My Grandma Essay

Splat! The pie made as it hit the ground. My Grandma had made a blueberry pie that was the best around. It really was because she had put it in the best pie competition at the county fair. The pie had won first place and Grandma won one hundred dollars. No one knows how she makes her pies so deluxe, but Grandma is going to tell someone in my family the secret ingredient because she’s on her last legs. One thing I wished she had done was open a pie bakery, but she told me she was not in it for…

My grandpa, grandma and I made it to the cabin and ran out of the car, I got to the door a while before them. My grandma finally arrived at the door and unlocked it,I was so excited that, at first I didn't know what to do. Then I ran inside and glanced around, in 30 seconds I had surveyed the entire cabin, it turned out to be a little cabin, although still pretty cool. Large enough for the necessities and for a little leg room, very nicely sized. I went outside and took it all in, weeds, weeds,…

December 2011, I hop off the bus and realize that my dad is not home. That was the first sign that something was wrong. I had a feeling in my stomach that I had never experienced before, and that was dread. Before I can ask what’s going on, I’m told to quickly pack a bag, and that we would be staying somewhere else for the night. It isn’t until we are on the road that we are told my grandma has had a life threatening stroke. What followed after that is hazy. I was terrified and confused. I did…

it was my grandma. I do not think I was or have even been told what type of cancer she had. Back then I did not care, all I know it had been stage four and they had limited choices. My freshman year my grandma started undergoing a lot of chemo and radiation treatments when the surgery had failed that previous spring. I can only guess what she was thinking when they told her the news. I know I just wanted her to be better; I wanted my spirited grandma back, the one who taught me and my…

AAAAAMMMMMMMMYYYYYY!” This is what I am waking up to again. I hear my mother hurrying down the hall into my great grandmother’s bedroom. I sigh and close my eyes, hopeful for a few more minutes of much needed teenage sleep. “Amy!” she hollers again, even louder, already forgetting my mother is in the bedroom with her. My mother’s name is Rita. No one in my family is named Amy, but that doesn’t stop my grandma from calling everyone Amy. Grandma has been living with us since I was 12…

Everyone in my family called my great grandma, grandma Edith no matters their relation to her, She was the kind of grandma that invited everyone to thanksgiving where she cooked too much so you could eat too much.

Grandma Edith had a bad habit of adding numbers to the price tags on her antiques to make them…

To me my Michigan hero isn't just any average person here in Michigan but to everyone around them they were. This person was always kind to everyone she met and she was always there for me and for all her friends. She did lots for Ludington like help with the Fourth of July parade, the boat show, and she made sure everything worked and was good down at sportsman, Barley and Rye, and the Mitten Bar. But I don't know what I would do if my grandma was never alive. I have many times that I love…

My undocumented immigrant narrative I would like to tell you the story of when my grandma became a US citizen. My grandma went from chihuahua to the United States for the first time when she was 13.
