My Grandfather: My Role Model

Having a hero that is a family member and a role model is the best thing to have. My grandpa Kevin Shea fits that statement. My grandpa is my ultimate hero and wishes from the God above. When I was a little girl, I wanted to be just like my Grandpa. Everything he did drew me closer. I’m blessed and amazed to have him as my hero because he saved my life and he saves others too. He is also my role model and mentor. I call my grandfather a hero because he gave me my life. The day I was born I was healthy.

He 's a firefighter, an EMT, and a mechanic. My grandpa is always helping and getting involved in the community. When my grandpa was at an EMT conference he brought me some books about health and wellness. I was very fascinated with them. I sat down and talk to him about them.

However, they have to be a leader, kind, patient, a teacher and have to support you even if you fail. My grandfather has all of those factors that play into a role models life. He makes a great role model in my life. Even the people at his work or at the fire department said he is a good role model. They give examples like he always there, he works hard, he goes beyond expectations, and, in general, my grandfather is a good man raised right from the young ages. He hopes to be a part of everyone’s life rather it is helping, teaching, fixing things, or just spreading the word of God. He loves to be in my life even when I don 't want him in my life. There are some days and challenges that I don 't want him to see me suffer through it, but he will stick by my side and give me words of advice. My grandfather taught me that giving up is a sign of weakness, but if you fight you are a stronger woman. He tells me this every day I struggle. I look up to him for everything from skills that I can use in the work field to the skills of life. He also taught me what to look in man or a good friend. I hope I can take what he taught me today and I will continue to learn and apply it to my children and everyone around
