MY BIOGRAPHY
BY MANUELA GUISANTES VILANOVA
My name is Manuela Guisantes Vilanova and I am going to write my biography.
I was born in Sano Domingo (Dominican Republic) on August 1 and now I am thirteen years old. My mother's name is Milagros Amparo Vilanova Capellán and my father's name is Manuel José Guisantes Ravelo. My mother was born in Santo Domingo too and her birthday is on January 25. My father was born in A Guarda, a village of Galicia, and his birthday is on January 6. They met in Santo Domingo when my mother was dancing flamenco in a Spanish Club called Casa de España and a friend of my mother presents him. Later, they were boyfriends and they get married.
When I was eleven months, more or less, I travelled with my mother to A Guarda to met my father's family. The only thing I know more corious is how I learn to walk. My uncle gave me a little chair and I walked with that around the house. So, one day, I walked with out the chair and I was thinking I was walking with the chair, when my uncle watchs me in this moment, he shouted: She learns, she learns!
When I was two or three years old, my mother inscribe me in the Pre-Escolar Pasitos. I am the girl in to the circle, yes, I think the same thing, I was like a boy with this hair.
I have an anuary about mines classmates and me about us when we were in the school from two to five years old. In my page my teachers tells about me: She is a responsable and loving girl. Excelllent classmate, but always when they do the things she said. At the moment to work, she trying to be perfeccionist and this cuality permits do an excellent job. We are sure you can conquist your news teachers how you do it with us. For her excellent completed work, she wins the MEDAL OF EXCELLENCE.
I remember somethings about what I do in the Kinder Garden: we learn English, we draw a lot, we wrote our names, we do an experiment (it consist in put a bean inside some cotton in a flask and then increase a plant, but my plant did not increase because I did not pour water), we had a small talk about how clean our teeth, we did a pyjama party, we did a halloween party, we celebrate birthdays, we put our costumes of Diablo Cojuelo on Carnival Day, we played the flutes, we went to excursion to the zoo and to the beach.
Between my stances in this school, I do other things, for example, I get classes of flamenco with my mother, because she was flamenco's teacher in Casa de España, but later I left the classes because I don't like flamenco's music. And I travelled to other country for summer holidays, I went to Puerto Rico. I remember littles things of this travelled, one of those things was I bought a Barbie with brown hair, but when I come back my cousin Miguel broke her head and he buried it in the garden. I cried a lot.
Before my graduation, my parents got divorce and my mother and I went to go to live with my grandparents and I stay with my father on Sundays.
Next up my graduation, I went to a primary school called Colegio Santa Teresa. This School it's a private school of nuns. My best friends were Carmen, Lisa and Leti in the school. I stay in this school only three years, because I translate to Spain when I was nine years old. In this school, I was form part of the chorus school, we sang all the mornings, because before the classes started, we pray some oration, we sang some religious song and we sang the national anthem of our country and the anthem of the school.
In the school there are a lot of normal classrooms, speciality classrooms (English classrooms, laboratories of biology and physic, computers room), the cafetery, the gym, an auditarium, a church, a little book-store and a library.
When I was six or seven years old I went to Samana (It is a state of Dominican Republic with precious beachs) for my birthday with my cousins Sebastian and Carmelo, with their mother and my mother. We stayed in a maravillous hotel, because it was different al the rest, because the rooms were one for one in differents cabins! The pool was very big and in the middle it had a cocktail bar. The restaurant food was delicious, and my cake was more! My cake was of chocolate and mashmellow.
In the same year, I went again to Samana, but on Christmas with my mother, my cousins Miguel and Luis and my grandmother. We went to celebrate his parting to New York. I remember our travel on boat to an island that it was ahead the hotel. The beach of the island was precious, but more was de dolphins we can watch in the water! But the thing I cannot forget is how my cousin Miguel broke my mouth with his water glasses, I bled a lot, but it doesn't matter, because I eat the soup of lunch with a straw!
The next year, I travelled to New York on summer holidays with my grandparents, but we travelled for a more important thing, we went because my grandmother was going to operate the breast cancer. We stay in New York a little time, because the operation was going to be in a town of Maine, where my cousin (he is a doctor) was going to do the operation. But for other way, I was very happy because I was with my cousins Gerald, Alison and Nicole.
My cousin's house was spectacular. When you go in, you are in the hall and the stairs. You go to right and it is the dining room and next it is the kitchen (wow what kitchen), you go straight and it is the living room. In the living room are a table, the sofas and big TV, it was like a little cinema. I remember when my cousins and I ate pop corn watching someone film or when we play to GameCube. On the first level there are the bedrooms and the bathrooms. There are four bedrooms and two or three bathrooms. On the basement they keep the firewood for the winter and they have a lot of things to play: they have a ping-pong table, a little class of gym, a lot of table-games, etc. And in the garden they have an elastic bed.
The next year was my last escolar year in Santa Teresa; because I was go to translate to Spain. I pass this summer in Galicia with my father and his future wife, Marinés. We travelled to Portugal and many cities of Galicia. Next, my father brings me with my mother to Navalmoral de la Mata.
In Navalmoral, my mother tries to inscribe me in the school Nuestra Señora de Gualadalupe Hnos. Maristas, but she preefrs inscribes me in the Colegio El Pozón because it was near our house, but there were not many sites for more students. Finally, my mother inscribes me in the Colegio Campo Arañuelo.
I started to live in a new country, in a new town, in a new school, with news teachers and classmates.
