Alex and Alexa

Yesterday I met with my best friend, Alex. He is a really good guy but do some issues and misunderstandings he was kicked out of home by his mother a couple of months ago. Alex is 18, not a kid anymore but not an adult either and now he has to live alone. he was never the cleanest guy or the best dressed one but now after a couple of months of leaving alone he looks dreadful. he is as skinny as a Zimbawean boy, no offense intended, and he looked like he hasnt showered in days. 

Alex works in a vidrieria, his hands are full of cuts, rough. He makes forty pesos more than minimum wage. those 90 daily pesos are barely enough to pay rent, services and eat. I cant imagine how someone can sustain a family with minimum wage. Alex is going through a rough time but he is always whiling to work hard and have a smily face when he does. he has dreams and he is working hard to achieve them. I think Alex is a great example of hard work and I am very proud of being his friend. 

The important thing is not the problems and obstacles that we encounter along the way but the attitude we take towards such.
