Inspiration Jose Ayala
Throughout my life, I have had many inspirations, but there's one person who I've chosen to honor is my grandpa Jose Ayala. He is a very special and sincere person. Jose’s goal in life was to earn respect and to respect others.
Jose was born in Mexico on October 28, 1945 and now is 71, Jose’s mother named Jose because that is what his grandpa was named. When Jose was a child his future goal was to be a boxer. Ever since Jose was a child he was a strong and hard worker. However, Jose was always being the troublemaker to the adults. When or if you were to ask Jose “who was a special role model” Jose would say that it was his grandpa. He would say that it was his grandpa because his grandpa was the one that taught Jose how to work hard and also taught him how to do things such as farming. Jose is a great friend and grandpa because whenever he meets someone he is always giving others of what he has and is always offering to others around him. Since my grandpa loves to help in his community one of the things that he does is going to the foodbank every Saturday, something that he does at the food bank are bagging up items and also handing out the items.
Jose is known as a very social man because every where he goes he is most likely to talk to the people around him. When my grandpa was little he has loved to start conversations and he also lives to play around with others. Ever since Jose was little, he has been strict about what you do or how you do it. Something that Jose enjoys doing is cooking. One reason Jose is a really good cook is because ever since he was a child he loved to watch his family cook and now that Jose is older he is a very good cook and is always cooking when he can. One thing that I really enjoy eating that Jose makes is hand made tortilla. One special event that Jose and his family celebrate is Empathy Day, which is on January 6. Empathy Day is where Christians all around the world celebrate with their families. Moreover, January 6 is also Joses grandaughters birthday, so Jose celebrates both things on the same day.
However, Jose is one of those guys who absolutely loves to spend time with his whole family. For example one of the days that he likes to hang out with his family is on Sunday because that is the day that he doesn't work. A usual Sunday day for hose is getting up at 6 in the morning and to get ready to go to church, after one hour or so of church hose goes to his daughter's house Adela or goes home because he has planned that his relatives are coming over. Jose is no longer single, he is married to his wife named Maria. Jose and Maria had 7 kids who are Lucy, Bertha, Adela, Lety, Fernando, Hugo, Gorge, and also 2 kids that have passed away.
The reason that I am honoring this person is because I love him and also because he always giving his family gifts and inviting people to his home also because Jose is a very compassionate person that is always encouraging others to try harder.
