Once Upon A Time...

There have been many instances in my life that have shaped who I am, but one in particular is from when I was about 10 or 11. I was at my Grandma's house one day, and I started looking through all the books she had, and came across a book of Grimm's Fairy Tales. I love fairy tales so I asked my Grandma to borrow the book, and she being the wonderful person she is, said of course. I opened the front cover and found that the book belonged to my Grandpa (who passed away when I was 4 so I have little to no memory of him). I was immediately happy to have found a piece of him, but what I did not count on, was finding ideas for stories written out on the back cover. Finding this was like finding a message from my Grandpa saying, never be afraid to let your imagination soar. From the date on the front cover, it seemed like my Grandpa received this book well into his adult years, yet was still writing things. It inspired me to always be creative and always use my imagination no matter how old I am.
