"Born Bad" By Eddy Lopez

Have you ever admire someone and never told that person about it? Well I have had that kind of admiration for my cousin Lorena and why you may ask well is simple, I admire her because of all the courage she had and how hard she tried in school.
My cousin Lorena grow up in Mexico just like me and after she had born her parents didn’t like her and after my aunt had had her she didn’t wanted to carry her, so my mom had to carry her since she was little. After five years had passed her parents hadn’t change a bit about loving her, no while everyone from her other brothers and sisters received the love from her parents she was the only one who was left alone. When my mom and dad came to visit her she was outside the house while everyone else was inside and they asked her why she was outside and she said that her mom didn’t liked to have her around and my parents went inside and decided to talk to my aunt about what she was doing was wrong and after they had talk for a few minutes my aunt told my mom “If you really want her why don’t you take her with you an besides I don’t love her” after saying that, my cousin went into shock and went outside screaming and my dad went outside to get her and told her that he was always going to take care of her.
After twenty years she was going to graduate from a university from Mexico. She was going to start working as a doctor and since at that time she had saw me born she just liked me and every where she went I was always with her and she always was hugging me and kissing me. She was the only one that I admire and wanted to be like her but, after everything was going great my dad had decided that he was going moved to the U.S.A and my sister had to decide whether she was going to stay or was going to move with us, and after she tough about it she decided that she was going to move with us and so we did.
When she decided to start working in Santa Ana she knew that she had to work like everyone else and that was by working with papers that were not hers and so she started to work in a restaurant and after working there for three years she had received employee of the month and she was so happy but, at the same time sad because she had decided the day before that she was going to quit because she wanted to start working on where she liked and that was on a hospital. The day after she received the award she was going to quit but as she went in two cops were waiting for her and they told her that they were going to take her to jail and they did.
My cousin was in jail for three months but she always kept herself strong and after she had done the three months in jail she tough that they were going to leave her free but no they didn’t they told her that she was going to be deported to Mexico. After hearing that she was sad but she said to herself that if she hadn’t cried when her mom didn’t loved her why was she going to cry so she said o.k. now that she is in Mexico and I’m here I think back and say to myself why didn’t I tell her personally that I admire and think that she I the best person that I know and not only do I love her as my cousin no I love her as my other sister.
