A Special Person In My Life

Throughout my life, I have had the opportunity to meet many people, but there is one person who is
definitely very important in my life. Her name is: Nellys (I call her Mi Nellita). She is 56 years old. She is
single. She is a beautiful Venezuelan woman. She has bright green eyes and straight hair. She is short
and a bit skinny. She works in a funeral services company. She is a manager. She loves her job. She
has been working for seven years in this company. She is a very optimistic person. She is the
friendliest person I know but she can be extremely rude when she is angry. She is active, very
generous, honest and humble. She has many hobbies: She loves walking, reading and spending time
with her nephew. In addition, she likes traveling in the summer to Peru to visit her best friend.
I have known Mi Nellita for over 7 years. I remember I was studying at the Central University of
Venezuela and I lived with my aunt, but her house was far away and I had to move to another location
and it was there where I met Mi Nellita. Since then she has become my second mother. She has been
my best friend and my confidant. She gives me wonderful advice and has taught me a lot about life. Mi
Nellita does anything she can for me without ever asking for anything in return. Despite the distance,
we keep in touch. We talk almost every day and our relationship is wonderful. I am grateful. I love her.
My Special Person
By Celeste Sanchez
His name is John, he is 28 years old, he’s single and he doesn’t have children, he lives in Virginia with
his dog Stella a beautiful, friendly and sweet dog. He’s a chef. He works with me. Actually he’s my
boss. John has beautiful blue eyes. He has blonde hair, well he is gringo obviously he has light skin.
He is very handsome but that does not describe all that’s special about him. His best qualities are in his
personality. He is kind, very smart, funny, a little smug, but he is a hard worker, a little immature and
annoying. He is never quiet. He talks very loudly, sings, runs everywhere. He is very active. He loves
to exercise and he is a little crazy and that is good because normal is boring. He seems like my teacher
Hugh, I’m very lucky those types of persons keep me awake because I’m lazy. I’m always distracted
thinking about many things, so I don’t remember when was the exact first time I saw him, but my old
boss Chris is one of his best friends and Chris took him to work with us at The Partisan, the restaurant
where I work. At first I didn’t like him because I thought he was weird when time passed I started to talk
to him, and I realized that he was an excellent person. He is a good boss and he is a leader because he
always works the same as everybody else. He is polite and flexible, but sometimes he doesn’t pay
attention and gets mad and obnoxious, and I hate him. Still I believe that he is a good man, the best part
of work with him is his delicious food. He is the best boss I’ve ever had.
