Hi,
this is the essay I'm working on right now...and I'll be glad if you guys can give me hints or any kind of help...Thanks
My grandmother, who is now seventy-eight years old, has been a unique, an exemplary, and the sincerest person I've known and have had the pleasure to live with. Despite her old age and background, she is a remorseless person. My grandmother had six daughters and four sons, which as a widow with no education, had to raise by herself without any help. She always aspired for jobs with a higher income but the lack of education was an obstacle which she knew she had to overcome. However, she persevered, and learned how to read and write by herself. My grandmother found a job as a teacher and gave her daughters and sons the opportunity of education. Today, all of them have their PhDs as economists, social studies professors, architects, physiotherapists, industrial designers, accountants, and agricultural engineers.
An incessant mother and grandmother, who has taught me the values of accomplishment and commitment, and by her example, has shown me the significance of the word perseverance. My grandmother is my role model, my inspiration, a paragon of a tenacious woman, and a determined seventy-eight years old woman who has fought for what she loves. She's been a positively influent person in my life; "never give up, never forget who you are" she used to say.
As I learned from her, perseverance has played an important role, not only emotionally, but also academically.
Perseverance took me where I now stand, for example, I started in the ESOL program (English for speakers of other Languages), and this program gave me the opportunity to think about my future carefully. The opportunities given at my school such as; tutoring and the rigorous courses offered, altogether with the support of my teachers helped me succeed. Seeing myself like a person who wasn't part of this system, someone who didn't speak English, and someone who had no previous knowledge in any courses, despite all of this, I overcame these barriers and reached my goals. Today I'm in the Top 15 of my senior class taking the most rigid classes offered by the school, Vice-President of the Spanish Honor Society club, Ex-Vice President and current historian of Science Honor Society, member of the Principal's student Advisory Committee, and member of Mu Alpha Theta (Math Honor Society).
..Something else I should add...
Thanks
