Un ser humano es la traducción de sus valores, de la formación de su familia y lo que le han enseñado desde pequeño. En mi caso nada era perfecto, aprendí a esforzarme y darlo todo por mis sueños. Había muchas dificultades, pero siempre con palabras de aliento puedes lograr encontrar un camino a pesar de lo que exista u ocurra. En los momentos más duros quise desistir; sin embargo, encontré las palabras de aliento suficientes de mi familia materna. Los hermanos de mi mamá siempre me han apoyado.

Incluso en los momentos de duda constante o permanente he encontrado las palabras correctas por parte de ellos. Soy afortunado, eso es cierto. Mi familia ha luchado contra vientos y mareas para salir adelante. Ese apoyo incondicional es lo verdaderamente importante, es lo que más importa.

Hace un par de semanas finiquité una de mis carreras en la universidad más importante de mi ciudad y en ese instante estuvieron dos de las personas que me han visto crecer. Con traje puede que me vea como su hermano; pero soy su sobrino. Mis tíos siempre han estado para mí en los momentos más especiales de mi vida. En el fondo sentí un vacío porqué mi madre no estaba conmigo debido a que está en otro país; pero ellos estuvieron acá junto a mí. Eso significó mucho para mí.

What Can Be Achieved with Family Support

A human being is the translation of his values, the formation of his family, and what he has been taught since he was a child. In my case, nothing was perfect, but I learned to make an effort and give everything for my dreams. There were many difficulties, but always with words of encouragement, you can find a way despite what exists or happens. In the hardest moments, I wanted to give up; however, I found enough words of encouragement from my mother's family. My mother's siblings have always supported me.

Even in moments of constant or permanent doubt, I have found the right words from them. I am lucky, that is true. My family has fought against all odds to make it through. That unconditional support is what's really important, that's what matters most.

A couple of weeks ago, I finished one of my degrees at the most important university in my city, and at that moment, there were two of the people who have seen me grow up. In a suit, he may see me as his brother, but I am his nephew. My uncles have always been there for me during the most special moments of my life. Deep down, I felt a void because my mother was not with me because she was in another country; but they were here with me. That meant a lot to me.

The people who are close to us are the ones who are worth everything, the ones who dedicate a portion of their time to be with us, the ones who ask how we are and write to us. Those people are the ones who truly love us.

My aunt has always celebrated my achievements, including when I graduated from primary school, sixth grade and high school. At the same time, my mom's older brother has always been like a father to me and has told me that if I need support, he will be there for me. You don't need many people in your life; you need the right people who allow you to be happy. Living also means valuing, being and sharing the most special moments as a family.
