LAURA
Laura
Martínez Rodríguez was a student of the IES Mediterráneo. She was born on the
26th August of 2000, in Cartagena. She grew up there.
Laura was
very friendly and nice, and a brilliant student (she almost got tens!). She
also had a blog (The Orange Box. In Spanish, La
caja naranja) where she posted her life. The blog is very, very good and
very interesting (it has over twenty three thousand visits!!!).
When she was
a child, the doctors detected cancer in her bones. She was
very ill, but she recovered. She was very brave and fighter. She was very
funny, too.
I didn´t meet her a lot, but I remember the
first day of classes last year, I played basketball with her. I didn´t pass the
ball, so she invented a song saying: “Javi Barceló, pass me the ball!”. And she
sang it every day to me!
Unfortunately,
she got ill again in the middle of the course, and she
had to stop going to school. We got very sad, and we received news about
her from her friends
and teachers who went to see her. We made presents to her, and she wrote
to us!
Finally, sadly, the illness won
and she died on the 12th of February of 2014, and all the
class got very ,very sad, but we will never
forget her!
