Profile of Courage

My grandpa Lloyd Ditty was born August, 7, 1929 he and his wife my grandma Naomi Ditty had a total of 6 children. He lived on a farm when he was growing up he helped his dad take care of the animals. Lloyd met Naomi at a young age somewhere around 15 he would also help the Hittle family (my grandmas family) take care of their farm. He graduated from school he shortly after joined the military and was in the Army Special Forces. I nominated my grandpa for my person of honor because he was one of the people that went into the nest where Hitler was at and one of the people that had to go in after him. I also chose my grandpa because I want to be in the Army Special Forces like he was. This was my courageous person because he could have lost his life if he would have made one mistake while going into Hitler’s hideout.

Other people can learn many things from my person of honor. Some of the things that can learn are to work for your money and not take other people’s money like it was your own. You could learn this off of my grandpa Lloyd because he was a hard worker until he was 70 years old and he never asked for anything from anybody, even if times were tough. Another thing other people can learn from my grandpa was that if you work hard it will pay off. You could learn this from my grandpa because he worked 7 days a week for a long time and had everything paid off so he was never in debt. I have learned many things from my grandpa. Some of the things are not being serious all the time, and always have fun. This was important to me it makes me who I am today. This was important to me because I do exactly what he says now and he was my hero. This is why I chose my grandpa as my honorable person.

    Numerous individuals put their life at danger during the holocaust. A large number of them had done diverse things in various approaches to attempt to help numerous European Jews throughout the holocaust. Out of many other individuals, I think Irene Opdyke merits this Award as she had put her life at risk. Irene was a polish catholic nurse who had joined the underground. The underground was a group or movement organized secretly to work against an extreme regime. The holocaust was a period where a large number of jews were fiercely slaughtered by the nazis amid the World War II. It was a genocide in which roughly 6 million jews were executed by Hitler. I believe Irene should win this award because not only did she risk her life but she had saved 12 jews. Irene and many others had done so much throughout the holocaust but Irene's story had caught my eye the most.…

    Both my grandfather and great-grandfather proudly served. Sam Patterson, my great-grandfather, is a WWII veteran who served in the Navy for many years. James Patterson, my grandfather, followed his father’s footsteps and served in the Army during the Vietnam War. Both are disabled vets whose commitments to serve our country and the rigor this service demanded on their physical, psychological, emotional and spiritual levels are what fueled my desire to serve my peers in various capacities. My other grandfather, Herbert Owenby, was a gifted athlete who participated in two varsity sports at the collegiate level. People tell me that I get my athleticism from him. I think he actually molded me into the person I am today. He once told me the most important thing I could do in life was not to excel in sports but to be the best person I could be and help others when they needed help. He never got to see me win a national title, a state title, or even participate in a high school sport. But I know nothing would make him prouder of me than being the best person I can be and helping those along the way. He was given the opportunity to attend Boys State in 1963; an opportunity that probably helped shape him into the man he became. All three grandfathers taught me to lead by example while being…

    One of many important roles that my mom plays in my life is that of a teacher and counselor. She has taught, and still teaches, about life and anything right and wrong in the world. An example would be that no matter how complicated something can get, never give up and walk away after the first try. Dale Carnegie, a famous writer and lecturer, once said; “Most of the things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.” (Walter 1) Another would be just because you see someone do something that seems bad, but does not get in trouble, do not…

    My grandmother displays excellent leadership qualities in her friendships, business relationships, and associative relationships. She has a charisma that makes others feel better about themselves, making it easy for people to put their trust and her and look up to her. Anything that my grandmother commits herself to, she will see it out to the end. She’s a person that is persistent in achieving the goals she set without be conniving or deceiving, my grandmother believes that doing something the right way is the only way to do it. She always uses the phrase, “If you use shortcuts in life you will get cut short”. That phrase has stuck with me until this day and so have the morals and values she’s instilled in me. When I feel like things are caving in around me and I can no longer go forward or excel in things I’m doing it, I call my grandmother for support and inspiration. She always makes me feel like giving up isn’t an option. She also has taught me to not treat all people with kindness and respect, even people who has tried and tried to throw obstacles on my pathway to success. I believe for a person to treat people with something they have never treated them with takes a lot of humbleness and lack of pride.…
