Personal Narrative: My Grandma In My Life

Improved Essays
My grandma has always been a big part of my life, from accompanying my mother on the journey of my adoption to always supporting me. I have always thought highly of my grandma, she continuously puts others before herself and is always helping out in the community some way. With just being the kind, loving person she is, she has majorly impacted my life. My grandma has been through a lot of tough times throughout her life. Before I was born she experienced the loss of a child. My uncle Chris passed away in a motor vehicle accident when he was only 19. She also lost my grandpa, when he had a heart attack in their home. I cannot even imagine how hard it would be to go through what she has gone through. She has pushed through all these difficult times to become the strong woman she is today.

Growing up with 5 other siblings, she was always helping out around the house. Her favourite thing to do was help her mother prepare dinner. This was how she found her passion of baking and cooking. Once she started working at the bowling alley, she would make huge portions of food for the restaurant part of the bowling alley. Now, whenever my mother or I are sick my grandma is always there with a giant bowl of her homemade chicken noodle soup. My grandma is constantly cooking or baking, whether the recipe was passed down or it’s an original, I enjoy them all. My grandma has always been caring, patient and dedicated. She puts these traits into her magnificent garden. She has had a green thumb for as long as I can remember. I am out in the garden with her every time whether, it be help plant a seedling, water the plants or help pick the tomatoes. We always sit outside together at her house and just admire all the beautiful plants she has outside her house. I hope to carry these traits and have a beautiful garden just like hers one

    One person has always had the power to make a difference in another’s life. Whether that be a family member teaching a little one kindness, or even on a bigger scale Martin Luther King Jr. leading a revolution to the acceptance of people with different colored skin.
