As Basho had his Enlightenment as a Spiritual one , I have experienced an encounter in my own life as he did.I have always been brought up in church. My mother is always attending her groups at church and my father is always staying home taking care of my younger brother; since he has autism. My mother has always taught me to be very positive and strive for what you want in life and fight for it because no one else would do it for you.My father taught me how to be independent and to learn how to do accomplish things with out counting on people.

When I turned the age of fourteen, I started attending this youth group called "Jovenes De Valor" which in English means "Youth of Value". Did not know why was so attached to this youth group. I would never miss the meetings; which were always taken place every Friday. Many teenagers would meet up and discuss about how they go threw certain situations such as temptations,peer pressure and issues with their family's. I never quite understood many of them , however I did try my best to help them out in what ever way possible. Every Friday would pass by , the group would get bigger week by week. Then one day I just started talking to this one girl who was having family issues who attended the group and she was seeking for help and I prayed for God to give me wisdom for me to help this young girl out , and I gave her advice on how to work on her bearings. The next week comes and she comes to me and says , 'Thank you for helping me out; I took your advice and I'm learning how to understand my family and I'm willing to cooperate with them all.' When she told me this, it was such a time of Enlightenment in my life. I never knew I had the potential to help someone out and to have such a driven passion to assist people in my youth group. This experience made me much wiser and more ambitious to help make a positive difference in this world.
