And with what seemed like a quick power nap, and what felt like a blink of an eye, I awoke to cheers, clapping, a standing ovation, and a lot of laughter. I thought to myself at this point, “it’s only been like 5 seconds? Why are they clapping already…”. Well, I looked up at the clock and it was now 9:50 P.M.!!!!
My grandpa was everything to me
He showed me that when I laugh, it’s always best to laugh with my whole body. He showed me that as powerful as storytelling is, listening intently can have even more of an impact. Because of the sacrifices he made throughout his life, the least I can do is be the hardest working person in the room and make this world a better place for the rest of my life so that the lessons he passed down to me are meaningful.
