But the strangest thing, the strangest thing, was what happened to me yesterday, July 5th. That day we had a room in a hotel called Ambassador Hotel, They will see that same night a certain Robert F. K. had finished giving a speech about a victory they had had in that same hotel, me and the others just didn't know anything else, we agreed to leave the next morning. But around 12:20 we heard shots and people screaming.

Since we were both in two different rooms we decided to stay Y no and just wait for everything to calm down, But I decided to go out and see what had happened. I couldn't see much because there were cameramen and police in the place, but with what I saw I knew that the candidate was probably wounded. After that rather shocking image I decided to go back to my room telling this Natalia and Xavier and from there we were interrogated by the FBI From there I met a guy Palmer, he was a young FBI detective who became interested and questioned us, but the strange thing is that he always looked at me with a very suspicious face.

After that night we continued with the usual thing of going to places in California Aah, what beautiful places they were, you know, I like life like this, being happy with friends and company in good and bad moments like this. 

One of those afternoons before going back to school I decided to think about a life goal 

1.First, become a great soldier like my father.

2. get married and be happy with a family

3.become a great company leader

4.to win some world-class prize

5.have great fame and be remembered for years

I know that these are very far-reaching goals for a young man like me, but it never hurts to dream big. I would be nervous if I was in the military and went to war with all that I think I would do I thought about all that I could have beenif I had never come here and if I had realized all the mistakes nothing makes me think that I would be a soldier in Vietnam. Or if I become another worker for a big company and work until I am replaced by someone new and ¡¡I die forgotten in a house!!

I think this is driving me a little crazy but the future is uncertain and ever changing because of what I thought my opportunities would be like...  First, I would have to give my best, the best without a doubt. Although I would have to do it for my other classmates because that is what good people do, I would also have to speak more than one language and know physics?

Exactly that night I went to sleep very happy but I had a new viceon in which the type of mediation -The toys will be the future! the toys!- I didn't give it any importance and decided to start learning Spanish and Portuguese, as well as to understand more about psychology and take on mini-assignments to earn more money.  

I know stories like Isaac Newton living his life trying to see science in physics.  And how can you be the one who "thinks the unthinkable" if that is what being great is all about? or Albert Einstein knowing that chemistry could make the world live or die or the Space Race between the United States and the Soviet Union that was in full swing. Young people followed the space missions with great enthusiasm, since each advance was considered a step towards victory in this technological and political competition, and the launch of Apollo 10 was seen as an important milestone to see or what if they ever created Apollo 11 wait why are you looking at me like this it's not like it's a movie right?...  right? 

I don't know why I thought this was going to be bad I'm Elliot and that's why I'm gonna be a great one in the world yeah Ooh yeah!
