My Grandfathers and Grandmothers

by Mari from Colombia

My heroes are my grandfathers and grandmothers. They were the first ones in my family to be rich, even though they started living on the street, without money and without a house. So they worked super hard to be where they are now.

They started working when they were 6. Even though they were too little, they did their best to help their parents. They worked from 10 am to 5 pm every single day, even the summer, winter, Saturdays and Sundays. Then thanks to other countries that gave money to Spain, they could have money so that they could give it to the people and to start growing the country with the economy. Then there were more jobs in Spain and people started repairing the streets and making new and beautiful houses. Now was the time for my grandparents to have a house. Then when they were 25, they left their houses and got a job that paid well and started getting money.

My grandfathers and grandmothers wanted to have money, and they got it. They got married and created a new and big company. Two of them had my dad and my uncle, and the other two had my mom and my aunt. Then we arrived and thanks to them, we are not living in the street and we are living in a big house with many things. That's important because they can live the rest of their lives in a big place and not in a small place where they started.
