On the day-to-day basis, my friends and I love to tell and re-tell stories about 3 A.M. adventures or just funny situations we unexpectedly got caught in. Short stories, in this informal form, have surrounded me since I was a young child on the laps of my grandpa and uncle. Both are considered the master storyteller of the Alvarez and Guitierrez side of the family, respectively. Both of them have been telling me stories of the first Venezuelan to visit France or how the Alvarez family reached Spain. Each story with it's own individual lesson. Each story taught me how to be a man, how to never act as a tourist, and most importantly how to adjust your speech for the right audience.
