My Gritty Life
Emma Herrera
My Sister
My sister and I don't get that much along, we pretty much argue over the smallest things. But at the end she is still my sister.
My Uncle
I don't see my uncle very often, and if i do is for help in need of money. My family and uncle go way back .My sister and I go to his house to visit, but after all he is still my uncle,
I love food
I consider food as a habit, i eat almost anything and still not gain weight. Food is everywhere, and once i smell food around me i want it all. I am also careful with what i put in my mouth because i know eating a lot is a risk of health and getting overweight.
I am from Guatemala
I'm from United States but both my parents are from Guatemala. No matter what i consider myself being from Guatemala. Once people ask me where I'm from I say I'm from Guatemala with no shame.
My Family's death
My family's death connects with me in so many ways, I've lost half of my family. I take death very seriously. Every loss affects me more but It also makes me be strong and ready for anything that may come.
Life
I think i see life a little different than everyone else. I take life as the most beautiful thing anyone could ever have. There are so many people that fight to live one more day and other people that take life for granted. I'm thankful i can live once more as each day that passes by.
Face Reality
I've had to go through some difficulty in my life to face reality as it is. I used to run away from my problems or avoid them due to me being afraid of facing the consequences. I've learned that facing things as they appear won't hurt as much as avoiding them would.
How to be Strong
Learning how to be strong was as difficult as facing reality. Being strong took guts, there were some points were i always cried over anything i was told, but seeing how crying took me nowhere i decided that things had to change. Being strong has changed my life from how it used to be, I'm thankful i've made it where i am today.
My Iphone
My phone describes me as a socialized person, i like talking to family back home and talk to friends. The phone is like an object that distracts me from anything that surrounds me. At times is good to be using a phone but at times no.
Dogs
I adore and love dogs, they're the most adorable thing there could be. Having a dog calms me and just fills my life with joy.
Spirits
I've had some experience with spirits in my life. I've seen my dead grandfather and my little cousin and other unknown spirits.
Marriage problems
I've experienced marriage problems with people and I know how it feels because of my own experience with my family. Marriages never seem to work out for anyone in my family and for other people I've seen.
