Mrs. B's Critical Thinker essay

Critical Thinker; My Grandmother

            Murlie Griggs Blan, my grandmother has been the biggest influence in my life. This lady has the heart of a lion and the determination too. Whenever I need advice, I run straight to her, because she’s not judging and she always helps, and makes everything more understandable and she is to me the best critical thinker I know.

            A certain topic we always have a discussion about his men. My grandmother has been married twice, and even though her love life hasn’t been successful, she still believes that love is out there. I always have problem with finding the right one for myself, and when talking to her she ask questions about myself and problem and then problems I find in the men I go for. She is filled with this old fashion knowledge of men, and she defines them and put them in better terms for me to understand in the era of time.  Sometimes I don’t like talking to he cause she has this ability to know and tell me when I am wrong. Its not like she says it mean. I just cant stand to hear that, but that’s just because I am vey stubborn.

            When ever there’s a problem with a family member whether its health or etc. we always ask for my grandmother’s advice or help. She can come up with several different outcomes and possibilities. In my family certain conversations can get very heated and we all get very passionate about our opinions. She can make any kind of heated conversation  into a resolvable and agreeable conversation. For example we had a situation with my aunt and her child’s father whether the kids were going to school with their mother and spend the summer with their father. My aunt refused for the child to leave her for 3 months but when my grandma stepped right in and gave my aunt certain options and also pointed out that it was wrong for her to be selfish and to let the child go the summer. Although my aunt never liked the ending solution, it was in its best to do that, instead of going to court or any other nonsense that was not needed. Overall the child was able to enjoy a great school year and enjoy a fun filled summer.

            My grandmother is just an prime example of critical thinking and she’s very important to my family. I know everyone has that same feeling about their family members, but my grandmother is more then these words could ever explain. She’s everything I wish and hope to be. Very open minded, well knowledgeable and informing. If you ever need someone to talk to , who can help you and make everything seem better, my grandmother is one of the best people to talk to. I can lend her out to you for a moment, but I’ll need her back, because with out her my family could not function properly. There would be ciaos and uncertainty everywhere.
