The Person I Admire
Ludmilla Silvestre; Hannah Hancock; and Madeline Zimmerman
I’m going to tell you my friend’s story. She inspires me because she is a mother like me and yet she is very dedicated to her studies.
Her name is Ednalda. She got married in Brazil at the age of 21. After marrying her American husband, she went to the Cascadia College in Bothell and studied English for 2 years. Then she started her course to be an English teacher. She was very happy, but it was when she became pregnant with her first child, and even though it was a difficult time, she continued studying. She only stopped when her baby was born, and she went back to school when her baby was 4 months old. She managed to finish her 2-year degree to be a teacher, and she decided to take a break between one part of her studies and another. At that time she got pregnant again with twin girls, but she had already made it clear as soon as they are born, she will go back to school and finish her 4-year bachelor’s degree.
Her story inspires me because I’m also trying to study for a while. I am inspired by my friend that even though she is a mother and wife, she is still working hard and has already finished her first 2 years.
