My grandma was the best thing in the world to me. When I was in the Dominican Republic with the other half of the family, she would send us a lot of stuff like clothes, food, and etc. She was old, but she was able to do a lot of things; she worked in a factory, came home and cooked, clean around the house, and many other things. Everyday she would call us and ask how are we. She would tell us when she send the packages and what stuff is for who and for who is not.
My Grandma was really, really special to me and the family. She borrowed money from a lot of people to bring us to the United States. She was able to bring fifteen of us in one flight. She gave the money for our residents, for our visa, and everything else. We never came in first class, but it is amazing how one person would borrow money from other people and spend twenty years in the trying to get us here and being able to. She always wanted the best of us. She wanted us to become some one in life. My grandma was something special.
When we were in the United States, she had already gotten my aunt a job. We got to the house and it was a huge red house, how I always dreamt of having one. The job my aunt got helped pay the rent because my grandma couldn't pay it all by herself. My fourth year here in the U.S. my grandma died. The whole family cried so much. We loved her so much and we still do.
People like my grandma help you reach your American Dream. There's very few people in th world that would do huge things to make you succeed. She's one of the reason why I'm still in school. She always wanted the best of me, and that's what I'm going to be. Even if she's not here, I will make her and my family proud of me. I love my grandma for doing all those great things that got me here, where I stand today.
