Everybody has one important person in their lives. For me, the most influential person in my life is my grandmother. She is a traditional Chinese woman. When I was a child, my grandmother had been blind since I was not born, but she is nimbler than most people. My grandmother took care of me when I was a baby. Although my grandmother is dead, I still miss her, because she taught more experiences to me and these have changed many things in my mind.
When I was a little girl, my parents went to another place for their work. Therefore, my grandmother took care of me at home. However, I thought that my parents did not love me because they were not like other parents who stayed at home. I felt my life was lost color. I always felt so bored and unhappy, because other children did not want to play with me, and I lost my parents love. Over some time, my character became lonely and shy. I thought that I would not have anymore changes in my life. However, my grandmother used something to change my thinking.
One day, I was very unhappy and worrying about coming back home. When my grandmother knew that I was back, she cooked some dessert for me. But I did not want to eat anything. My grandmother was very worried about me and she asked me what happened. I told her that my teacher needed me to choose one story for speech in the classroom at next week. I was worrying about it because I was a shy girl and I did not believe that I could do it. After my grandmother understood the reasons, she laughed at me. I felt so uncomfortable. Therefore, I made a decision for this speech. But I always felt very angry about my grandmothers behavior, and I did not want to talk with her. For a while, my grandmother did not laugh again. She said that this was a good chance for me and I must try to do it. I always did not want to talk about anything with her. Nevertheless, my grandmother still told one story to me. When she finished this story, she taught me who had the confidences and bravery to solve this problem. After this day, my grandmother requested me, who told one story to her in every night. Because of my grandmothers training, I improved my speech and I became brave. So I was successful to tell this story to my classmates in the classroom. In this matter, I know that nothing is impossible. If I want to do anything, then I must be brave to do it. Because of my grandmother is teaching me, I changed shyness in my life and I was very happy for this change. I did not feel lonely again, because many children liked the story I told them, and then they wanted to play with me.
My grandmother taught more experiences to me. Furthermore, she was a good grandmother because she knew that how to take care of me. For example, I felt very bad one morning. My grandmother touched my face, and then she said that I was sick and I needed to rest. I heard my grandmother because although my grandmother did not see anything, she knew more things. At the night, I still felt very bad and I was afraid about my disease. However, my grandmother comforted me. She took care of me. The next morning, I felt so good and strong. When I looked at my grandmothers face, I was crying because I felt she was so tired to take care of me. However, my grandmother was so happy to comfort me and she said that she was fine. At now, I think that my grandmother is a great woman.
Because of my grandmother is care. I know that many people need our help when they have trouble. I learned how to help those people from my grandmother. On the cold day, my friend and I came back home from school, we were very happy to talk with each other. Suddenly, my friend fell on the road and got hurt. She was crying. I did not know how to comfort her because her knee was bleeding. I looked for other people, but nobody came. I was very anxious and worried about her. At this time, I wanted to cry, but I knew that I could not cry because if I was crying, then my friend would be worrying about more things. Therefore, I tried to think of some ideas to help my friend. All at once, I remembered that my grandmother taught me how to cure her wound. I went to comfort my friend. At the same time, I immediately looked for one of medicinal herbs to cure her wound. In the end, I found the medicinal herbs to cure her wound, and then she did not cry. I was took my friend to go back her home. My friend and her mother said thanks for my help. When I came back home, I told to my grandmother about this. She was so happy to praise me. At this moment, although I felt very tired, I was glad to hear about it. After this time, I understood why my grandmother taught me to help other people. Therefore, I had been deciding to help much more people.
My grandmother has many roles in my life. Sometimes my grandmother is like a best friend, she would share most interesting stories to me. Sometimes my grandmother is like a rigorous teacher. She passed much knowledge from her experiences to me, and she would request me who must change bad behavior. Sometimes my grandmother is like a chef. She could cook the most delicious food for me. According to my grandmother, I realize that my parents work in another place for our lives, and they love me very much. Therefore, I think that my grandmother is very important in my life. Furthermore, I believe that I do not forget her teaching forever, and I feel very happy to live with my grandmother

My grandmother has worked her way up through her schooling and to go college to get her degree. She has never given up even through the hard times that occurred in the 30’s and so on. It is astonishing that she can keep her head up high and her spirits strong through everything. She just makes me want to keep going and be successful just the same way that she was. It just gives me some sort of motivation and a sense of greater knowledge. Knowing that even though you go through a lot of things you can be very successful, just the way that she was.
It helps me to understand to never give up. Whether it is in school out side of school. Or just in my day to day life all together. Just look to the future not the bad times that are going on right now. But for you to look at the good times that are to come. So it is sort of the way that I live my life. And that’s the way that I wish others would live there’s as well.
My future goals are very important to me. How I want to get to those goals are very important to me as well. Me being able to get through my studies and and getting to that high goal of learning. Is where I want to be with my self very soon. My grandmother went through college too be a nurse, with three kids and another on the way. And she passed and did everything that she possibly could, to make sure that would happen. Which is astonishing to me. Everyone else would’ve just quit and said it wasn’t worth it. But no not my grandmother. She is just not that type of person.
She show’s me that it is not ok to give up on your dreams. No matter what anyone might tell you. So that has really impacted me on a high scale. Makes me get my butt into gear and try to get done what needs to be done to be able to reach those high expectations that I have for myself. And she is always right behind me, and she has my back through anything. That’s why I feel like I need to do this for her. Because she is always been there for me. And I don’t want her thinking that all her hard work has been a waste of time.
So I really want to achieve my future goals, of becoming a physical anthropologist so then she will know that everything she worked for was not all in vain. So then maybe I can help to take care of her so she will be happy for the rest of her life. That’s my main point for trying my hardest and being able to succeed in my goals. So then I can make my most influential person the happiest she can be. My grandmother
