My grandmother's name is Maria Fazio. She’s very thin and short. You can tell she had worked hard her whole life. She grew up being one of five siblings and lived with her two parents. Today she is 72 and lives in berkeley but 63 years ago she was just a little girl living on a ranch in Mexico. She used to be a little girl who restocked the shelves in her parents store. Today she is strong and powerful. She puts everything into what she is doing and never gives up. I have never known her to quit, to give up, or to do things the easy way. I remember one time when I was really little she worked three jobs just to help me and my mom out. On top of her three jobs she used to take care of me while my mom was at work. She used to make my mother and I lunch and dinner every day. It was like she never ran out of energy or never wanted to give up.
