Do you know when they say that babies are gifts from heaven well I don’t know if to say it was a miracle or destiny? Hi, my name is Abraham and this is the story of the baby I saved. It happened, in Austin, Texas at 8:20 AM. America the land of opportunity and home of the brave. Like any other day, it was morning; I always had set my alarm clock for 7:20 AM to give me an early start at my day going to school. 

I was a senior almost to the end of my high school life. and at the start of my college life and I wanted to be a technological scientist of the environment. Everything was going good and today I was excited because today I would be getting my scholarship to the M.I.T university and that’s what I was thinking about heading over to the school. 

Today was the day that would greatly change my life and open the doors of the promised land or so I thought anyway. Before I left my home I very carefully made sure that I had everything for school. After all, today was a very big opportunity for me and one that I could use to help send money to my family. Providing for my family was something that was brought on by my father. My father Otilio Rodriguez reminded us as boys that it is the responsibility of the man to help provide for the family.

    I proceed to walk outside and lock the door to my apartment. I then get in my car and drive to Crockett. As I park my car I notice a very large crowd surrounding my school building. This girl I know named Gaia was probably one of the smartest people I knew. There was something strange about her she was holding something? Small in her hands I didn't know what it was and everybody was screaming like crazy and then it happened. what I never believed happened and I saw with my own eyes she killed herself and for some reason, the small object she was holding got stuck in one of the letters of the school and without even thinking about it. I caught and realized it was a baby I didn't know what to do at that moment so I just ran like an Olympic gold medalist to my parent's home and when I reached the house, I was still holding the baby.

The one to notice this was my little sister Yadira and told my family and they panic like if I was in a court and my mom is the judge my sister and my dad are the juries and I am the guy who is found guilty so I told them what  happen and they calmed down but we still don't know what to do with this baby my mom said “well we should keep him” i said “what are you crazy this is not even my child” “well you cannot just leave it all around in the street to die I didn't raise you up like that to be heartless and so selfish” and I say “but what about my future and my whole life i just can’t let it go for just this baby that not even mine this is just dead weight that is going to interfere with my plans and I think the responsible thing to do is to give it to the authorities and make sure that they take care of this and not get in trouble that will get me into jail also this is considered  kidnapping” and then my dad comes into the living room and with a face of anger and sadness said that I was right and I felt happy because I felt that I just missed a lost bullet 

so I went nervous to the police station I saw Gaia's parents and his uncle that I really hate was drunk, Gaia's father was crying and holding his wife so she didn’t fall and collapse in the middle of the street and Gaia's uncle was in a dark corner drinking and he said “who knew that girls could get so easily pregnant and keep drinking.” and I was shocked thinking how possible it was. “she is your niece why would you that kind of thing to your niece is part of your family.” and i almost puked and I started to think what would happen to the child and I started thinking about what would happen to the child if I talked to the police of what I heard and take the child and were are they gonna take him to child services and I I know that is noylt a safe place by the stories my friends who lost their parents but the government take away their families by separating them because is more easy for them find families if they are single then if they are in group or if he is gonna be safe. or if he is scared then for one moment I notice those thoughts in my head even though it was not my baby still I will let this baby suffer so I went home.

    When I arrive home I was in the front door everyone was looking me with a sharp and deadly sight that make the sharpest and deadliest knife to feel like a smooth and warmer compared to my family eyes but got warmer with they saw the baby I was  holding and they ask me why I didn’t turn the baby and I told them why I decided to keep it and raise it like if it was mine and then my mom makes a really important question. “How you will name the child’’.

And I started to think for the name and then my grandma and grandpa that live in Mexico come for visit and they saw the baby and ask “who's this baby belong to ?’’. And I say “ Hola abuelita this is my baby’’. My grandma with a happy face said “ohh is so beautiful where is his mom?’’ “she is not anymore with us in this world’’.“ohh my boy I am so sorry’’. “Thank You Abuelita’’ “so what is this little angel name’’ “that’s what i am working on Abuelita’’ “ooh i know Quetzalcoatl’’ “why abuelita that’s a weird name no offence Abuelita and what is a Quetzalcoatl’’ “Quetzalcoatl is the feathered snake the ancient god of the Aztecs of the sun, sky and agriculture’’ “still I don't get it  ’’ Abuelita said “well his hair reminds me the ray of the sun and those blue eyes are so blue like a clear sky and this is the seed of the home of liberty’’ and that’s how the name of mine child was made.

Well i needed to stay in Austin so I can take care of my little boy and but still I need to find a way to make money and so the only thing that comes to my mind was getting a diploma but the only place that I think of is going to the  ACC and to enter in some extracurricular so I can go to the U.T and leave this small place then comes a teacher with some papers maybe they are maps that what think at first but then I see other teachers and I got it is the freshman hunt were they looking for new boys so they joint in one of those clubs but I don't have time for those type of unnecessary time wasters.

Then teacher comes towards me and says “hello I am Mr.Arturo Jaimes the HVAC professor ’’ hello I am Abraham from David   the school across the street and yes you guessed I am a freshman’’ “ohh please to meet you" then I asked the question that would change my entire life from that moment “so Mr.Arturo can you explain to me the what is HVAC ” and whit a smile that was the same as casual and calm like when you were speaking with a friend that you haven't seen in a long time told me “HVAC is an acronym that means Heating.Vacuum.Air.Conditioning" and I don't know why but the face of his expression maybe was the face I was putting myself or more possible was the response that I gave him “so ahh you're the a/c guys" Mr.Arturo responds with a frustrated voice “yeah is one of the topmost wanted programs in ACC why did interest you" and in my mind, I was laughing so hard that I thought that Mr.Arturo heard me but didn't have the time or the patience to be fooling around with ac's I change my face and tone to make my point and said “sorry Mr.Arturo I thank you for the

offer but that is not for me you see I am trying to help the people and the environment by making solar panels eco-friendly cars wind turbine things that make things more friendly for this planet and so learning how to repair a/c a tool that literally is destroying our ozone layer just that I can make some cash goes with everything believe in so yes thanks good luck finding students and have a nice day"

and before I could leave Mr.Arturo started laughing and said to me “Abraham right" “yes why?" I responded he smiled again with full confidence and said to me “you look like a smart boy" “actualy I'm top of my generation and had a GPA of 4.0 so I would say I know I two" responded fully with thconfidenced Mr.Arturo then with more confidence on his tone he calls me and ask “you know what all those things have in common" “what" I asked “they have motors and motors overheat" “yes that is why the cooling system is their" and right there is saw that I have fallen into his trap “see even if you build them they would still destroy the ozone layer even if they are eco-friendly but that is why we exist not just repair the machine problem but also the ozone problem we are also persons who lived in this world the problems that you talk is also are problems and the cars do you think that a person will be fine if they a/c in their car doesn't work will actually that is a serious problem because if a person that is driving and is really hot

they might suficade and die and is more possible for kids and even worst babies or if is too cold that there hand freeze and lose control of the car or the air is too cold the window freeze and is blocking your eye sight a/c is not just a desire but a necessity and thanks to a/c Desert places that is too hot or to cold we can go there and yes we might be still facing some problems but people has been doing this for

years and you know why because it works until they find a new and better solution and you know there is a saying if you want to help start at home imagen if you help one hundred homes at day and hey you live at Texas one of the hottest sates imagen how many people use there a/c at home just telling you so you think a little better’’

and at that moment I start thinking it doesn't sound so boring so I say to myself I'll try it for a semester let’s see how this class look like.
