This piece was about a girl named Sara Martinez who lives with her younger siblings one of which is autistic that means that he is not just like other kids and things don’t come easy for him so because Sara’s parents work a lot she becomes somewhat of Diego’s (her little brother) caretaker or “second mom”. This is a very hard task that becomes very time consuming. I can relate to her greatly because I have to take care of my younger brothers a lot when my parents go out ,or if they have to work late his is definitely difficult when I’m trying to do school work. But in a way I consider it bonding time. I do consider Sara a hero like her sister mentioned in the piece because she does so much I truly commend her for that. I hope she makes it somewhere with her music because her voice is great. Overall I loved this piece it was very well done.
