    When I wrote my Grandma (also known as Tutu) she responded right away. She loves to paint and write letters to family. When she writes back she always writes the longest letters ever. She lives in Maui, Lahaina, Hawaii. She often calls me banana fingers on the letter. She makes it out to Banana Fingers Makena Bergman. Also when I wrote out the letter to her, I asked her a bunch of questions to get to know about her childhood. The first question I asked her was: How was your childhood? She answered that it was very intense and her sister and her made their own toys. Also, sometimes her mother would help her make a boat that she could sail down in the ditch in front of her house after a huge rain, and when it did rain in Michigan (where she

    I really enjoyed learning about your relationships with your siblings. You talked about how your family really enjoys doing things together such as make smoothies and popcorn and I think that is really wholesome and cute. Even though we both have siblings, it was really interesting to hear about how our relationships differed due to the age gaps. My brother and I are really close in age and therefore spent a lot of time together and grew up with very similar experiences.

    The last trip before he passed away my grandfather took me and my sister to visit the country club he was member of for over ten years. At the club my grandfather as well as my father were greeted with warm smiles by many.This kind greeting made me swell with pride that my grandfather was such a respectable member.he was a well liked man by not only his family,and colleagues but by his community as well. Additionally, he always made it his priority to set aside time for family. In his later years he found very cheap tickets to come to Los Angeles, he dropped everything,work and responsibilities and grabbed the opportunity to come visit his beloved grandchildren. Till this day that memory is etched in my heart that my grandfather was willing to put on hold all of his responsibilities to see his grandchildren.

  • Writing Hand-Written Letter: A Handwritten Letter

    1953 Words  | 4 Pages

    The letter that I hand wrote for this assignment was to my grandma. It included a “thank you” for her donation to my sorority’s philanthropic event, explanation of how much money we raised at the philanthropy show, who won Big Man On Campus, questions of how she is, and a statement of how much I missed and loved her. While writing the letter, I felt very “old-fashioned”. In today’s society, not many people take the time to sit down and write a handwritten letter with pen and paper. Handwritten letters resonate a sense of compassion and are very sentimental in nature. The letter, itself, is not what is important; it is the writer and effort behind it

    Family : My Grandmother Mildred truly defined the word family as I have come to learn and live it. Holidays and family gatherings were the celebrations they were because they were surrounded by Grandma’s love. I watched family such as my late uncle Reginald become the amazing family man he was because of traditions instilled by his mother. I have also seen her daughter - my aunt Milinda – raise three beautiful children by the love and traditions passed down from Grandma. I, of course, owe most of who I am from Grandma’s love passed down through my own mother Rayetta and her husband George, whom Grandma so highly regarded.

  • Personal Narrative About Me

    I am sentimental, out-going, indecisive, understanding, curious, naive, lazy, and young. I want to be ... , well a lot of things, and growing is discovering what they are. I feel people cannot see the potential within, although there is no one to blame but myself. I look to others for approval instead of to myself. I aim to please; it leads to approval. I don’t like to discuss my faults; I pity myself.

  • Descriptive Essay On Grandparents

    It’s hard to imagine all the events that led up to ourselves coming into the world or at least it is hard to some people. When I think about all my ancestors that had to survive all the things I read about in textbooks it’s a miracle we are all here. Trying to learn about all the people in my family’s tree was interesting to know how my ancestors came about, what they did, and how long they lived. I learned mostly about my mother’s side of the family who have lived and flourished in andrews, texas where I am from. I haven’t done anything great yet but I am hoping when my grandchildren have to write about me they have something awesome to write about and will think I did something good with my life.

  • Argumentative Essay On My Father's Family

    1316 Words  | 3 Pages

    I don’t know a lot about my grandfather, I know he drank and smoked heavily for a long time, and that those were the main contributors to his death at the age of 45. My grandmother told me that he was a very loving man, but that there was always a deep sadness that followed him since she had known him. My grandmother Jaqueline was probably one of the two strongest people I have ever known, she had survived German occupation in Normandy (and fought against it as a teenager), lived in some of the poorest countries in the world teaching rural school children, and raised 5 children after having been left a widow. While not all of my uncles would turn out well following the death of their father, she tried her hardest as a single parent to make sure they always had food and a loving family to come home to, but she faced many of the same economic and social problems that single parents still face today (Knox, 362). She also had very polarized views of types of people and wasn’t afraid to talk about it (she was racist towards Romani) and it often upset my family, as my aunt and cousins are Romani (My parents were able to turn that into a lesson about racism and how it hurts people). Her long stays with my family would often put a lot of strain on my parent’s relationship, but living in France, it was not a trip she or my family could make often. Much like Harriet’s mother in The Fifth Child, she did come stay with us for several months when I was extremely ill, in order to let my parents keep working, but this still had a toll on all of them. These interviews with my parents not only gave me an insight into the differences between them and myself, but also allowed me to remember and see the connections to the wonderful but flawed people that they came

  • My Autobiography Of Education As An Autobiography Of My Life

    1689 Words  | 4 Pages

    If I wrote an autobiography of my life it probably be something like this. I was raised by both of my parents, Pauline and George Starks. My childhood was not the “ideal” childhood. Although, I thought it was until I met my husband and we compared his to mine. Some things that happened to me did nit happen in his life. For instance, as a child my parents move from place to place. They were big gamblers and was always moving to relocate running from loan sharks and people that they owed money. They would borrow money, sell anything to get to a place where they could gamble. During that time as a child me and my four sibling were put into so many schools I can not count them all. My mother had an elementary education, however she was good at

    When I first received this assignment my immediate thought was “who can I write about?” and “what family member should I write about?” I though maybe I can write about my mom but I already wrote about her, then I though maybe I could write about my dad but there was not much to try about him and then I though I could write about my cousin Ellen but that did not sit right with me. I went through all my family members or so I though until I realized that my family does
