THE POPPINS: BORN TO WIN

Sant Boi de Llobregat

Today, The Poppins are closing their circle. It started last April and during these months they have been working very hard to improve their English. They have created a big and unforgettable family and, obviously, they will continue their lives across different paths returning to the beginning and reconnecting with their dreams and proposals again.

The Grandma is preparing her summer holidays in Andorra, her hometown. She’s very proud of the Poppins and she knows, because she lived the same situation, that days like today seem very hard and difficult but they’re exciting because the most important is arriving to the exam and do it. This is the real prize, this is the fantastic triumph and this is the real meaning of this family: do things because we can do them, don’t resign in front of difficulties and don’t give up. Never give up.

We don’t know anything about our closer future but we can guess that it will be difficult, as difficult as it was for other generations but if they survived, we are going to do it, too. 

Some centuries ago, some little villages and towns started to grow up along an important and brave river: the Via Rubricatus. This Latin name was adopted because of the red colour of its water. One of these little towns became very popular and famous because of its natural beauty and the importance of its Roman terms. Years later, the city was an important site during the Succession War in the 18th Century and nowadays is recognized for being the Antoni Gaudí’s testing ground that helped him to create his wonderful buildings. The city is the result of a mix of cultures, like all its country, a directly consequence of growing up between the Via Augusta and the Via Rubricatus. 

Perhaps, some people know its famous doctor who battles against cancer day by day, its historical rugby player who practised this sport for the first time in the town, its popular fashion designer or its two famous NBA players but the History, in capital letters, will write that this city was the hometown of The Poppins, an intelligent, brave and funny family that has become unforgettable.

Come on Poppins! We have born to win!
