About Laura

My best friend is Laura because she is a hard worker and will not give up until her task is done. Laura is bilingual and she grew up in a Mexican family. When she turned sixteen her mom brought her across the border so she could start working. Also, she makes sure everything is spotless everywhere. If something does not fit in the closet she makes it fit. Laura makes herself available and she figures out a way to do stuff. For example, if my chair is broken she figures out a way to fix it. Laura is also a good cook. She cooks all of the different types of Mexican food such as Mexican rice and home-made tacos.  She always dresses up nice, and she’s always up to date with the latest fashion.

When I first met Laura it was in Santee. One of the most memorable times I had with her was when I found out that she had a visa I didn’t know that she was going to work for me until three days later and then that week she took Samantha and me to TJ for one whole week. As we were crossing the border my dog had barked and the security guard shined his flashlight towards the back of the vehicle and Samantha popped her head out the back window. The security guard had asked what kind of a dog was in the back of the van and I said, “It is my service animal.” Some of the things we did in Mexico were that we went to parties, hung out with friends and family..

I was upset because I had no one to put me in bed and I called Laura. She was already there at my house. They were looking for someone to take Beth’s place and 3 o’clock shift the next day. I had asked Laura that I wanted a meeting with my case manager. I told Beth that Laura was doing all the work so I had to hire someone else. I had asked Laura if she would be willing to work full time for me and it turns out she had been working eight years for me. It will be nine years to current times. If I asked for a ride to the bowling alley or the hospital she would figure out a way to bring me from point A to point B. If it wasn’t her, I wouldn’t know what to do without her. Her kids also help when and if it is needed with me. Also, she had taken me to the Price Is Right, Knott’s Soak City, and some other places without asking. She also has had helped me move from Santee to San Diego where I currently live. When we have a problem, we talk to each other about them and discuss how we are going to work it out. We also put heads together and try to see if we are able to fix a problem without our coordinator. If somehow we can’t figure out how to solve the problem in time, we ask her family if they have an idea for a solution. Then after the problem is finished, she realizes that she makes the problem seem like a big deal.

In conclusion, my best friend Laura is an exceptional person because she is hardworking and also very creative in solving problem.
