Agustin

by Agustin from Mexico

"Do not get down on life. Live with faith and at peace with everyone and everything".

He is my hero, because he teaches me all the things that are right, and he protects me from all the bad things, and he gives me good advice. He has opened my eyes when I was in trouble, he has taught me the ways that I have to live and stay in this world. He gives me advice about people. He says to me that we are not the same all the time.

My father is Agustín Correa Domínguez. He was born in January in Tampico, Tamaulipas, Mexico. He had studied at Nautica of Tampico and got his degree of Mechanical Engineering of Navy. In his childhood he was the fifth son of his mother and father, they were 10 brothers. When he was 8 years old he was the priest's helper at church every Sunday. When he was 20 he went to travel all around the world in a school-boat for 1 year. Then he worked for Pemex as part of its crew. He got married to Blanca, and they had 2 boys, Agustin and Luis. He had to work hard to stay with his family. Now, he is my father and I am proud of him.

Do not get down on life, live with faith and at peace with everyone and everything. He says to me all these things again and again. I know that he is a good friend of mine, not just my father.

Agustin has made my life a better life, because he has loved me and my family. He is the most important person in my life and I think he shall be forever and ever. He encourages me to be a better person. I admire his big heart, and his patience. His good examples and all his good qualities make me want to be a better person.

He inspires me because, he is so responsible and he has a strong character. But when he is angry with me I know that he wants that I do the thing correctly and be a better person.

He will affect my career because he will not be with me and helping me all the time, because I will have to be independent and take care of myself. But at this age he will give me a lot of help and take care of me. HE IS STILL MY HERO FOR EVER AND EVER.
