I LOVE MY GRANDMA JO.  SHE IS SO SPECIAL.  SHE TELLS ME THAT I CAN BE AND DO ANYTHING IN THIS WORLD I WANT TO.  I AM SO PROUD OF HER.  I TELL ALL OF MY FRIENDS THAT MY GRANDMA JO IS A USA SENIOR CITIZEN CHAMPION, AND WHEN THEY ASK ME HOW OLD SHE IS, I TELL THEM JUST WHAT MY GRANDMA WOULD SAY, 65 BUT AGE AINT NOTHING BUT A NUMBER. SHE ALSO ENCOURAGES ME TO BE MORE HEALTH CONSCIOUS, LIKE EATING MORE FRUITS AND VEGETABLES ALONG WITH EXERCISING. HERE ARE A FEW WAYS THAT I FEEL ABOUT HAVING A GRANDMOTHER LIKE MINE.

 

HAVING A GRANDMOTHER LIKE GRANDMA JO…

GIVES ME A SENSE OF WHERE I CAME FROM

AND WHAT I STAND FOR.

 

HAVING A GRANDMOTHER LIKE GRANDMA JO…

HAS GIVEN ME MANY HAPPY MEMORIES

OF TIMES WE’VE SHARED.

 

HAVING A GRANDMOTHER LIKE GRANDMA JO…

TAUGHT ME THAT LOVING IS

WHAT FAMILY IS ALL ABOUT.

 

 

I love you grandma jo

I consider JoAnn Sampson to be a very special lady. She is not only a terrific grandmother, but she also is a wonderful athlete. My grandmother participates and competes in the Senior Olympics. She has won several Gold Medals in the 100 meters. Because of her achievements, she is respectfully recognized in our community. I was so thrilled to have seen my grandmother participate in the Dr. Martin Luther King Day parade. She was the Grand Marshall.

 

I am also an athlete. I play Optimist football and Youth baseball. I am inspired to give my best in both sports. My grandmother not only tells me to do my best, she also shows me by example. My grandmother is a retired school teacher and really wants me to do well in school. Consequently, I am a student athlete. I am so proud that JoAnn Sampson is my grandmother.

 

Finally, she helps me with my homework, talks to me when I have problems, and takes care of me when I am sick. I would not trade my grandmother for all the Video Games in the world. Grandma I LOVE YOU forever and for always. Grandma, will you please cook me some of your tasty macaroni and cheese, please? Thank You! I LOVE YOU!
