Inspiration in my life/who i look up to
My grandpa Johnny Sawyers
Ethan Seal
My story goes back to my childhood where all I can remember for the most part is being outside or doing something to get me in trouble. My bestfriend would always come over to see me and play. I’ve been friends with this guy for a while and were still best friends to this day. He is a little bit older than me but i don’t really care about that.

My papa is a very well respected person where he lives, and he is friends with everyone. He has people over all the time bringing food to his house just so they can

sit down and talk to him about anything and he’s not gonna care unless you make sure to bring something to eat. He gave all of the grandchildren a nickname when we were born and mine was buddy buddy. Everytime I see him he say’s “Ethan youre my buddy buddy ain’t yah?” And I reply with yes I am papa. I love going over to my grandparents house at night because they always play card games and my
