MY GRANDFATHER'S LIFE

My grandfather's name is Abelardo.He was born in Coria del río, 25th December 1928.He had a humble family.His parents had a restaurant called "Bar Mariano".He went to a public school, while he helped them in the restaurant.Next, he finished to study, but some years later, he began to study again.It was because he saw the students who went to the restaurant,and he said:If they can do that, me too, so his father called Juan , talked with the teacher Vicente Neira and he went to the school again.After that , he went to the university to study Medicine, but it wasn't easy for him,because his parents didn't have much money and he had to work to pay it.He studied a lot, and finally he became a doctor.He worked like a doctor in Las Navas, but it isn't all.He wanted to be a dentist, so he studied it in Madrid.When he went to Madrid, he has already got married with Remedios, my grandmother,and he had a daughter, called Carmen(my mum) and a son called Abelardo,too.He stayed there some years.Later, they came back to Coria,where he had another daughter called Toñi, and another son, Francisco.He set up a clinic in Coria, where he worked the next years.

Nowadays, he is 82 years old,so he doesn't work.He has five grandaughters and one grandson.He enjoys all days with us.

I wanted to write about my grandfather's life because he is an important person for me.I admire him because he had a difficult life and he could solve his problems.He has taught me a sentence:If you want, you can.I really love him.
