Evidence: Giving advice

These people are facing changes in their life. Read their situations below:

My name is Amanda. I am a hairdresser. I work in a beauty shop in the north of

the city. I am a single mother and have two beautiful sons. Mike is nine and
Steve is two. While I work, my mother takes care of my sons. She has always
supported me. But now my mom is really sick. The doctor recommended her
moving to a quieter place. So, she is moving in with my brother who lives in a
small town. If my mother moves, I will probably have to quit my job as I don’t
have anybody to take care of my kids. I wouldn’t leave them with a stranger,
especially the little one.

I have some savings and I have considered

opening my own beauty shop in my
neighborhood so I can be near my kids. But Fuente: SENA
what if the business does not turn out well? I
could lose all my savings. I don’t really know Fuente: SENA
what to do. I am afraid of the change.

Dear Amanda,

My name is Juan. I am a member of the SENA community. I read your story and I
want to give you some advice about your situation. First I want you to know that I
am a young man and I don't have sons. My brother is my priority and my reason for
living. In my personal opinion I think you should support your mother to improve,
because mother only there is one. Also In my personal opinion I think that I should
go ahead with this project, since you know a lot of this profession and you have
many years of experience, I would suggest that you advise as to where you are
going to start this project, you can also try new trends. You must think about the
welfare of your mother, the care of your children and an independent economic
stability. I suggest you hire a person you know and really know their lifestyle and
live, because the welfare of your children is at stake.

In conclusion, you are able to get ahead and keep working. You're a hard-working,
hard-working woman. I value your strength and your love of mother.

Love

Juan Villegas
