The biggest disappointment in my life happened when I was 11 years old and I played in the Batan's football team. This is the team where I played most of my years in the world of football.
The season was semi-completed and was one of the best of my life. Even we won to Las Palmas in our stadium, and for this always remember that day as one of the happiest days of my life.
But the next day, my president told me that Las Palmas, after the game against them, was interested in three of our players and one of them had been me but he said to Las Palmas that I don't be interested and when I know, I was very angry because my dream was to play in a team like Las Palmas where you can become a great football player.
I left the team before the season finished because I was very disappointed.
one of the moments more disappointing of my life happened a few months ago.
It was the final regional encounter of Lucha Canaria. My team had fought spectacular meetings and we were the first ones in our classification, the other team was very good too and they had a season very good, so much as our.
We lost that figth with difference, and I couldn´t do nothing for my team, I was very disappointed with me and I thought I needed very much practices, but now i think that experince helps me to be better than before.
Sometimes loss is better than victory
For my way of being and acting, there are very small the times that I have felt disappointed with someone. I prefer saying that I felt disappointed of my same one once. When I was young, in a park I saw as a few children they were ill-treating dogs. I could have avoided it because I was older that the children but I did not do anything. I feel very guilty of not having avoided this abuse.
I think that the animals are the only ones that will be always to our side of an unconditional way. We must take care, give them fondness of them and not to treat them badly.
On the other hand, I could save the life to my dog "ULVA" when I was 3 months old. It is a yorksire very small. She was weighing few so that it was necessary to give her every 30 minutes the prepared special one in order that the levels of sugar were not going down and she was not entering shock. An early day dawned, I went to see her and she had the eyes in white. Rapidly I took her to the veterinarian and he could save her. The veterinarian said to me that if four more minutes happen already she would not be alive.
I believe that everything what we could do for the animals is few. But we can begin for wanting them, not retire them and be so faithful as they are towards us.

To be honest I don't remember the last time when I felt really disappointed. Generally, I do everything I can to have what I want and I don't grant easily my confidence to people (so they can't disappoint me), even if I remain very sociable!!
I would say that one of my biggest regrets is to haven't began dance younger and to be invested there. But when i was young I lived in a small village where there were no possibilities of exercising an artistic practice. So I put myself in it later, in my entrance to university, but practicing dance always remains rather expensive so I can't put a lot there as much as I would want.
I think that to be the least disappointed possible, it is necessary to be realistic, to keep feet on earth, be always a minimum suspicious and naturally to give the means to achieve the aim.
1. First of all, a surprising thing I've done in my life was to climb the Teide and see all the islands from there. It is beautiful scenery. Secondly, a special situation was when I participated in the final basketball championship in Catalonia, Spain. For latter, a interesting situation was when I practised scuba diving as the bottom of the sea is gorgeous, I recommend it to everybody.
2. On each of the above situations I felt really happy and content because they are situations that doesn’t happen every day and we must enjoy them when they occur.
3. Well unfortunately yes, I have had that feeling. I have felt disappointed when I have had some expectations about a target and I have not been able to get it.
The last situation that i felt a disappointment was the last year.I practice athletics, then these year i was training very hard, i felt very fast and in the copetition winner and doing the best time but the spanish`s championship.When i was near to the more important competition, one day in a trainning doing ejercices i felt a very very hard pain in my left leg and went the medical.These year i can run more and i felt a frustration very intense because i was very fast but can´t demostrate because i can´t run.Also was very frustation because after the injury i was in mi house , i can´t go to trainer very frustrating.
I can remember a very strong day, it was when I had to come to Spain.
It happened when I was a child, I was 12 years old. I had a very nice life in Argentina, nice friends, nice house, nice family, but one day everything changed. The country's economy became very bad and we started to think about leaving Argentina.
When I received the notice I felt completely disappointed because I had to say goodbye to all those things that I needed so much.
But when I arrived to the Canaries I realised that it wasn´t so bad. Even if I still miss my family and some other things from my country, I made many friend in a very short time and I felt very comfortable.
I can't remenber what was my biggest dissapoiment I had lived till now, there're some but one of them continue hurting on me.
