Describe a Person
Describe a person
Viscous and scary when angry, but my granddad is the kindest, generous and trustworthy ma I know. Santa Claus is like his twin, they are so alike: big beer belly; kind and gentle-like a little baby lamb; and old. His bright ginger hair is like a great big bonfire on bonfire night, or a pumpkin on Halloween. Matching his hair, his beard is as rough and sharp as Velcro.
At summer or at Christmas time (when I go visit and stay with him), he always has something to tell me, whether it is about his trips to Ireland or his trip to the pub. It is like listening to the news-interesting yet shocking. His strong loud west Yorkshire accent goes right through me, it’s awful. Deafening.
Every day at 2 o’clock he would say that he is taking the dog for a walk down the beach, but really, he would be going down to the pub for a pint or several pints of cider. He is a quite popular man (probably because he is a regular at pubs and gets along with every kind of person), even though he is slightly deluded. All the time, he’s either eating; gardening or at the pub-he rarely spends ant time with his family. Even if he is with his family, he never talks as he’s always listening to his rubbish music so loud the neighbours can hear it.
Strangely, gingerbread me or vanilla ice-cream always reminds me of him. Always makes me reminisce of when he took me to the beach with a humongous tub of vanilla ice-cream when I was little. Gingerbread men remind me of the sweet smell I always come across when I’m with him, maybe also because he’s the colour gingery-brown with bluey-green smarties on as eyes looks like my granddad’s hair and eyes, ginger and as green as a freshly picked lime.
I idolise my granddad, he is just amazing. As I grew up with him, I sometimes reflect on his actions, it is quite worrying. Although he isn’t perfect, he is the perfect role model for

    There are few relationships in my life that could compare to the complexity of the relationship that I share with my father. I grew up hearing stories of his childhood when he grew up in a military family with eleven brothers and sisters, moving from state to state in the deep humid south. I grew up idolizing him because of the crazy wacky adventures that he and his older brother (his best friend) would always be involved in. I always pictured myself in his brother’s shoes living the memories along with my father. He lived in a time where kids could run out of the house in the morning and not have to return until the moon rises, a time of peace and simplicity. In retrospect I think my dad and his brother must have the worst neighbors as they terrorized the banks of the bayous getting wrapped up into all sorts of mischief. In his stories he was presented with several choices, some good, some bad, he didn’t always make the best decisions but he always learned from them and engraved in me the importance of learning from my mistakes, a character trait that was deeply seeded into me since the day I could comprehend English. The reason that my fathers’ life lessons have stuck with me so well is because he doesn’t preach to me about good and bad, he lets me live my life and is always there to help me when I screw up allowing me to live and learn. The lessons that are most important in life are the ones you learn from your mistakes, something that my dad taught me and I’d never forget.…

    Have you known someone who it just feels like they always knows what to do?

    Sometimes in life, you encounter someone who positively changes your own ideals. Personally, that specific person would have to my grandfather, Earl Childers. He is the kind of person who always has time to talk to his grandchildren. My grandfather is the type of community leader who has provided hundreds of jobs to those in need, as well as given inspiration to many. While growing up, my grandfather was a role model to me. Without him in my life, then I would not have been able to develop into such an enthusiastic, young gentleman. As a result of the influence that my grandfather had on me, I have acquired the capability to excel in anything that I exert effort into. He has also shown me the importance of helping others; and, in exchange, I have received a better perspective on life.…

    My grandfather has and always will be my role model. I treasure many memories of him and I devoting our time to serving of our community.

    When my son was first born I knew how proud he was to have battled with cancer long enough to be a Great Grandfather. He stayed very involved with my son’s life until the cancer started to get worse.

I was raised to drive a Ford or I would basically be shunned. Every summer I would spend two weeks with my grandpa and that would be his time to…
