Grandmother Profile
English Composition 1
My Grandmother
My Grandmother goes by the name of babunya, and baba for short, this means grandma in Ukrainian. She lived in Ukraine for most of her life, and she is almost 90 years old now. She’s been through a lot in her years, thus her appearance has changed. For every wrinkle she has there’s a story to match. She has had every color hair: blonde, red, brown, and black. Now her hair is a short gray color. She keeps it short because it stays out of the way, even though she hates it short. She has always had long her until now. She has also progressively become shorter over the years due to a very bad back; she now stands just under five feet. Since she spends most of her days in the garden her usual outfit consists of jeans and a flannel shirt so she does not ruin her nice clothes. She takes immense pride in her garden, and uses only the foods she grows to make her authentic Ukrainian meals.
My grandma makes the best meals. She cooks dinner every Sunday as if it were a holiday. This is something she takes pride in; it’s a time when the whole family gets together to eat a good hearty meal. Sunday meals usually consist of beef and mashed potatoes with the best mushroom gravy, homegrown green beans, homemade sauerkraut with bacon bits, fresh salad, and homemade cheesecake for dessert. This is her favorite time of the week because she can cook and catch up with her family.
My grandma grew up in a time when there was very little food to eat so she cherishes the weekly Sunday meals. When she was growing up in Ukraine, the communist government started a famine. To her food is not something to waste, and should sort of be celebrated. Before every meal my grandma prays to thank God for everything He has given her and her family. She thanks Him for where she is because she has been through the best and worst times anyone could go through.
My grandma gets very lonely now that my grandpa is in Germany. We still go visit her once
