the first time I saw my grandmother braid her hair‚ I was instantly astonished. The way she maneuvered her hands as she glided the hair between each finger‚ overlapping each strand of hair onto the next‚ was so delicate and precise.

The person affects my life the most‚ and also my only idol‚ my goal of living is my grandma.

Her rare personality was popular and highly respected among those who knew her. At that time women would not have good education‚ however everybody would turn to my grandmothers wisdom to ask for help.

My favorite text was by far Sula‚ by Toni Morrison. This novel was one that I understood well‚ including the metaphors‚ plot‚ character development‚ and more. Sula as a whole was very interesting to me. After just a few chapters‚ I couldn’t put the book down. The storyline was very compelling‚ as were a lot of the characters.

When I picture grandma Lu in my mind‚ I can see her wearing a “life is good” shirt and a pair of Birkenstocks. Nicknames are a big deal in my family. One person can have so many nicknames
