Sergio A. Chaparro was the kind of kid that would never show his sadness. Instead he would always have a big smile in his face. During middle school all we did was play like little kid, and are biggest hobby was playing an online games called Fiesta Online (gamingo). Little did I know, that for him it wasn’t just a game, it was more of a portal that helped him scape reality. One day we were walking to his house, when suddenly we see a little Chihuahua running and barking at us. It was funny how a dog that was smaller than foot was trying to intimidate us. Well, it was funny until I turned around and saw Sergio climbing a tree. At first I thought he was a scary cat, but then I realized that people act differently, and that their attitude is shaped by the experiences you had throughout your life. He told me how he got bit on his leg by a big dog when he was little, and he even showed me the scar it left him. That day I understood, that I should not judge a book by it cover. Three years had passed since I meet Sergio, unfortunately we weren’t in the same class anymore or even on the same city. I moved to a town an hour away from Chihuahua, but we would talk from Facebook or skype when ever we played games together. When you have known a person for three years you would have expected you know most of his life. Well this is the fun part in life, you never know what you’re going to see or learn the next day.

He is a freshman right now in college, because he had to drop school for a year, in order to help his mom economically. Sergio is also the current MMA amateur state champion (RedCage), and I been there to support him since his debut fight. Last night I was talking with him, and I was telling him how proud I was of having a friend like him. Then Sergio said “If your proud of me then you must be proud of you, because you were the light when my world was turning dark.”
I admire Sergio, because he never gave up no matter how difficult life got. He continued to move forward. I believe that if there was more people like Sergio in this world, those around them would be inspired to be like them, and we would have more admirable people than whiners in the world. His inspiration was Bruce lee, but your inspiration could be Sergio himself.
