His grandfather is in bed writing his autobiography, the story of his life, which he calls "Así es lavida" (Spanish "that's the way life is"). Arturo dislikes this expression, for he believes in going after what he wants in life, not accepting what life throws at him. He looks at his watch and is embarrassed when his grandfather notices. Then, grandfather begins reading the autobiography, telling how he hoped to become a writer and teacher but had to settle with being a farmer back in Puerto Rico. Arturo wants to talk more with his grandfather, but an old lady comes to remind grandfather that he has promised to give a poetry reading in the recreation room.

His grandpa tells him that he was a teacher in puerto Rico. Arturo is looking at his watch because he was only going to stay there 1 hour. His grandpa continues by telling him that they made him go to war but he asked if he could be a teacher there. They said he was too smart for himself and gave him a job cleaning toilets. When his time was up in the war, he returned and wanted to be a teacher but he needed a college degree. He worked as a farmer because he needed to care for his family. He got married and had kids. He was done reading. Arturo said," I'm not going to let anything get in my way of reaching my goal."
