Paco and Jeronimo about volunteering

When we visited this old man, we enjoyed a lot because he was telling us a lot of experiences about his life. He started talking about his childhood. He said that although they didn’t have a lot of things, they had hours and hours to enjoy, that they dindn’t need technology to have fun and that their life were quieter than now it is. However, due to the fact that he started to work at building very young, when he was 12 years old, he couldn’t enjoy his childhood completely. When he was 20 years old, he went to military service where he met Joaquin, one of his best friends since this time. He also was telling us different things about his military service. For instance, he told us that some people tried to enter to the station trying to steal some weapons but that he achieved to stop them. For this reason, he was given a medal. Five years after that, he met a woman who would be his wife for 50 years. They had four daughters. When he was 50 years old, he gave up building and was only selling buildings, and when he was 65 years old he retired and his company was inherited by his sons in law.
