MY HERO

I’m going to talk about Albert Espinosa. He is a writer, a screenwriter, a playwright and a cinema director. He’s mainly known for being the writer of a show called Polseres Vermelles, or The Red Band Society in English, which is more or less inspired by his personal life. When he was 12, he was told that he had cancer and from that point he spent all his adolescence in different hospitals. Finally he beat the cancer but he lost a leg, a lung and a part of the liver.

I admire him because he fought to beat the cancer, and even though he lost, not only things like a leg or a lung, he also lost friends that he made in the hospital that were also ill, he never gave up and he kept fighting. And apart from that, the thing that I admire the most about him is that he hasn’t only beaten the cancer, he is also helping other people to do it. He is helping people with cancer or with other illnesses to be strong and to fight. And actually, not only people with healthy problems, he is also helping people with other kind of problems or people that don’t have a big problem. He is helping them to see the bright side of the things, to be positive and to be thankful for what they have.

And that’s why I think he is a good role model and a good person to look up to.
