Laws of Life Outline Mrs. Carillo
Introduction & 1st Body
Who is someone that you admire? List three qualities that you admire about that person.

Admire is a very strong word or meaning. Admire means to regard (an object, quality, or person) with respect or warm approval or to look at with pleasure. I have many people I admire but I think the one that I admire the most is probably my grandmother. My grandmother is currently living in St.Kitts and is 61 years old. In the year of 2008 my grandmother got a stroke which she is recovering from right now. Three qualities that I admire from is that she is strong, never gives up and wants to see me have an education and come out to be something good. My grandmother has a stroke and her whole left part of her body is not moving, and for that I call her strong. Could you imagine yourself not being able to move your whole left part of your body to do anything? Me neither. My grandmother and I are very close, so when I found out that she had a stroke I couldn’t believe it. When I was sick or have a scratch, I use to go to my grandmother. I even use to call her “Bush Doctah” because that’s basically the only thing she uses. Having a stroke or recovering from one is not easy. A stroke, or cerebrovascular accident (CVA), is the rapid loss of brain function due to disturbance in the blood supply to the brain. If you had a stroke, wouldn’t have feel different or weak and can’t do anything? Well not my grandmother she is happy and doesn’t even care about it. She has fun all the time and basically still do what a grandmother do. She doesn’t leave the stroke keep her back of doing what she have to do because she never gives up. Ever since I was going up,

However, everyone deserves to better themselves and overcome any limitation or barrier in their way or holding them back. Being an Occupational Therapist means being patient, encouraging, open-minded, and optimistic. People tend to take things for granted as we get so wrapped up in our surroundings and the people around us. If we all would take a step back and imagined how different our lives would be if we couldn’t eat on our own, get dressed on our own, or even bathe alone. My grandmother, who raised my sisters and I, has endured multiple strokes. Before, she gained back full motion, speech, and occupation through therapy. After her last stroke, about six months ago, she has struggled to gain back her full strength, and…
