It is very good news

my mother did not have the money to pay

the treatment and no club wanted

bet for me how to go from being in

the best moment of your life

just do not do anything to not fit

in the place that you most wanted

this was the beginning of a great

increasing depression and there each

down again during this whole process

the lack of money was present in

my home

why my mother had to

change from a private school to one

state

it was there where I felt close what is

the bullying

maybe because the new one is the new

come the different

there were many kids trying to

make him feel bad about humiliating me but not

I allowed it began to join with the

school gangs

that’s where discovering what is the

crime in weapons drugs

fights I felt good being inside

a gang felt protected me

I felt like a family

I felt that I had power being inside

during the gang I saw many things

since they use drugs and sell it

before me I also fail to sell it to

be at school quiet and that of

one moment to another come someone put him

a gun in the head and threats

I was very afraid to go back to school

I can say that I go through very

intense to be 16 years old to be in

a shooting and that a friend fails to

my side

the gang felt I had everything

he had protection he had family

it is assumed that the gang that gives power

people are afraid but they knew

I was afraid inside but not afraid

for me I was afraid to leave a

older brother had won minor and a

younger brother to my older brother since

every time I put more into the

gang lost control of me until

get to the point of hitting a teacher

at school until the day arrived or

as I say

the day was in the micro and of a

moment to another

he heard the whistles they call

completely attention to your returns already

fully to see what was happening and saw

a boy turn on the head track

was at that exact exact moment in the

that I fall completely in love with what

is the break and of course at that moment

I did not know what was called breaking

I only knew that I was

completely in love with what was

seeing

when I wanted to react to get off the

micro

the driver was making a career with

another micro but it was not removed

the desire to want to learn I arrived

to my house and started looking in

internet what I had seen since I did not

I knew it was called break and I started

search

boy who turns head on the track

or boy turning on Peruvian tracks

there were many things but it came out

but more and I did not have to practice

what I had fallen in love with

still being in love with break and

I kept walking with the gang until

an anniversary of a school district

we went to spend some time

We were on the stairs smoking and

there came a time when I had the

grass or side and just turned around

and bbva the same guy thrown head

on the stage of my school is a

signal and when those signals appear

is when you should choose had the drug

one side and the boy was spinning

head was my time to decide what

know what he wanted for me so I

I went around here, it runs too fast

waiting for it to come down and when it came to

down I said please please

it would gather in the day or month more for

to be able to help her in the move, a

day on which I wanted to fight and

remove any boy but I did not know

that he was not any boy was the

better at the time in that place what

I challenged by hand

I approached him I shook his hand and said

thank you very much and he congratulated me and

invited to be part of that group or as

we call it subscribe

completely cheerful I was accomplishing

something new when I started dancing

I had not realized that the

guys from the gang were behind

mine looking at me what I was doing was

walking they came to congratulate me for

what they had seen for what they had

achieved inside he began to feel

well because I was leaving that world

I had a dream reason but my

Heart also knew that they

they also wanted to get out of that world

but he only needs what he already had

a reason a reason that makes

get out of that world that I got it with

the dance I know they can

achieve it when the destination wants to bring

good things for you conspire so that

all that happens

the guys who know the move well

they were part of the company and the

school of the cultural association of

one of vania farmhouses they warned of

that there was going to be a casting in which

they were going to leave for three months three months or

is not to support any class

more and they told me they were giving everything

so I just found out about that

he started training every day and

the nights beyond in the mornings and

I trained at night and the day arrived

of the casting can not sleep much

I picked up very early and also the

first micro that appeared and until the

place and I saw a sea of ​​people

hundreds of young people with their parents or

some family member accompanying them

even so I dedicated myself to enter and give my

data gave me my number

the 521 how many people from above

the first stage of the casting was to continue

a choreography

happily the phase the second part was

make a free style dance alone in front

of the jury

while I was in the queue I saw many

guys pass in front of me doing

Spinning twists totally amazing is

something that at that time I still do not

I was learning but still decided I was and

he started dancing

I felt like he is doing well

I felt I could do it

I felt that I was going to fulfill a dream and

moment after moment I fell and I felt

when I fell Aztec and all my

dreams on top of me

I just stood up and signed

I was listening to the winning numbers

each step was a new winner when

the door was coming and to give the

last step

I listen and 521 and for the second time

I ran too fast while

I ran on stage I felt like I was

achieving a dream see reflected the

image of my mother and my sisters my

head

formed the person that I am now
