opening paragraph

A role model to me is not just a person who has qualities which you admire or someone you aspire to be when you grow up. A role model to me is someone who has the strength and determination to wake up each and every morning and after a lifetime of pain, still give the world another chance. My role model is my grandmother Joan Hagan, and everything she does makes me realize just how special she is. My grandmother is eighty-five years of age has been through many ordeals but still keeps pressing forward.
