The person I admire the most The person I admire the most is my granddad. I admire my granddad because he is a generous, loving, caring, and kind person and will give anything to help someone. My granddad is a generous person because he gives more than he gets. I remember one day when we were driving back to his house we saw a homeless person on the side of the road; my granddad felt bad so he picked up the person and took her out to eat then took her to a shelter. When I saw what my granddad did I remember saying I want to be like that, I want to be as generous as my granddad. I admire my granddad because I remember when my great granddad started to become sick and my granddad took him in after his other sibling stopped taking care of him. My great granddad lived with my grandparents for a year and a half before he passed away. But my granddad did everything for him my granddad took care of him so well even though it was hard. My granddad is the most caring person in the world to me he takes care of people when other people won’t because he cares.

My granddad is a loving person because he loves everyone (especially me). Even if it is tough love, love is love. And I know my granddad loves me both ways because when I do something wrong he expresses it but I know it’s because he loves me and he doesn’t want me doing wrong. My granddad loves me and I love him and that’s all that matters. When I was born my mom was still in college so it was hard for her to take care of me when she had a job and had school so my granddad took care of me most of the time even though he didn’t have to. He could've just sat there and watched my mom struggle as she juggled her crazy life. But no my granddad decided to help my mom as she took care of me and I thank him for that because who knew where me and my mom would be right now. In conclusion I admire my granddad because he does so much for people and me wheather he knows them or not, loves them or not. He doesn’t care all he cares about is helping someone.

====Picture yourself being one of six players on a rectangular size court. Scrambling, diving and slamming on the floor,just to keep the ball from hitting the floor. Imagine playing a sport of nonstop motion, having the opportunity to be a setter, hitter, server, or even the libero. The sport is volleyball.==== The game of volleyball is a team sport including of six people the positions consist of a setter, middle hitter, middle back, outside hitter, defensive left back, and defensive right back. The setter usually sets the second ball out of the three times you can touch the ball. Setting the ball is an overhead pass to the hitter. When setting the ball you use both hands. The responsibility of the middle and outside hitters is to spike the third touch over the net to the other side. A spike, kill, or hit is when you slam the ball down on the other side. Spiking can be similar to dunking a basketball into the hoop. The middle back, and defensive left and right back pass the serve up to the setter. Passing the ball is when your forearms make contact with the ball. In volleyball you rotate (move one spot left) and once you get in the defensive right back you serve the ball. Serving a volleyball is when you can overhand serve or underhand serve. An underhand serve is usually beginner; serving underhand is just like passing a ball but with just one hand. An overhand serve is when you toss the ball up with your opposite hitting hand and you hit the ball with your hitting hand. Volleyball was invented by William Morgan in 1865; Morgan was at his Holyoke, Massachusetts gymnasium when he came up with this amazing idea of volleyball. Morgan came up with the idea of volleyball by including other sports such as baseball, handball, and tennis. Morgan wanted to develop teamwork while getting exercise. Morgan designed this sport on a rectanglar size shape with tweleve total people six on each side of the court. With a seven foot four inche net separating the court in half. There are two line judges on opposite sides of the court, these people decided if the ball was inbound or outbound.There are two referees on ladders on each sides of the net. Thanks to Morgan he has created the second most popular game in the U.S. The creator of beach volleyball is not the same creator as volleyball. Beach volleyball started in California and was often played on the beach. Groups of people would make teams and enjoy the game for fun. Soon beach volleyball became competitive. At first the same rules were used for inside and outside volleyball. Before long beach volleyball created a separate league with its own rules. In beach volleyball players wear bathing suits, also players often wear sunglasses or visors to protect their eyes from the sun. Beach volleyball is usually played by women but men know how to play this game as well. = = = References =
