Bill When I was growing up I had many role models in my life. This included people like John Cena, Dwayne the Rock Johnson, and Bill Clinton. Out of all these people one of them stood out a lot. Not because he was a wrestler, a movie star, or even the president of the United States. He was my grandfather, Bill. I lived close to my grandfather, right down the hill to be exact, and my father helped him run the farm. So, I got to see him multiple times every day. We connected very well and had a lot of fun together, even when grandma yelled at us for messing something up. The only time I got mad at him was when I was little. He told me I couldn’t ride a calf and I insisted him I could ride a calf, eventually I got fed up with him so I kicked him in the leg with my boot. Other than that we got along great. When I was still in Elementary, some days I did not want to sit around in the office with my mom waiting for her to get done do secretary stuff. Instead I would …show more content…
When the bus dropped me off I ran as fast as I could around the house to the backdoor. After I got into the house I went right into the living room where my grandma and grandpa sat. Grandpa and I then usually got out a golf club, a golf ball, and a plastic cup. We placed the cup on one side of the living room and stood at the opposite end taking turns putting it in the cup. He told me I was a natural at golf and that I had a good put. It seems that I always won at putting, but looking back at it now he was probably letting me win. While we were putting Grandma was making us both peanut butter and jelly sandwiches with a side of chips and always a bowl of ice cream for me. After eating that Grandpa would tell me how much he needed my help with feeding all the cows. It turns out I didn’t help him that much because my one and only job was to open and close all the gates so he could drive through
This person has always been there for me, inspires me to work my hardest, and has had many achievements in his life. This person is my dad. My dad, Sean Pitzer, has been the most influential person in my life. He has taught me to do most things I know, and has been willing to do anything for my family. My dad has taught me how to play sports, read, and many other things.
We can all learn a thing a two from our elders and can never stop learning. We are all grateful for the sacrifices my father and his father made. Children are treated very strictly by their parents. But aunts and uncles are much nicer to their nephews and nieces. I remember I was not allowed to hang out with certain kids if my mom saw them as the trouble maker types.
I wrote this essay because I wanted to know how my grandma's life influences mine, and I wanted my readers to know that even the differences could become one's inspiration and supports. At first, I had a hard time to pick a role model, because I had so many of them that I didn't know which one would be suitable to write about. However, after reading Raymond Carver, Mentor, I thought I could write about people who are close to me. For this reason, I chose my grandma. While I was writing this essay, what’s interesting was I realized that my grandma's life is completely different from mine.
If it was not for him; I probably would not have come out of my shell. My grandfather taught me the importance of family. He reminded that this may be the only opportunity I may actually experience the idea of being with family. I listened to him and being in Ecuador taught me my true identity; going to Ecuador taught me what it meant to be with family. When I got back to the U.S, and a few months have passed by.
The person I chose that I would like to be described as is an ice hockey player known as P.K. Subban on the Montreal Canadiens. Subban is a great role model for young people and deserves the respect that I have for him. When he is on the ice, Subban is always working hard to get better at different zones of skill such as stick handling, shooting the puck, and body checking. When Subban is off the ice, he is always very fun and kind to his fans and even the opponent’s fans. Subban always tends to be very active in the hockey community for helping the youth improve when he is not working hard to improve himself.
My grandfather’s responses don’t change the way I think of him. I was surprised when he said that retirement was his favorite stage of life just because he has told me about how much fun he had when was in high school. His responses have sorta changed how I want to live my life. He never gives up on anything and that inspired me to do so! It also gave me the interpretation that just because something might not work out, there is other doors open for
I right away open my eyes, and seeing my mom tapping me on my arm saying “it’s time for breakfast.” This was a saturday morning up north at my great-grandparents cabin. I hope you like my story! I got out of bed right away and ran down the stairs as fast as I can, smelling the most delicious, buttery, hot pancakes on the stove. As I got to the kitchen I see the table already set, and pancakes staring right at me.
My Grandma is like rowdy and juniors friendship. Rowdy and Junior always counted on each other and would always tell each other everything. One time where my Grandma has sustained me was when i was in fifth
In my opinion Nelson Mandela is one of the best role models to look up to, cause Mandela showed the world a whole new way of thinking and acting, with getting rid of apartheid and starting equality for every human being. Nelson was the first symbol of strength for the black people, he showed hope for every South African person. Nelson would die for the people to get where the world is today. Nelson Mandela was the leader of ANC (African National Congress) where he fought for every South African person, I believe the world would have been different if Nelson wouldn’t have fought for freedom for every individual. What I adore about Nelson Mandela is clearly he’s tolerance, and what he managed to do to society.
