DO NOT BELIEVE IT ALL for some of his words do me no justice haha. just thought i'd share part of it... the funny parts of it... lol
She Inspires Me
My mother is the image of saintliness. She has endured the burden of raising three children, each with very unique personalities, needs, and wants, and has moulded them into hard working, honest, and decent people. My mother, firstly, had to deal with Sam, the eldest and wisest of the 3 children of my family. Next, is Catherine, the misunderstood sister of the family. Finally, is myself, the baby of the family, who is sensitive to even the slightest insults. My mother, despite struggles, was able to raise three healthy, and loving children. I admire my mother because of all of the conflicts that she had to overcome throughout her life, and her faith. My mother’s saintliness is evident most primarily through my brother, Sam.
The first child my mom had, was Sam. Sam was always the happy child, who always seemed to be the most joyful, affectionate, and loving child out of the three. He was the first to grow-up. Sam set the bar of achievement for my sister and me by being a first honour student, a role model to his piers, and a UBC student. My mother played an influential role in my brother’s upbringing, like she did for all of her children. She made sure he always got to school on time, she packed him lunches so he wouldn’t go hungry, he taught him manners, and how to treat women with respect. My mother seemed to give most of her lessons to my eldest brother. Many traits my brother has is directly as a result of who my mother is, and these traits are quite evident. My brother is the most sociable of the three, and is usually the one that brightens my mom’s day. My brother has become a source of guidance and council for me, as well as the whole family. My mother’s most successful child is Sam, however, my sister was granted the gift of love.
The second child of the family, is Catherine. My mom and Catherine share an uncanny resemblance in appearance, but aside from that, not much is the same. My sister, has caused my mother stress that no one on the face of the planet should endure. My sister is what you would call the ordinary teen girl, times 5. With the yelling and reluctance that comes from my sister, I am amazed that my mom is still breathing. However, over the years, my sister, with the influence of my mother, has developed into a mature, young woman. She has developed strong virtues, and is able to hold true to them. The one thing that my mother has delivered to my sister is her ability to love. My sister has been blessed with the loving touch of a mother, and can even take charge of the household while my mother is away. The person most in need of that mother’s touch, is myself.
"My sister has caused my mother stress that NO ONE ON THE FACE OF THE PLANET SHOULD ENDURE" ---goodness!! how dare he say such a thing!!! lol.
just to clarify a few points...
-i am NOT hard to understand! justin refered to me as being the misunderstood sister... i am quite open and willing to share anything honest to goodness!
-i, catherine cervantes, am the most joyful, affectionate, loving and socialable child out of the 3 of us. i cannot believe this nonsense. there is no truth in this at all whatsoever! the absurdity! however, my brother did admit to me that what he wrote wasn't entirely true as he wanted to stretch the truth in order to capture the audience. great huh.. make me seem the biggest bitch ever lol. how sad for me that justin makes my older brother seem so great... aha he is after all, "the most successful child" cmon brotha, give me the time to become successful! and in what context is this success you talk about??? lol.
in summary,
i am outraged. hehe.
