The Poppins |
It has been
an intensive day, in fact, it has been the last day and although she has tried
to do a normal class, it has been impossible because the last day is always a
special day, a day plenty of feeling, emotions and hidden confessions. She was
very proud of every member of that unforgettable family. They remembered her
when she was younger and tried to study English and suffered a lot to
understand her teacher, his cassettes, his listening. How many times she
thought that she wasn’t going to learn this language? How many hours studying
the same and understanding nothing? How
many failed exams? How many bad days? Too many, perhaps, but she was lucky to
find a person who believed that she could do it.
She crossed
the little space which separated the classrooms and the reception and entered
in it. She always had a big smile for the receptionists. A course is the result
of the effort of a lot of people and you must be pleasant with them because
they’re attending you every day and offering their best to help you. The receptionist
smiled in a funny way and asked her about her presents while she was showing
them to her. They were incredibly made by heart. She hadn’t had enough words because
she was astonished and she didn’t know what to say.
She had a
meeting with her boss, a wonderful woman with a great sense of humour,
something very important to survive nowadays. They talked about the course and
about the future. She was very thankful with all the coordinators of the centre
because when she had nothing, they trusted on her.
She left the
centre without knowing if she was going to return someday but happy with the
success of the last courses. By the way, she found another Poppins and they were
talking during some minutes before she took her car and drove home.
An
incredible feeling of sadness invaded her. She was going to miss The Poppins.
They had been her perfect family during more than three months and she had met strong
and wonderful people.
She is very shy.
She doesn’t like talking but listening. She loves poetry and music. She doesn’t
understand anything but accept it. She hates intolerance and tries to survive
in the middle of an understandable world. She thinks that you must fight your
future. She thinks that you can arrive, if you believe in it. She knows that life
is a game and you must play your best cards. She trusts in The Poppins. She
trusts in them in the same way that some years ago someone trusted in her. We
only need a little of external trust, we are able to offer all the rest.
She’s
Carmen; she’s Cristina, she’s Eli, she’s Esther, she’s Irina, she’s Isa 1st,
she’s Isa 2nd, she’s Jennifer, she’s Laura, she’s Lulú, she’s Núria, she’s
Saharay, she’s Susana and she’s Tonyi. She’s the sum of all of them because we’re
all connected.
We are the
champions, my friends,
And we'll keep on fighting 'til the end.
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions of the world.
And we'll keep on fighting 'til the end.
No time for losers
'Cause we are the champions of the world.
