The characteristics instilled in me that I value the most came from my grandparents. Growing up I did not have a supportive mother and father so my grandparents taught me everything there is to know about being a respectful and kind person. Any opportunity throughout my day to be a kind person is paying respects to my grandparents and in any aspect of life I appreciate everything they’ve taught me. I would not be the person I am today without them and I am so thankful to have their influence in my life. The characteristics that define me fill my heart with joy knowing I’m doing it for a better cause than just for myself. I know having a kind heart will keep me on the path of towards my goal, to be happy.
