oops, this is my 7th post. I guess i can't count. :P

My grandfather is very family oriented. He loves a good home cooked meal with the family. Since he is Italian, I thought it would be appropriate to put some spaghetti on here. He loves it, and my mother even makes the homemade sauce. 

7th journal entryyyyy

My grandfather has a passion for his country. He was in World War II but didn't actually make it over there. He did stay in the States and what not though. He watches the news everyday, and sees all the soldiers who's lives have been taken from them. He can't stand to see people lose their lives for nonsense.

Fifth journal entry

Another thing about my grandfather was that he was Transportation Supervisor for a school bus company. Not only did he drive the buses, but he got up early during snow\ice storms to check the roads to see if school should be closed, did background checks on the new bus drivers, and took kids home who missed their bus, or didn't have a ride home. He is well known around town, for not only this, but for being a judge also. He is a kind man, and is very respected.

Fourth Entry

So, my grandfather was a judge for our little town. He never had to handle big cases, it was more along the lines of tickets, drug charges, and what not. I always admired that about him. He had to the courage to deal with criminals. Their future were in their hands sometimes, when it came down to the decision whether or not they were going to be put in jail. I remember being little, and sitting on the stairs of my grandfathers basement, while he had to meet with the cops and a suspect. He must have been determining whether or not this person should be put in jail or not. It was always kind of frightening, because there was a criminal in his house, and they new where he lived. That scared me a bit. But, to have the courage to stand up to criminals, and have to make decisions whether or not this person was guilty or not? That is amazing, I think. ANOTHER reason why this man is amazing, strong and determined.

Third Entry

So, I know I haven’t been posting much on here lately. But, to be completely honest, I’m not sure what I should actually be writing on here.  I want to write things that will be useful for my paper, but I’m not finding anything. Maybe I just need to look harder. Anyway, here is my third post.

                My grandfather means the world to me. Words cannot describe how much I love this man. He is my role model, because is incredibly strong and determined.  When things get tough, he keeps on going. The movie The Notebook based on the book by Nicholas Sparks is pretty much the story of my grandparents.  I can’t watch that movie, without thinking about my grandfather, and how is exactly like the man in the movie. He doesn’t give up when his wife doesn’t remember him. He is determined to stick by her side forever.
