LAURA AND HER STORY


Laura was born in Cartagena in 2000. She grew up happy, doing the things that she liked, until she came down with cancer. The doctors first diagnosis was when she was only ten, in 2011. She was under chemotherapeutic treatment and physical therapy for a year, and she and her family thought she had overcome the illness. She started lessons again, at secondary school in September 2012, but a few months later the illness returned, and Laura fought strongly against that monster. During the time Laura couldn't attend classes, teachers from our high school went to her house to teach her, and when she was in hospital she also received lessons. Teachers from the hospital suggested her to make a blog in order to help other children with the same illness. The blog is called "La caja naranja" (The orange box), and everybody who has visited it can know the kind of person Laura was.

She was strong and tenacious, cheerful and optimistic, open-minded, loyal with her friends, calm and probably the best person on the surface of the Earth. She fought until the end, always with a smile on her face and a pencil in her hand. She was always supported by the friendship of 2nd ESO B. She missed us during these years, and now we are going to miss her...

OUR STAY IN AMPOSTA

From the 20th to the 26th of October, our class (2ยบ B) went to a camp in Amposta, Tarragona, called "Amposta Parc".
On the first day we travelled about 8 hours to arrive at Amposta! It was horrible. But when we got there we played a funny game with the other class. They were from Madrid.
On Monday we went to a wind farm and we saw a lot of wind turbines. After lunch, we worked on a project about renewable energies.
On Tuesday we played a game that looked like the Olympics. Then we made mini-bonsais with copper wires. At night, we did jokes and we laugh a lot.
The fourth day in Amposta we went to a rice field. After lunch, we went on a bike ride, and at night, we danced.
On Thursday it was Yago’s birthday, and we gave him some presents. After that we went to the beach. At night we played a game in which we had to sing, dance, say names of animals…

On Friday, we showed our projects and PowerPoint presentations. At night, there was a big good farewell party, and we danced a lot.
