This is the story of a young man named "Lopajo". He was only 15 years old, he was in his 4th year of high school and during his free time he was helping his mother.

When he was 12 years old, his father died in the city hospital. His father had been smoking all his life and when he saw the doctor for the last time, he had been diagnosed with lung cancer and there was nothing they could do to save him, the disease was too advanced.

But Lopajo and his father spent many special moments, one of those moments was when his father took him fishing, he always remembers that moment and remembers what his father always told him. "Son, I want you to promise me that if someday I should be gone, you will take good care of your mother and always remember to leave a small mark on someone."

Lopajo managed to graduate from high school with the best grades of the whole school, he wasted no time and entered one of the best universities in the country to study chemical engineering.

For many years Lopajo was helping his mother, she sewed and designed clothes, Lopajo sold them to his friends and teachers. Many of the clothes he wears are his mother's designs, he also sold clothes in the market and 80% of the money he gave to his mother, he kept 20% because his mother had told him so some time ago.

Although many people who knew him always told him that he had a gift for sales, Lopajo and his mother although they were not wealthy people he never lacked anything, without saying anything to his mother he was planning to give a place to his mother to place a clothing boutique.

Lopajo always likes to spend special moments with his mother, every day he makes him breakfast and takes him to bed, on Saturdays he always takes his mother for a walk in the park, she adores and loves her son Lopajo.

It has been several years since Lopajo entered the university to study chemical engineering, he only needs 2 months to complete his studies and achieve his dream, he also needed little to buy the place that he would give to his mother, Lopajo has always been a son and a very exemplary person, everyone who knows him is delighted with him.

Two months passed and in just one day, Lopajo would present his graduation thesis, the nerves began to attack him, his mother seeing that Lopajo was very nervous prepared him a cup of tea and told him to drink it, this will help you calm your nerves, everything will be excellent tomorrow, don't worry, you have always been an excellent student.

The next day Lopajo, is exposing his thesis in front of all the people who are present and including his mother, after finishing his presentation his professors approach him to congratulate him and give him the news that his thesis was approved, that he is already a chemical engineer, to feel proud for such a well-deserved achievement.

A classmate approaches him and his mother to invite them to their house to celebrate everyone's graduation. The classmate's parents are the ones who organized the celebration and want all of their daughter's classmates to be there, including everyone's parents.

Three months later, he gives his mother the place he wanted her to have, when his mother sees the place, she tells him "Thank you, son, you didn't have to do it". He responds by saying "Mother, you deserve that and much more, I have some news to give you, they called me from the oil company I wanted to join."

After 2 years since Lopajo started working at the oil company, he met a woman the first month he started working, he took her to his mother's house to introduce her as his girlfriend, they had barely been dating for 1 year, his mother's boutique was already very famous in the city and throughout the country, many came to buy and order a unique design of clothes.

Lopajo's mother is pleased to meet her son's girlfriend. She tells Lopajo "Son, everything I have accomplished has been because of you and I am proud to have had you and for the excellent person you have become. I love you son" and tears of happiness flowed down her cheeks for all the special moments they spent together.
