"Who is Isaura" by Giovanna Giner

Isaura was a beautiful twenty- year old woman with an hourglass figure, average height, brunette long hair, pretty brown eyes, and caramel skin color. She was an active person that from a young age started working with her mom on the field. It was important for her to work on the field because according to her parents she needed to become an adult by being responsible and take of her of her smaller brothers and sisters. Even though she enjoyed school her parents forced her to dropout to help out with the bills. For Isaura, she thought this was an acceptable situation because her parents were in need and she wanted to help out financially and to physically be there for her younger brothers and sisters.

At the age of twenty-five she got married to an older man who was thirty-five. Her parents weren’t happy with the idea because he was older than her. Isaura convinced her parents to be able to marry the guy since she had been with him for three years. His name was Ruben; he was tall, had black short hair, brown eyes, dark skin and, little chubby and, had a decent job as a taxi man. He lived far from her, but in his breaks he would go visit her and communicate with her parents so they would get to know him more. He did this to gain the trust of her parents, and for them to realize that he was a good guy for her. He loved her very much and would take good take care of her. Ruben decided to one Saturday night to go talk to Isaura’s parents so he could marry her and have their final say and their full permission. The parents agreed to let her marry with the guy who they knew as the “taxi guy,” but to Isaura it was not just any taxi guy, he was the love of her life.

Isaura and Ruben married and had six children but unfortunately their first baby died; it was going to be a girl that Isaura was so excited to name Isaura. After their unexpected loss they tried having more kids. Finally, they had five other kids: four boys and one girl. The four kids had their different attitude, the first boy was named Ruben he was a troublemaker and was always out with his friends and cousins he didn’t like school. Cruz was also the troublemaker but the difference with Ruben was that he was more into girls and more rude to his parents. Sergio was a good boy, and was really quite, and shy, and he would do what his parents told him to he was really respectful. Jorge was the outgoing and flirty, was into sports and really liked girls just like Cruz. Their girl was named Janette she was the nerd and the girly girl she was the baby of the house and had more attention from the parents. Her brothers would not pay much attention just because they knew she was into girl things and wouldn’t play with them, but they still loved her very much. Isaura’s and Ruben’s family were a loving close family and trust on each others. Their kids grew up and went to school, but none of them decided to go college they all decided to work right away and liked the idea of starting to earn their own money and not depend on their parents. Ruben became a taxi man just like his father and Janette moved out of town where one of her brother’s was living to work as a waitress.

A few years after that, shocking news was revealed to the family that their dad was very sick .He was diagnosed with a heart problem they hoped he would get better, and he did but it was not long before he passed away. Isaura’s family and the father’s family were there to support each other and get past his death. They were all very sad and couldn’t get past his death for a few months.

Now Isaura was a widow and she would still remember her husband’s death. When he was sick she became really close to him because she was the one there to treat him with good care and gave him all the love he needed. Since her husband was the person that she would be there for, she couldn’t be there for any one else because Janette and all her sons were all grown up, so she asked to move in with her because her mother was blind. She now wanted to be there for her mother and take care of her because she lived at Isaura’s sister house, and wouldn’t give her the attention she needed. Isaura has always been a strong. Kind loving, and hard working woman, and that is why I am so proud to call her my grandmother.
