My Grandpam My Personal Beliefs Of My Grandmother

And Grandmam,as I have seen in looking back, was the decider of my fate. She shaped my life, without of course knowing what my life would be. She taught me many things that I was going to need to know, without either of us knowing I would need to know them. She made the connections that made my life, as you will see. If it hadn’t been for her what would my life have been? (11)

When asked about an impactful person in my life, my mother always comes to mind. It’s not at all surprising to hear that the person who raised me helped determine my life, but sometimes it’s rather

My aunt whom just so happened to be one of my role models passed away. I was devastated. Not only was I confused, but I was lost as well. A woman I looked up to was gone forever. I missed a few days of school and starting falling behind on work. It took me awhile to process my aunt's’ death. I finally realized that I have to move on. I knew that she would not approve of me being sad. I started remembering all of the positive memories my aunt left behind. I gained a tremendous amount of knowledge from her. Until this day, I carry what she taught me everywhere I go. I strive harder to make her

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

The traits that she exhibits such as kindness, success, and strength all represent why she is symbolic of everything that I want in life. The first quality that my grandmother symbolizes that I hope

My grandmother is a God-fearing woman who will give to the homeless without having a home herself without any reasoning or motive but because that is who she is. She is a woman who walks by faith and not by sight, never discouraged by the trials put before her while constantly being an encouragement and blessing into other people’s lives. My grandmother is a gentle soul filled with poise and wisdom and has relinquished some of these qualities unto me in ways that I discover each and every day. My mother is a strong-willed woman who desires not only to be heard but also acknowledged. She has been my supporter in everything that I do continually pushing me to what I thought were my limits only to realize that I had been pushed way beyond that point. She has taught me to be proud of who I am and what I’ve done and most importantly to follow the beat of my own drum or as she would say “Don’t be no flunky “! Because of her I am an opposing component of a flunky, I am dynamic. Yes, I am a mixture of these women. While I am bold and confident in everything that I do, I am also heedful in the way I treat others. I thrive for greatness but was never ignorant with my platform in encouraging others to do the same. while I have become fond of being different, I have never aimed to disconnect from the

There have been a vast number of lives that have touched mine. Many different people have shared a piece of their soul in my formation. However, it is my mother who is the most important and most influential person in my life. My mother raised me by herself since the day I was born. My father was abusive and she left to make a better life for the both of us. She has worked as many as four jobs at one time. My mother wants to make sure my brothers and I have a better life than she did. It hasn’t always been easy for her, taking care of us on her own, trying to pay bills and making sure we had everything we needed. My mom has always had us involved in sports at a very young age. We always were doing something or involved in something

My grandmother, a single parent, has provided for me, my brother and two sisters over the past years; now it is my turn to take care of her. She taught me that education is extremely valuable. Questioning that belief, I joined the Army at seventeen, which taught me to defend others which led to my pursuit of criminal justice. Learning something new each day is the greatest gift of knowledge. My grandmother said the main thing a person needs to succeed is drive and passion. Her accomplishments showed me the importance of being independent and doing what you love, which impacted my life. She is what you could call “the rock” of our family she keeps

I lived with my grandmother for the first half of my life. She practically raised me. Everyone in our village would talk about how much she spoiled me. She would go out of her way to get what I needed. One day I was playing with my friends, there was food in the house but I just wanted to eat snacks. I complained and whined about it until I got what I wanted she made my uncle go all the way into the city to buy me some snacks even though I could’ve just eaten what was in the house. She was a part of me. We had so much in common. My mom wasn't unable to raise me because she was living in America.

But very much so to my Grandmother as well. As I prepare to start the next chapter of my life, College, I am so thankful for my Grandmother for being a good example and motivation for me. Like her, I am not satisfied with “just enough” but instead to always strive to be the best that I can be. Like her, I work hard to be honest and fair. I volunteer for organizations like OCA Asian Pacific American Advocates and the Cleveland Asian Festival to help others and promote my heritage. Like my Grandmother, I have a deep commitment to family. In the years to come, I will work hard to excel. To be an example. To be a role model to others. Thank you Grandmother! My

On the other hand, I had the privilege of being taught about right and wrong by my parents enabling me to accept ideas and rules only after proper reasoning. I always had a voice in my household where I could question the right and the wrong. My grandparents subsisted in India before independence, under the imperialist British rule. They lived a difficult life without freedom. I assimilated this information through the stories they told me about their childhood. They also taught me the language of the law and inspired me to appreciate it. That is the reason why they always wanted me to reap all the benefits of free will and use it righteously. On their part, my grandparents also pampered me with unconditional love and showered me with gifts. My parents introduced me to religion, culture, the significance of education and inculcated the values of respecting elders. For example, there is a custom that is followed in every Indian household- whenever a you meet elders for the first time you had to bend and touch their feet. This is a show of respect and humility. In return you are blessed with good health, happiness and prosperity. Whereas some of my friends touched elders’ feet only because it was required of them, my parents explained the concept and customs in detail before they required me to follow it. My parents also balanced my grandparents’ pampering by

Often times when I was younger my mother would drop me off at my Grandmother’s house over the summer to help her around the house while she went to work. My Grandmother owned one computer ,two large T.V sets and one very large yard full of weeds. One day my Grandmother dragged me out to help her de-weed the ground surrounding a potential flowerbed, and being the six year old I was announced my disdain for outdoor work and my preference of watching Scoobydoo and Spongebob. Ten minutes into the de-weeding process my Grandmother starts up anecdotes of her childhood and how her mother made her work outside and in the end it ultimately helped her build character, and by working outside I was building character. And when I look back on it now I

There are many people that have the strongest impact in your lives. They are your role model and you want to be like them. These can be your family members, friends, or people that you just see on T.V. Whoever they might be they impacted your life because of want you learned from them. One person that had the strongest impact that made me who I am today is my mom. My mom had impacted my life and made me who I am today because she taught how to treat other how I want to be treated, don't judge other people because of their looks, and if you don't try you won't succeed. These are only the few lesson that I learned from my mom as a kid.

She raised her daughter to be respectful. “You never know where you might end up and who will get you there,” Gran said. Instilling this discipline in my mother, she intern instilled it in me and my other siblings. Therefore, because of my Gran Ma, I am where I am today.

My grandmother, Esther Turner, has impacted my life in more ways than just simply being there for me, as a grandmother. She’s much more than that, in my eyes. Being the eldest of three, I’ve always taken on more responsibility as the older sister. It was my job to show my little brother and sister which paths were safe to take in this wild, confusing maze called life. At times, I felt like a mother myself, and at a young age, I found myself slightly intimidated by all the responsibilities that were laid on my shoulders. The main person I could talk to freely and openly, without judgment, was my grandmother. We have always been able to speak to each other about any and everything, nothing was off limits. That’s what I think brought us so close, the fact that she accepted me entirely for the person I presented to her.
