I could talk to you about many people that I admire, like Stephen Hawkins, Einstein, Elena Caffarena, Lautaro, and so many others that are great heroes, but the person I admire has not been a public person, she has not made an heroic act, she didn't save people, and she doesn't have a statue...She is my grandmother, my father's mom.
We are a modest family, when my dad was a little boy, he, my aunts and my grandmother lived in a “campamento callampa”, and my grandmother worked hard to can living better than that.
She was alone, because my grandfather died when my dad was a little boy. My grandmother “Lucha” worked as laundress, and cleaning houses, she had not holidays, neither free days, she worked hard to pay the school to all her children, all my aunts are professional and my dad to.
She managed to buy a house for her family being a laundress, that makes me be so proud of her! And she has taught me a lot of things, one of them is that we never have to forget who we are, where we came from, and who are our ancestors and we must to be proud of them, whatever they had been and made. We can being very successful and famous, but we always must to be meek.
