Living with my sister makes attending college difficult. To be able to attend to college you will need to give 100% of your time. Although when you have a sister like mine, is difficult to attend college. First of all, the late night hours that Yaqui likes to spend with me. Every other day she rents a movie for us to watch together or she will tell me all the details about the fight she had with Carlos the boyfriend. I definitely have more temptations to cut class living with my sister Yaqui. She invites me to dinner and to the movies and it is hard to say no on a Friday afternoon, when I say no she invites our favorite cousin Marielos to have dinner at our house and after dinner to go to the movies, also to have the pedicure done at the mall. What makes it harder to attend college is that I have more distraction to study. My sister could get really loud when she is at the phone talking to Carlos or when she keeps singing the song that she can’t get out of her head and I end up singing whit her. Also when I am studying and she has difficulties on the computers she interrupts me so I can fix the problem. Even though I love my sister is difficult to attend college as a result I will have to move to another apartment.

** Praising my grandmother  ** The meaning of praise according to the dictionary is to express approval or admiration. It could be hard to find someone in your life to admire, although in my life I found someone that is not hard for me to express my admiration. My grandmother Teresa Toledo, a woman who said “yes” when she easily could say no to an important question that either way would had an effect in my life. First of all, I admire my grandmother because she said “yes” to my mother before she died and never gave excuses. Before my mother died she asked to her mother Teresa if she could raise five more children. My two sisters Jhureiry she was four years old, Yaqui was nine years old, my two brothers Rodolfo was fifteen years old, Juan twenty-one and me two years old. She could easily have said no, because she had ten children of her own, and she would have to start all over with a two years old baby. However my grandmother Teresa said “yes” and never gave excuses, in addition she promised to look over us until God decides to take her too. What a big package she throw to her self, but she did it with love and every time I was sick she was always by my side and always though of our education as the most important thing. When I was around nine years old I got very sick, grandma took me to the closest hospital and the doctor from the hospital had to make and emergency operation my appendix had exploded in side me. When I woke up the next morning the first face I saw was my grandmother Teresa with a big smile. I remember that she stayed at the hospital by my side all the time I was there. She pushed everything a side to be with me and helped me with all the homework I had accumulated because education was the most important thing that she wanted to give me. Grandma Teresa always encourages me to keep up going with my studies and goals. She always says; “Education is something that nobody can take away from you, and it doesn’t hurt to study”. I always studied in bilingual private schools because she wanted for me to be bilingual in case I wanted to come back to United State of America which I did, and I am very proud for the decision she made at that time. I admire my grandma that she worked hard as a hairdresser to pay for my brothers, sisters and my studies. In conclusion I admire my grandmother for all the sacrifices and with all the good examples she inspires me to be a better person and a mother. I express my admiration to my grandmother with a thank you. Grandma Teresa Thank you; two simple words that comes from inside my heart for her.
