My Grandma Heather is very special to me. She lives in Milbank, SD. She works at Storm Insurance. She is my Dad’s mom. She is 46 years old and lives with my Grandpa Cody.
My grandma is really strong because she is battling colon cancer. She is tough, strong, and special to me because she is always by my side. She makes up funny jokes. She always jokes around when I win an Old Maid game. I love that we laugh a lot together.
When I’m at Grandma’s house we play CandyLand, Uno, and Old Maid. Grandma sometimes bakes her homemade cookies, and we watch movies. She sometimes makes her homemade brownies too. We have muffins and pancakes, and my brother has cereal. When we watch movies, we usually watch Frozen 1 or Frozen 2.
We go to the swimming pool together and we usually swim for two to three hours. Then we go to her house, and we play Old Maid. When my brother and grandpa are playing catch in the living room, we sit in the kitchen and do crafts. Sometimes we watch a movie after supper when we stay overnight. Then in the middle of the movie we have popcorn.
For all of these reasons, I think my grandma is very special. I look forward to all of the time we spend together. My favorite thing to do with her is watch movies.

My special someone is my sister. My sister is probably one of the coolest people I know. She is always there for me when I don’t know who to talk to. I feel like I could never make it through any problem without her help. She is so funny in any situation. Even in the roughest times in my life, I can’t think of any time she wasn’t there for me. She gives me the best jet-ski rides; better than anyone I know. We always have our moments, but I always know she still loves me. Her smile can light up any room and always does. She is my role model and always will be.
Now that I have shared what makes my sister special, I will talk about some experiences I have had with the best person I know. The countless times we have gone snowmobiling and fallen off the sled to falling off the jet-ski. The list could go on about the small stories. But here are the most memorable ones. A story I can remember is when my sister and I were playing outside and licking ice that froze. While she was licking one her tongue got stuck. We rushed into the house to tell my mom. My mom got it off, but it was pretty funny. Another funny time was when we were playing tennis and she got a ball stuck on the roof. My dad was mad for days after that. The last story I can remember was when me and her were playing in the snow and saw cars coming. We quickly made up a game and it lasted for hours.
As you can se my sister is special for so many reasons inside and out.

I chose my grandpa because he is very special to me and my family. My grandpa is not related to me, but he adopted me. I still have my real parents and my real grandparents, but this grandpa took us in when we moved to America. My grandpa’s name is Doug Bury. He is 74 and was born on April 24, 1948, in Ortonville, Minnesota. I chose him because he chose us when we moved. Now we do everything together. If my parents can’t go to one of by band concerts or other programs, he will always be there. Even if my parents are there, he still comes to watch me.
He takes me everywhere. If he goes somewhere, I go with him. He likes to go camping, and I love it when he takes me with him. Last summer we went to the Grand Canyon. He has taken me camping ever since I was seven years old. My favorite memories with my grandpa are from our camping trip to the Grand Canyon. We went through a lot of campgrounds to get there. Every morning he made his favorite breakfast food called Toad in the Hole. It is eggs cooked in a hole in bread with bacon on the sides. Now it is one of my favorite breakfast foods. He also introduced me to flavored sparkling water, which is my favorite drink now. We also got to bike through every campground we visited. Almost every night we would go out and look at the stars. We both ended up getting lost in the dark.
My grandpa and I like to listen to music and watch funny movies together. We listen to records from his time on my record player, and some of our favorite movies that we have watched are Forrest Gump and Star Wars. We also play a lot of games. He has shown me how to play different games that he played when he was my age. One of the games is called Kick the Can. My grandpa tells the best jokes because he is the funniest guy on planet Earth.
My grandpa is also the kindest man I have ever met. He likes to help me with homework when I need help, but he always says that it is not like how he learned it. He spoils me by giving me anything I want. He has also been a real help to my mom. My mom owns a restaurant, and my grandpa was the one who helped her find a new location for it. Before she cooked and sold food out of our house.
My grandpa was in the Milbank Education Foundation for twenty years, which is an organization that gives out scholarships to high school students. These are just a few reasons why I think my grandpa is the best grandparent in the world! I hope you enjoyed getting to know a little more about him. My grandpa is the best person in the world, but more importantly he is the most important person to me.

For my Someone Special Essay, I chose Mr. J. Graf. Mr. Graf has been my math teacher for two years now. He taught me in 6th and 7th grade. He helped me a lot in math because in elementary school I was getting B’s and C’s and once I got to 6th grade, I was getting all A’s. He was my homeroom teacher in 6th grade, and he knows everything, including science, social studies and reading.
During 6th grade, I wasn’t that smart. I got a low B in Math right away. I didn’t like that and then Mr. Graf showed me Khan Academy. In homeroom I always sat by the whiteboard and used it to do Khan. At the end of the year, I was 94% complete with all the 7th grade Math. I went up 16 points in NWEA. I then got into Pre-Algebra. Right now, I’m in Pre-Algebra and I don’t do Khan and I barely have an A.
Mr. Graf is my assistant coach in basketball right now. He has helped me in a lot of ways. He has helped my team in many ways too. He helped us practice breakaway layups and how to stop them. He always makes me smile by what he says. When I’m sad he boosts my morale. For these reasons, Mr. Graf is my Someone Special.

I’m writing this essay about my special someone – my Grandpa Luke. He is about 56 and I love him. I love him because whenever I’m sad or tired, he always gets excited to do something. He always makes me and my brother food – the best food. Whenever he’s working, he always has a second to play catch with me. I’m never not excited to see him. He is very caring. I was sick and he brought me Chicken Noodle Soup and talked to me for a while. He’s awesome, he deserves the “Best Grandpa” award.
My grandpa cracks me up all the time, like when we were watching football and our team does something dumb; oh, that’s what really gets him going. He is very generous, and he gives all his family $100 for Christmas every year. You could say he’s one of the nicest people I’ve ever met. The best thing ever is my grandpa likes chips so much that my grandma has to literally hide them from him, because if he finds a bag, he’ll eat all of them. Chips are definitely his favorite food. His favorite kinds are Cool Ranch Doritos and barbeque flavored because they are a little spicy. He loves spicy stuff, it’s his favorite!
My grandpa’s hobbies consist of work, fishing, hunting, taking care of me, my brother, my grandma, my dad, and my older brother. He has taken me fishing countless times and he likes to hunt with me. That’s why he’s the best grandpa of all time.
