Leader Blog for English Comp 201

The person as a leader and human being that I choose is my grandma Elaine. She passed away almost 6 years ago with ovarian cancer and she was my best friend. She was like my mother growing up, always baking with me, helping with homework, letting me ride the bus to her house after school, and learning the finer details in life. She was such a great person by leading in Christian Women's Group, bible study, helping out neighbors, and just being the best person she can be. She didn't quit for nothing, even up till the end, I remember her trying to get out of the hospital bed saying that there was still chores to do and bills to pay. It is still hard to think about my grandmother and know that she is gone. I looked up to her, she was my hero...and to this day I still want to be like her. Probably the best song to fit her is called "My Angel" by Kellie Pickle:
Every day when school got outI'd get off the bus and I'd run down That old dirt road where you were waiting for meOn the front porch in that blue swing You'd be smiling and we would sing'Amazing Grace' and 'Jesus Loves Me' You were like my mother You were my best friend You were everything I want to be And all the good inside of me There's never been Never been another That loved me like you did My grandmother, my angel Even though I can't touch your face I feel you with me every day I wish you could see all my dreams coming true When I get lost I close my eyes And I feel you shining down so bright I feel you shining down on me You were like my mother You were my best friend You were everything I want to be And all the good inside of me There's never been Never been another That loved me like you did My grandmother, my angel You were like my mother You were my best friend You were everything I want to be And all the good inside of me There's never been Never been another That loved me like you did My grandmother, my angel My angel
