My grandmother raised me and our relationship is written on my track, “Die for You to Live”. I presently reside in San Antonio, Texas where I write and record my life story. My plan is to provide scholarships, in honor of my grandmother, to students in my hometown who desire to attend college but do not have the financial resources. These students will be required to write a three page essay on why the elderly are important to our community. While my grandmother is no longer with me on earth she remains my deepest love, she was my best friend, and my biggest supporter, regardless, of how good or how bad. Thank you grandma!
