Definitely not fun typing without being able to see the screen!!!
Who’s the story teller in your family? Relate a story frequently told. How has that person/story influenced you?
The storyteller of my family is my grandpa. At 90 years old, he has the most insightful and yet inspirational stories I have ever heard. During family gatherings, everyone huddles around him, quiet as a mouse and listens to what he has to say. Listening to that thick and heavy accent recalling the last 90 years of his life and past experiences. His comedic fashion of language cannot be dismissed. He interprets humor into every story, gaining everyone’s interest that much more. My grandpa is one of the most important people in my life. Sharing the same birthday, and blowing out the same candles for 22 years, he is a major part of my life. At the age he is, he has come so far, through thick and thin. Coming all the way from Poland, being a spy for the English army, having a fur business in NYC, to being an amazing father, husband and grandfather. Through all of his accomplishments and triumphs, he still walks this earth telling stories for those to listen. His intelligence is beyond others, and his will to live thus far is astonishing.
He has influenced me and continues to everyday. He gives me the drive to overcome any obstacles that come in my way. Giving me the strength to yearn success like he has. Without him, I wouldn’t be the same. I see so much of him in me that will live on forever.
