THE PERSON WHO I ADMIRE MOST IN THE HOLD WORLD
The person who I admire most in the hold world, has never received any prize, has never been clapped by
a specific group of people and she has never known what a recognition is. But it doesn’t matter to her, because she
doesn’t need it.
She doesn’t earn too much
money, in fact, a big part of this, is given to her relatives to have a better
life, she doesn’t have a profitable company, even employees on charged, and in
the hypothetical case if she could have them, maybe, she would invite them all
for lunch.
The person who I admire most in the world, doesn’t have a Master degree, although, she had the
opportunity to go a University and became a professional despite of all
sacrifice that she had done. She said that she would become a nurse, and that
ever was her dream, but few opportunities forced to choose the only one option;
become a teacher.
The person who I admire most in the world, born 24 August 1956 in a small village called Condoto Chocó,
where the poverty was all over the town and the chance to become someone else
in the world was almost impossible. She
had worked in houses as a housekeeper, and took care of her siblings since she
was eight years old. At the age of twelve her mother passed away and most of
the responsibilities had been covered by her, because her father, a humble
fisherman, didn’t earn enough for all the family
Despite, her father didn’t
want that she could continue with her studies, some years later; she decided to
go out of this village with two of her older brothers in journey to Medellin.
And it was here, were they could study and work in some towns of Antioquia as
teachers.
The person, who I admired
most in the world, worked in Remedios, a northeast town of Antioquia, there she
worked for almost 39 years. By the time, she said that staying there, the
conflict between the guerillas and the National Army had never caused the worst
moments of her life.
Been a single mother, working
hard as a teacher and selling stuff like panelitas and ice creams, she had the
opportunity to buy her own house, and raising her child in a better conditions.
The person, who I admire most in the world, has read any kind of books, specifically all related to
Social Science, Economic, Politic, Ethic, Sexual Education and in top of all,
Colombian Literature. All this knowledge that she had gotten from all of it,
was gratefully given to all of them who were her students and also, it’s given
for all of them who are around her.
Nowadays, the person who I
admire most in the world, is enjoying her retirement,although, she continue
working as goods sales woman and learning about new technologies every single
day. She has traveled around the world, knowing new places; places that long
time ago when she was young she had dreamt.
The person, who I admire most in the world as most of you have been already guessing, is my MOTHER, she
is more than a single mother, she is my truthful friend and in top of all my confident and I’m sure
that everyone who knows her love her too.
