She used to be terrified of her dad doing this, because she was scared of heights.Crazy right? The amount of trust we have as infants in our parents is kind of crazy to think about, even though we have no idea what's going in that moment. During this time she resolved it by trusting her parents at such a young age, and for them to taking good care of her. ]]> 2023-02-27 00:31:35 UTC https://padlet.com/kmathes41/b4uqj73zrf3evr42/wish/2495611293 kmathes41 https://padlet.com/kmathes41/b4uqj73zrf3evr42/wish/2495615260 My grandma was 3 years old and using the bathroom for the first couple times. She told me she remembered feeling sad and ashamed of herself because she couldn't get it the first couple of times she had tried. She always doubted herself but because of her parents help she was able to do it. ]]> 2023-02-27 00:36:36 UTC https://padlet.com/kmathes41/b4uqj73zrf3evr42/wish/2495615260 kmathes41 https://padlet.com/kmathes41/b4uqj73zrf3evr42/wish/2495617985 Around age 5 my grandma was Kindergarten. She was on a playground running with one of her friends. They were running along side the concrete basketball court, and she fell over a rock. My grandma tripped over her causing her to bust the top of her head open, and she later had to get stitches because of it. She felt so guilty because she felt like it was all her fault. Especially being at that young of an age. Later though she was able to find out she was okay, and that they were still friends. She overcame this by understanding accidents happen. ]]> 2023-02-27 00:40:13 UTC https://padlet.com/kmathes41/b4uqj73zrf3evr42/wish/2495617985 kmathes41 https://padlet.com/kmathes41/b4uqj73zrf3evr42/wish/2495631525 "Children must learn the productive skills". That is exactly what my grandma did. When she was around 6 years of age her mom was very big on planting flowers in their front garden. She always had to help her mom. Though she was never productive with it. She said one day her mom made her stay out there with her for 3 hours to finish all of the gardening to prove it really doesn't take long when you stay productive. Her mom was right, and to this day she is the most productive woman I know. ]]> 2023-02-27 00:58:02 UTC https://padlet.com/kmathes41/b4uqj73zrf3evr42/wish/2495631525 kmathes41 https://padlet.com/kmathes41/b4uqj73zrf3evr42/wish/2495634548 When my grandma was younger, around 15 she didn't play sports, and she didn't really have that many friends because of all the drama girls caused. She always wanted to stay clear of that. One time though one of her best friends decided to stop talking to her the next year they came back to school. She was so confused on why, or what she had done wrong. She later found out her friend had joined the cheer time, meaning that she thought she was too cool to be friends with my grandma. Kind of like how people can be today. She tried her best to be nice and to become friends again with this girl, but the girl would not budge. She later grew apart from her and realized everything happens for a reason. ]]> 2023-02-27 01:02:49 UTC https://padlet.com/kmathes41/b4uqj73zrf3evr42/wish/2495634548 kmathes41 https://padlet.com/kmathes41/b4uqj73zrf3evr42/wish/2495637073 When my grandma was around 18 years old she met her soon to be future husband. At first they hated each other se told me. They actually started talking after a basketball game because students used to ride fan buses to the games with basketball players. She made a mess on the buss, and he helped her clean it up. Later after the game he had asked her out on a date after the game. That's when they started falling in live with each other. I guess it really was love at first sight!]]> 2023-02-27 01:06:57 UTC https://padlet.com/kmathes41/b4uqj73zrf3evr42/wish/2495637073 kmathes41 https://padlet.com/kmathes41/b4uqj73zrf3evr42/wish/2495640670 When my grandma was around 45 most of her grand kids were being born (including me) meaning she had a lot more family connections to make and relationships. She had three kids and most of them have 3 kids. So that's a lot of relationship building. She's always running kids places, and always doing laundry, and make family dinner's for everyone to enjoy. She is a great person when it comes to being generous to others. ]]> 2023-02-27 01:11:58 UTC https://padlet.com/kmathes41/b4uqj73zrf3evr42/wish/2495640670 kmathes41 https://padlet.com/kmathes41/b4uqj73zrf3evr42/wish/2495643343 Now my grandma is 63 and she says she feels at her best. Even though she feels really old, she feels like she's at peace with life, and all that she does for her family. "The most important thing coming of old age is feeling like you've made an impact on those around you." That is exactly what she has done, and will continue to do. ]]> 2023-02-27 01:16:01 UTC https://padlet.com/kmathes41/b4uqj73zrf3evr42/wish/2495643343
