My name is Arelis Josefina Aponte Arape
My married name is Arelis J. Marsh
I was born in the city of Cabimas, Venezuela
October 12, 1970
I would like to start by saying that I was a very fortunate girl to come to this earth.
I was born of good parents, and I received a lot of love and instruction that they taught me by example
and dedication. Loved by an aunt who took care of me like I was her little girl and I still feel her love.
My beloved Aunt Miriam, I treasure every day that I shared with her, she was my example. I can never forget her.
There are so many things that I carry in my heart. Loving grandparents, I remember with emotion. I loved to share with my cousins, a good time of very fun vacations. Some vacations at the grandparents’ house, it was something incredible and unforgettable. I really felt loved since I was a child and that has been important in my life because I have been able to feel and give love. From a very young age talking to adults was my favorite thing, explaining what I had learned in school.
I liked to read and sometimes my father would read me a book called Nevado, it was a dog that ran and ran. I still remember it! Friends said that I read with emotion and so they spent time listening to a 7-year-old girl.
I have always liked to observe everything carefully, the trees, the flowers and birds all around me and so I can create a better world in my mind. I don’t get bored and they always ask me, don’t you get bored? I answer No! I really always like to look at observing very small things that are around us and that has helped me to focus on other things that people have forgotten about. Simple things. The idea is to learn to be connected with things that make you grow. I have sought my own way of living, happy and grateful with what I live, with what I have. For me, being thankful to God is everything.
Seeing my mother when I was little, seeing her love for everyone, her sacrifices and dedication marked me. I think I am who I am because she helped create my character and the Lord shaped it. I loved helping my mom and chatting with her all the time. I learned how to be a mom. I have many brothers and sisters that I love with all my soul and taking care of them was part of giving love and making sure that they were well. It was part of what I had set out to do as the older sister.
I had excellent teachers, who attentively observed me, helping me develop my talents of expression and reciting. I am talkative and outgoing. This has given me many opportunities to progress and learn, many doors have been opened with good jobs and experiences that have helped me to keep going.
We should not be afraid to succeed for fear of failure. That phrase has helped me a lot, undertaking something with encouragement, dedication and perseverance is what I think and feel to start something. And time proves me right. I love to dream, and make my dreams come true. I say dreams when they really are goals come true.
What I love the most is my family, there is no greater treasure that GOD could give me. My parents, brothers and sisters who have accompanied me in life, loving me and I really appreciate that. My support, my joy, my happiness, the greatest treasure that life could give me. I am very lucky because I am loved by all my family. I have a beautiful daughter who calls me mom. It is the most beautiful thing I hear. I really wanted it. I always wanted to be a mother and in this life to give the love I felt from everyone else. I have an older daughter who lives in heaven, her heavenly abode. She was my first daughter. A great love that I will never forget, called Diana Liseth. It is my little star that lights up for eternity. I have beautiful and intelligent nieces and nephews who I love as if they were my own children. They each have different talents, abilities and personalities. They are incredible!
Many good people have accompanied me on this path of life and have played parts as well. Some play the role of villains (ha ha ha). Thanks! You did well! Learning was not easy, but you grow and it is important. Know that everything happens for a reason and overcoming it will mold your character and reaffirm your personality. Those people have done their part well, loving me, taking care of me and teaching me. A big applause… ..! I love them. They are in my heart. Thank you for being in my life.
Some will ask, do you have a love in your life? I would like to tell you that I have always been in love with love with so many dreams and longings. As I think it is normal for everyone to live dreaming of the perfect relationship. That was me. My dreams and reality were different. But life continued and that is what I decided, to move on.
Finally one day I was in a relationship with who is currently my beloved husband, my traveling companion, my love, my support and my complement. He loves me, takes care of me and lets me fly free with my dreams and goals. A helping hand in this life.
My beloved readers I have much more to tell! I hope I don’t bore you. Thank you for being here!
