THE USUALLY ACCIDENTS IN COLOMBIA
Two
years ago in Colombia the weather was so bad because in rained so much. For
that reason the roads were in bad condition, many people had had a lot of
accidents including my family and I. I was traveling from Medellin to Bogotá
with my mother, my father, my nephew, my niece and me, when something happened.
The accident
was in june 2009. We were on vacation in Medellin, because my brother had got
married. My brothers were visited by us. When everything finished we returned
to Bogotá when we were on the road, my father lost control of the car. For that
reason we crashed with a tractor trailer when opened my eyes my first image was
to look at my father trapped in the car and my mother was crying and shouting. Camila´s
family was taken by the paramedics.
We arrived
to the town´s hospital but the attention was very bad, for that reason my
brothers arrived very fast and we went to the special hospital and there the attention
was very good because they made all the exams and they gave us diagnostic and
then the treatment was made by them, after 2 weeks my mother had had spine and
foot surgery and I should rest for 3 weeks because I had had whiplash but after
2 months all my family was very good.
We think
accidents are a problem in Colombia because people don’t comply and is not
respectful when driving. Also people should not drive when the weather is bad
or people should drive with caution to avoid serious accidents that usually
happen in Colombia and it can happen in other countries.

MISHAP IN THE STUDY
To be studying in Sabana University, causes
many changes in our lives, especially when you study physiotherapy, study this,
means sacrifice and sideline routines we had, class schedules are very long and
when you come to practice at the clinic or hospital, we have no time for
anything, not even to take lunch at the indicated times and all these factors
cause that my metabolism be altered an I gain weight. I had always weighed
45kg. at that moment my clothes looked fine and I felt so good, but always I
enjoyed eating hamburger, pizza, potatoes, chocolate and specially drinking so
much coke –cola. The last month I gain weight (9kg), my pants was broke by me,
the blouses didn’t close. I had no clothes, I felt sad, and my friends said that
I ate a lot of junk food and this is the cause of my problem.
One day I was with my friend watching the
soccer game, and Colombia won, for this reason the beer was bought by my
friends, everybody was happy until… the photo was taken by Karen, I looked at
that picture and I felt so bad because my face looked very fat! After looking
at the picture, my friends laughed at me, I was felt sad by the picture, and I
thing that was to lose weight… the lesson was learned by me.
The next week, I stayed in the university
talking to my friends: Karen, Andrea, Camila, Paola, Christian, Daniel and
Violeta, they told me I was overweight and that they wanted the best for me.
The clothes were bought by my friends and they said they would tell me how to
lose weight: The exercises routine was made by Karen, the diet was designed by
Andrea, the food was purchased by Violeta, the gym was paid by Christian and
Daniel, the recommendations were made by me Thanks to them and my friends could
get and ideal weight.
After the help I received from my friends now
just thinking about my health, and to maintain an appropriate physical
condition, so I follow the diet regimen, I exercise, I have better habits, and
most importantly care and I thank my friends they were there to help and
support me, to have people like them are worthwhile, so now I'm better than
ever, enjoy good health and good friends.
