What was the hardest thing you’ve had to experience?
Leslie Dorantes, her father's residency was being questioned. He was in danger of getting deported. It was difficult because it would have been her father that would have been gone, or the whole family would have left so that they wouldn’t be seperated. It hit her on an emotional level because her relationship with her father isn’t the best. She quoted, “He is physically there, but not emotionally.” She then mentioned that regardless of her relationship with her father, she still respects and loves him unconditionally. To her it does not matter how others feel because at the end of the day it is just her and that's all that should be important. And even though they did not have the best relationship knowing that her father would have been gone hurt her. Blood is family no matter what.

ReplyDeleteIt is well-written, I liked how it was short, but at the same time it gave a lot of detail. This is a story that many people can relate to and it's sad. At the same time I am going to give props to Leslie because in those types of cases I don't know where I would've been.
ReplyDeleteVery well said. She shared something very personal with so much honesty, so props to that. This post is very distinct from the rest which is not that easy to accomplish. Great job!
