- An old person that I respect is my grandpa. He died a few months ago because he had cancer. He is honored because even though he had cancer he still had a positive attitude towards everything.

I look up to my dad (he's 51) because he tries to give my family the best he can, he used to be a mechanic for Macallister Co. before he got in a work accident and his hand was cut off, Now he still works but he still works for Macallister Co., just not as a mechanic anymore.

Some one i repect and honor will have to be my mom, my dad and my big brother and sister. I look up to them because my mom trys really hard to watch out for us and so has my dad my parents always wanted the best for me. I look up to my big brother because he protects me from boys and I like that because that shows me that he cares for me and he doesn't want any boy to mess with me in a way I dont want to. Also, I love my brother and he helps me out alot. My big sister hmm... i look up to my bis sister because she also helps me out alot and i know that i get into arguments ALOT with her but I still love her and she is always giving me good edvice and I know that one day my little brother will look up to me.

I choose my grandpa Chuck. For one, he was the principal at gompers for a long time. But the real reason is we always called him the invincible grandpa because, he has been electrocuted out of a manhole, had to jump off a burning lawnmower(while having diabetes), survived an exploding boiler. Also, stepped on a board with a nail and didnt notice it for a few hours. Lastly, he had three heart attacks, and two of them were in the waiting room of the hospital.
