A sister is a gift to the heart, a friend to the spirit, a golden thread to the meaning of life. Claudia was Born April 13, 1982 in Guatemala, the daughter of Luis Calderon, Auditor and Aída Regina Blanco Pérez, Business Administrator. She is the oldest one and has a sister named Diana del Rosario Calderón Blanco. She studied at the Instituto Belga Guatemalteco until third grade, and then she moved to the Colegio Verbo. Always obtained the grades number one in her class in both elementary and high school. Her favorite subjects were always Math, Science and English. During the primary did gymnastics for 4 years.

Claudia is my cousin and also my best friend. She is single but she has a boyfriend. As she is a PE teacher, she likes working outdoors with people of all ages. On weekdays she gets up very early in the morning and works until eleven o'clock in the evening so she is not able to spend much time with her family and friends. On weekends she travels as much as she can, considering she likes going to original places and loves new experiences. She loves shopping and she buys whatever catches her eyes.
My cousin , who is especially loyal to her internal value systems, believes that family is extremely important and so she dedicates all her spare time to them. Friends are also central in her life and this is shown in her reliableness and faithfulness. A strong sense of responsibility and duty guides her behaviour towards people in need. Although she has all these many qualities.
For Claudia, the keys to success are hard work, honesty and perseverance. Undoubtedly my cousin is an extraordinarily unique person that is why I love her.
Many people in my life have been a positive influence, but I have decided to write about one person in particular. I admire this person greatly. This person is my cousin, Claudia.
Claudia is a very special cousin. She is the sister I always dream to have. One of the main reasons I admire her so much is her lovingness to her family. She was always caring and loving to all of our family. Because of her love, she always kept her promises. Responsibility is a word that describes Claudia.Another big reason I admire her is because of the intelligence she had.
