My name is Melany Cortés Pérez, I was born in Barrancabermeja
on September 27, 2005 -
6 months after my birth, my mother baptized me in the Immaculate Church of Barrancabermeja -
This was my first year, my family was very happy, since time had passed so quickly and according to my mother I was already grown up jsjsjsks -
Time passed, and the day of my third year of life arrived, my mother tells me that that day they took me out for a walk and that, she took me to a photo studio and they took some of me, we were happy that day
-
I was 4 years old, in a short time I turned 5, and in that photo it was my first day in the garden -
Well, the day of my years arrived, that day again they took me to a photo studio, they also took me to see places -
Well, in 2011, when I was 6 years old, a man came into my mother's life, and mine, who took on a role called dad, gave me his last name, won my heart, my trust, and so much so that I know I earn to be called by me, dad -
Well, the years went by, together with my dad and my mom we experienced many things, adventures, we met many cities, I don't have the photos but I have those moments present, and we learned many things together, the photo that appears below was the last Christmas where I spent it with my dad where he was in good health -
In 2020, my 15 years were approaching, but a month before, dad began to have problems walking, dragged his right foot, and spoke incoherent things, but we were afraid to take him to the clinic, since everything was covid according to the doctors , as you can see in the photo, they celebrated my 15th birthday, but without my father present, it was not the same -
A week after I was 15, my dad had a seizure, they took him to the clinic, according to the doctors, dad had a brain tumor and they had to have an emergency operation, that's right, they operated on him the next day, thanks to God everything went well, but from that moment I did not hear his voice again, the tumor caused him to be unable to speak or fend for himself, he stayed in bed -
Well, days later, dad came home, we were very happy to have him home, since we needed him, things changed, but I felt very happy to have him by my side, for me it was already a routine of waking up, and the first thing What I thought about was my dad, that I had to bathe him, feed him, spend time with him, do therapies, and since the classes were virtual, the longer I stayed, I talked to him, although he couldn't answer me, but he understood me. -
Christmas arrived, from the year 2020, we received it with dad in bed, it was a different Christmas but the important thing is that we were complete, I came to think that the year 2021 would be a better year, where dad would recover, but it was not like that, God I had different plans -
January 19, 2021 arrived, it was 2:25 in the morning, dad was already suffering, he was running out of breath, and he slowly died in front of my eyes, my world stopped the moment dad left, although that's how God willing, my life changed completely, I changed completely, nothing in the family was the same, it hit me very hard. -
And yes, to this day, although the void left by my father continues, although the family was never the same again, mother managed to move forward with the help of my older sister, the family, it is the 4 of us against the world -
Well, leaving aside the subject of my personal life, I will talk about my goals, because I am about to finish my high school, if God allows it, I will graduate this year, I plan to go to university the next year and study law, if the icfes help me It would be a wonder, and if it doesn't favor me, I would have to work and study at the same time, but as my group director says, without demanding there is no excellence, and everything has to be fought for in this life to get what one wants
