A false accusation

If I was accused unfairly of something, depending on who had accused me, or the impact that such accusation could have in my life, I would either ignore the whole thing, or clean my reputation at any cost. Or maybe, just maybe, if I know that I am wright, even though the hypothetical accusation has no impact in my life, I would prove them wrong just for my own pleasure. I mean, I am not that kind of person, but since they are messing with me, well… I believe it has to do with choosing your battles, of course. Why would you waste your time and energy in something that is not relevant at all? Why would matter to you to an accusation thrown by a narrow-minded person? On the other hand, sometimes with affairs regarding your person/reputation, you just can´t let things happen. It is not wether you are thick-skinned or not. It is just for mere principles.

Since “I was doing something with my life”, my parents were, let´s say, pleased. Of course they were not, but they wouldn´t mess with my life, either. After some time, my little sister was born, and before a year went by, my grandma, who had raised me, passed away. I was shocked and jolted. I went over my life and I made up my mind: it was time to study again and finish what I had started. I took the exam to get enrolled at UNAM, and even though ...

Why I am here.

Why am I here...? A simple question, not so simple to answer. Moreover, depending on the day, I could give you quite different answers. If we focus only on why I am studying English and not other language, I could tell you that I am the kind of person who likes to finish what he or she begins. It is not that I am not interested at all in learning other languages, it is just that by the time English has my whole attention. I would like to add that for me, English is an absolutely necessary tool to face the world. I´m studying English at ENALLT because I am enrolled at UNAM, and for us who are alumni at UNAM, we can study languages at practically no cost. And besides from that, in my not so long experience here, I have always had splendid courses at ENALLT. Right now I am not looking forward to get a certification in English, but I am trying to perfect my English trough the courses I have taken. I am aware that my English is not so good, although I think this brings me a step clo...
