Important Person

 The person I consider important in my life is my uncle Tomas, he is my mom's brother and he is a very important part of my life. Since I was born he was very close to me, when I was a kid he was the one who played with me. Since I am an only son he was like my brother, he used to play soccer with me, we played video games, he goes to picked me up to my house because I wanted to be with him and go for a ride in his car, and it was a very fun relationship. In this part of my life he was starting the university, so I used to watch him having fun with his friends, drinking beers, and sometimes with his girlfriend. And every time I see him I wanted to be just like him when I had his age. At that time I used to see him in family reunions, sometimes when he and my mom got together to talk or when he wanted to see me, but when I think everything started was when my parents got divorced. My uncle came to live with my mom and me and it was when everything changed. When my mom told me he was moving with us it was like a dream come true, I couldn't be happier. The first week and months happen the way a planned them, we help them moving in, we played every time we could, we watch tv together, it was like having a big brother. But then I realize he was starting to get more and more into my life and he start to take a responsible and strict role with me, he start asking about my grades at school, he start making me help my in the house, and he correct me every time I was irrespectful with my mom. It was a point when I didn't want to know about him anymore because I felt like he wanted to be my boss. But with the time I start realizing that everything he told me help me at some point, when I start having friends at school and they invited me to their home when my mom go to pick me up my friend's parent tell her that I was a good kid very friendly and educated, and the first thing my mom do when we return was to tell my uncle that she was very proud at it felt nice. After that part that I felt being bossed we start to get along even better than before, because I had someone more in my life that cared about me in every single aspect. One thing that shocked me was when I was about to get to high-school and in the shool's act when the teachers were giving us the welcome to high-school I watched him standing in the crowd with my mom and he was happy to be there and to see me there, so I start thinking that he was my uncle, that he don't have any responsibility to be there, but even tough he was there for me because he knew it was important for me. Now this last years I am getting closer to finish high-school, and now I have him by my side telling me what should I study, where should I study, and telling me what I am doing now that will help me in the future. All of this of course is important but that's the way I know that he cares about me and about my future. One of the characteristic I feel identify with him is that every time a problem comes out he is always calm and he make the smartest decision, when something bad happens he seems to be the strongest, even when I know he might be in a lot of pain or anger he keep it for himself for the other persons to feel good. I feel that my personality and the way I think had been influenced a lot by him, might be because I grow up with him, but we share a lot of things that I am sure I wouldn't have if wasn't for him. We have done a lot of things together among them travel and go to concerts and I am also sure that without him this things wouldn't have been half as good as they were. My uncle he is a very important part of my life, every time I am about to do something I stop to think what would he think about me doing that and it helps me a lot of times. The feeling I liked the most is when he tell me that he is proud of me, because is very hard to get it from him so every time he tells me that I know that I really deserve it and that I work for it. And this is just a little part of why I think my uncle is an important person in my life, because he is my brother and my father, and I love him for that.
