WE ARE SUPERHEROES

Being poor doesn´t mean being ¨villero¨. In Fuerte Apache, in the Villa 21 there are many working people. There are many working people that get up at 4 a.m. And they are workers as anyone. Like you, like him and like me.It is like everywhere, you will find people who do bad things everywhere. We are all human beings, not ¨villeros¨. Villero is no word that doesn´t exist for me.This is a settlement. This is not a villero village, this is a settlement for people without a roof, humble people, working people. I don´t know why they call us villeros. There are many people who want to progress, to have a business, people want to go to work every morning. People want to go to work in the morning and want to come back and being safe, you do not want to be shot and die just for a pair of sneakers while you are waiting for the bus.

TEST « Almost every summer, I spent time in a village in a country side, next to St Petersburg, that’s a common thing for a Russian child here, if some of your older relatives like grandparents, they have a wooden house, all the children, we are sent here every summer, that’s what happened to me, with my sister we used to go there. It’s important for me because in a way a grew up just next to the nature, next these huge and beautiful forests and it made me feel that natures always a bigger than any person than I can meet and it can always give you some great, great feelings, it’s hard to experience it here in the big city. So the more time passed, the more I understand I’m very attached to this thing inside myself. The moment, which was the most difficult for me, I believe in some way it was the death of my grandmother, because it as a person who was always here for me and the person I used to go to the countryside and at some point, at some age age, I understood she was the person than I love the most in my family, apart from my sister because it’s different, because she was more for me than any other person and so even after she passed away I can’t really feel it, I steel have this very feeling that’s she is somewhere, near to me and I keep dreaming about her, I’m holding her in my arms and I’m understanding that is the very last moment that we see each other and I feel that this time is the most precious in my life, every time when I wake up after this dream… I understand I was so lucky to have her in my life. »

I stopped them, they was kissing, but immediately, with real pleasure, we start to talk about their impact. “He listen, she smile. Emmy & Nick are students, he lover her, she love him and one at a time, they started to describe each other. Emmy is smiling, she bring happiness to everyone by her simplicity and generosity, a kind outgoing person. Nick is listening, everybody, like things no one insist on. He is present, he is generous with his time.” They inspired me LOVE.

He was walking across the street and our eyes met. Everyday what do you like the most? "Help people and be present for these who need it the most, that is what make me happy, ... and you?"

“My mindset? Place people first. I am aspiring to become a model and eventually become an ophthalmologist. I am  majoring in Neuroscience and minoring in business, all with the hopes of running my own practice in the future.  Today waitress tomorrow ... ? I don't know, but i work hard for that.”
