What's one thing you're proud of?



At the doors of the new year, it is necessary to think about the things we achieved, the goals we conquered, the bad habits we broke up, the new friendships, and the successful histories we'll remember in the coming years.


Often we use to think only of our faults, the flaws and unfortunate events that marked us in this year, we can't neglect that this not has been my most successful year in terms of achievements, despite that I can't look away from the things now I will proud to tell you.


Despite not getting a scholarship, this year I could advance to a new stage in the selection process, besides that, I could obtain new recommendation letters, signs from my former bosses and teachers, and stamps that verify my experience. I homologued my papers and translated my grades and college degree. This was the year in which I applied most to scholarship programs.


I maintained good physical condition, and despite the weather and other external circumstances, I continued practicing my exercise routine regularly. I'm proud to finish this year having reached this goal and having run 15km in a single workout before the year ends.


I keep practicing English now as part of my customary life, I have been incorporating it into my day-to-day practice, and even did an entire course as an interpreter this year.


This was not in my plans when I made my 2023 list, but this year I believe that was the year I consumed less alcohol since I finished college. Although I am not a social drinker, I have to admit from time to time, I drink more drinks than usual, especially on holidays.


After fifteen years of living in my room, I decided to move on to a new one, now I have more space, it has more light, it's cozy, and is well-ventilated.

Working life has introduced me to a whole spectrum of folks, spanning different ages and backgrounds. It's fascinating how age can influence the dynamics within a group. Back in college, my peers were typically within the same age range as me, roughly 20 to 25. But stepping into the workforce erased that age barrier entirely.  In my interactions, I've noticed some distinct patterns. The younger crowd tends to wear their hearts on their sleeves, valuing ideas and relationships above all else. On the flip side, the older and mid-life crew often prioritize climbing the career ladder and accruing material success. Bosses come in all shapes and ages too. Seasoned veterans bring a calm, empathetic vibe to the table, having seen it all before. On the other hand, the millennial bosses I've encountered can be a bit more... fiery. They're quick to react and slow to forgive, making them a bit of a challenge to work with. Sure, millennials might be shaking things up and spearheadin...

Another trip twelve years later

It has been a while since I finished high school, those were some of the best moments I have ever lived, my high school had a vast surface extension, many buildings and sections, and many classrooms crowded with hundreds of students. There, I studied for almost six years, I met good friends, some love and splendid moments that bring me a smile each time I recall. I never thought I missed my time there, when I was a teenager I swore I'd never turn back my sight to that place, now twelve years later I come back to the place that built me as a person. Last weekend, I had to work as an assistant for the referendum election in my country, as the last time I worked in the same position, I already knew what that job meant. To my surprise, the place was my old high school. I felt a nostalgia mixed with foreignness, I was part of that place for many years, but I felt like a stranger when I came back, many places were stagnant in time. I could visit my first classrooms just to find they were...

Prioritizing my to-do list

Since I started to document and follow my routine, endless things undone have reminded me that I need to make them time because they are also important. This feeling generates a guilty sentiment and anxiety for not giving them enough attention. But how do I prioritize among many significant things? Doing exercise is important, eating healthy too, studying and applying for jobs are equally important, but what receives more attention? what is not essential? This situation of deciding what requires more attention has put me in a challenging situation. Do I need to sacrifice my exercise routine to study more? What if I focus only on one thing at a time? While I worked my English routine decreased, and my motivation to study too, because as I mentioned before I was putting more time into either working or exercising. I thought I would have more time to do many things when I was younger, but the reality was different. Being an adult means you need to put some dreams aside if you want to avoi...
