Who is the Most Influencial Person in Your Life?

 Query: “Outside of parents who has influenced your life more than anyone else; who had an impact on your life and what was it about that person that meant something to you?”

So many people in my life inspire me, so it was really hard to pick just one person. If I could one person though, then I would pick my Grandmother.

When my Grandmother was around the age of 28, she came over to the United States from Brazil because she wanted to have the opportunites that exist in the United States, that she wouldn’t be able to get in Brazil. I think that my Grandmother had to be a courageous person to make this move because when she moved into the United States she didn’t anyone and had to start her life all over again. However, I am thankful that she made this move because if she didn’t then I would have never been born, since she got married and had twelve children in the United States.

Unfortunately, about 4 years ago my Grandmother passed away, so I didn’t get to spend as much time with her as I wanted to. However, I writing this post made me think of all the great memories that I had with her, which made me thankful; which is especially imoportant around this time of the year.