I started the school in fourth grade B of primary, my teacher's name was Mrs. Paqui and she teachs me Spanish, Maths and Ciences Naturals-Socials. I love that teacher because she was very good teacher, but my other favourite teacher was and is my English teacher, Inmaculada, because I love English and this language it is like my second form to talk with my family of USA. When I started school I had a new subject for me, music. I did hate music, because I do not understand any, absolutly any, I do not know play the flute before and now. But it changes now.
My best friends in my new school were Miriam, Tamara, Alba and Lara. But I get on with my other classmates.
This summer holidays I travelled to Santo Domingo to visit my father, my friends and my grandparents. I celebrated my tenth's bitrthday with my friends Lisa, Carmen and Leti on the pool of Casa de España. We ate some pizza and chocolate cake. We had fun playing in the water and in the park's games.
Some days after my birthday, we celebrated my father's married with Marinés. I was the godmother and Marinés's son, Joan, was the godfather.
. He is son of my mother and her husband. He is little, he has the same eyes I have and brown hair. He is very, but very very naughty. He was born on November 13 2006.
But the next year my little sister Micaela was born too! She is daughter of my faher and his wife. She is little, she is a little blond and redhead and her eyes are brown like me. She was born on March 20 2007.
The next escolar year I celebrated my First Communion. I don't do the Communion with my classmates because they were in the second year of Catechesis when I was one the first year. To my Communion my Godmother comes, my grandmother, my uncle of Ponferrada, etc.
This summer holiday I went to Sevilla and I stayed with a friend of my mother, Manoli. She lives with her husband and her sons, Ángel y Paula. We went to Lepe to the beach and we went to a town of Huelva and we watch a cave of stalagmites and stalactites.
High School. This last year in Carnival Party the students of the third circle we put on costumes of cavemen. The party of the end of school all of my classmates and I went to our classroom and we started to cry because we don't want go to a new school and separate one with the rest.
I want to go to the the High School Augustóbriga, because all of my friends was going to this High School, but how there wasn't anymore sites for more students, I went to the High School Albalat.
This summer I did not go to any where for holidays. I stayed in Navalmoral with my family, but my mother went to New York to bought somethings for her new store, but two years after, she closed the store because she did not have some money.
This year I started High School and I had a friend in my class, Aurora. I met her in school, because she was friend of my classmates. So, I sat with her and any teacher separated us because we were goods students.
This scolar year my best friends were Aurora and Lorena. I met Lorena in summer holidays in the pool and she was in my same class. I was and now in the bilingual group.
My tutor was Mr. Marcial and he teaches us Spanish. He is an excellent teacher and he is one of my favourite teachers. This year he was going to be our tutor again, but he cannot because the Secretary put us other tutor, Nuria. She teachs Maths and she teach us Math the last year.
I thought start High School was be difficult, because you start in a school for teenagers and there are more subjects and there are very difficult, but when you start to study and do the homework, there are easy!
My High School is little. It has a lot of classrooms, specials clasrooms (laboratories, audiovisuals room, etc), the cafetery, the gym, the football and basketball court, the library, the “Rincón de Lectura”, the secretary, the departments, etc.
In my High School we celebrate the day of our high school and every year there are differents topics. For example, the last year the topic was “70's Years”, and there are differents activities and competitions: competitions of doors (all of the classes need to decorate their door about the term of this year, for example, the last year we decorate our door class about The Pink Panther), differents workshops, competitions of sing or dance, etc. And the people wins some activity, they recibes some prize.
And we do many excursions, for example, the last year the bilingual group travelled to London for four days. I did not go to London because this summer I went to New York.
For this summer holidays I travelled to New York and I stayed two months in my uncle house. I am not going to forget this summer, because I think it will be my best summer holiday.
I went to Statue of Liberty, to Manhattan, to Central Park, to Coney Island (to the amusement park and to the beach), to the pool of the neighborhood, we did a familiar reunion in the park and we did a barbecue, to ride our bikes to the park, to the Central Park Zoo, and I take classes of MMA with my cousins.
My second year in High School, in the bilingual group again, more or less tthe same teachers (Marcial, Mariví, Inma, Gemma and Mariam), but new friends.
I change my friends for best people and they think like me and we have more or less the sames likes and dislikes.
My first news friends are Marta and Elena. I know them from the bilingual group. I know they are good girls and we were more or less friends the last year. I tell they about why I change my friends and they think I do the best thing. They present to me their friends. They are from the Maristas School and I think they are very sympathetics. They names are: Noelia, Jenny, Ana, Mery, Lourdes, Ana Isabel and Nathalie. We have a “peña” called MLS. Oh, I cannot forget her. Silvia now is my friend too. She comes from High School Augustóbriga and she has not got any friends and she is our friend.
The things I like change too this new year, now I love more than before rock (I always love rock, because I increase with this music, because my father love rock music) and my favourite music group of rock is Paramore. My favourites colors are black, white, blue and red. My love for Convers does not change and never can it change.
This year in High School I am member of Library Group, and this year we won the second prize of the competition of classroom doors and I won the first prize of the “Comic Competition” and my prize was a comic called “Death Dealer”.
This year we don not do an excursion for the bilingual group because we do an exchange with Germany. I did not travel to Germany because my mother does not let me travel to Germany, but I am going to receive a germany girl in my house. She's name is Ketzia (I think her name it writes like it). Marta and Elena tell me she is very agradable.
This summer I am going to travell with my father, his wife and my sister to Galicia to visit his family and to travel to some cities of Galicia.
I think the next year is going to be more difficult, because I am going to start third grade of ESO.
Everything
will continue
