Believing That You Can

wise person and that you should act intelligently. In
conclusion, I think that there are a lot of qualities that I
admire in my mother. In fact, I want to say that I learned a
lot from her and will I continue to learn from her.

I Admire My Cousin
Though celebrities and famous people are very
admirable people, I choose to write about my cousin,
Williams Blanco. I admire him because he is somebody I
know firsthand. I watched him and interacted with him
when I was living in Nicaragua. He is a respectful man and
he respects every person whom he comes into contact with.
He scored excellent grades in high school. He is a good
sportsman and the best player on his baseball team. In spite
of his busyness, he helped his father at work three days a
week. He studied to become an economist. Now he has a
good job in Nicaragua.
Williams is being blessed with two daughters and one
son: Ana Iris, Maria, and Nelson. Besides his work as an
economist, he opened a natural juice business that it is
doing well. Helping others is what he likes to do. He helps
find work for many people. One of his daughters has a
profession in administration, the other is an economist, just
like her father. Nelson is studying mechanical industry at a
university in Nicaragua. He, also has followed his father’s
footstep – a very smart young man. I do not think that my
cousin’s well being is based on luck. I think it is 80% hard
work, 10% proper upbringing, 5% inherited traits, and 5%
thanking his shining stars. Two years ago in December he
came for vacation to the United States. I invited him to my
house in Key West. We had a good time catching up with
news about each other all through the evening.
