Final Task

In this essay I plan to tell the story of how I was able to built a relationship with my grandad. This comes out of as the last task every students has to make at the end of the English course. I decide to pick my story with my grandad because it was a very important part of my life. That was a very damage relationship and I though it would be great to tell how I manage to fix it.

My grandfather and i were not close when i was growing up. He was emotionally distant and so was i. I can honestly say that if we ever had a conversation, it would be a simple “hi”.  Growing up I was find with it, I wasn’t the guy who would attach himself to others, even family. But with some time I change, and I valued the importance of having people by your side. I made new friend and my relationship with my family got better, except my relationship with my grandpa. I wanted to repair my relationship with him  because he was my grand pa and I didn’t want to get to point in my life that I would feel regret for not trying. It was difficult to talk to someone that doesn’t want to talk in the first place. I was about to give up, but I decide to go to his workshop and help him. I got to his workshop and asked if he needed some help. He said that I was welcome to help. It was a long and hard day but I got to spend some time with my grandad and we laugh a lot that day.  Working with him became a weekly routine. He would take to do some jobs around the around the country and I would meet a lot of interesting people. Among then were childhood friends of my grandad, they tell me stories of his youth, mostly the big troublemaker his was. My relationship with grandpa was in all time better. One day he call me asking if I was interested in going fishing and I said yes. I never fished in my life. I remember it like it was  yesterday. We were on his boat at highspeed and he let me control the boat. The wind my face was a great feeling . We stop on point close to R.D and he started  teaching me how to fish. I was awful at the beginning, so bad that three fishs escaped. But grandpa keep on teaching and pointing what was I doing wrong.  Then I got a big one. A fish he called “dorado” and it was big with a golden color. My grandpa was proud of my first catch and I was happy  I got to spend so much time with him.

In conclusion, its important to fix the relationships that are damage. Its important because it feel incredible being a part of someone else life. Honestly I wish I fixed my relationship with my grandpa. It would being great, maybe all of those good time could have happen way back when I was a kid. That time is lost now, but I will enjoy the rest with my grandfather.
