Writing skills practice: Someone I admire – text

My Aunt

Hard work was part of my life, but still she is smiling all the time I've seen her. My mother's sister and
my aunt are the person who I admire the most. Her life can be a good example of a person who has
suffered a lot, but never asked for help as asking for help was symbol of weakness for her. I know her
since I was born, but I've understood her during last three or four weeks. She always advices me and
her daughter that "Don't feel helpless in life and try to live your life in a way that people who are
related to you can remember you with pride and respect.".
My aunt lives in India. She is a typical Indian woman and she said that she has always wanted
to be what she is. She always wears "sari" or "Salwar" which are Indian traditional clothes. She is
religious too. She always tells us history of our religion. The thing which I like the most about her is
whenever she gives us advise she always told us "That's what I think that doesn't mean that you also
agree with me". My uncle was a hardworking person and he also respects her a lot. She lives in a house
which is small, but the way she has decorated it is amazing. She has the grate gift of creativeness. She
has made lots of paintings and has decorated lots of pots to decorate her living room.
She has always tried to be as simple as she can and has spent less money as her financial status
isn't so good. She wasn't even able to pay the phone bill so they discontinued using phone. She tried
to earn some money from mending people's clothes, so she could help my uncle. My mom had tried to
offer her financial help, but she didn't take it. She told my mom that she appreciated that my mom
cared for her, but her self-respect wasn't allowing her to take help. She never told her pain and
suffering to anyone. She always said that life is not as easy as we think and if we are having bad times,
we surely will have good times because they are two sides of coin which can never be separated.
