You can´t imagine how many people tries to save money each day to buy their most wanted things. When I was a little kid around four and five years old I was one of that people who saved money for his dreams, my dream was to have a two hundred Lego pieces Darth Vader from Star Wars. I was and I am addicted to Lego stuff so having that super big Darth Vader was more than a dream was a goal that I wasn’t going to surrender until achieve it. My dad didn’t want to buy it to me because he told me that was a very hard thing to build so he thought it would be a waste of money because I wasn’t going to be able to do it. I was very mad at my dad because he didn’t trust in me; well actually I was also sad because of that lack of trust by my dad. Like many times in my life things will be done by me. It was hard for a five year old kid to search for money and save it until I reached the price of the Lego that it was seventy dollars, something very expensive for me at that age. The most complicated part was to search for the money in a good way, not stealing like others. My only idea or plan at that moment was to ask my mother for the money, but as my dad she didn’t wanted to give it to me. When that happened my hopes never went down, my second plan was to keep the money I didn’t spent when I went to buy food at the mall or in a restaurant, even though I didn’t wanted to do it because it was type of steeling to my parents but I didn’t had no choice. I did that for many time you can´t imagine how many money I was still missing to get to the half of the goal. Time passed, I did that for around two months and it wasn’t enough so I could reach to the seventy dollars. I dreamed every day of having in my hands that thirty centimeters tall Darth Vader, feel the emotion of finishing it and prove everyone that I could do things people thought I couldn’t. After the days passed by and after I gave all my effort to earn the money I reached forty dollars, that was a very good advance. When my dad saw how hard I was working to finally do something by my own, he realized how much I wanted it so he changed his mind and gave me the money in a not particularly way. Instead of just giving me the thirty dollars at once he gave me more money when I went for food, instead of giving me only fifty quetzals he gave me one hundred quetzals so I reached my goal faster. In my opinion it was better that because it motive me to still wanted it more and I learned thanks to that, that not always in life I was going to get or receive things that easy.
Finally some months later after starting my plan of earning money I reached my goal that was getting the money. When I was already in the climax of excitement because I finally was going to get my new way of getting entertained for at least one day. We bought it in internet so it took a week to come but that waiting time was worthy every single second. With this I learned that in life things won’t get as easy as it looks, you´ll have to work hard sometimes to get what you want. My Darth Vader was in my hands one Friday I can remember because I spent the weekend doing it. Now at days I still have my figure, when I look at it, it remembers me how hard is for people sometimes to get what they want but if you don’t surrender you will get it.
