My Thirteen Reasons How.

By: Kathryn Corniel

Mom

My mother. Without her I wouldn’t be here right? The lady that brought me to life. To this world we call earth. She raised me to be wonderful girl. But ever since my father died. She had to take care of me and my three brothers by herself. I am amazed by how much she has done just to raise us. Something that made her and I come together as daughter and mother was raising my brothers. The only way we come together are my brothers. Strange right. I am suppose to hate them and fight with them but really I had no time for that but to care. My childhood was filled with short moments of fun and helping my mother out so she wouldn’t be so stressed. Even though now my help is gone to waste where sometimes I feel so much hatred for her but hey when don’t you hate your parents? Anyways without her I wouldn’t be alive nor be the person I am today. Thanks mom for all the things you did to help. I love you.

Daddy

Now on to my father. Didn’t know him for long but he has something to do in how I become to be right? He was in the marines , coast guard, and I think navy? Not sure but well he was sometimes there. To me from what I cant pick up from pictures and what I've seen from how my family talks about him. Well he was a great, funny, amazing guy who knew how to have fun and hen to be serious. In love with my mother having two children and me! My dad was something to me that I thought will always be there until that faithful day. Anyways well he's my second reason to be what and how I became Kathryn Corniel. I love you daddy. Rest in peace.

Brothers

Well they aren't the best but they are what I have. My brothers. Three of them the most annoying little kids in the world. But I love them and they are good when they want to be. There is Kevin Corniel, Dylan Thomas, and Javier Perez. They are all younger than me and Javier is from a different father. They are all crazy yet they amaze me on how much they know and how much they can take in their small peanut brains. Well Kevin, Dylan, and I have been in a lot of situations where we sometimes didn’t have money so no food. They rely on me a lot more than I think. There was a point in our life where we had a step father and that’s where Javier came in. We all didn’t know how to take this. I was excited and well my brothers didn’t take it so well. Years and years of being with each other. Kevin, Dylan, and I are still strong together. They try to accept Javier but its hard sometimes because arguments and fights happen. But oh well I love my brothers without them I think I wouldn’t have learned to be patient, caring and a good listener. Thanks guys.

Grandma

Grandma! I love her. She always believes me and I consider her a lot like a mother. (more than my own mother sometimes) Anyways she’s an amazing lil lady indeed. She can put a smile on my face and make me believe that life can go on and the future is bright. God I love her! If it weren't for her probably id be bitter and not care about life. My grandma helps my mother raise us. To tell the truth she does most of the raising. Kids are like puppies where ever love is that’s where they want to be. Same thing with my grandma every child wants to be with her because all she can give is love. Yeah I argue with her but I consider that normal. She is the reason I want to become a nurse. I hope to help as many people as I can just so they can live happy long lives. My grandmother is my inspiration for a lot of things in my life and I cant trust her with everything. I love you abuela (Spanish for grandma). Hope you live for many years to come.

Anathalie Benjamin

What to say about her. Well she is my best friend and I’ve known her for 3 years. She is also another reason what has made me today me. I really never had a best friend. Never really trusted anybody. Had friends but none I can trust then in 6th grade we met. Talking about dogs and really I was going to buy a dog that’s the only reason I talked to her. But I got to know her better and really best friends forever. We were really similar on how we acted and our family's as well. Our brothers were friends for a short while but we kept strong. Her mother had 4 children and she's a single mother trying to raise 4 kids as well. We don’t go to the same school but we still text each other and talk on the phone. My sister Anathalie. Forever and always.

Keren Sangalaza

Hmm… What to say about Keren. Well she is also my best friend but kind of like a mother to me. She is also a friend of 3 years. She helped me through math. She helped me survive through 8th grade. Emotionally we are connected. I am the kind of person who has a fake smile so is she. Broken inside so is she. Both of us are truly happy. We are happy only around certain people. I find her a supporting person who loves people. I've never found anybody else who has enjoyed my company she made me feel loved and wanted like Anathalie did as well. I love you Keren . Scene kids 4 life!

