Most Significant Person

Improved Essays
She was a lady of actions not words. I spent more time at her house than I did at my own. Her house never smelled of hunger and sadness. She wasn’t the richest but I never did feel poor around her. She has become the most significant person in my life and has made me the person I am today.

She explained to me without shedding a single tear, how she lost her husband and two sons. She explained to how she got the scars on her hands and the callus on her feet. She raised twelve kids all on her own and worked in the fields every day to provide what was necessary for them. At that moment, I knew she was the strongest person I ever met.

She continues to mold me into the woman I aspire to be. She has the heart of a warrior and the soul of a saint. I love her with everything I got and I know that I can always turn to her for anything. She has prepared me to conquer the world and because of her no obstacle will ever be too big. My abuela is the reason I am the person I am
