31 Day Challenge- Day 2 My Hero

     We all have heroes, whether we admit it or not. For most people, their heroes are one or both of their parents, or maybe even a celebrity that did something that made them that person's hero. Who is my hero? Without a doubt my hero is my grandma (Meme). My grandma has been there every time I have needed someone to talk to, or needed some help. Me and my grandma don't really have a grandmother/grandson relationship, we are more like life long friends. Ever since day one my grandma has been there for me, and I know that she will be until our last day on earth.
     A lot of people say that I am spoiled by her, and yes, I may be, but that is not the reason why she is my hero. My grandma was born in a family with nine other kids, and in a family that didn't have as much money as the other families around them. She grew up in a strict household with her dad being a preacher at a Baptist church. All of the kids out of that family didn't go to college because of their funds. How did they make enough money without going to college to raise their own families and get off on their own? Faith. They all had faith growing up with their religious background, and that is what keeps them going through everything, whether it be financial problems, family problems, or health problems.
     My grandparents have been hit pretty hard with how the economy is now. Neither of my grandparents have a job, and their only source of income is Social Security. They live in the same house for more than 30 years. The same exact house that they raised their children in. They have had to evacuate many times because of living in the galveston area, and from the hurricanes. The house is slowly falling apart and needs some work done. On top of all that, my grandpa has heart problems and health problems. He has been in and out of the hospital for awhile now, and he may be sick at times, but both of them are staying strong. Yes, there may be health problems, and the house they live in may not be in the best of conditions, but one thing keeps them and our family going. Faith.

                                             My grandma is and always will be my hero.
