WRITING 2:

Well, I will begin to write the story of a good friend, his name is
Juan Carlos Alvarez, we all affectionately called him Juancho, I
met him at a basketball academy, he was very good at playing,
but everyone always saw him wearing old sneakers and broken,
an extremely old backpack, and we always saw him happy, so I
had the courage to ask him why he comes that way and he's
still happy, he told me that the way of dressing was not
important, that the important thing was to train and have fun,
training for Juancho was more important than clothes, that's
why he always dressed like that in training, and I thought,
that's possible he doesn't have the necessary resources to be
able to buy good clothes, but he didn't need the money to be
happy, I needed to know more about Juancho, so at the end of
the game I asked him if he could say more about his life and he
accepted.
Walking towards our houses, he told me his whole story, first
he was born in Peru, he is 23 years old right now, he was older
than me, which was normal because the basketball academy
accepted any age in case you asked, he was a boy like any other
but he was a very poor person, coming to his area everything
was poverty, that made me too sad, I knew that it was not easy
for him, he had also told me that he moved a lot since because
he never paid the rent on time , now he lives with his great-
uncle, and why does he live with his great-uncle? It is because
when he was 18 years old his mother suffered a heart attack,
that marked him for life, and I would also feel that way because
losing a mother must be painful, and I can't imagine how he will
still feel but I admire his courage.
I wanted to continue listening to his story, but after what he
told me I felt too bad to continue, he never felt defeated with
all the things that had happened to him because he always
brought out a smile, and if you looked closely he seemed like a
free man of problems, his mother must be very proud of him in
paradise, with everything he told me and all the obstacles he
had to go through, I learned to value my family more and what
I have, because without them I would not be who I am today
nowadays, he showed me that you never have to give up, you
always have to get ahead with your best smile, Juancho is a
very admirable person.

Listing:
- Poverty - Juancho is a very humble boy, he does not have
the best resources but he will always be with his best
smile for everything.

enough money, he moved from house to house because
he did not pay the rent, in the end he lived with his great-
uncle

loved his mother, which was something very difficult to
overcome.
