Describe a man who has made an impact on my life.

This man made an impact on my life. My grandfather made an impact on my life at a young age. He was the father of my mother. He taught me about having a work ethic. When I stayed with him and my grandma I would go to the ranch and feed the horses and we would plant some seeds. We grew corn, watermelon, cantaloupe, honey dew, tomatoes, and chili peppers. He taught me how to make food grow on a ranch. It was hard work, but the end product (the fruit or vegetables) was worth all the trouble.

My time with my grandfather was cut short because of my cousin shooting me in the head. After my injury, I was very tired and had  only one arm and a gimp. I could no longer do the work on the ranch. I was replaced. He eventually passed away, God rest his soul, but he taught me about having a work ethic because everyday we would go to the ranch at the same time, work at the ranch, then come home, which is similar to what I do today. I work some then go home. My grandfather was a big inspiration for me to enjoy work, even if it is hard. I enjoy working. Thank you for reading.
