College Fair and many other things that happened on a Monday

First, I want to say thank you to all the veterans that had participated in the several wars the United States had been in all these years. Personally, everyday and every Veterans Day, I honor my Uncle Pop for fighting in the Vitenam War during his time in the United States Army and my Uncle Chester, who has served in United States Air Force several years ago. Secondly, I am very happy that my grandma is feeling much better and started acting like her old self now. She is at Lucy Corrr Village in Chesterfield to regain her strength back so can finish the rest of her appointments so we can she how much she has apporved since the day she got illed. Meaning that if grandma keeps feeling better everday she will be out of Lucy Corr before Thanksgiving; that is would I would call a real blessing. Thirdly, there was a college fair at Richard Bland today and I had to go to see would the selective colleges would offer me when I transfer to one of the selectice college. So far, there was only two colleges that would offer me scholarships and financial aid. The first college that give me good, detailed informantion was Eastern Mennonite University. I kinda of impressed the representative lady for EMU because I she saw hown fast I can write while still showing nice penmanship and told me to come visit EMU in the spring. The next college that offer me the same things as EMU did was Bridgewater College. I really like Bridgewater College because it is a small college and the environment looks really nice.

Fall Break

During the fall break, I did not really do that much on break. On the first day of break, I did some of the essay for Sweeney's class because it is look really hard. So, I try to relax my mind by watching some old television shows like Maude, Sanford and Son, Golden Girls, and All in the Family. While watching those old television shows,some ideas came in my head like the title for my essay which was Getaway from the Witch and Blue Roses Reality Adventures of Tom Wingfield. Then, my grandma got sick on the first day of break so I did my best to take care like making sure she is warm, drinking a lot of fluids, making her food, and taking the right medication. I asked my aunt Theresa for some assistance to take care of grandma. When my mother came home from work, grandma was feeling a little better since I made mash potates for her to keep her strength up. We were waiting for the rain to calm down so my aunt Theresa can go back to her house since I pushed her in her wheelchair because she has problems walking. So after we took my anut back home, grandma started to feel worse again. My mom and I decided to take her to the hospital so we can find out what is wrong with her. After several long hours, we find out that grandma had chest pains, trouble breathing, and terrible ongoing headaches. I know my grandma cna get through all of this because she is a fighter and will always be as I continue to pray for to become well again so she can come back home with me and mom.
