People who impacted my life
I have two people that have made an impact on my life and those people are my mom and my boyfriend(Danilo V.).
The first person I would like to talk about is my mother.Ever since the divorce between her and my dad around my fifth grade year which was in elementary school, my whole life was changed. I picked who I wanted to be with which was my mom and ever since that day she has been the mom and the dad of the house. We have been through a lot together over the years and things are just starting to fall into place. For example, over the years I learn or see new things about my father like the lies he would tell to me and my brothers just to get us to go with him. The sad part is he got my brothers to go with him and now are slowly making him pay. I use to Want to make my dad proud of me, but I can't live up to his expectations if anything he wishes the worst for me and my mom is the one who encourages me. I wonder where would I be today if I didn't have her around? But then again she does keep me going, but I'm the one who is making it happen.
The second person that has made an impact in my life is my boyfriend of three years and five months, could have been five years but we were friends for those two years. Anyway there's times where I think to myself how lucky I was to go to kingsborough Ms, because I would have never met him. I'm also very glad that my guy told me to start somewhere new. I met him in Gym class when we were doing roll call and I was just so fascinated with his hair and wanted to touch it and when I did he just smiled at me and that's when I knew in time we could possibly be something. as the days went on I just had to get his phone number, so I questioned him how does he use his phone? (obviously I know how to use a phone) he handed it to me and while he wasn't looking I messaged myself so I can call him later and claim that he gave it to me. Next thing you know we went on several dates and I got to meet his parents, and till this day we are so very much in love even if we do argue or the obstacles that get in our way. We basically know how we really are, because we used to live together for a couple months while my family went through the divorce. He impacted my life by providing shelter for me and my mom when we needed it. Just till we got a place of our own, he would provide support by listening to my issues and creating a solution when he would bike to my apartment to hang out with me. There is so much more he would do for me and I'm forever grateful. I also help him out when he needs it as well. When we go out I like to pitch in, because I don't see why a guy always have to pay for the girl, sometimes they can't and that's OK, so I like to take him out sometimes. We're not perfect but we do great together nothing can hurt us or break that bond we have for each other. He's also my best friend, we just have a way of goofing off together that let me forget about my problems or worries. I'm guessing my dad doesn't like him, because he's doing all this for me when in reality my dad should have been doing that, but likes him because he's taking care of me and supports my goals. I'm a girl who believes in God and even though my life hasn't gone the way I planned it I'm glad, because I wouldn't have met him and maybe that guy feeling I had was a sign for me to start new and take those two minutes I had at roll call to meet him, and I believe that was God's plan. I was destined to be with him and have him bring me hope and let me believe that I could do anything I put my mind to even if people try to tear me down or don't believe in me. In the end he gave me confidence, laughter, and courage. I just want to return that same love back, because he changed my world and brought in the light when it was dark and like I said I'm internally grateful. The doctors say he's getting sick and almost died on them twice, but I'm still here for him and he knows that no matter what happens I choose not to move on. His family and my family see that I do really love him and are scared that if something does go wrong they're afraid I won't know how to recover, so they've prepared me for it, and he looks fine but his system isn't but he tells me I'm the only reason why he wants to keep going through what he's going through, because he's just getting worse. I always tell him not to think like that, but who can blame him. I know that's his way of telling me he really loves me. Another thing is we plan to get married sometime in college, so if something were to happen to him I honestly would not have no idea what to do. I also think to myself what kind of God would do this to a kind hearted boy who has so much to give? As you can see he has made a huge impact on me and I hope he gets better so we can have many more wonderful years to come. If not at least I hope to keep up with his appointments to live the life we wanted together.
In conclusion my mom and my boyfriend(Danilo V.) made a huge impact on me and I would not know what to do without one another. So I hope God watches over them when I'm not around, because I wouldn't know how to recover or better yet I wouldn't want to, because I want them to be a forever feeling in my heart and memory.
