My Grandmother : My Grandmother

Many of us wouldn’t know what to do without them. Some people’s lives revolve around them.

Losing my mother, the most important person to me , was a life changing event that altered the way I see the world. Knowing that she is in a better place and at peace is everything I could've wanted for my mother. As me and my siblings grow older we miss her more every day. I have learned never to take someone for granted because we aren't promised forever with them. We have to make the most of who and what we

When there is someone special in your life, that is something you shouldn't take for granted. For example, in the book Fever 1793 by Anderson, the main character named Mattie lost a lot of her family. For example, one of the people that she lost was her grandfather. Her grandfather was that special person to Mattie. After this had happened, she had no one to turn to until she met up with her friend Eliza again. Eliza helped Mattie survive by taking her to the coffeehouse and giving her food and helping her with things she was doing. If Mattie would not have found Eliza when she did, she probably would’ve been lost the

most likely through most their marriage.. If what we value is determined by what we lost then

It seems as if you can take a lot of people in your life for granted, not really acknowledging all the things they have done for you and others. In a lot of cases, mainly for kids, it seems that your grandmother always has just been there for you, never truly realizing what they have done for everyone. Heck, without her I wouldn’t even exist. The Measure of a human being is shown by true love for others and themselves, and that

Remembering the family members not with us anymore can be just as important as them being with us actively. One

My mom has made a huge impact on my life, yet she may never know it. My mom does so much for me and my brothers that she usually doesn’t take time for herself. That impacts me a lot because it shows me what a hard-working woman looks like. She

My dad’s best friend died in a car accident. How is this relevant, you may ask? My dad had a great relationship with his friend, and that continues even after his death. I had a relationship with my great-grandmother, a very close one. She was a great woman, and my relationship with her will continue. It is the same with my grandmother. My point is that even though someone is gone, your relationship with that person will always be remembered and will never terminate.

We all have someone that we attached to at a young age. Whether it be a relative, family friend or role model. My person was my grandfather. He was one of the most kind hearted people you could ever meet; he was also one of the funniest. I can be having a terrible day and think about something he said or did and I can’t help but smile to myself. Pawpaw was my mother’s father and my grandmother’s husband. They were the “All-American” family. They lived in suburbia, Granny didn’t have to work and they lived life comfortably. My father wasn’t so fortunate in his youth. He had an extremely dysfunctional family and childhood. No one ever saw my mom and dads marriage working out but somehow they defied the odds and are still happily

Many people come and go in our life and some people impact our life for a lifetime. Someone who stands out to me as a leader was my babysitter. Her name is Johanne Fasbender. She has been my babysitter before I was even born. In fact, my parents chose her two weeks before I was born. She taught me many important life lessons and sculpted who I am today. Her husband went through a heart transplant, and this was the starting point of my interest in the medical field. When her husband passed away, I was sixteen, and I would still visit her. She was not just my childhood babysitter, she was part of my family. Johanne passed away September 13, 2011 from cancer, but she still touches my heart each day.

Most people have impacted my life, but one person particularly has impacted my life greatly. My granddad was the person that has impacted my life ever since I was born. Even though my grandpa has been dead for 10 years going on 11 he still impacts my life daily. Since we had a close relationship I always knew when he is around even though he is gone. He would have inspired me in ways that most people never didn’t. I miss him plenty, but luckily his spirit is still with us no matter what happens.

Throughout my life many people have come and gone, but only one person has left an impact on me and my beliefs on life. Anna Holland, one of my great friends, provides a stable personality of kindness and happiness to everyone around her. There is not a day that goes by without asking, “What would Anna do?” For example, when I’m stressing out on a test and having a really bad day, I remember that Anna would still act positive no matter what was happening. Also, she has given me a chance to see more in life than what it is, you can’t be a bad person because everyone has good in them no matter the circumstances. Going along with that, not only has she taught me to love others for who they are, but many friends and family. I know that when I get

Not a day goes by that I don’t visualize how miserable my life would have been if weren’t for my mother’s unselfish act of love. Marlene

I grew up in a small village in Mexico where there were no health care professionals. My grandmother was one of the women in the village who would take care of the sick. The knowledge and wisdom she gained over the years was passed on to my mother. One day, I remember my mother asking me to accompany her. It was late at night, all of the dogs would bark at us as we walked by, and I did not know where we were going. We came to the house of a sick child. It was then, I realized that my mother had been asked to come and give the child medicine. The privilege of getting to help the child get well again gave me a sense of accomplishment. What we had done there guided me to strive for something that would give me that same sense of accomplishment. In 1996, my family and I got the opportunity to move to the United States. As a little girl, I did not understand how such a sad and difficult goodbye would bring me to a better future. A place that has brought me closer, than I had ever thought, to accomplishing my dream of becoming a pharmacist. I am grateful for of all of the opportunities that living and studying in the United States has brought.

For example, my grandfather Jerry was a doctor and my Great Aunt Margaret and Pat were nurses. Anytime I was sick, my mom would always call her dad up and talk to him rather than rushing me to a doctor. When I was in the 7th grade, it was one of the hardest times of my life, Jerry was suffering from heart attacks and fluid in his lungs. I had never been exposed to the feeling of loss until he passed away. Losing one of my role models and someone that I cared deeply about made me a stronger person. Since his passing, I have seen more and more of my aunts and uncles than I had before, and growing strong relationships with all of them.
