Have you ever been in a situation where you were stuck and had no way of knowing how to make the right decision? When I'm in this kind of predicament I turn to a person of inspiration. Inspiration is a feeling that keeps you going, moving, motivated, and helps you follow your dreams.

There are many people in my life that are sources of inspiration, one person in mind is my Great Grandmother, Lela Casaus. She had a heart as big as the world, and loved her family more than anything! She loved to pray and always blessed the family. She was most happy when all the family got together and had a good time. She made it a priority to go camping for the family reunions, even though she was getting old and was sometimes sick. She had a wonderful sense of humor and is very spiritual. Grandma Lela inspires me in many different ways. I have learned from inspiration that I need to love my family and the others around me. Because of grandma Lela I want to help make sure that everything is ok with everything and everyone in the world. I need to remember that all my actions depend on what I want to do and who I want to become. I love my grandma and I'm so happy I got to meet her. She was the one that inspired me to chase my dreams and that I will always have her by my side.

Another person of inspiration is my Grandpa Alfred. He was in the Korean War for 3 years. He lives in Pueblo Co. with my grandma Alfie Salazar. I always love to go to their house in the summertime because his grass is the greenest grass in town! He teaches me to take care of my things and everyone else. He is a huge supporter and sets an example for me and his younger family generation. He likes to do fun things, like fishing and camping.  My grandpa has affected my life in many different ways. He teaches me life lessons that I need for everyday tasks. My grandpa is the kind of person that makes sure that your doing the right thing and make right choices.

My last person for inspiration is my Great aunt Grace Rodarte. Words can't explain what an amazing person she is. She loved to take care of animals that needed help in any way. Grace enjoyed drawing religious art. She loved to take care and babysit her nieces and nephews. She was very faithful in her religion. She inspired me to help others and understand my religion. Grace taught me to enjoy life and make the most out of it.

If I was an animal I would be a horse because they are very good friends to have. You can talk to them even though they don't talk back, they still listen. Horses have as much feelings as we do. They are very bonding animals. Horses also help with therapy, and they are very strong animals. I would love to rome free in the wild with the wind blowing my hair, while razing in the grass with the rest of the herd. It would be like having a big huge family together all the time. I would love to say hi to the people who come and see us.  Horses are amazing animals. It is an amazing feeling being on the horse, talking, and bonding with them.

"We love horses for what they embody: freedom, spirit, adventure, peserverance, and drive. Horses are gentle, loyal, fierce friends and the ultimate travel companions who are willing to go the distance with you." -Unknown
