Speech About My Grandmother

Family always come first to me, no matter what. Ever since I was little I remember going over to my grandmother's house every holiday with my parents. For me, it was a very special time because I didn't get to see my grandmother as often as I would have liked. When the holidays were coming up, I remember how excited I would get to go see her. There comes a time in your life when you start to run out of energies and are not as strong as you used to be. When we are young we look at our older loved

My grandma's name is Carol Jean Wolfe but then she married my grandfather so her last name is " Hall." She is a very unique woman and I would like to present and talk about her because I believe she disserves an reward of being who she is and what she has become to be. I love her very much and I thought this interview would be a help for extra credit to myself and to let me learn more about my grandmother and her past. In fact, Carol is sixty-four and all thirteen years, living with my mom and

definitely lucky to still have my grandmother around, however, she is not quite there. My baba (grandmother in Serbian) was the most independent and loving human being I have ever come across. She was constantly putting her children, grandchildren, and people she did not even know first. Baba was “the rock” of our family, keeping us all together, until she was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s Disease. I will never forget the day I found her house a wreck. The situation really hit my family hard because the fun

you. While I was in the second grade, I lost the battle that had been roaring on the inside after my great-grandmother passed away on February 11, 2005. I treated her as if she was the queen of the world ;she meant everything to me and I have always looked up to her because of the women she was and how much she had accomplished in her life. My great-grandmother was the cell phone to my bomb; she was my connection to the world. With me yearning for knowledge like a hungry baby, she fed me all the knowledge

twin speech, a private language that only her and her sister could understand. Her mother also had many strokes through the years which caused her to have Aphasia. When Nell was found by Dr. Jerome "Jerry" Lovell, the town doctor, she screamed and was frightened because she never before had interaction with people outside of her immediate family. Dr. Jerry tried to speak to her but could not understand because she imitated the only languages that she had been introduced to: her twin speech and

she should do.” This quote comes from my grandmother, who tries her best to teach me about an individual’s personal identity. An individual’s identity represents who he or she truly is; it is something that allows a specific person to stand out from the crowd. During an individual’s life, he or she will come across many obstacles that will shape her or his being and will further shape her or him into someone with particular traits, or an identity. During my life, I grew up with six older siblings

Winter in the Blood portrays the grandmother as grouchy and simple while the movie Winter in the Blood depicts her as the stereotypical wise, gentle, and nurturing Indian grandmother. The movie’s depiction of the grandmother is done to convey a better relationship between her and the narrator which makes viewers feel more connected and sympathetic for

disease. My desire to solve the global problem of Alzheimer’s disease hits close to home. When I was 12 years old my Grandmother was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. I believe with modern medicine it is possible to find something that will slow down the progression of the disease or even find a cure.         Growing up, my Grandmother and I were unquestionably close. One of my fondest memories with her was building puzzles and baking together. Fast forward to a few years later when I was 10 my Grandmother

My grandmother smoked for a long period of her life and the outcome of that addiction ended with lung cancer. All of her grandchildren called her Gram. At the age of 42, her husband passed away and she turned all of her love and attention to all of her seven grandchildren. My gram was a very independent woman that loved her grandchildren with everything that she could give. My grandmother never

When I was a little girl, my hopes and dreams for life were to marry a very rich man and live in a house that had a gardener. I would be lying in the grass outside on a hot summer day imagining the life I would once live. A large house with as many dogs as you can imagine, a maid to do all of the dishes and laundry, a drawer for every object in the house, and not a day to ever worry about money. Quickly third and fourth grade approached, the plans for my life had changed to being a dancer
