Well, I would like to share about my granny, one of the most intriguing old people I have ever known, and she also has been the wind beneath my wings. At 62 years old, she is now in the autumn of her life, but she is still young at heart. What makes her interesting is her prism of life and fascinating stories that she often tells me. She used to be a kindergarten teacher, which is why she has a neck for connecting with children. I still remember every night before bedtime, she led me and my sister into captivating tales about her younger years and historical events, feeling like we were travelling back in time, and the more I know about her difficulties she experienced, the more respect I have for her. And despite all those things, she always gives a positive outlook on life, which has inspired me a lot. Moreover, with her profound wisdom and empathy, she is always right by my side whenever I face challenges and gives me practical advice and lesson. She is like a guiding light to me. Honestly, I have never imagined how I could achieve my goals without her invaluable support and encouragement. Although we are in different generations, it feels like there’s no generation gap between us. For me, my granny is such an interesting person, not only because of her stories, but also her positive outlook on life. She genuinely cherishes her present in my life and the way she always reminds me to keep my Gina and forge ahead no matter what.
