That Significant Person We Need

At some point, you are going to met someone important in your life, a significant person that, in some way, changed an aspect of you. Maybe, that person changed your attitude, your first impression or one of the most important things in life, your thoughts. You never know what’s next, or if your life is going to change in an instant, for good or for bad. This year, that is the lesson I learned. You have to appreciate what you have, what is given to you and the things the life didn’t gave to you.

I met a person who helped me a lot with a very difficult situation in my family, my mom's disease. This person is called Ana Luisa; she is older than me, maybe the same age as my mother, she speaks very softly and she really understands what you are saying, I started to talk to her this year and we are very confident to each other in a more respectful way and I talk to her every day even if it isn’t about a problem. The first time I met Ana Luisa, was long ago, I was fourteen years old. We never really had a close relationship, until this year because she began to help me and to talk to me because she heard that I was going through this problem. What I think is that she was so interested in this situation, not only for being a psychologist, but also because she had been through this disease before. I’m very proud of her because she passed through tough problems in her life, not only because of the cancer but also because she once told me that her children didn’t helped her when she needed to. She told me that when she took her first chemotherapy, she was stuck in bed and her children went to party that day, and she is still resentful about that because she always thought they didn’t care about her or what she was getting into. I don’t want to be that kind of person that they  doesn’t matter about anyone and less their family, because I want to help, I want to love people and mostly I want to be loved. Ana Luisa put me that example because she doesn’t want me to be like them, and I don’t want to fail my mom and to my family because they are the most important priority in my life.

 I am very thankful to her for having asked me, because if it wasn’t for her, I would never have told anybody. Ana Luisa helped me so much talking about this problem, because I know I could relieve myself with her without feeling ashamed because she understands my position right now, I don’t feel like trusting in other people, telling my situation and my feelings.

Ana Luisa always tells me that I must have strength, and not to be defeated by anything that I think it is stronger than me, she always tells me about the faith and the trust I should have at my side. I think we all need someone to trust in and feel good about that person and that we can relieve ourselves to him or her easily. Ana Luisa always mention the theme: God, one day she asked me if I believe in Him, if I am close to Him and if I pray every night, I've always done that, I have always believe in Him and adore Him, there isn’t a day for me without praying. Sometimes she makes me understand that if I get closer to God, He will help me and help my family, and the most important part, God will cure my mother. Recently, I had a problem with a friend of mine, and she is helping me to solve it. What I want to say is that she is always there for me no matter what problem, situation is coming, and she always tries to make me feel better and she always gives me the strength I need.  

In conclusion, she is an important and significant person in my life, no matter what is happening she is always right there to help me and to help my family, that’s why I think we always need someone like Ana Luisa in our lives.