Liessy Diana Matos

My crazy sister from another mother and father! She is my crazy bipolar bestie. Another chick I can relate to in lie with a mother she argues with a lot. Liessy is the best because of her I learned to have fun with life no matter how much it sucks. She made life bearable by making me laugh no matter how sad I am. Met her in 8th grade as well. This is starting to make me miss my friends from last years Miss. Zimmerman! Anyways I thought at first Liessy was going to be the chick who could kick my butt I still think she can but she loves me to much. I assumed to much which I know I shouldn’t know but I don’t care she's still my best friend. I can be myself with her and bipolar as well. I change moods a lot without wanting too. Bipolar buddies forever. Even though we aren't actually bipolar we do act that way sometimes but we don’t care. Which also how she has shown me how not to care about what people think about me. Good because really I'm going to be judged I should either learn how to not care or how to show I'm not what they think. Anyways thank you Liessy for being kind of like a sister. I love you.

Luiz Salazar

I don’t know why I’m going to add him but I need to so you can understand my 13th reason. This short Brazilian is one of the biggest jerks in the world. But he is still my friend in a sort of way. We usually talk a lot about anime my slight obsession with Asia. Anyways he can be sweet when he wants to be but a very big jerk when he wants to be. But I grew a strange love of friends for him because he is awesome and funny. Luiz caused a life changing thing for me which Ill explain for you in my 13th reason. He showed me that there are going to be people that don’t care. That’s him and he could careless if I were sick or depressed or anything. He showed me how to keep my life to myself or to someone who cares. Thank you Luiz and thanks for now caring. I love you batman. (by the way he thinks he’s batman)

Zorimar Melo

Sarcastic but I love her. Zorimar was one of my first good friends in high school and is still a good friend maybe becoming a best friend not sure. Anyways I think she's funny and she can put a smile on my face. I love her sarcasm and she is another person who can make me smile not a fake one but real. I think I would still be alone and having a very bad freshman year. One of my mega awesome friends who are trying to make me more girly but I really don’t care I guess I should. Anyways she makes high school actually fun which not a lot of people do. I call her crazy and that there's more to her that I want to discover. I love yaaa Zorimar. Lets see how long our friendship will long.

Joel Colon

Well Joel is one of my best friends that I rely in. we may not have the same religious views but we are still good friends. I can tell him I'm depressed and he tries to cheer me up. He sometimes fail but he still tries. Joel is like my brother that I can tell anything with. I have a lot of trust in him and I know he wont tell any body a thing of what goes on in my head. I’ll do the same for him. Without him I would probably be a bigger emotional mess. But I am not. Thank you Joel forever I’ll trust you.

Kevin Collado

To say about Kevin is that he is awesome and another person who can make me smile and think about life as a good way. He’s another person who tries to understand me but cant I’m just that confusing. Kevin is a strange dude sometimes. Laid back doesn’t care so much about life just that he has to live it to the fullest. I consider him so much like a brother because my brothers name is Kevin as well. If I wanted to have a fun time I would have to text him he's just that fun and I can be random with him. Kevin you make life worth while Thank you. BUDDIESS FOREVER!!

Lillian Lima

My loving friend. Now this a good friend right here who can take a joke and not get offended. An amazing girl who I would love to make mine but I am with someone already. She is one of my good friends that I trust very much. I would be incomplete without her help. She understands me. Lillian can go through anything with me and still be my best friend. I have not known her for long but I don’t care. The thing about Lillian is another person who knows how to laugh at life in the face. Laid back and friendly to anyone she meets as long as you don’t get her on your bad side. I can talk to her about everything. Another good trustworthy friend. I don’t have many and I’m she's one of mines. Thank you

Bryand Cardenas

Bryand Cardenas a good friend and an amazing guy that I love. I don’t care anymore if anybody knows. I love him. He is the one who has made me happy through the six months I have been with him. No one else can make me smile like he can. Life is possible to live through with him. I used to be a girl who thought of suicide I know weird right. But not anymore I have changed into this happy girl I wish to stay as. Please Miss. Zimmerman don’t take this into alarm ok I am ok now. Anyways back to Bryand. He made me the most happiest girl ever. Gave me my first kiss and I hope we stay together for a long time. He is my 13th reason because he was the one who made me back to myself happy, laughing, and loving school again. My motivation for living. Thank you Luiz for putting us together for making us meet. For Bryand I love you and I hope I stays this way. Thank you.

These have been my 13 reasons how I became the person I am today so I hope you enjoyed it.

Thank you
