My Amazing Grandma Most people could say that the perfect grandmother does not exist. I actually disagree. What I know for a fact is that my grandmother is perfect. My grandmother is perfect in every way; the way she dresses, the way she moves, the way she behaves, the way she speaks, etcetera. Sometimes, I just think that it could be great, if I could be a little bit of what she is. Her great personality is full of other amazing qualities. I’m going to start by describing the way my grandma looks like. At first sight, if one doesn’t know her like I do, they would say she always wears oldies clothes, bright colored clothes, but if one does know her as I do, they could notice that she dresses all kind of clothes; sportive, cheap, informal,…
naiveté, and resplendence of my youth. In my memories, colours are vibrant, sounds are sharp, and smells are unmistakable. In particular, I recall the striking green hue of the grass and leaves on my grandparents’ farm, and the smell of dirt and flowers entwined in the sweet summer air. My childhood memories of the farm focus on the joys of crafts and gardening, but most of all, the warmth of family. I reminisce about days replete with the warmth of my grandma’s love, and the impression she had…

A.R.P. SD Grandparent of the Year My grandma Teresa Sherwood should be the 2018 A.A.R.P grandparent of the year. She helps me read my books with her all the time, she lets me bake with her, and she is caring. She helps me read my books. Then my grandma will help me read my books whenever. When she helps me I read a page she reads a page. Sometimes she will read four pages. If I have two books she lets me which one to read first. Most of the time we will sit on the couch and she will…
man thinketh so is he”, a verse from the bible noted by my Grandmother in the interview. Providing the listener with some of my Grandma’s strength as a person and view on her life. Being able to overcome alcoholism is one thing, but becoming a counselor for chemical dependency is another. My Grandma is a very strong lady and has been a great role model for many to look up to, even me ever since I was a little kid. Simply looking at my Grandma’s history: being sober for 51 years, beating many…
Personally, I vaguely remember what I was doing during the time of the event, since I was only about 5 years old, but I do recall that I was at my friend’s house during the attacks. For this assignment, I chose to interview my grandma before our Thanksgiving dinner, because she has an interesting past when it comes to a certain “significant national movement.” In terms of 9/11, my grandma recalled that she was shopping when it happened. She was at Tuesday Morning walking around the store when…
When I think of Grandma, now that she is gone, the words that come to mind are, “Oh, what a great!” I know it sounds odd because we normally think of famous athletes as “The Greats”. Grandpa was one of “The Greats” at OSU in football, but to me, Grandma should be considered one of “The Greats” according to how people live their lives. She lived her life to the fullest, while all along teaching us so much. If I think of the different times in my life and how grandma impacted them, they all had…
When I signed up to read “My Grandma the Poisoner” I did so because the title jumped out at me more than my other options. When I went into reading it I wasn’t quite sure if the title was going to be an accurate representation of what I was about to read, or if it was a more abstract, attention-seeking move. I was slightly shocked when I found that the title was a direct, even blunt, representation of the story that I was beginning to read. This title is an interesting move on the part of the…
I remember like yesterday, I had just got home from school. My mom and aunties were all standing around the kitchen waiting on the doctor to call and give the results of the test that they had ran on my grandma. Maybe ten minutes after I got in the house the doctor had called. He we found lumps and your mother have been diagnosed with cervical cancer. All I could do was break down and cry because I didn't know what I was going to do without my grandma. Everybody was really sad because they also…
It was the Christmas of 2007. My father was driving my sister and I to my grandparent’s house in Rice Lake. It was a bright, blue, sunny day, and the ground and trees were covered in white, as there was just a fresh snowfall. I always loved going to my grandparent’s house. My grandma was my role model, the one person I always looked forward to going to see. My grandma had been battling uterine cancer since 2006. She had surgery to remove the cancer in 2006, but in 2007 the doctors found the…