I was 16 years old when I travelled to Cantabria.I was so happy and ansious to be there because I were going to stay one month there competing with probably the best cycling team of Spain, but a few days before I went there my grandma got so ill, then I didn't want to go to Cantabria but all were allready a y had to go. On 16th October I arrived there and four days later my grandma died :( My parent didn't tell me nothing until 3 wheeks later when they visited to me at the mainland, I cried a lot and i got really angry with them, all good resaults I had have there were forgot inmediatly because I can't say her good bye.
On one way I will never excuse what they did but on the other way I underestand them, futhermore I would have done the same thing on that situation!
I think that one of the worst days of my life was last year.
I went with my team to the spanish championship, and we had to win a match to play semifinals but we lost having got the two last shoots.
I felt really bad because we had work very hard and we could have won, moreover, we thought we were going to win.
Nevertheless I learn to much with this game and this championship.
Last summer I felt a strong sense of disappointment.
It happened while I was competing at a cuadtriathlon. I was 3st and 4th was so near to me. To 500 meters of the finish I decide sprint, but unfortunately happened the worst thing. When I was only at 20 meters of the end he improve me an finaly we finish 4th. I was disappointment because I failed to the team.
hello!!
My biggest disapointment, was the day after the last championship of france in 2006 when I had to stop the pony's competition because I was 18 years old, and I could'nt continue whith horse because I had to study at school and to past exam ( Durring one year befor I hadn't go to scholl every day because I was in competition in every part of france and sometime in spain and italy). I was very very sad because It was an integral part of my life was stop forever...and it's very dificult to stop every thing and to beggin an other life totaly diferent! I don't geret went to university and to went in las palmas in erasmus because that helped me to think what it's the best for me... And the next year I will to stop my studies in sport and I will to go to BRIGHTON in england durring 3 years for studding osteopaty of animals in order to work and to past my life with horses!
For me this disapointment was finally a good think to help me to see what it's really important for me and what I expect to the life!
by!
The worst day of my life was when I was 15 years old.
I was playing with the "dominicas" (a team of La Palma, my island).
We won the final in "La Palma" and We went to the canarias championship.
We played very well but in our more important match I injured my ankle and couldn´t play the match. I felt sad because I could not help my friends, in addition I felt worse because we lost the match.
I´m lucky because I have had few sad moments in my life.
The most sad day in my life, was when I was 12 years old, and I was riding in my bicycle. I was playing in the circuit of my town with my friends, I was driving very fast and I lost the control in a long jump, when a was in the air and fell...it was terrible, because I destroyed the bycicle and broke my helmet. From this day I stoppet to practise Downhill...i might have killed.
Hi,
my the biggest day of disappointment in my life when I was going to grammar school. It was time, before leaving exam. As each other, I hope also to do exam, but I failed in my last report from class, so finally I have not admitted forward leaving exam. This was my the biggest day of disappointment in this moment. I had two possibilities, I have been able to visit class once again or went to work. But It was summary of coincidences, I don´t know how I did everything to now. But It is better to say, It was a happy end :o). But from this point I have had enlightenment or edification.."can never be worse, if you are healthy and alive". Disappointment are and forms in our live. But why to feel unhappy, depends on how we look at all...:o)
Regards
There are 3 amazings things which I want repeat again!. one of this is a big jump on bungee from a bridge, it was a very exciting experience!. The second is the first travel whith my friends on summer hollydays, we went to Cadiz and it was incredible! the lastone is when i went the first time to the Santiago Bernabeu staduim in Madrid! I always will remember it.
When i was doing thoose 3 things i felt like the most happy man in all the world..
Fortunately in my life I was rarely disappointed therefore the biggest disappointments have been with myself, I try to learn every day.
One of the moment disappointing of my life happened when I began to drive, in October 2003.
I was biggest frihtened in the traffic accident where in consequence two person springed wounds.
I was to blame the accident because I to throw off the tracked and I feeled a biggest disappoint whith me. I remember I thinked that I had killed at these person. Fortunated all it remained in the biggest score.
I don´t to turn the traffic accident from that time!
It coulding succes anyone, for the reason is very important we have maxim attetion in the highroad.
