Participation 2

I searched a picture, wrote my story, and submitted it.

Here is the story:
    The picture reminds me of one person who is the most significant in my life is my grandmother. I had an experience with my grandmother before I came to America. I think my grandmother has the biggest influence on me. She is over 70 years old, but looks smart. She used to be a professor working for universities, but now she is retired at home. It is very easy for her students to recognize her because she wears a pair of glasses, which makes her look very professional and knowledgeable. She has a pleasant face, and always gives the impression of being someone who is very nice and friendly. When you have problems, she is the person you should turn to for she is intelligent and ready to help. My grandmother is the happiest person I admire the most. she taught me was to have a fighting spirit. She always encouraged me to do my best in accounting, even if I were terrible at it. She taught accounting before she retired in the university where I was studying. I guess for her students she was the best teacher that one can have. She also has influenced me a lot in learning accounting since I graduated. She was stimulated my imagination and interest in accounting. Apart from that, she often encouraged me when I felt bad or did a bad job on an exam. I still remember she told me that as long as I had tried, it did not matter what result I got on the tests. She used to say “It does not matter if you win or not. The important thing is to do your best and keep going.” I guess she was the most popular professor among the students in the accounting department. She is also my hero, too. She taught me more than accounting. She also taught me that fighting spirit does not come from outside. It comes from within. Now the fighting spirit penetrates every corner of my life and be impressive. My grandmother gave me her best kind-hearted. For example, I call her when I am lost driving because she is like a human map. She always knows where to go because she probably has been there for shopping once or twice. When I feel hungry, I just go to my grandmother’s home and she makes me plenty of delicious foods. She prepares vegetable, chicken, dessert and soup for me. Her home is like a grocery store and I do not need to pay all the money. No wonder I love my grandmother. Even now, I still think of her sweet rice cake and it is the best. If I’m ticked off, I just tell my grandmother because no matter what I’m ticked off about, she pretty much always agrees with me. She looks like a best friend who is always there to listen. She gives me a ton of gifts and supports all my decisions. My grandmother’s kind-hearted is a treasure, so I cherish it very much.
