Grandparent

to my mom and see her sobbing and keep repeating, “I can’t believe this is happening to us.” It felt like we were under the tables for an eternity. After a few minutes I looked over by the steps into another level of the dining room to find my grandparents friends crouched down who just happened to be at the restaurant as well. The woman and I made eye contact and she scooted over. She assured me we were ok but someone was shot dead in the bar. Suddenly another command was shouted at us, “Everyone

before I finish my last sentence,an argument occurs and then I would cry and feel depressed and a lot of adults were making fun of body and making rude comments. For example: I would open my fridge and my grandparents friend would come over and see me pull out a jar of ice cream and say to my grandparents “she looks like she pregnant, why would you allow her to eat ice cream. She will get bigger.” I didn’t have as many friends or talents. I tried everything I can to help others, but they just use me and

towards the nightstand, then to the window, a heavy blanket of frost hovering around her window. A deathlike silence lingers in the air, she's home. The concept of home seeming all so foreign, as this wasn’t exactly what she would call home. When her grandparents dropped the suitcases in the house, everything felt so empty. Elena had expected to see her mom in the kitchen, her dad in the living room with his face stuffed into a new book. Yet no one was there, they weren’t going to be. A flood of panic surged

they were just kidding, but they weren’t. They told me that she had passed away early in the morning and suddenly something hit me that still to this day reminds me of my great grandma. This means no more talking to her the whenever I go to my grandparents house, no more 2 vanilla wafers for all of my hard work, and no more big hugs. I can remember feeling like a part of me has just crumbled into pieces, and it will never be put back together. I still miss my great grandma and I wish I could see

My grandpa showed me that life is too short and to always be there for family no matter what happens. Death is really hard to get over for a lot of people. Most people look shocked and don’t have anything to talk about afterward. When I was six years old I lost a special person in my life. The feeling of losing a loved one is very hard to get through. The day I found out that my grandpa had died it was one of the saddest moments in my life. It hurt me because I miss him so much since he passed away

of a communicator I am today; my life experiences and culture will play a lead role within my self-assessment of my communication strengths and weaknesses. My maternal grandmother was born in Peru, married an American and moved to the U.S., my grandparents were one of a few interracial couples in the U.S., which proved difficult to be accepted during the time of the late 1960s-early 1970s. My mother is half-Peruvian and

History is a subject that can define a person’s heritage. Each one is different, but can have a few similarities. Each person’s history can explain where their family originated, the culture that they are originally from, the struggles that their family encountered, and so much more. But the most important thing that a person’s history can show, is how they ended up where they are today. My family’s history is unique in its own way. Both sides of my family originated in the larger populated city

I thought about this assignment for several days. I could not come up with a selfless act that I have done myself that seemed worthy of telling. I am a single mother but there are quite a few of us that take on this task every day. I then thought of my Grandma Hicks. She is the most caring person I know. She cared for my grandfather for the majority of their marriage due to his physical disability. I decided to write about my grandmother. Grandpa Hicks was a disabled veteran. He served our country

started heading to the airport, they already bought my plane ticket. I boarded the plane and got in my seat. I opened the window, and turned on the tv. Now I was ready for the adventure of my life. After I had arrived, I was sitting on my grandparents couch, waiting to go to the beach. We had planned to go to a very special beach. I could not stop thinking about what it looked like, I imagined at least ten different settings for it. None of us have been to this beach. Who know’s what it
