30 Day Blogging Challenge PROMPT May 15th Write about a time when you or someone you know acted selflessly. What was the motivation and what were the results? I would say when my Grandmother went to work in town for a well to do family so that her older sister could attend teacher's college. Her income went to pay for her sister's schooling. She adored her sister, Jean and would have been only too happy to do this for her. The sad thing is, her sister died of pneumonia while at Teacher's College and never did get to teach. The thing is, Aunt Jean was a favourite to my grandmother's mother. I don't think her mother treated my grandmother all that well and later in life, my grandmother was the only one of her three remaining siblings to take the woman in when she got old. Even though she got the cruddy end of the stick, my grandmother was able to see the good through it all. Even with a physically and emotionally abusive husband, she would have done it all again because it meant having children and grandchildren that absolutely adored her. She was my champion. She was my strong foundation when my own world started to rattle and shake. I could always count on her unconditional love. I still miss my Gramzie. I am better for having had her in my life. |
30 Day Blogging Challenge PROMPT May 14th What was the best/worst letter or email you ever received or wrote? Write about the situation surrounding that letter, and why it was so significant. I am thinking this would be the letters I received when I was accepted into University and Teacher's College. I received two acceptance letters for Teacher's College and decided to go to Western in London instead of York University in Toronto. I jokingly say I accepted Western because I did not want to be driving into the sun both ways when I commuted to school. But the truth was, Western had a better special education program and that is my area of interest. Being accepted meant bettering myself. I come from a family where only two people on my mother's side attended university and none that I know of on my father's side of the family went. My father was an electrician and my mother was a secretary - both admirable professions, but I wanted more education. Going to university had always been a dream of mine. |
