Dear Oprah,
This is not a followup story in my behave.
It is my story of a real survival.
My name is Enrique González from Arecibo, Puerto Rico. I'm fifty years old and this is my surviving story.
I Am a Survival.
I'm really a survival. At age eight I was strongly taken away from my mother by my father becasue he killed her because she was having an affair; in other words she was seeing another man.
During my college years I had another strong departure from a family member. My father committed suicide six weeks before my graduation.
I have struggled many years to overcome these two family tragedies but faith is the name of the game. Now I'm being confronted with another challenge of survival; I have become over the years visually impaired. It is harder now being visually impaired due to the fact that I continue teaching English as a Second language and I have become quite difficult many times to recognize the students outside the classroom. I have a aid teacher with me and this helps me a lot. Though my visual condition as increase over the years I enjoy to teach since it is the only professiion that I think I would have chosen to accomplish. Also I am a very happy family man.
Yours truly,
A Fan.
Enrique González
