Semana 2
Unit III. Customs and traditions

Today when I asked my mom her life story I was not surprised, since for a long time I like to talk with her about her whole life, listen to
her experiences and her mistakes, we almost always get nostalgic since the life she has had has sometimes been very hard, We start
crying and whenever she tells me her story I am much more proud of her since she takes us forward alone.
Sometimes we start laughing at the antics that each of us their children have done as children, or we start crying when we remember
my grandmother, with the passage of time my mother every time she tells us everything she ah lived less and less and even laughs at
the misfortunes that have happened to her.
All her story helps me to take strength and remember that if she could be alone too, she is my engine and who helps me to continue
with my life even though sometimes it seems that I will not get out of this.
