I come from a big family, 13 aunts and uncles on my mother’s side and 15 on my father’s side to be exact. Each one has at least 2 children. Where you have to refer to each of them as “cion tio” or “cion tia” or sufer a slap to the back of the head. Growing up I was surrrounded by my family and the great thing about that is you could hear stories about when you were younger that you couldn’t even remember. People always remind you that they were there and I always thought it was important to keep them there and keep them close. That’s 28 aunts and uncles, and 28 mentors Some have passed away and some I haven’t seen in years but for 17 years I have tried to grow and learn and let them live through me.
