Life isn't easy but it gets us stronger

Life has a lot of unexpected turns that can result in changing your life and the way you think. My grandfather passed away back in 2001 and i didn't really understand his death my parents just told me he was very sick and they would tell me when i was a little older. At 12 years old they told me that he had cancer and they detected it when he was already in the 3rd trimester. He always looked very healthy and went to the gym never knowing that he only had a couple weeks left. He was a very happy man always going out with his nieces and nephews and doing what he could to see us. No one saw it coming and even tho he knew he was dying he would never show he was upset. I knew deep inside he was. He always talked about doing better than he ever did to my mo and going to school and having a degree.Education was always very important to him. Now that i am older i always have him in the back of my mind when it has to do with school. Knowing that my grandpa is looking at me i want to make him proud and make sure i graduate and put school first and do all i can to succeed in school.  Doing the best i can is what helped me overcome this tragedy knowing that he's above looking after me and helping me to my best. I learned that any day can be your last day and you want to do good things each and everyday and set an example so you can e a role model for other people especially your family. I know college is going to be difficult with all the classes but anyone can do it if they truly want to do their best and i put my education above anything.
