My grandparents definitely influenced my life a lot.  They would always tell me how good I did in school so what that made me do was keep my effort up so they would keep thinking the same thing.  My grandfather also like sports and so did I so that is when I started playing basketball. He comes to my games all the time and I enjoy playing it.  My grandma is always saying what a good kid I am and she always says I will grow and be successful.  My grandparents are always encouraging me to do more things and play more sports and I like that because they help me live my life as best as I can
