I think my grandpa Ron Shomion should be the SD A.A.R.P. Grandparent of the Year. Here are three reasons my grandpa should be the winner this year. First one he served to defend our country. Second is he comes to our events and encourages us to do new things. The last one is the best reason he give us all of his love but doesn’t shower us with gift or other thing.
Ron served in the Vietnam War and he risked his life for our freedom. I think he was very brave to risk his life for all of ours. He was in the Army and I think it was very hard for him so I am thankful he is still alive. My grandpa didn’t like the Army he told me but he said he would rather die serving in the Army and helping America that die from old age and do nothing. That’s what I think being in the Army is actual about instead of just being in it to kill bad guys.
My grandpa comes to his grandchildren events and encourages us to do new things. Ron will come and tell what to do and how to do it the right way. He may not make it to all of our events but he will call and ask how we are doing and ask if we need help with something. Grandpa is always telling us to try new things and if we don’t like it try something else. I tried wrestling because he told me to and I really like it now.
We know he loves us and why he doesn’t shower us with gifts and other things. He will take us places and he may not buy us what we want but that’s good with me. For holidays he may not buy us big toy and get us everything we want but that’s okay. I know he will take me places when I get older. Hopefully he keeps treating us this way because I know it is the best that we don’t get spoiled by him.
There are many reasons why I think my grandpa should be the SD A.A.R.P. grandparent of the year. The three reasons that I gave to you is why I think he should win this year. He served and fought in the army, he comes to our events and encourages to do new things, and last he love us but does not shower us with gifts and other things. You should choose my grandpa to be the winner.
