Transcript: One person who is very important to me is my grandma. Although she is my grandma, I have always called her nan. My nan is my dad’s mum. When I was growing up, I would spend all of my summer holidays at my nan’s house. She looked after my brother, my cousins and I for the whole of the holidays while our parents were working. My nan also looked after me when I was poorly. If I fell ill at school, the receptionist would call my nan and she would come and collect me and take me to her home. I would lie on the sofa covered in a blanket while my nan gave me food, lots of liquids to drink and lots of comfort to make me feel better. My nan is an incredibly special person. She is incredibly kind and thoughtful, and is always putting others before herself. As an adult, my nan is an inspiration to me and how I should treat others around me. She truly is one-of-a-kind.
