Teacher,
In my hole life there´re no one who loves, and takes care of me more than either my mother or father does.They have made not only everything possible to make me a better person, but also have given me all what i need. And if i have to choose anyone to honor in a special they would be without a doubt those person. in my opinion and according to my needs it shouldn´t be a huge celebration it would be ok if just the nearest person around me could realize how much my parents have me to help not only my brothers and me but the rest of the family and of course the holiday have to be something that they enjoy like a day in a luxurious hotel in front of the beach with a bonfire and the most important thing in beautiful night, the food. The honor have to be based on funny actions like a presentation of pictures where everybody who is presented in that moment could see how wonderful is my life with them like parents.

The person that i think should have a day to be honored is my father. I say this because my father does everything that is posible to make my family happy. He works every day and all day just to make sure that we have all what we need.
The day would be february 4th, because that day is his birthday.
That day would be celebrated in a church, with all his family and friends, something really normal and special.

Hi my friend...
Bobby Fischer was the best chess player that has existed in all the times... and I think that there should be an special day,in that the people honor that personage...
I think that the perfect day to do that is august 31, the day that Bobby won the world championship of chess vs Spassky.
In that day people should play a game of chess to commemorate the day that Bobby bacame in the world campion of chess.

The person who held the day because my mother would have been a very important person in my life because she has been a great woman who has done a lot in their lives for the future of their children.
I hold to the lead to places where wanted and could not, lead to the cinema, eating ice cream. Also we would go with my father and sister in order to strengthen the family surrounded in a brotherly environments. Serious for a moment to recognize all the efforts made by my mom, but many times it makes just waiting for the warmth and love from their children.

hello hugo

good,If I have to choose someone to devote a special day,I will choose to all the people who are helping those who most need it,because these people teach us to look beyond our eyes and they also teach us to give love, solidarity, sensitivity and understanding.

probably we will celebrate with a special food, games,dance, and other fun activities with people that need help.

I would like that on the day of solidarity of the people is in honor of all human... ¡This world would be better!

Hello Hugo!!!

I admire Andrea Echeverry, She is a singer rock belongs to the known Aterciopelados band. Andrea became famous with the single "Rocker flower".
I chosen because she is an original singer, simple and quiet.

In that day people should Offer a tribute to the colombian talented to commemorate the Andrea day,
People should give flowers, presents and beautiful cards.

Also, People who like rock should make a song in honor of her. This Could stimulate the rock in Colombia and appreciate the talent that gives our country in the world .

I think that there should be a special day to honor a Juanes(Colombian singer). Because it is a person with a very big social commitment, for example he has a Personal work against of the landmines, also has concerts for peace.
Juanes is Goodwill Ambassador of the Fundacion united by Colombia, this shows his desire to help without interest.
If Juanes`s day is not possible, I will like that he win the Nobel peace prize.
I think that a good day for to celebrate in honor to Juanes is on August 9,day of his birthday.
For to celebrate this day, the people should make a tribute in honor to Juanes.

If I had to choose that some people choose to spend a special day, these would be my grandmother and my mom, they are some wonderful people I admire and they have taught me many values, so I think every day is to celebrate with the people you want and admires greatly.

Another character that we should admire and respect all Colombians is our president Alvaro Uribe Velez, because ho all this time has shown us the desire to succeed that the country forward in all aspects especially violence.

if I have to choose anyone to honor in a special day unspeakable they would be my parents, both of them have been so careful and lovely on me. three years ago my mom got sick, I thought everything was right, but it really wasn´t. so long time before my moom´s gotten sick I was used to get home and no more,I didn´t do anything else. nowadays my mother is the most important person in my hole life.every single day I realize that my parents are just borrowed for a second in my life, their honor have to be based on handing around, visiting good restaurants and traveling around the world.

If i had to choose one day to honor someone i love, i'd say everyday, because that person would be my mom, she's the best person I've ever known in my whole life, she's my confident, my best friend and always gives me advices about life, also takes care of me and is the person who has been always with us (my brothers and me) and never has failed us. Even there's an special date to honor her, i think this day isn't enough because she's the best and deserves the best too. Like I said before, I'd honor my mom everyday, and the best way to celebrate that is telling her everyday how much i love her, and helping her in everything she needs.

The mom’s birthday
My mother is the most special person for me, her birthday isn’t any day, and for that reason I gift many presents, kisses and hugs!
In the morning I played my guitar and sing her happy birthday song’s, and then she smiles and thanks to me.
Everybody is ‘’as busy as a bee’’ on the mom’s party. In the party there will be mariachis; my brother carry out the decoration of the party, and I am taking charge of the food, the whole family works so that the party is excellent. My mom suckles this in the beauty parlor, being placed beautiful for party and all their friends, I invite their friends of the work and I study. She will be surprised, and grateful for the surprise of the party. Everything for that she is happy in their day.

If i have to choose a day to honor somebody i choose Andriy Shevchenko. Shevchenko is the best forward of the soccer world, he won the gold ball 3 years ago (2004)thanks to his performance in the italian league at Milan FC. Shevchenko has been in many teams like Dinamo Kiev, Milan and actually at Chelsea FC. Actually He is passing bad moments because always he is in the bench of subtitutes but with hard training he can be succesful in Chelsea FC. For that reasons i think hi have to have a honor day.

The person that I will choose is my mother, I think that is normal that all people love to their mothers, but sometime we don’t do things to prove it. My mother is very special for me, she is the person that gave to me a life, is very comprehensive and she always tries to give me everything that I need with much love. The day that I´ll choose is the mother’s day and I want to prepare her breakfast for that day and take it to her bed and after that go out whit her to have an special dinner….I hope that she like and enjoy it, because if she is happy I will too.
