When you think of a hero who is the first person that pops into your head? Anyone can be your hero, my hero is tall, strong , and has eyes as soft as the sky, his hair is light and fluffy like clouds. My hero is my grandpa, known to many as Robert Winnie, but I call him papa. Robert Winnie grew up in a big family. He had two parents, one sister, and three brothers. As an adult, he worked at Eaton Proving Grounds for many years, where he would test drive cars, he also worked a second job at a furniture store to better support his family. Robert Winnie is married to Jean Winnie, and they have three kids. Robert Winnie has taught through his actions to be patient, supportive of others, and be selfless. That is only a few of the many reasons …show more content…
My grandpa always comes to my sporting events to cheer me on. When he comes, he brings along his camera, taking a million pictures a second, capturing every moment. When I got sick when I was younger papa would always take me to his house, and make sure I was ok. He would wrap me in a mountain of blankets, bring me chicken noodle soup, and turn on Looney Tunes.He would never freak out about me getting him sick like a lot of people did which would make me feel better. Sometimes when my parents are really busy, my grandpa will almost always be there to get me from place to place, never complaining about how it was inconvenient for him or how he had somewhere better to be. Along with being supportive, my grandpa is one of the most selfless people I know. Whenever my family needs help with anything he is the first person we call because we know that if anyone can do it, or is willing to do it, it’s him. My dad owns a landscaping and plowing business, so he is always wearing down his trucks, causing them to break down a lot. Papa is always up to the challenge of fixing them, even though he never has to. One thing that is really important to him is family, he has always, always put family first. My grandpa may not have a cape, or have super powers, but he has a heart of gold, and for me that's all a hero has to have. If I'm lucky I’ll be half the person he is. Robert Winnie has taught me through his actions to be patient, supportive of others, and
Before my grandfather had to stay in the hospital, my father took him to his chemotherapy or radiation appointments during the week. My uncle built a ramp to the door so that it would be easier to move my grandfather, who was in a wheel chair, in and out of the house. My mother took care of any paperwork that needed to be done as well as any medical-related tasks. When my grandfather received hospice care in the last month of his life, my mother and grandmother helped bathe and change him as well as cook special meals for
Anyone who influences anyone else by saving or helping save his or her lives can be a hero. Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. changed the lives of millions of people by bringing justice to minorities. Mahatma Gandhi, one of the greatest heroes, led a nonviolent revolution to free his country. Even a parent can be a hero to his or her child by leading them in the right direction. All teachers are heroes when they make it their job to teach a child anything that will help them in life. You don’t have to go to great lengths by risking your life to make a difference in someone else’s life.
I talk to him all the time on the phone. My grandfather introduced me to golf when I was very young. Golf is my biggest passion and we share that bond. He is the person I call whenever I need advice. My grandfather worked two jobs in order to provide for his family. That strong work ethic and determination are things I take away from him. He has had many different experiences in life. My grandfather is very open about the mistakes he has made. He loves sharing his experiences so that I am better prepared for things I will face in
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.
Sometimes I wonder what is a hero, is it a person who can fly and do amazing tricks, or is it a modern day soldier who puts his or her life on the line to protect what they love, or could it be a hard working parent or grandparent that is always willing to do anything thing for the people that they care for. And I always come to the conclusion that a hero can be anything because it is the beholders opinion. My abuelo or grandpa was born in Mexico and moved to the United States of America when he was only twelve. His real name is Zenon Cardenas and his early life was not easy, he moved from place to place with his parents on their tremendously low income and sometimes they barely had enough money to get food. Later, he was old enough to get a job in which he chose to be a construction worker, and that is where he learned how to make buildings. After awhile, he eventually settled down in Ionia, Michigan and built the house where him and my abuela or grandma currently lives now. That is the spot that he had my mom and her six siblings.
One person’s hero might seem just like another ordinary person to another. My father might not be world famous but to me he’s just as much much a hero to me then any one of those people. Everyday he works; to make sure that I have an opportunity to succeed in life, have a happy life, and be able to grow as a person.
The person i consider to be the most inspiring and heroic is my dad Dr.Maurice Landers.Ther reason i consider him a hero is because he has made a big impact on mine and and others lives.He grew up in a small town of Mississippi called Port Gibson, there wasn't much there and he grew up in still accomplish his dreams.He exceeded his dreams, he went through college and almost failed the class that his job is mainly based but turned it all around on what he kept going and now we live in a beautiful house because he kept going.This is just one reason why he is a hero.
My grandpa is the best grandpa ever , he teaches me stuff and always cheers me up when I'm sad . He always helps me when I don't know what I'm doing and no matter what we are doing doesn't matter if it's working or not we always have fun together and I know I don't see him a lot but when I do I cherish the moments I have with him . That is why my grandpa is my Michigan hero
Heroes are not always people who lead marches or do things for their country. For example policemen, firefighters, nurses, lifeguards etc. are heroes everyday because they take the time to save lives. When they’re going through a challenge or trying to overcome a conflict they always have courage. These people risk their own life to save someone else’s. To be more specific Dr. Ginger Holt from Dallas had saved a little boy’s leg. She was confident and determined to finding out what went wrong in the boy’s leg and went through many procedures looking at the tests.
Grandpa is almost ninety-five and now resides in a nursing home. The leg he fractured forty years ago is too weak to carry his weight. His eyes are going bad. But to me he's still the big, strong man who used to take his grandchild in his arms and rock to
Next, my Grandpa supports me in everything I do . Since I'm in Cheer , he goes to every game and cheers me on . All the cheer coaches call him the dabbing grandpa ( the dance move ) . He listens to make sure I'm happy with what I'm doing . If there's something that's making me sad he understands
“Heroes became heroes flaws and all.”- Peter Mcwilliams. My hero is a wonderful woman who helps people, just because she wants to. My hero is my grandma Louise Zobell, my grandma goes to the Dominican Republic once or twice every year just to help the people there. She hosts fundraisers and gives every single penny to them and doesn’t make anything for herself. My grandma also loves and cares for everyone she comes across, and raises money to build houses and schools for them. She buys clothes, blankets, shoes and more, for the people. My Grandma even created a foundation called the Dominican starfish foundation, just to help people. I’m very lucky to be related to such a wonderful, amazing woman. My hero is my Grandma, and that's the reason
For many people, Grandpa is a storyteller, someone to go fishing with, and someone who has your back no matter what. The experience I had with my grandpa was a little different. I never got the opportunity to meet my great-grandfather Liston Grider, but he still somehow managed to have a huge impact on my life. Sometimes my mom would tell stories about him; happy memories from her childhood, sad ones that were painful for her to tell, and everything in between. I thought I had heard it all, but this past summer I learned something about my great grandpa that would perhaps impact my life forever. This story was not told by my mom like usual, but by someone who was a complete stranger to me. The lessons I learned would not be taught in a single day, but over the span of a month through a series of Facebook messages and letters in the mail. The words I read upon opening those messages and letters would change my life forever, permanently transform my beliefs, and show me what it truly means to be an American.
My grandparents are gregarious people, who always look at the positive in everything and are always smiling. They greet people with a smile and ask them how their day is going. Having people join us at their home for holiday events is a regular occurrence. Whether you are related to us or not, they are eager to have others join us. No matter what the situation, good or bad, they are constantly smiling. My grandpa was recently diagnosed with dementia, a brain disease relating to memory loss. Although he is forgetful and confused once in awhile, he still finds a way to crack a joke and get you to smile. When something goes wrong my grandparents will tell me to look at the positive side and help me to realize that there are more life events that go right than go wrong. When things go wrong they want to
