On May 15 took place a literary
competition in the Spanish language in the Amphitheatre # 4 of General Studies
at the University of Puerto Rico, Río Piedras Campus. This activity was
conducted by the department of Spanish. After the welcome, the event was full
of emotions and feelings. This activity was dedicated to the life of the great
writer and teacher, Emilio Diaz Varcarcel. They began the tribute to Emilio
with his biography and important photos through his life as a teacher. At the
end of the biography of Emilio Diaz Valcarcel, the conductors called Emilio's
family to go on stage to give some gifts. Undoubtedly, one of the most special moments was the widow of Emilio began
to mourn and everyone stood up and started clapping the memory of this great writer.
The activity was ongoing and the
place was filled more and more by students and teachers. The activity was very
happy because it was a gala awards for students who competed in the category of
short stories, essays and novels. There were many winners and that motivated
everyone in the activity. One of the best things that happened was when a
Spanish teacher shouted for joy because his students won the top prize in the
category of story. In addition, a summary of each story of each winner was
presented and the conductors called the winning student to pass the stage to
collect his prize. There were many smiles from the winning students because
reflected his effort.
The activity ended with an
artistic presentation of some troubadours girls. This part was very cheerful
because the songs that sang are of Puerto Rico and everyone started clapping
while singing. The girls were accompanied by professional musicians from the
University of Puerto Rico in different instruments like guitar, bongos and
maracas. The most emotional moment was when one of the girls who was singing
took the flag of Puerto Rico and all began to applaud. I was proud of my
beautiful banner. Anyway, this activity of Spanish department was unique and
unforgettable as it could give honor to the memory of a great writer, we had
the pleasure to see the winners of literary competition and see the girls
troubadours singing patriotic songs. This to me was something special.
With this competition of
literature I could conclude that literature is a world where we can express
what we want. It is through writing that can open roads. It is with literature
and writing that we can win, learn from our culture and support our things.
