Sometimes people tell me “do not take things like that” “do not take things too seriously”, “it is only football”, “you are wasting a lot of your time only on football”. Those people do not realise the distance I have covered, the time I have spent or the hours which are required to play this sport.
Some of my proudest moments have taken place just because of this sport. Many hours have gone by and my only companion has been football. Some of my saddest moments have been caused because of my hobby and during those days of darkness, the gentle touch of a football made me feel comfortable.
The reason why I try to overcome the everyday situations and problems, I would say, is because of “football”. Because of this sport I get up very early in the morning and I go to bed very late in the evening. Therefore, for me and people like me, this hobby is not just a hobby it is the combination of all your dreams in life, past memories and the joy of the present moment.
So next time you hear the phrase: it is “Just Football”, just smile because they do not understand anything about it.

Nearly everybody is going to driving classes at the moment because they want to sit for the exam before the summer holidays. Many students at school are already eighteen, so they will be able to drive their much awaited cars and go on holiday with their friends without depending on anyone else.
This year is a very difficult one nevertheless; it is like many others as you have to study a lot. However, there is always a reward. I have been waiting to have a car for a very long time and I hope to pass my driving test very quickly in September so that I can go out with my friends to parties or places which are new and far away in my car but always controlling the situation!

In a very short period of time we will have finished our classes at the institute. The time has come when we will have to concentrate ourselves on our studies because the final exams are very important for our future studies and the possibility of going to university. If people have not taken things too seriously throughout the year, they still have the possibility to pass these exams with a lot of effort and studying. This is something that many people have never done in their lives before! Nevertheless, these two weeks will be the hardest ones for some and for others selectivity will be the worst part. When all our exams have finished and all our worries have disappeared, we will not have to think about studying for a few months and we will be able to enjoy our summer holidays as we have never done before.

I recently went on a school trip to celebrate the fact that my school companions and I are about to finish this school year and our last year at secondary school. It was a fantastic time for all of us in the Canary Islands. We spent the days relaxing, playing games… We all enjoyed ourselves and forgot about school for a short while, getting ready for our final exams which we will have to pass in the following two weeks.
As the days went by we had time to get to know one another better especially those companions with whom we had had very little relationship. When you go on holiday with your friends, everything goes well, but it is a pity that time flies! Nevertheless, it will be an experience which we will always remember and cherish throughout our lives.
