Person Who Has Influenced My Life
A person who has had a significant
influence in my life would be Veronica Ramos. Veronica is my sister’s
friend. She is 31 years old and she has a 4 months old daughter named Kyra. I
have known her for about two or three years and even though she is only a
friend, she is like a sister for my sisters and me. She has been through a lot
of stuff, but instead of giving up she has tried her best to keep going with
her life.
One of the things she is been
through that I think other women could have not had the strength to go on with
their life would be getting breast cancer. She got breast cancer when she was
about sixteen or seventeen years old. At this age any teenager could easily get
depressed and get addicted to something because they really don’t know
what to do in this kind of situation.
Well she, like every other teenager did get depressed when the doctor
told her that she was not going to live for a long time, that she was going to
die. She did not know what to do and started drinking and smoking. She really did not get addicted and was
able to leave the drinking and smoking, when the doctor later told her that she
can be operated to take the cancer out.
Sometimes being mad at your parents
and choosing not to talk things out could end up being the worst decision
someone could ever make. Even
though you are really pissed off at that moment and you think you hate your
parents, you cannot hate them. There is nothing in this world worth hating the
person who made you and who loves you the way they do. No matter what kind of
problems you have with your parents you should not get mad at them and if you
do you should always apologize. As I said, no matter what the problem is they
will always forgive you from the bottom of their hearts. This will be the thing
that has influenced my life the most, because there is nothing in this world
that could change the way you feel towards your parents.
Another thing that has had a
significant influence in my life would be that she is a single mother. It is
not the fact that she is a single mother but that she got what she always
wanted. She had always wanted a baby from the man she loved and who loved her.
Even though things did not work out between them she decided to have her baby.
Even though they say that babies suffer or have problems because they do not
have a father, I think Vero’s baby is not going to have the need of a
father and if she does I know her father will always be there for her. That won’t keep Vero from being
like a father, sister, brother, and best friend for her daughter.
I have only known Vero for about a
year and a half or two and I think she has lived more than a fifty or sixty
year old person. Vero has been though a lot of stuff and that never stopped her
from doing what she always wanted. Even though she has had health problems,
family problems, and personal problems, she made it thru school, got good
grades, and has a career. The only thing she might have to worry about now
would be living every second of her life and taking care of her daughter.
