Well, today I will talk about an old person I know who has had an interesting life, my grandfather. He lived and grew up during wartime, so he understands deeply about danger and a poor life. Therefore, he taught me how to respect my life and save it. Additionally, the interesting thing is that he is a soul leader who directly participated in wartime against French colonial forces. He has a lot of interesting and exhilarating stories about us, like swimming in the river and hiding underground. But my most impressive story is about the love of my grandparents. He belongs to my grandmother and they take care of each other carefully until now, so I extremely appreciate and respect their love. Additionally, he has imparted many valuable lessons to me, like planting trees and cooking, which have influenced me a lot and shaped my behavior and thinking.
