Perspectives Magazine: Moving Tribute To Grandmother

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

Everyone goes through rough patches in their life. Some of these patches are easy to accomplish and easy to get over. Our medicine has gotten better over time, but years ago the survival rate wasn’t that good. My grandma whose name is Linda is a breast cancer survivor and also survived with Non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma. Not everyone in this world can say she has have survived cancer this many times, especially with such low survival rates. My Grandma still puts a smile on everyone faces even when she’s in pain. She makes all of her children and grandchildren beautiful quilts, so we can have something to remember her by, if something were to happen. She loves to bake. There isn’t one occasion that there won’t be some type of desert made by her. She has so many beautiful talents.

I am here today to speak about an experience of losing one of my grandparents that meant everything to me. Thesis statement: Olivia Stanford was a robust, brave, and caring woman. Preview of Main Points 1.

Norway is in the western part of the Scandinavian Peninsula. Norway is the farthest north of any other European country. Norway is a constitutional monarchy. . The Norsemen, also known as Vikings, ravaged the coasts of northwest Europe from the 8th to the 11th century and were ruled by local chieftains. The first king of Norway was Olaf II Haraldsson.

There are other factors in which might be argued to be larger than culture, like experiences. In the story Two Kinds by Amy Tan, you might argue the mother comes to America because of her experiences and past life in China. Yes she has lost everything in China, but that is not why she chose to come to America. She didn't view America has great due to experience; she came to America because your culture led her to believe that anything is possible in America. The story supports the claim that her culture influenced the way she views America by saying, "My mother believed you can be anything you wanted to be in America. You could open a restaurant. You could work for the government and get good retirement. You could buy a house with almost no money down. You could become rich. You could become instantly famous," (Tan 18). She formed those opinions on the USA from her own culture in China, not through experience. The mother got the chance to move from experiences, but that's not why she chose to move to America. The mother viewed America has brilliant, as a place where anything is possible because of the culture she was raised in; that is why she chose to move to

The US and Norway is similar in many ways as well as they are different in many ways. In this blogpost am I going to write about some of what I find the biggest differences between America an Norway.

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.

She taught us how to pray. My grandmother had 13 children and my mother is her second to last child with a different father from her other children. My mother’s father (grandfather) had seven children. With this large family, I have lots of aunts, uncles, grand aunts, grand uncles, and countless numbers of cousins from different generations. Some of us are very close and know each other while some of us are distant and doesn’t communicate. We used to go to the country in the summer and on Easter break to spend time with my family on my mom’s father side of the family. My childhood experiences have taught me a lot about family. The experience of living in the same yard has taught me to stick with my family no matter what. Even though food and clothes were scarce, my family would share with each other and if one person has food, then we all would eat. We learned to utilize and appreciate the little we did have. Things weren’t as civilized in my neighborhood, but I learned to appreciate the smallest things and be grateful for what we did have.

I am writing you a letter because I am doing an assignment in class and wanted to write to you to tell you how thankful I am for you to be in my life and prepare me for the next stage in my life. You helped me throughout my whole entire life. You help me grow and become into a decent young man. I fear a few things in life for the next chapter in life. For example what about the next chapter of my life youŕe not here, what would I do then? But whatever happens, happen and I'm very thankful for you. I do think I'm ready for the real world and the next chapter in my life, all my life I've been help to prepare for the next chapter in life.

My grandma was a mother of three. She had my Aunt heather, Aunt Angie, and my mother. She raised my mother and Heather while going to college, which is a fight on its own, but to make it more difficult, she had hodgkins and had spent over an entire year fighting it in Iowa’s childrens hospital and held victory her senior year.. The chances of surviving hodgkins in the 60’s was around 75% and wasn’t the end for my Grandma, she lived to fight another day. Moving on in her life,She spent most of her time studying, she graduated high school on the top of her class, then going to college of hamilton for business. During that time, she had my mom and my Aunt Heather on the way.

I believe there are many factors that define culture, such as language, food, traditions from past generations, religion, and values. All of these factors have the power to influence the individuals within.
