Felipe Duran, my grandfather, the legend in the family, my heart and soul, was born January 23, 1947. Born and raised in Mexico, never had an education, but still managed to be the smartest person I ever met. He is the biggest family man, and such a hard worker, he is always willing to get his hands dirty for the family. Treated everyone with respect and had so much grace. This man has influenced me the most, in so many ways and I will always be thankful for the way he has impacted my life.

He is my protector, he is my safe place. He is the reason why I am so kind to others no matter what. I am still more kind than he is, because he can hold his ground, while I still struggle with that.. He would forever have his arms open to anyone who needed it. Especially with his family, that man loves his family, to him they are the most important. My grandparents had 16 children, they somehow managed to keep them all alive and healthy. He went through so many struggles for them, but he never mind. He and his wife Carmen brought all their children from Mexico all the way to the united states, because they knew the benefits and all the opportunities that their children would be able to have in the US. Never stopped taking care of his family, he has so much pride in what his family has accomplished. My grandparents are considered as an idol couple in my relatives. People of all age love them and respects them a lot. Their main aim of life to my grandpa is to see my family happy and
My grandfather, Cosmo Damiano Depinto was born on May 15, 1939 in the small town of Molfetta, Italy. He is the son of Nicoletta Depinto, his mother, who was one of three siblings. Her two sisters were named Lina and Giovanna. His mother had a full time job as a seamstress. His grandmother was responsible for making fishing nets. His grandfather, Orazio, had a similar profession in the fishing industry and and worked as a local fisherman. But unfortunately he passed away when a mine blew up while he was fishing in his boat after World War I (1914-1918).

Anyone that came in contact with him, could tell that was his biggest and most honorable trait. He knew when enough was enough, he knew when to leave the bar, and he also knew when his granddaughters wanted attention and affection from him. Growing up across the street from my grandpa, I was able to watch and observe him go through many stages of life. He was my biggest trainer of moderation, self-discipline, and love. He may not have always stopped when others thought he should and he may not have spent as much time with us as we thought we deserved, but he knew the right things to do for himself or other. I was so easily influenced as a child, that I was affected by the right and wrong things I would see happening. While my grandpa didn’t always do the right thing, he always showed me how it was wrong and what I could do to make it
I. He gave my brother and I a better life full of support in whatever we do.
As retired grandfather he lives for his family and for his memories back in the good ol days. He lives with my uncle, Julio and his family in San Salvador, El Salvador. Everytime I go vist him or him vistit me, he tells me stories about his past. Sometime he tells me stories about my father when he was a
There have been countless influential people in my life that I’ve come across. One who was a meticulous inspiration continues to be my grandfather. My grandmother had remarried to the one I call “grandpa” when I was at the age of five, and they both took to each other’s grandchildren as their own. With my mother and me only living a mile down the road from their farmhouse out in the country, I’d spent heaps amount of time there as a child. Indeed, I had been without a father but my grandfather stepped up to the plate and had taken me under his wing and willingly played the personification of a father figure.
What I admire most What I admire most about my great grandpa is that he was a hero to save a bunch of people but yet he is still my grandpa. I also like how he is kind and respectful to everyone he meets because he knows that you need to treat others how you want to be treated because if you don’t others will be mean to you. Another way I admire him is that he is helpful and tries to help as best as he can.
My Grandpa Jesus Sandoval was also a very important person in my life. He was also born in the year 1930. My grandpa was born and raised in Chihuahua Mexico. My grandpa in my eyes was the best grandpa anyone could ever ask for! I always remember my grandpa watch us while my mother was working. I remember him playing with us and giving my siblings and I money to go buy snacks at the small corner store down the block. Unfortunately my grandfather pasted again November 2, 1999.
I always look up to up to him ever since i was little . i look up to him because of how brave he is and he never lits anyone get in his way . He will never lit let his family be hourt . i look upto him because
Mainly because he knows that there is somebody out there who needs and he could not live with the feeling that he wasted something that someone else needed. My grandpa is also extremely hard working and will never quit a job until it is done. He has made his own house and pavilion, which is basically a small hut where my family likes to gather and have celebrations like birthdays and family reunions. Earlier this year my abuelo even helped us prepare our house to put up on the market. He tore down the somewhat melted sidings on our house from our grill that caught on fire and put up brand new ones, power washed our driveway, and even helped my dad put the railing back up on the stairs that kept falling
Dr. Hector P. Garcia was a Mexican American physician, who thought every voice should be heard. He was the most patriotic person who had the courage to stand up for what he believed in, fighting for our Civil Rights. Taking this challenge head on and the things he accomplished were unbelievable. He came in at the right time and had such a huge impact on Hispanic lives, with great outcomes for families such as health care. By helping change our society, he
He is very intelligent; he even took time to go back to college when he already had a career under his belt. Which brings him to being a hard worker, my dad is one of the hardest working people anyone will ever meet, if anything that man works too much. He is also very respectful to people, especially those in potion over him. My dad is also one of the bravest people on earth; he has had two very dangerous jobs. The first would be being a United States Marine. The second job would be his current job, which is being a Maricopa Deputy Sheriff. My dad is my hero because he has worked hard to maintain all of these qualities, and he practices them each and every
He is one person who has influenced my life in a positive manner. He has helped me to understand many people and things, that before I met him, I would have given up on. I am amazed at his capabilities of understanding about anything from a math problem to the
I think the person who has had the most profound effect on my life besides my parents is my grandfather. I never realized before how much of an effect he had on my interests and goals for the future. Years ago, he used to tell me stories about historical events and experiences he had fighting in Vietnam and my great grandfather fighting in World War 2. His vivid descriptions always made it so interesting and, in some cases, more light-hearted than what actually happened. To this day he still has more stories to tell me, and never fails to captivate my interest. In doing this, he opened my eyes to my biggest interest, history, and encouraged me to pursue this interest throughout school. I feel like it would help to give a short summary of his life and how it affected me.
Of course you always hear people talking about how great their grandmother or grandfather are, I too feel the same way about my grandmother. I see her as more than my grandmother, she’s a role mole, my best friend and also like a sister when I need her. She’s always been a loving and caring person. Not for only her friends and family, but also strangers. People she has never met a day in her life she would be willing to go give her last too. You don’t find to many people like her too often.
