and the moon

MY FAVORITE PLACE

My mother bought a little house in a town named Fusa. In that town my mother, grandmother, uncles, aunts, older brother and some of my cousins were born, but I never imagined that it could be my favorite place.  I remember when my brothers and I were children, my mother said to us,  “Hurry up! We are going to Fusa.” We wanted to escape because we didn’t like to go. After some years it has changed for us. Now, it is my favorite place. It’s the place where I have had the most memorable moments of my life.

              My mother is the oldest sister, but she is also the family leader.  Our most important celebrations at Fusa are Christmas and Easter week. My family from different parts of Colombia, go at this time. If every one of them can’t go, we miss him or her because those moments are special to all of us. Even though those are the most important celebrations, we also share different activities such a simple dinner, a game, listening to music or a good conversation. For me when I stay in Fusa a feel a big relax and peace. Fortunately, after a hard week of work, we used to go to Fusa.

When I started dating with my boyfriend, I told him “You need to know my Fusa home. It is not the US. It is a little house in a little town, but you will enjoy it”. I think that he was completely convinced by my words after he experimented it. I think for me and my family, Fusa is our favorite place.

I have attached some pictures from Fusa and of my home there. It is known for good cyclers, diversity of fruits and a famous sculpture of a native man standing at the entrance of it and for.
