My life has had important people, and one of them is my mom. She is my biggest motivation to do everything I don´t know what I would do without her.

As a child I remember that my mom supported me every time. She taught anything is impossible when you do that with love. She was my first teacher to discover what the world showed us.

On the other hand, I could have learned many things from people near me. However, my mom had already taught them to me, and for that and many other reasons, I love her so much.

Nevertheless, my entire family is the complement to make me happy in each part of my life.

PERSONAL STORY

WHAT TRADITIONS HAVE BEEN PASSED DOWN IN YOUR FAMILY?

FAMILY IS THE CENTER OF SOCIETY. FOR THIS REASON, I CONSIDER COMMUNICATION IMPORTANT, VALUES AND GOOD BEHAVIOR FAMILY SHOULD BE TRANSMITTED GENERATION BY GENERATION.

MOREOVER, I CONSIDER I HAVE A FAMILY WITH A LOT TRADITIONS.  I REMEMBER WHEN I WAS A LITTLE GIRL ALWAYS MEETING IN MY GRANDMOTHER’S HOUSE.  WE CELEBRATED BIRTHDAY, CHRISTMAS, MOM’S DAY, DIFFERENT HOLIDAY.  I CONSIDER IT NICE WHEN WE HAVE THE OPPORTUNITY TO SHARE WITH ALL THE MEMBERS VICTORIES OR LOSSES IT IS HERE WHERE SEE THE FAMILY AND EACH ONE CAN GIVE A HAND.

FURTHERMORE, WE CONTINUED WITH THE SAME TRADITION AFTER MY GRANDMA DIED AND OTHER MEMBERS.  I SAID “THE NEW GENERATION” CONTINUE JOING. FOR INSTANCE, AT THE CARNIVAL WE HAVE A BARBECUE AND PLAY WITH FLOUR AND CARIOCA IS GREAT.

IN CONCLUSION, IT’S BETTER STAY IN FAMILY.

My grandparents influenced my life and thinking for good. I usually remember the values they used to teach me, for instance that we need to be humble and recognize that eveyone is important for society even the jobs or appearence.

Moreover, they were always talking about respect. They treated others appropiatly and were too strict with the family that we had to do exactly the same. They were also strict with other aspects such the time for eating, in which we had to be on time, and thank God.

Finally, the most important value they could show me was the importance of family, I had the opportunity to see my grandparents supporting their children and family. They used to have time for their family.

Good friends can last forever. I consider these are important points:

We respect each other's opinions, we accept advice when it is necessary, when my friend feels bad I listen to her. I am

a good listener. Even though she lives far away, I call, or I send her a message too.

Besides, we have been in good and bad times.

"What have been some of the happiest moments in your life? The saddest?"

Life is a journey with both high points and low points, periods of great joy intermixed with times of deep sadness. Some of the happiest moments come from simple pleasures spending quality time with loved ones, sharing laughter and making treasured memories together. Achieving hard earned goals and accomplishments also brings immense happiness and fulfillment.

However, the saddest times often involve loss the death of loved ones, the ending of relationships, having to say painful goodbyes. Failures, setbacks, loneliness and self doubt can also comprise very difficult, somber low points. Witnessing cruelty, injustice and suffering in the world weighs heavily.

Yet even in the darkest moments, rays of light can shine through in acts of kindness, in the personal growth that comes from adversity, in appreciating life's beauty and fragility. The highs and lows, though opposite experiences, both teach profound lessons about love, resilience, gratitude and the shared human experience that connects us all.

In essence, the life is the simple happinesses and major challenges that shape our paths.

Fortunately, we have met a new doctor and he saw that we were struggling. Then, he helped us by getting supplies of the medicine for free from pharmaceutical companies. He helped us to continue with the treatment at low cost.

Also, he didn't stop there; he kept checking on my child to make sure he was getting better. His kindness made a huge difference. It helped my baby's health and relieved our stress. This experience showed me how one person's kindness can change lives.
