I've always wanted to be able to write about horses. In first grade, teachers let us write about our favorite hobbies, athletes, or even our favorite animals, but they basically just wanted us to practice our spelling and grammar skills. They didn't actually care about the content of the undeveloped papers that we wrote, and most of the papers were only five sentences long. Since then, I've always wanted to be able to write a paper about horses and express why they are important and meaningful to me. Most people could care less and may even be scared of them, but I have a strong passion for horses because they allow me to remember my grandmother and how she was before she was sick.
I love my grandmother, and I miss being able to talk to her or learn random things from her. It's hard to see such a wonderful woman suffer everyday of her life. Growing up, I spent most of my time next door at my grandparents' house helping them at the barn. I loved it working with the horses and fixing things with my grandpa. What would seem like work to most people, somehow seemed like fun for me. The memories that I have of my grandmother are connected to horses, so that is why it'd be interesting to me to write about horses and to inspire others while creating a piece of writing that is meaningful to me.
