The majority of people have something or someone they’re attached to, whether it has been there his or her whole life or just a short period of time. For me, that’s my Abuela (grandma in Spanish). She has always been there for me, she’s grown up with me, and she had helped me with certain skills and situations. Abuela has been a constant companion and provider of all of my needs. From the start, she has supported me in all of my endeavors. I could attempt a new sport, and she would support me, even if I wasn’t that exceptional at it.

This mighty woman has grown up with me. As soon as my mother told her that she was pregnant was me, my abuela moved out of the place she had called home for years so that she could dwell with me.

She never worked or got a job just to be my full time caretaker while my parents worked. My abuela took on the full responsibility of caring for me, loving me, and teaching me in a heartbeat. When there was some bump in the road of my life, she would know and help me through it. She would sit me down, talk to me, and give me advice. I wouldn’t have been able to go through half of the drama I went through had it not been for
