My Interests

Heroes:

My grandfather(Papa) and my greataunt(Aunt Christine) are heroes of mine. They are both veterans of WWII. She was a nurse so close to the front line that she got a metal for battle. I can only imagine how many lives she helped save. Sadly, hers has now passed. Papa was an airplane mechanic for the Navy on an aircraft carrier. And he couldn't swim. Bravery changes the world. They've both stayed loving people even when things in their lives weren't loving at all. I also admire my grandmother(Memaw) from the other side of my family. She was a highschool English teacher for almost 30 years. She's spread so much knowledge, introduced me to literature and theatre, and she broke a mop over my dad's back when he told her off. That's just too wonderful.