One of the biggest disappointment in my life was two years ago. I was training hard because my team won the league and two weeks later we played a championship with the best teams of Canarias, It was an amazing experience for all the football players. When the moment arrived, I fall ill and I don't played this championship, I felt bad because this championship could be a great experience for me.
One of the special things that I have done in my life, I has been to extract the driver's licence because me I am charmed with driving and you have autonomy great. Other one of the things was a trip to Ibiza with my friends last summer, we were one week enjoying the island and the parties, one will never forget me because I was a very special summer, since the course gone out perfect and not tape-worm any worry, but to spend it to me well.
And what I have done and I have liked it I has been to learn to ski, because it is a extreme sport, full of adrenaline and I enjoy as a small child whenever I practise it. When I sky I don´t have worries, only it is an amusement. And one of the times that more disappointed I have felt, I has been with my team, F.C. Barcelona, when I stop to escape the league a few years ago.
I remember twelve years ago when PP ( Partido Popular) won the Spanish elections I felt a very big sense of disappointment. I didn’t understand how could I live surrounded by so capitalists people. I was really disappointed with my people, I felt shame of others, if I had been older I had gone to living to another country.
I also feel disappointed every time when a terrorist kills someone. One half of my family lives in Pais Basco, it is one of the most affected place of terrorism in our zone. When I listen other new of one bomb attempted I suffer for my family and my neighbours, I am really disappointed with human people because we are very advanced and developed in a lot of things and we don’t agree in how we can defend of ourselves.
I really felt disappointment from one year ago, when I was studying for be a policeman, because I was preparing policeman exam so hard. I went a very expensive classes, I stayed many hours at the library. And I felt dissapointment because I failed the policeman exam. At first all the world fell on my own. But I breathe deeply and I started studying again. Later I passed the Physical education test and nowsadys I'm studying at the university and I often study to be policeman, because I will do the police exam again.
The first time that I felt disappointed in my life was eleven or twelve years ago. I was nine years and I used to play football only to have fun. When you are a child, you only want to kick the ball and run with your friends. Our team came to Buenos Aires to play a tournament. In the final we lost in penaltys and I failed my kick. I felt so bay and I did not stop to cry, despite to get the trophy of the best player of the tournament.This day I realized that football is more than a normal game and I became very competitive.
Really, I don't remember very well when I felt disappointed.
the situation was:
I was working so hard for going with the Canary Selection of Rugby. All my partners are seeing my work, but my coach, think that I am not ready for going with this selection.
I felt a little disappointed, but it's not a big disappointed.
I can't remember any strong sense of disappointment, but the last failure that I can remember was in 2007, when a friend called me to help him with an subject.
Clearly I acept because he was one of my best friends. From my point of view we was doing a good job and If he studied he could pass the exam. The "D" day, I was sure that he would pass the exam but the true was very diferent. My friend failed and I felt a displeasure not only with my friend and his job, also with my self and my teacher's aspirations. I think that it's the reason for wich now I hate to give any type of class.
Creo que tengo mucha suerte por que he hecho muchas cosas interesantes en mi vida.
Porque me gusta viajar, he ido a muchas lugares diferentes. He vivido en Vietnam por dieciocho meses. Me gustar Vietnam mucho. Es un lugar muy interesantes y la gente son muy simpático. He aprendido mucho sobre la cultura Vietnam, puedo hablar un poquito del idioma (pero ahora no recuerdo). Y porque está la primera lugar he visitado al extranjero voy a siempre sentir feliz cuando yo lo pienso sobre.
Además, he ido a norte, centro y sur de a América. He visitado un amigo en Toronto, y un otra amigo en Boston. He viajado a México, Nicaragua y Perú y además he vivado en Buenos Aires, Argentina. Me gustan estas lugares muchas y yo quiero los visitar otra vez pronto. Me gusta traer a hablar en español y me gusta la cultura de latina América: la música, el baile, la gente, los edificios y el medio ambiente.
He vivido, además, en Indonesia por uno año. En Indonesia he trabajado voluntariamente con una organización que ayuda personas pobre con escuela y salud. Entonces allá también he aprendido mucho.
Veces cuando yo ha sentido decepcionado son cuando yo he visto muchas personas en pobreza. Esta es por qué estoy estudiando International Developement (¡no se como se dice en español!).
