Grandparent

face as the ice skating routine came to a close. For a moment, silence, followed by loud cheers, praise and applause galore. The lights turned on, beaming periodically directly into my eyes. Squinting, looking for familiar faces, I came across my grandparents. The look of joy on their faces was incredibly comforting, yet I came to the harsh realization that my parents were not with them. Growing up, my parents worked multiple jobs to support our family. We lived in a house without walls in…

Growing up Is a tough process, some of us are brought up without Fathers, Mothers, Grandparents, and there are others who have every family member but they don 't know how to play their roles. I was very fortunate to have my Grandparents, and when I was younger they made it a point to me that education is important.

He is so kind and caring to everyone. He always checks on other people and has someone on his mind at all times. He has known my family all the way back to my grandparents. My grandparents and him built a church and started it up over forty years ago. They have been in church together ever since. He’s quite a bit older than my grandparents. He claims me and my little sister as great grandchildren. He is one of the best people I know, one of the best preachers I know. He is just a great person. I…

remember what our forefathers had to do to get us to this point. When I wake up on the Fourth of July, I usually grab the dessert that my mom and I cooked the day before and get into the family vehicle. We then head to Jones Chapel, Alabama. My grandparents…

fiddling around with the wound while we were all eating because there was a weird looking infection on the top of the wound. My parents hurried Tori to the vet, leaving Stevie and I with my grandparents at our house. My parents called my grandma to come the vet about a half hour after they had left. When my grandparents, Stevie and I arrived, I was severely worried for Tori. Tori had an infection. They told us that they could remove up to the shoulder of his arm or we would have to put him down.…

Once a week, I have family dinner at my grandparents’ house. I have been attending these dinners every week for the past seven years and still going, never wanting to miss one. These dinners are nothing extravagant but a delicious home cooked traditional Chinese meal and a bonding time for the family. Even though we see each other every week, there is something new to talk about and something to laugh until everyone is in tears. People think there is nothing special about this dinner, but the…

psychodynamic theory brought influence to our task group too. I noticed that Penny brought some great literature to the table about education. This will help the grandparents learn the way education is taught today to the new generation of children. Kaitlyn found some great information on how mental health. This information explains how it affects a grandparent and grandchild. The psychodynamic theory helped us as a task group gain more skills in research and helped us on a more interpersonal…

Goes without saying my grandparents were in complete awe that I would be moving to America by myself. They went above and beyond to make this impossible for me. Some of our relatives came over to our house with numerous news article cut outs and statistics about how unsafe America…

Heifetz offers three categories in which a person’s loyalties lay, colleagues, community, and ancestors. I have always experienced conflict when it comes to my loyalties to colleagues, community, as well as ancestors. My profession is ministry in a for-profit hospice in addition to the church which overflows into all parts of my life. I am perhaps more devoted to hospice due to the hurt that I have experienced in the church. Hospice affords me the opportunity to do more in ministry then the…
