As I hear the word "war" rapidly comes to my head the Vietnam War occurred during 20th century specifically in the years 1955-1975. It is recognized to be a very traumatic event for American history. The purpose was to defeat the American army and unleash a series of protests which at that time were very common. During those years the famous hippies were found, the only thing they wanted was peace between nations and defended their homeland because of the great love they had. Furthermore this cause the government to lose a lot support thus ensuring a clash of forces. The two band were national courts vs Communists and anti-Communist forces that were supported by the United States. This war was a very strong impact worldwide. Killed more than 50,000 people from both sides and it was a war of that lost a lot of blood. Of all the historical events that I have studied over the years, this has been the one that has most shaped my life, I see myself as a very liberal person that love my country. That is why "the war of flowers" as it is also called, caught my attention... In my opinion the wars are not necessary, violence between nations just with the purpose to seek or acquire only a political or economic power has no need for war. God gave us the words to clarify the conflict between ideas and thus reach a point where they both agree in some point.
I still remember your big brown eyes, and that long big smile that you had when you enter a room. I still cant forget your heavy white figure, your beautiful hard working hands that only by seeing them you could see how dedicate to your goals you were. I close my eyes right know and hear the sound of your voice whispering in my ear "Granddaughter, you're beautiful, you look like me, be a good girl". Those great advises that you give accompanied with long talks in your car. Always with your jokes, tickles and grimaces, making me smile no matter what. In the blink of an eye the age came over you, the walking began to slow down as forgiving the wind. I start to worry myself that one day you would never going to wake up. Wherever you are "mi viejo" I want it you to forget that I love you because it was you, that little piece of heaven that God gave me. I wanted you to stay a little longer ... but you had a mission to perform. I remember those dinners that we always share together, just amused by the exchange of glances. Between us there was not need for much talking, the hugs and handshakes spoke for themselves.
In December 22, 2008 you left, I remember how the world fell on me. Thousands and thousands of people came to visit you and the only thing that I heard that they say was " Thanks for everything". You were a man with such a strong character, but at the same time witty and beautiful with a huge soul. You won the affection of everyone. I thank you for being part of me, for letting me know you, and for making me the woman I am today. Wherever you are I know you lead me and I carry you in my mind and heart. I would never forget your words, tender touch and pure love. You knew the perfect way to say goodbye. I love you and miss you every day, like crazy. I would never forget you
Happiness is defined as a state of mind that humans enjoy what you want with satisfaction, joy and contentment. What gives me this feeling on me are my friends and my family. Every day I spend with them I feel complete and alive. There is nothing better than having them on your side. Because they understand and help me when I need them the most. Every time I close my eyes I see memories, activities and moments we spent together.
With most of my friends I took almost a lifetime. But I always say, no matter the quantity but the quality of people that I have by side. As for my family I consider them my all because in times of loneliness they are always there to give me the best advice. I thank God for giving me these wonderful people. For the passing of the years,regardless of distance or circumstance, they will be there for me as for them. Here you will see a photo of my greatest treasure, my family and friend.
Hey! My name is Roxanne and I am a very outgoing woman. Since I was a little girl I've consider myself versatile. I have practiced a number of sports as well as volleyball, soccer, track and field, gymnastics, yoga, surfing, scuba diving, cheerleader, dancing, taekwondo, swimming and even modeling for a few years. Thanks to this I live fascinated with extreme things, and nature. Maybe belonging to the Girls Scout movement since I was 4 years old influenced in how I think. My favorite place to be its wherever there's water. I love to feel of the breeze brushing my face and the sun whipping my pupils.
