Today in stead of going to Advanced Placement United States History, I went to the Justo Lamas concert. Justo is from Buenos Aires, Argentina. He speaks Spanish and some very bad English. Justo tours the United States visiting schools and putting on concerts for students that are studying Spanish. I have attended the Justo concert three years in a row. Students in my Spanish class enjoy learning the words to the songs and singing them along with Justo. The concert was very memorable and I enjoyed singing along with Justo. During part of the concert Justo told us a story about his childhood. When Justo was three, his mother was diagnosed with schizophrenia. Then when Justo was just five he went into the closet and found his mother with a belt around her neck trying to commit suicide. Justo pulled the belt off and his mother told him that she was a bad mother. Soon after Justo’s mother tried to commit suicide Justo had trouble in school. He was shy, stuttered, and didn’t have any friends. He also had asthma. My favorite song by Justo is Amor.
