Differences And Similarities Between Lisa And Marcelo

Everyone has similarities to other people in some way, but it is the differences that make us unique and different from everybody else. Two of my classmates Lisa Gordon and Marcelo Hernandez seem like very busy and active people in their everyday life. They have their own types of hobbies, activities, desires and educational goals. Although they have a couple of similarities in those aspects, it is their differences that stand out the most. It seems that coming from two different states to end up in the same one really brought out the variety of differences two people can experience. Lisa and Marcelo are very dissimilar and seek different desires in life, but would very well get a long in a book club as they both like to read.

The place
where someone is born can really have an impact on someone’s beliefs, norms, and views on life, which can be a big part on how a person acquires different things to their life for joy. Lisa was born in Colorado but has lived in Florida, Texas, and now currently in Hobbs. Alongside with Lisa, Marcelo was born and raised in El Paso, Texas, and has currently been living in Hobbs for the past 3 years. Lisa is currently single with no kids and has no intentions of having her own, but she has two nieces that she loves and cares for deeply as if they were her own children. Lisa and her nieces are very close because she is a full-time nanny for them during the day. Marcelo on the other hand, has been married for 13 years and has 2 kids that he focuses on very dearly also. Lisa and Marcelo both like to get involved with their children’s/niece’s activities, which involves encouragement in soccer, competitive swimming, and girl scouts. The most important thing in life to Marcelo is his wife and kids, as for Lisa, it is her nieces. Family is really important to everyone, and for both of them it is their world.

Lisa and Marcelo have different personalities and with that comes different aspirations and dreams on what they want to achieve educationally and as a career.
Marcelo is currently attending school to become an accountant because he has been exposed to it, and likes it. Most of his family has pursued that career, which includes his grandfather, several aunts, uncles, and cousins. His family has influenced him in a big way, because growing up around it was a big part as to why he decided what to study. Lisa, instead, is a full-time student with the goal of becoming a teacher. She enjoys being with her nieces during the day, so she would enjoy being with 20 other children just like them. Both Lisa and Marcelo are employed in full-time jobs. Lisa has two full-time jobs, one of them being a nanny for her nieces during the day, and an admitting clerk for the ER during the night. Marcelo is an oil hauler for Plains All- American, so both are quite busy during the day. Lisa and Marcelo, are both working full-time jobs, with the desire to pursue a career in which they would both be comfortable and familiar
in.

Everyone has their own way of fulfilling their pleasures, relaxations, and ease for the mind through their hobbies.
On their free time, Marcelo and Lisa would both enjoy book clubs or stores as they enjoy reading. More calm hobbies that Marcelo enjoys is playing the serene game of chess. Like Marcelo, Lisa also acquires herself with more calm hobbies that consists of crafts such as crocheting, painting, and jewelry making. On her free time Lisa also likes to go swimming on a hot summer day to feel refreshed. For fun, Marcelo likes to discuss politics, so watching the candidates’ debate the next few days should be an interesting topic for him. Both Lisa and Marcelo like to watch TV, preferably dramas for Marcelo. Writing is one of Lisa’s favorite things to do, as it is a great skill she has accumulated and it has shown in this class through the different assignments. One of their most favorite hobbies is being involved with activities that include their children and nieces. They focus on that aspect in their life the most because it is one of the most important to them as they value the time with their loved ones the most out of all the
hobbies.

They live in similar states, but they came from a different one and that is a good metaphor on how to get a good look on how they compare. Lisa and Marcelo have more differences than similarities in their lifestyle. They both value and respect their time with loved ones and like to read on their free time. Their educational goals are quite different, but that doesn’t exclude the fact that they are both seeking a career that interferes with a variety of people. Both their careers are influenced by the people they love and are around the most. To me, they seem like very active and busy people that love to do different things. Lisa is an independent woman that always has something to do, and relaxation time is filled with adventurous and different genres. Her goal of becoming a teacher is influenced by her two loving nieces. Marcelo is a loving father who provides for his family and strives for the career of an accountant influenced by most of his family. Lisa and Marcelo have different desires, different lifestyles, but one goals of becoming what they want to be and do whatever it takes.
