My Hero.

My role model is my Giji. Giji taught me that the most important thing for a person to accomplish in his/her life is to be happy regardless of any difficulties you are having at that moment.

During earlier times in Japan while WWII just about started, Giji was born. His family was really poor and they had many kids.They were so poor that sometimes, Giji would have to go a few days without eating anything and striving with only water. Giji was eventually sold to a wealthy family who could not have any kids. They chose Giji because he was the smartest out of his sibilings. After moving with that family, he began to study extensively to relieve his stress and regrets. He was still great at everything he did and what ever he did, he was always the best. He was always number 1 in his Junior High and High School. After highschool, Giji applied for a job at Mistsui ( one of the largest companies on Japan ) amd he got it. He was then required to have at least some college credit so Mitsui sent him to Columbia for a degree. He eventually got a masters degree and transferred to Harvard and got a degree in math and english. After a few years of hard work, he was offered to becoming a manager for all the branches in Mongolia. He didn't accept the promotion though because his wife died and he had to take care of my mom, Shin-chan and Yo-chan.

Giji is my hero and is the most insperational person to me because he is always looking at the up side of things and he always makes me feel better. He always says that as long as I am having fun, then everything will be all right. All though we all know that that is not true, he always makes it so reassuring that you get caught up in the spur of the moment. Like practice makes perfect, hard work becomes great success. Overall, he taught me many insperational things that I carry out to other people. Giji is my hero.

Footnote: Giji is a term that children in Japan use for grandpa. Similar to Mommy or Daddy in english.
