PRIDE

These two images represent the things of which I am most proud.

The first imagine it’s of my mom. Even though me and my mom

didn’t have a good relationship growing up. I always saw how much
she tried to be a good mother for me and my brothers, how she
worried for us, how she always put her kids first and how she
always supported us. Even when she gets home from work
exhausted she would still cook for us (me & brothers, dad) not
just that she always made sure that we had a clean house, clean
clothes, food, and so much more. My mom sacrificed all her life
just for me and my brothers to have a better life. An example was
leaving high school to raise us, she never got to finish high school.
She also left her home country to come to the United States to
give us a better life here. Even now she still sacrifices a lot of
stuff for her kids.

The second image is a picture of myself when I was a kid. I'm

proud of myself for becoming the person I am today. I was born
and raised in Mexico, I'm proud to say that I'm a bilingual person
now but not just that I'm also an early senior, real soon I'm going
to be graduating with honors, but one of the things that I'm most
proud of it was that on July 4, 2023, I lost my cousin Brandon
Mendez.Around the time I was finishing my credits to graduate
this year and I was also working while dealing with my cousin's
death. I struggled a lot around that time because of his death.
Even after this event that changed my life completely, I'm still
here achieving all my goals.
