QUINCEAÑERA PARTY

A tradition from Latin America that keeps the world intrigued

About

My 15th birthday party was the happiest and the most hectic day of my life. Stress, scary, happy, unexpected and sad moment used to came into my mind every instant from the moment I woke up until the party that started at 9 pm. Technically, I was alone during the whole day because I had to stay with a lot of things in my y family

me! to go from one place to another, in and out from where the party was going to be held, I couldn’t even lie on my bed because it was uncomfortable. But when the moment arrived, was the most happy and thrilling moment of my life, the fact of seeing my mom and dad families together for me was the best feeling ever!.

THE DAY I STOPPED BREATHING (LITERALLY)

Is it possible for a peson to stop breathing for some seconds even minutes?

The title sounds a little fun and maybe intriguing to read, and in fact it is. This situation was something that happened unexpectedly but at the same time with the activity I was doing and at my age by then, there was the big possibility for it to happen. One day, I went to the park with my mom and some aunt and cousin to play and eat an ice-cream, By then I was 9 years old and I was exciting for wearing for the first time a pair of skates. In the parc there is a big tree in the center of it the floor was (and still is) slippery. One of the basic principles of skating is doing it by slouching a bit your body so you won’t fall back, but I was a kid, inexpert in the skating field and also not paying attention to my mom, so I fell and I hit my back so hard that I stop breathing because of the pain, fear and embarrassment. I lasted that way for 1 minutes ish, with little pats in the back I could breathe again… thanks to my mom.

FAMILY TRADITIONS

As a bond, family traditions keep alive the escence of what means to belong

We went to different little villages and towns all around Boyacá (I loved them all) where we appreciated all type of landscapes and also weathers (cold, rainy, sunny). Something that we did which I think was very cool and intriguing, was going to the places where my dad, uncle, aunts and grandparents were once and hear all the stories that happened which is a weird but at the same time thoughtful feeling. Some of those places are no longer there, or are used for another type of activities and the place where they used to stay is intact and still works as a type of inn (actually that is how it was called by then, an inn). I hope we can continue doing this type of trips to maintain this beautiful tradition that makes me feel happy and excited.

One of the most important traditions in my family is to go every year to Chiquinquirá. My dad told me that since he was little, my grandparents used to do trips to this place every year even twice a year and used to take all type of foods and also alcohol and used to go to church all together. Last september, me and my family did that trip, it was very fun.

INNER & OUTTER VOICES

How much insecurities and bullying can affect social skills and self-esteem?

In high school usually we all belong to groups, I was part of the quiet and shy students. My classmates used to do jokes about my body and although there were not as bad as others can be, it made me feel sad, depressed and even frustrated with my body. When the party season arrived, all of my girlfriends used to go out to parties and discos but I’d rather to stay at home, that way I wouldn’t feel judged, they all used to ask me why but I never spoke about how I felt. Even in the presentations and dances, I used to feel nervous and always used to quit it, stay “behind the scenes ” and do not participate. Even, my own friends looked at me with a judging face that made me feel more and more anxious and bad. Eventually, when I came out of high school and the pandemic started, season where we all where at home, was when I could reflect and learn to feel appreciation and love for myself, was a time that today I think and I feel that was needed for me. All schools and highschools should take more attention to the bullying cases.
