my idol
My idol Growing up as a child and into a woman. Meeting and spending time with my great grandmother has always been a wish of mine. Though she passed away several years before I was born, this feeling of wanting to meet her has emerged within me with each passing year. I guess, it is all because she raised my mother and did a fantastic job. So then I just needed to thank her for molding such a blessed mum for me.
Mira my unknown inspiration , always loved her local and organic home grown foods. She rarely ate processed food and considered such as poison for the human body. Therefore if I were to share a meal with her it would definitely be her favorite, which was stewed codfish with coconut milk served with green bananas and a cup of hot Caribbean cocoa tea. This she called the power food for man. My mother told me that she loved praying and always had an answer to every problem that you might face in life no matter how serious you might believe it might be. We would discuss the way in which the world has changed drastically over the decades and why we think it has gotten this way. Also the many ways I should deal with the obstacles that may come my way in life .For many times we as young people lose our way in life and it is because of the simple reason of being unfocused. All we need to do is to take life one step at a time and we will see our way through and this is what Mira taught her children . If this opportunity should come my way one day my main question to her would be what satisfaction did she get from being the kind, understanding, prayerful, forgiving and loving person she was. Many times we wish that there was someone we could go to when we feel troubled and ask this one question. What can I do to fix this? At present I am thinking of taking on a new career and for just this once I would seek her advice on what career should I choose. I am certainly sure my dear old great

    When she passed I cried, for days and days I cried. I felt like someone had just torn away a huge chunk of my heart and replaced with tears and grief. My mother tells me I am just like my grandmother. I love helping others, hearing their problems and giving insight. My grandmother, she would listen and give advice and she helped me learn a lot of things about myself that I never knew. I am writing this essay, but all I can think about is how much her personality captivated me to be who I am today and that I want to make people feel better about themselves. I want that more than anything. I want to motivate. I want to help someone find the light at the end of a dark tunnel. I want to listen and learn from people dealing with struggles, help them…

    I have left for extended periods for professional or academic ventures in the past but Vanessa and I both are deeply rooted in my parent’s home. Between December of 2008 and July of 2009 Vanessa lost a grandmother, two great grandmothers and a great grandfather. She was blessed with seven years of her life in which she was able to get to know the generation of people that she had come from. In 2005 her father moved in with his elderly mother and grandmother after his mother was diagnosed with breast cancer; shortly thereafter my maternal grandfather began to rapidly deteriorate, physically and mentally, at which time he moved in with us. Vanessa gained a great respect for the elderly as well as life experiences and knowledge one can only gain by exposure to older generations; however, these blessings came with lessons in illness and death and the real life challenge of coping with the sadness of end of life deterioration and the loss of loved ones. Vanessa understood that death was the inevitable end to life in the flesh, but she also understood that her loved ones were starting a new life in heaven. Instead of displaying exclusively classic signs of grief that would normally be seen in a child her age under the circumstances, she approached coping with a bitter sweet perspective that…

    She was the only one that could bail me out of time out when i got in trouble, the only one that would play dress up with me because I was the only girl growing up, and the only one that allowed me to watch TV until my eyes fell out. I loved staying up late listening to her spooky ghost stories and dreaded waking up early for Sunday morning bible study with her. Grandma Bea was the big sister I always wanted, and regretfully, I am just now realizing it. She had been a registered nurse for years, and worked as a supervisor in a nursing home. Recently, my family began to notice her regular calls were fading from the cheery talk about how great work was, to her worrying someone was stealing from her. Some of her belongings began to disappear. When her mother's jewelry came up missing, my dad went over to make sure she didn't just misplace it. After searching for hours, he plopped down on the couch for a breather when, low and behold, the missing jewels were found in between the couch cushions. As my family's concern for her well-being began to grow, she reasoned this was only what comes of old age along with her lousy eyesight and somewhat hard of hearing. She was not able to drive at night. If she happened to be behind the wheel at night fall, she would pull over to switch seats with someone. Grandma is such a stubborn woman. She argued with the family until they were convinced that she could stay at her own apartment. After all, she lived in a senior living community located directly across the street from her job. She was still a certified registered nurse and was still my father's mother, so he let her be and dismissed it as she disputed. Not too long after that episode, my dad received an urgent message from her exclaiming that there were aliens in her apartment, and she needed to get picked up immediately. As bogus as that sounded, my dad rushed over as soon as he could. He…

    Many times in life, we come across a tough, influential person who leaves a great and powerful impact on our lives. Maybe it is an actress, superhero, family, teacher, or just a stranger who did something that changes your thoughts and decisions about life. Fortunately, I came across to someone who supported me from the very beginning of the journey of my life. That person is my beloved mother, who taught me to walk my first steps, who introduced me to the crazy side of life, and who has always been there for me when I needed her. Ever since I could remember, she has been right beside me supporting any goal I was trying to reach, even when it was incredibly ridiculous to everybody else.
