As you walk into the front door of her house you notice a long‚ slender stairway that led up into the main hallway of the house. The strong smell of cigarette smoke is quite evident when you reach this point. Yes‚ my grandmother did smoke. My grandmother’s house was always full of laughter

Interestingly‚ the person who had the most impact on my life was my grandmother. My grandmother was a retired College Principal‚ but for me she was always my Grandmother. She taught me the kinds of things that school teachers never could teach in the classroom. Because my parents were at work and my grandmother was retired‚ I spent a lot of time with her. She was a mother‚ a grandparent and a teacher at the same time. She always prepared an interesting activity for the day. We visited museums‚ theatres

Doctor Charles Dunford cared about people. But when he had bent to kiss the old lady’s face‚ something new and almost ugly had come into his eyes: fear‚ uncertainty‚ sadness‚ and perhaps even

One of the people I really admire is a Polish physicist and chemist woman‚ full of courage and determination to investigate radioactivity. My admiration is not only for her talent but also for the fact that during the 19th Century‚ not many people could think about a woman changing millions of lives with her full-time studies‚ especially if she came from a poor family.
