Pamela Haist :: essays research papers

I love my grandmother (or whom I call Nana) truly much and I look up to her more than anyone else I know. Shes smart, kind, funny, social, and very out overtaking. I remember one cadence at the mall, when she was move up the down escalator, and she couldnt figure out what was wrong with the boneheaded thing She just kept pass up it, and cursing at it wondering what was wrong. As youve probably guessed, my speech is about Nana, my greatest percentage model.     Pamela Haist was born in March, Cambridgeshire, England on March 19, 1924. Her name at that cartridge holder was Pamela Muriel Bailey. She was raised by her grandmother and uncles until she was about eight years sometime(a) because her father and mother could not afford to keep a fry at that time. According to Mrs. Haist this was quite common in a time before unemployment insurance and social benefits. She was an only child, and raised with very stiff rules. For instance, every night she had to be in bed by half dozen oclock. She had to lie in the bedroom of her two-level house, listening to her stars playing out in the streets until she fell asleep. This continued until she was twelve or thirteen years of age.      disrespect the rules that may have hurt other peoples social skills, Miss Bailey had umpteen friends as a child. She told me of one friend that she remembers quite well(p), her best friend Daphne.      "When I was a young girl," she reflected with a laugh, "I remember us going out one day to play. We were on our bikes, which is how we usually got around, wearable our best Sunday clothes at the time, white frocks with frilly lace. We were walking along the wall of the sewage centre. I said Lets go oer that wall and see whats there. Ill help you all over first. Come on, it will be ever so much fun. So I helped her up over the wall and she landed right in a sewer fill up with muck. I said Ill be right over. Keep on going By the time she came out, her dress (for picture day) was filthy She came up to me the future(a) day and said My mother says Im not to have anything more to do with you. But of course that didnt last five minutes."     Miss Bailey did very well in school with various subjects.
