Ana Covarrubias

My hero in my life is Ana Covarrubias because she supports me in school, stood up for me in elementary school when they made a mistake, and cares for me when I am hurt or sad. Ana is also my mom. I describe my hero as caring, brave, and fearless.

Ana was born in Union De Tula, Mexico. Ana's family who lived with her were Lorena, Miguel, Claudia, Chela, Marco, and her parents. Later, they moved to South Los Angles. The house they live in was down the street from a High School and an Elementary School. The house they lived in was very nice with three bedrooms and two bathrooms. The girls got the biggest room for all of them to share and for the boys got the middle room to share and her parents got the last room.

When, my Mom was older, everybody at her house was sleeping and there was a knock at the door. My Grandpa opened the door and at the door was two LAPD Detectives; they asked "is this your son?" My Grandpa replied, "Yes, what did he do?" One of them said "Your son was killed last night." My Grandpa started crying and went to tell My Grandma. My mom overheard the conversation and ran back to her room and told her sisters and they all bunched up together and cried in their room. Marco had found out and the whole family was crying. After, that Ana's dad started to have drinking and smoking problems. Ana was twenty- nine, her sister Claudia was diagnosed with cancer. She was put on hospice. My mom went over to take care of her and when my mom was on her way, when she got a phone call from my Tia Lorena and she said "Claudia passed away." My mom rushed to my Grandma and Grandpa's house where her sister was on her bed, everybody there was crying. Everybody said their goodbyes and then people came in and took her body. My mom gave her a kiss on her head and said " nos vemos, Claudia."

Accomplishments that Ana earned were: she graduated from High School, and got a job at USC in a doctor's office. Later, Ana got a job in Beverly Hills for a Doctor that she knew very well. Her boss was the best because whenever something came up, he would let Ana take care of it. His name was Doctor McGrail.

The reason I admire Ana is because she is caring, brave, fearless, and selfless. She sacrifices her time from work to spend time with me, and take care of my grandma. My mom makes sure that I have a good life.That why she is my hero because she tries to help people in many ways. I've learned from my hero that being caring and fearless is a good thing and that you have to work the things you want, and just because you're poor doesn't mean that you aren't destined for something great.
