Unforgettable Jimma (Grandpa)

I have always looked up to the ones that are older than me because they know best. One of the people that I admire the most is my grandpa. He is my motivation, inspiration, my ”ride-or-die” pops. Grandpa was a hardworking man. Every day when I come home from school, he’d be doing something; he would write songs or read the bible and make sermons. He would go from houses to houses and teaches other Marshallese people about the culture, and why is it important for us; teaches other respect our “iroij” chiefs when they come to their homes. And he loves to tell legendary stories. He was a teacher in a Ebeye Christian School as a music and a bible teacher. I would say he accomplished everything he had done during his time. Today his songs are sung by Christians at churches, his students honored him for his teachings, and people from his home town missed him. He was a man anybody would want to become; a talented man. As to compare him to all the jimmas' here in Majuro there is no difference, grandpa are always loving and caring hardworking men; family is their first priority.
