Anastacio
has hard personality, he is fighting for his dream, and he has a goal. He was a
really obsessive with it and he lost his family.
Berta
and Emilio in my personal opinion are good people they tried to have a close
family but they could not.
This
story gives a reflection because people can dream, can fight to get his or her
goal but all in our live need to have a limit, a balance.
The
family is the most important that God gave us.
