A Grandfather Just Like You

I just want to let you know
You mean the world to me
Only a heart as dear as yours
Would give so unselfishly

The many things you’ve done
All the times that you were there
Help me know deep down inside
How much you really care

Even though I might not say
I appreciate all you do
Richly blessed is how I feel
Having a Grandfather just like you

    Narrative Essay About My Family

    I interviewed my seventy-five year old grandpa Donnie, researched the Voyles lineage book that my grandma Arlene helped compile, and talked with my dad in order to find out more about my family’s history. According to Grandpa Donnie, it all began in 1759 when Jacob Voils, his wife, and his four sons landed in Port Charleston from Wales. Jacob was a poor man and could not afford the family’s way to Charleston. Desperate, he made a deal with the ship’s captain to indenture his oldest son William Voils as a crew hand for four years in exchange for the family’s way. Upon regaining his freedom, William furiously changed the spelling of his last name to Voyles to break all ties from his father Jacob.…

    College Admissions Essay: First-Generation College Students

    I am a first-generation college student in my family and I want to show my parents and the rest of my family that I can go to college. So I have used a few different programs and some were outside of high school. Over the summer of my junior and senior year, I did a SAT Prep Program called SWAG (Students With Academic Goals) and this helped bring my SAT score up and I learned more about college like the application process, tuition, housing, etc. I also did a different SAT program with Cal-Soap in the summer of my junior year which helped a lot as well. I believe my grades in high school reflect my academic ability because I work hard for those grades.…

    College Admissions Essay: My Father's Life

    In not wanting to have my father’s life, my goal is to attain an education level and professional career that will be higher than that which my father reached. Which will leave a higher mark for my daughter to surpass, and I am working hard to be able to achieve this. My father’s struggles fuel my drive, as I know wanted me to do better in academics, career, and life in general. Never having seen my father as an ambitious man, although I know he did have aspirations, I would not say he was self-starter. He attempted university studies in El Salvador, but was not successful and instead immigrated to the United States in the late 70’s.…

    For that, I am immensely sorry. All my grandfather ever wanted was for us grandchildren to call him and just talk to him. My Abuelo lived in Warren, Michigan and that is around an hour away from where I live. He was very frail and not very well at driving so he couldn’t come see us often. My whole life my Abuelo kind favored my little brother and called him “Pancho”, and my sister was unbelievably close to him, but I, not so much.…
