My Mother Melania Marte De Santos

The one that stood with me and cared for me the most, my mother Melania Marte de Santos. Ever since I could remember, my mother has always been the one to support me both physically and mentally. She is the one that gave birth to both me and my little sister. My mother, just like myself, was born in The Dominican republic, a small Hispanic island in the Caribbean.

My mother has always demanded things for me not because she likes to be annoying, but because she cares about me. Along with her caring demandingness, she is also very warm and
