Hello, my name is Fabian Alexis and I will talk to you a little about what
superstitions are, which within our environment we have as beliefs which have
transcended from generation to generation in each of our families, they have
always been present and believes that they can alter our destiny either positively or
negatively, there are many superstitions such as not going under a ladder because
it will bring us bad luck just like getting up with the left foot out of bed doing so will
cause us to have a bad day , there is also the superstition of good luck like the one
we used to do when we were children of taking an eyelash to make a wish and
blow it, we also have the superstition with horseshoes having them at home is said
to bring good luck, having a four-leaf clover is good luck.

Superstitions are part of our daily lives, many people grew up believing in them,
reaching such a point that knowing about them already becomes a family tradition
that continues to be transmitted to future generations.
