Part. 1 Gina´s dream
When one of my dreams became true
When I was a child I was a very ordinary girl, I enjoyed playing with my dolls
and friends, I used to ride the bicycle twice a week, and of course, I loved
plenty of candies. I didn´t have any brother or sister, but happily, I had many
cousins who were like my brothers. I had a wonderful dog whose name was
Tintin; we used to play a lot each day.
My grandmother loved festivals; she usually participated in the dancing
group, she taught us some dances. We performed several times in the
Church´s and school’s festivals.
I remember very well that one day, while we were dancing, it began to rain
very heavily. At the beginning we didn´t know what to do, but we continued
dancing.
It was a wonderful experience and from that moment on, I realized that
festivals bring people together and that they are really an expression of
ourselves; they bring happiness to the community.
I was only 7 years old when I had a dream. I wanted to be a member of
a cultural group and share my Mexican traditions with people all over the
world.
After 10 years, my dream became true.
