"My #1 person"

Her grandmother is her biggest support.

By Haiden Peyketewa from Zuni High School in New Mexico

“The most important person in my life is my grandma, because she never makes me feel like I have to be something great. That she´ll love me no matter what.

I don´t think that I would be me if she was not in my life. She has taught me a lot just by her actions, and those actions are what make me want to be like her. She may be tired, but she is always there for our family. I am always proud of her

She makes me want to do the best in life, and have high achievements for myself ”
