The most important person in my life is my grandfather. Every time I go to my grandpa’s home, he always says “Study hard.”. When I was young. I was not sure what it meant. I thought it just meant putting a book on the table, sitting in front of table and reading it.
My grandpa graduated from Normal University. At that time, it was very difficult to get into college, and there were not many colleges. He not only graduated from college but also traveled to Japan for further studies. After he come back to Taiwan, he became a teacher teaching in high school.
At my grandpa’s home, he always stayed in his study and sometimes came out to see what I was doing. If I was playing, he would say “Go to study.” ; I f I was studying, he would keep quiet and walk away.
I always had a question in my mind “What did he do in his study?” One day, I tiptoed slowly opening the door of the study to take a look. Amazingly our eyes met. But I was not surprised by that. It was because he was studying, too.
Since he is old and his eyesights is too poor to read. Why did he still study? Then he wanted me sit beside him and said “Books teach me a lot and I get a lot of fun from them. No matter who you are, you still can get things from them. I enjoyed them, and I hope you can also have fun.
And now, he is very sick. When he goes home, he still doesn’t comfortably in front of TV, he still goes to his study.
