My grandparents had a very big house and everyone was welcome. There was always something cooking so thats how we were able to bring our family together. Through food

A lot of my family is very sickly, especially my grandmother. She's had to overcome many obstacles when it came to her health. Her and my family were willing to go from St. John Parish, Louisiana, to Houston, Texas just for her treatment. Which shows her self-determination to continue to be with her family.

My grandmother would always cook traditional food for my mother and her siblings as well as others in the neighborhood. She instilled character traits of unity and togetherness in our family.

My grandfather was often sick and my grandmother would always be there to assist him and show emotional support.

My grandfather and grandmother were, and still are such generous people. They were known for their kind and giving actions and continuous support towards family members and people they didn't know personally. They often put others before themselves and loved to see people happy.

My grandfather obtained a Bachelor's degree in business and became a successful businessman. He opened a factory in Eritrea to provide shoes for the people and created a car glass agency in Ethiopia. He travelled back and forth from East Africa to Saudia Arabia, which is where his family lived. My grandmother bought supplies from Saudia Arabia and sold it to stores in Eritrea because there was always a shortage of resources. The money she would make would go towards less fortunate people.

I believe their purpose was to help people and raise their kids with morality and character. They encouraged their kids to acquire an education and fulfill their dreams.

My grandmother expressed her art through sewing clothes, decorations around the house, knitting, and embroidery. My grandfather loved reading and expanding his knowledge and he was also very health-orientated.

Faith was practiced through our religion of Islam. We still continue rituals of daily prayer, fasting during the month of Ramadan, pilgrimage to Mecca, and giving charity.

My family would go to the small parish church together every Sunday. My grandma would get all dressed and my grandpa would play keyboard for the Church band.

My grandma feels that her purpose is to be there for her family and make sure everyone is well taken care of before she dies. She definitely fulfills this purpose as she makes all of us so happy :)

My grandparents always show'd the most creativity when it came to Christmas. My whole family would always come to their house for the holidays because it was always so beautifully decorated and there was always the best food. So they were always creative in their ways of keeping the holidays so lively.

After my great grandma had passed my family still tried to come together if not all some.

# data[].attributes.body
My Grandparents were very loving and kind people, I don't have a picture of them, but the dove is a symbol of love.

# data[].attributes.body
My Grandparents would invite a bunch of family and friends for a cookout, these were small get together or big parties at times. They would often make soul food so things like greens, candied yams, and fried chicken were a staple for these events.

My whole family have been Christians for as long we can remember, my grandmother and grandfather are no different, they would attend church every Sunday, nd my Grandfather was able to start two churches of his own to get more people to go to church.

# data[].attributes.body
My Grandfather felt that it was his purpose to be an inspiration to people not only to his daughter, but other people that he is close too, and it seems that he has fulfilled that purpose as many people recalled the times where my grandfather helped them at their worst in his funeral.

I don't know much about familial work but I know that a lot of my family have been musicians. My grandfather would often play music with my other family members in church. Yet I do know that my Dad, grandpa, and uncle all do construction and electrician work which has come in handy with Hurricane Katrina and more recently Hurricane Ida

It is everyone's responsibility as a family to check in with each other and make sure everyone is well cared for. Its also everyone's collective responsibility to make sure that the younger kids in the family is cared for (ex: everyone is there to help my sister care for her newborn)

# data[].attributes.body
My grandparents mainly used to cook and invite the family over for a get together. Through food, they found a way to bring the family together so that everyone could have a good time.

About 15 years ago, my grandpa was very sick and eventually passed way. While he was still alive, my grandma did her best to take care of him during his last days. My grandma also demonstrated self-determination by keeping her head up while facing the obstacle of grief.

My grandparents were always know for their care. They continuously supported the people they cared about whenever they could and checked up on us constantly.

# data[].attributes.body
I don't really know much about what my Grandpa did since he died when I was 2. When it comes to my Grandma, she currently does in home care and takes care of the elderly.

# data[].attributes.body
My grandparent's overall purpose was to make sure everybody is successful in our family by giving their support and checking up on us. They definitely fulfilled their purpose, as they raised both their own children and grandchildren very well.

To this day, my family does to an AME church every Sunday to praise and give thanks to Jesus. Everyone in out family know the lord's prayer, so that everyday we can lift each other up . Through the good and bad times, my family maintains faith in the lord, for we know that he will solve our problems.

My grandmother's creativity always came from the food she made for us. Whenever she can, she makes to bring whatever she cooked and we would enjoy.

My grandfather started 2 churches in North Carolina, although I don't know to many details about them, I do know that they both were pretty popular with the people there.

# data[].attributes.body
My Grandparents always wanted to be an inspiration to their children and other people around them so they would often help people in any way they could where ever they were.

# data[].attributes.body
My Grandparents like to sing to express themselves. Music is a pretty big part of my family so we would try to do something that involves it whether it was playing an instrument or singing a song.

# data[].attributes.body
Due to complications within their marriage, my grandmother was unable to marry my grandfather and was a single mother which is a very difficult situation to be in.
