Growing up- Carlos

I finally finished the book , and in the end there was a plot twist. Basically Carlos discoveres that by going to a party that Sheccid, the girl that he thought he loved so much is actually a prostitute. Carlos was shocked by the realization. He was very sad for her. But he did not judge her. He knew from then on they could probably never be together though. So instead of being sorrowful and heartbroken Carlos used his broken heart and changed it into a better story with a better ending. He let Sheccid inspire him to become a better person for all the struggle he went through to be with her. He developed many talents and gifts through the process, he even realized what he wanted to be when he grew up, a writer. Sometimes we put more efforts to better ourselves or make sure we do things the best we can so we can show the people we love how much they mean to us. Even though it may be hard at times, sometimes anyone who knows what its like to really love someone (wheather it be mom, dad, brother, sister, boyfriend/girlfriend) we know how it is to go through great lengths to just to see that person smile, for whatever reason. In the story I also learned that  love is a very beautiful thing but it hurts sometimes too.
