Who shapes your life?

Posted on December 11, 2007.

Everybody has a person who they look up to ,whether it be a older brother or sister, your parents, or someone else. They guide us and teach us lessons about life and how to be good people. Well, the person in my life that influences me is my grandmother. Recently, she has been having some problems with my uncles and cousins, and it really upsets. She has a stomach disease called diverticulitis, and it causes her to get very bad pains in her stomach and makes her throw up. When she gets really upset about the problems in her life, her diverticulitis acts up and she gets sick for weeks at a time. Even though she has these burdens, she always tries to stay strong and remember that she still has a loving family and people who she can trust. Whenever I feel overwhelmed with school or just life in general, I can just call her up on the phone and she always makes me feel better. She is really funny and can always make light out of a dark situation. She cares about me and my family so much and I really admire her for being such a strong and loving person.
