Who inspires me
Darshell Willis
Period: 6 October 30, 2014
There are millions of people who inspire me to do all types of things but, there is one specific woman who does it the best. That woman is my grandmother. My grandmother is always there and when I need advice there she is. One thing she always tells me is to be nice to others. Now most of the time I am, but like most people, I have my limits. Another thing is she is always pressuring me to do well in school. She is the reason that I am in chorus, every time I want to quit she says I can’t because I have to use my gift. The last thing she says will keep me out of trouble is not to lose my temper when I get really mad and so far I am doing well. My grandmother is always telling to do everything to the best of my ability, so I always try to do just that. She tells me that in order to get better I must to everything at a hundred and ten percent. One thing she says is simple but important is always get back up, she said that a true woman gets back up when she falls. The other thing that goes with this is to be tough. As she said about getting up the being tough kind of goes with that, and by that I mean if your tough you won’t fall down. She believes in working hard to get what you want, and that’s success. She says “success never comes easy, there’s always going to be challenges but you have to be strong, and willing to risk it all in order to do great things in life”. My grandmother if full of wisdom, and has experienced a-lot so, she always shares her stories in order to help other people to be successful as she has been. She has traveled the world and, learned many knew things from different countries. She is someone I want to grow old to be because she teaches everyone everything she knows, and encourages everyone to be who they are, not what people want them to be.

    Last January, this advice that she gave me my whole entire life, paid off. On a frigid January night, my friends and I decided to go sled riding. We went to an old street that had a towering hill that they closed in the winter. Two of my friends have trucks and we decided to sled down the enormous incline, and they would pull us up. At the bottom we were supposed to get in the bed of the truck, and then ride in the bed of the truck on the was up the hill. It was our last run and once to the bottom, Katie, Nick, and Mason decided to stay on the sled to ride to the top. I on the other hand, decided to get in the bed like we were supposed to do. That decision was a decision that was made because of my…

    When you first meet her you might think she is tough but the reason she is so tough on you is because she wants so much for you.

    She’s clever, hilarious, generous, kind, loving, intelligent, and has a strong moral compass. When I look at her, I see hope. Ultimately I see hope for me. While I often contemplate with envy the image of perfection I see in her, I have come to realize that her success story could be mine as well. She gives me an ideal to strive for. Unlike some role models, she is real, I know her well, and we have a shared history. I see her human flaws along with her perfection. In this way her level of success is not some unattainable ideal, but something that I know I have the ability to reach. Her success motivates me to work through my own issues in a way that other people’s success cannot.…

    My grandmother displays excellent leadership qualities in her friendships, business relationships, and associative relationships. She has a charisma that makes others feel better about themselves, making it easy for people to put their trust and her and look up to her. Anything that my grandmother commits herself to, she will see it out to the end. She’s a person that is persistent in achieving the goals she set without be conniving or deceiving, my grandmother believes that doing something the right way is the only way to do it. She always uses the phrase, “If you use shortcuts in life you will get cut short”. That phrase has stuck with me until this day and so have the morals and values she’s instilled in me. When I feel like things are caving in around me and I can no longer go forward or excel in things I’m doing it, I call my grandmother for support and inspiration. She always makes me feel like giving up isn’t an option. She also has taught me to not treat all people with kindness and respect, even people who has tried and tried to throw obstacles on my pathway to success. I believe for a person to treat people with something they have never treated them with takes a lot of humbleness and lack of pride.…

    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. When I grow old with my own children, I hope I can be there for my kids, and make an unforgettable impact on their lives the way she did for me.…
