A Person Who Has Made a Difference: My Grandmother

My grandmother was elected one of the Exemplary Mother of her community in 2005. She lived in a small village after she married with my grandfather in 1940. Grandmother raised six children alone since my grandfather passed away, while my father was 6 years old. She made a living by selling vegetables, fruit and breeding a wide range of poultry.

After all the children grew up, she promoted and participated aggressively for Mother’s classroom in community, where the ladies can gather for learn about cooking or singing. At the beginning, most of people did not support her ideas or give any feedback warmly, but she never gave up persuading everyone to attend it. Few years later, most of women appreciated her for organizing the classroom that enriched their life. Furthermore, at her old age, she devoted to helping not only the poor but the senior citizens who living alone, as well. The community would like to express the thankfulness for her dedication, by awarding her honor of Exemplary Mother of year 2005. I deeply believe she worth to this honor.

Unfortunately, she passed away on last Dec., however she would be my most admire and most beloved grandmother in my mind.
