Mirian Serrutti, living with her mother in a small house with two bedrooms, a living room and a bathroom, was an inheritance left to her by her maternal grandmother, was 16 years old when her second sister Didia was born. Three months after the girl was born, her mother Thaima suddenly fell ill with a high fever every day, so Mirian had to stop studying to take care of her mother and little sister.
One night she went to her mother's room, to see how her little sister was doing, her mother very fragile says to her:
"Daughter, I want you to take very good care of your little sister, I love you very much".
Mirian very maturely replies to her mother:
"Mother I love her too, but you must calm down so that she gets better soon".
Thaima replies to them very fatigued:
"I think it is better that you pass your little sister to sleep with you, it is to be calmer".
Mirian, like an obedient daughter, moved her little sister's crib to her room. She cuddled her to sleep in her bed, sang her a lullaby, and in the end they both fell asleep. The next day she got up, changed her sister Didia's diaper and put her in her crib.
She went to the kitchen and prepared breakfast for her mother. She went into the room, kissed her mother on the cheek and said:
"Despeirtese the sun is up, here is your breakfast to make you stronger".
Thaima very sleepy did not answer anything, Mirian very lovingly sat on her bed, caressed her head and put her index finger on her nose. She realized that her mother was not breathing, for a moment panic invaded her soul, but for the same reason she went out to the street and looked for her neighbor Felicia, a nurse who lived in front of her house, she told her what was happening, both ran to her house, Felicia touched her and told Mirian:
"Something very strong has happened, your mother has passed away".
Mirian cried inconsolably, however her neighbor Felicia supported her with the burial of her mother and baby sister. After burying Thaima, the two were left alone in their house, Felicia always supported her with food and some things to take care of the baby.
Two years later, Mirian had turned 18. Felicia arrived at Mirian's house in the afternoon:
"Mirian, at the clinic where I work they are looking for a secretary, all you have to do is take calls and write down in a notebook the patients of the day in order of arrival."
Mirian became very distressed, she says to Felicia:
"Oh God how am I going to do I don't have proper clothes, who is going to take care of Didia?".
Felicia very excited replies to her:
"Don't worry, I will look for clothes for you, Didia we are taking her to the lady who takes care of my daughters, so get ready you start first thing tomorrow".
The night came, Mirian very restless imagining how her first day of work would be, while sleeping Didia fell asleep. When morning came, she felt a knock at the door, it was Felicia, she was carrying a bag with a short button down shirt, a long skirt and high heels. She got ready to go to work, took Didia in her arms, dressed her and took her with Felicia to the house of the lady who took care of Felicia's girls.
When they got into the car Mirian was very nervous, just looking at the sky she said:
"God help me in this situation, I just want them to give me the job to help my little sister".
Arriving at the clinic, Felicia saw her boss, Dr. Guerra, she explained:
"This is Mirian Serrutti, the young lady who is going to be your secretary, she is a young lady who is very eager to work and responsible."
Dr. Guerra, amazed by the explanation Felicia had given him, said:
"Let's go to my office and take a seat".
The young women entered the office, which had two divisions, one with a chair and a desk with a notebook, a pencil and the secretary's telephone, there were five chairs for attending patients, in the other space was the desk, the doctor's chair and a stretcher for the patient . Mirian was very dazzled by the posters she saw with images of the parts of the heart, the doctor sitting in his chair, said to Mirian:
"Have a seat, Felicia with this explanation, I have nothing more to tell you Mirian, you are very young, but why do you want to work?".
Mirian very nervous sat in the chair, she said to the doctor Guerra:
"Two years ago my mother passed away, I was left alone with my little sister who is only two years old, my greatest wish is to be able to give her all the economic support she needs to grow up as a normal child without limitations".
That is how Mirian began to work, everything she earned was for Didia's household expenses and utensils. Mirian worked with Dr. Guerra for many years.
Didia grew up, graduated from high school, then studied medicine at the university, graduating and becoming the best doctor in her career.
