The first time I went to London was by myself. I was 13 years old. What happened till then? It all started when I was in school. They had to pick the twelve people from the whole school, but not anyone, only the ones with the best English. And I was one of them. I was so happy and grateful. We all went to the airport in Barcelona, we were twelve. We had a teacher that came with us. I was ready to head off to London. So now you should be thinking, what will you do when you land? We arrived in London and got a bus towards the world championship BEO, celebrated in London. The school´s name is Christ´s hospital school.
There were several houses for each school, and each school had a name from harry potter. Our name was Gryfindor. To enter the house, you had to put a password, just like the movie. Fascinating. The next morning, when we woke up, we head off to the giant dining room, we ate so well. After having breakfast we had to prepare ourselves, we had competitions for two weeks. Some sort of them were: debate, speaking, presentation, speaking, dancing, etc.. We were so nervous. After having fun and fighting our opponents, it was time for the awards. We got one of them, it was one of the most significant. All the schools had to choose the group that has been more respectful, kind, and fare. And our country, Spain, got that award. After having these new experiences we also had great fun. We did tourism and parties. I visited the London eye, the big bang, the British Museum and went to a wonderful theatre. As I said, these new experiences changed my way of perceiving things. I realized how important is to be self-conscious. After doing all these competitions, I knew much more English, got new friends, culture, etc.. I would love to repeat and have this new experience over and over.
