ReplyDeleteSOMEONE I ADMIRE: MY GRAND MOTHER
ReplyDeleteBY: ANA DEL PILAR SUAREZ
I admire to my beautiful grandmother Carlina. She is forty-four years old. She has black and short hair, big brown eyes and a pretty smile. Since she was twelve years old, she had that work in her parents’ farm because they did not have much money and she was the oldest daughter. She was married with my grandfather Jose. They had five children but my grandfather died in 2004. She continued to work in the farm. She picks fruits as peaches, plums, and blackberries.
I live with her since I was a baby. She helped me, she fed me to sum up she is like my mother. When I am sad, she gives me a hug. She is friendly, generous, and honest. She is a wise woman because when I am confused she gives me an advice and I can decide what is the correct way for me.
She tells stories to her grandchildren about things when she was younger and how was the education in that time. Really is interesting listen her because I can learn many things her experiences of life. She is an expert cook of typical food. She cooks different kinds of delicious food as “Cocido Boyacense”, “mute guisado”, “embueltos”, and “empedrados”.
When I will be professional, I will want to travel with her, for many places around the world as beach, sea, Paris, Venice. I want to give her all things that she gave me. She is the most important person for me. Finally she is my example of fight and perseverance, and the reason for achieve my aims.
THANKS!
A model of life.
ReplyDeleteWhen I think about him, I imagine him with his long hair, light eyes, and fair skin. He wears sandals and white vestment. Perhaps, this is not his true image, but this is the physical appearance I have created in my mind. Other people only describe him like a soul, but I prefer to believe that he had a body. He is who gives explanation about origin of human existence because from his actions was born faith in relation to supernatural.
He is an example of living: like the child, who must respect his parents and families; like the unconditional friend who gives us good advice and he helps us and makes us stronger in front of problems. What I admire most about him is his ability to love us; even though we disappointed him, betray him, despise him, humiliate him; he sincerely forgives us.
He teaches us the way for becoming happy and good people. Every time, I think of him, I remember that it is too important to free my heart of hatred and resentments. I am more aware about the suffering I cause other people and I try to offer apologies and I feel happy when I am able to forgive, and help others.
In conclusion, this person deserves to be admired because he has a heart full of love, principles, values, forgiveness embracing the repentant people, strength to keep his convictions. He had to live proofs and temptations and teaches us that it is not required to be a God to conquer evil, which you allow to meditate about your own life and your contribution to the improvement of the society. This person is Jesus.

ReplyDeleteHello everyone!
ReplyDeleteThey are my life
When someone asks me: Who do you admire? I think the two most important people in my life: My parents. They are Alba Lucia Espinosa and Luis Fernando Nieto. They live in Tunja and they are good teacher. My mom is fourty five years old. She is medium-heigh and she has brown eyes. She is very friendly and she likes to watch comedy movies. My dad is fifty years old. He is tall and he has black eyes. Sometimes he is very strict but he is a kind person.
They have been teachers for fifteen years but when they were young, their lives were very difficult. My grandfather died when my mom was eleven years old so she had to work very hard. After some years, she started to study at the university but she studied at night because my mom worked as a secretary. On the other hand, my dad wanted to be a doctor but when he graduated he had to work as a carpenter because his younger brothers were still studying. Then, my parents met at the university because both studied Modern Languages at night. They married very young.
My parents graduated and they started to work in differents schools. They found that to be teachers is a profession very interesting because they help to build the skills of their students. Despite the obstacles, they have been strong people and they have obtained good results. They are considered as a great teachers because they always are worried for their students. My parents like to writer and they believe that each day we must learn something new.
Finally, my parents are important for me because they support me and share with me my successes and my failures. I am very proud of them because despite the difficulties, they have a great attitude, are hard workers and their dream is to let in their students all the knowledge that can help them in the future.
I definitely love them.

ReplyDeleteSomeone I really admire.
ReplyDeleteShe was born in Tunja. She is an awesome person, har-working and strong. She is thin and she has got long hair. She also has brown eyes, soft and white skin. She is 37 years old. She is living in Tunja. She lives with her parents, two sisters and one brother. She has a big family.
She has been working since she was a child because she has 4 brothers. As she is the oldest, she had to earn money by herself. She wanted to be a professional, but she couldn't because there wasn't money and she earned enough to cover her expenses. When she was 27 years, she got pregnant and she didn't want to show to everyone it, so she decided to move to Bogotá and live there. Her parents were so upset because she scaped without say anything. But, as she had worked all her life, it wasn't a problem. Her sister, Stella, went with her and they started to work in a company. She expected to have the baby on April, but on March, she felt pain. She didn't prepare anything, it was a surprise and the house's owners, where she lived, didn't know anything, otherwise, they allow her to stay there. Fortunately, they were kind people. In fact, they were so happy because they thought that a baby could change their lifes. She was a warrior, she never gave up.
She returned to Tunja and now, she has got a restaurant. She works since 10 am to 2am without have a rest. Although she had a lot of troubles, she is still walking without fear. She is my example. She is my mom; the person who I admire the most.

I admire to my friend Yenifer Romero, she is 2 years younger than me, she is 25 years old and she lives in Bogotá; my friend is very creative, funny and smart, she is in fashion and always looks very cool!. She got green eyes and blonde hair, she is thin and beautiful.
She does many things in her free time; she loves to learn new and rare knowledge, Yenifer does not spend the life and the young. She is a good businesswoman, her family says her “la paisita”, and really she seems it. Yenifer is studying Publicity in the Universidad Central in Bogotá and she will finish her career this year.
Yen is a very strong woman, she fights for her dreams and ideas; one day when she was 12 years old she suffered an accident, her back broke from that terrible moment, she had to support all the pain treatment for her recovery.
I admire her because in spite of the difficulties from her teenage, she could have a normal life, better than it, now she had a life that she likes. Yenifer is a person too powerful because her situation was not an obstacle for her development and the real proof of her courage is that nowadays she can walk, run and I’m sure that she can fly too.
