11. Final draft.
My cousin Junior was my role model
When I was a child my role model was my cousin Junior, because he was funny, a
people person and talented. First, he was funny. He had a natural humor to say jokes.
Also, it may be because he used to watch many TV shows. So, my cousin used to imitate
the characters of TV series such as; “Vivos”, “Cronica Roja” or anime like “Super
Campeones”. For example, when we were playing soccer, he kicked the ball so hard that
it broke a window, my mom screamed and, we ran away laughing. Another day, Junior
was acting like a drunk, then her mom hit him with a ruler because she thought, he was
really drunk, that was so funny. Second, my cousin was a real people person. He used to
make friends saying a joke, although he sometimes didn’t stop talking about boring
topics. Junior used to say “The life is like candies, ice cream, avocado, banana, pizza and
chocolate mixed in an iron, because it seems trash but, when you try it everything
changes”, everyone laughed, and then he did new friends. Besides, my cousin used to talk
with adults during hours, because he was intelligent. Finally, Junior was talented. My
cousin was talented, because he practiced soccer during hours trying to do the best tricks,
and he practiced on the guitar playing the most difficult songs. As a result, he did some
tricks with the ball and scored two or three goals in a match. What’s more, my cousin
dedicated romantic songs to the girls and they fell in love with him, although he sang
badly. All my childhood was full of experiences with my cousin. I admired my cousin
Junior because of his sense of humor, talent and kindness I hoped to be like him.
