During the summer I went to Costa Brava and despite the high temperatures I went on a hike from Palamós to Begur. When I arrived at Palamós I went to buy an ice cream before starting the route. Actually, it was the best ice cream I’ve ever taste.
Regardless of high temperatures, I didn’t bring much water with me and I nearly lost my life because when I was among I had a head stroke. Had I only known that this would happen I would have stayed at home and prepared myself for my entrance exam. This means that my career could be in danger because I haven’t dedicated enough time, and I also learned to always bring a big bottle of water with me. I was thinking a bit about this but I remembered I was near the beach so I went to have a swim in the sea.
Out of a sudden, a big while shark appeared. People were screaming because it had eaten a grandma. In fact, it wasn’t the first time that shark had been seen on that beach, so I tried to escape from it but it swam very fast. Unfortunately, it bit me and doctors had to amputate my left leg.
During the summertime Laura freak opportunity to work in a hotel chain in the United States. Laura is 25 years old and she is from Spain. Despite she studied biology she wanted to start a knew chapter in tourism. Actually she wanted to be the hotel manager but if she had known that she needs to learn so many things, she would’t have taken that decision. Even though she was so enthusiastic to be in the USA.

When she was finishing her studies, the covid pandemic started and from that point she realised that the degree would not have many professional opportunities.
