My grandmother had a big influence in a good way when I was a young child until I grew up. My grandmother is a kind of person who is very studious and he is also a teacher in primary elementary, primary school in public and she was a science teacher to be exact. So he taught me a lot of things not only in academics but at the same time he taught me how to face problems in real life setting. So let’s just take for example, she tried to taught me how to do table etiquette in order for me to behave in front of the other people and she has been so inspiring because she really wants to learn something new. So during her free time she usually listens to English news or even reading books or even writing jumbled word puzzles just to sharpen her mind. She also been teaching me how to save money so even one peso coin she taught me to save it because as what she said my money wouldn’t grow if I cannot save even one peso coin which is really true. So she influenced me so much because I am practicing this kind of habit now. Thank you.

My grandmother had a big influence on me in a good way when I was a young child growing up. My grandmother is the kind of person who is very studious, and she is also a teacher in elementary school, specifically a science teacher. She taught me a lot of things, not only in academics but also how to face problems in real-life situations. For example, she taught me table etiquette so I could behave properly in front of other people. She has been so inspiring because she always wants to learn something new. During her free time, she usually listens to English news, reads books, or works on jumbled word puzzles just to sharpen her mind. She also taught me how to save money; even a one peso coin, she encouraged me to save because, as she said, my money wouldn't grow if I couldn't save even one peso coin, which is really true. She influenced me so much that I am practicing this habit now. Thank you.
