Mr. Turner. He is my Biology professor. He has traveled the world and tells stories and facts from different places in his classes.
John is a local lifeguard. He loves his work and the beach.
Sussy. She was a woman that lived in a nursing home and gave me valuable advice every time I volunteered there.
Explanation:
My biology professor is a young man that amazes me because he is always making his classes interesting since he tells us stories from all the places that he has visited. He likes exploring the world and involving in adventures. This is something that inspires me and encourages me to take more risks in life. Maybe one day, I will be traveling the world as he did.
John is a lifeguard who is in love with his job and his community. He enjoys taking care of the people on the beach. John risks his life rescuing swimmers in trouble, helps people when they lost their things on the beach, and assists them when they do not feel well. He is always on alert and is by your side when he sees something wrong. John is someone that loves what he does and is compromised to do his job well. Thanks to him, I realized that helping others is one of the best things we can do in life. There is no satisfaction like that.
Sussy was a lovely lady from the nursing home where I volunteered. She always had a positive attitude and gave me the best advice that I could have ever had. She could not do much since she was ill and in a wheelchair, but her attitude towards life and problems was remarkable. She made me realize that the way we think or our attitude in different situations is crucial. A negative attitude makes us sad, and we do not improve. A positive one, even in the worst scenarios, makes us move forward.
This story is an important part of both Greek and Roman mythology because it is a story that connects the two cultures. I think that this story could be adapted for our current culture because it addressed issues that are still prominent in our society today. I would create a contemporary version of “Proserpine” featuring an alcoholic (Pluto) a young woman walking home from work at night (Proserpine) and an old lady who witnessed the kidnapping (Hecate).
