Homework: “Emotional Intelligence”

I admire my grandmother for their emotional intelligence.  Her name is Lola, she can used her emotional intelligence to influence of the action of the family. I remember went I was a child I had a fever. My parents want to take me a doctor but I had fear. My grandmothers spoke with my parents and influence them to not take me to the doctor and proposed to give me a natural medicine because i hate the pinprick. This doctor gave me some plants to my fever and everything was all right.

I remember one day two of my uncles fighting for money. This situation was becoming a big problem. My grandmother decided talk to them. One of them said the money was his, and the other said the same. Lola spoken with them and reminded the family and his values. End of day my uncles were reconciled and divided the money, half and half. My grandmother was very happy and to celebrate organized a big family party. I remember that party because all the family was happy. I think the best value that has taught my grandmother is the reconciliation.

On one occasion two of my cousins were fighting for a toy. My grandmother tried convinced but they were still discussing. Both had seven years old. Unable to convince them, decided to use another method. Force my cousins to doing a hundred push-ups. At the end of the day they were so tired they fell asleep and when they awoke they forgot the toy and the problem. My grandmother once again uses their emotional intelligence. I admire my grandmother for their teachings.

My grandmother does not have a college degree, she only finished school. Lola does not write scientific articles. Lola will not be the next Nobel Prize but she's the smartest person I talk. Only she can fix problems without violence, she is a very wise woman. I love my grandmother and the day she dies the world will be a little sad.

My grandmother was my inspiration, they taught me to love God, family and self. That being loving, kind and genteel made you strong, not weak. They taught me to hold my head up high but not be prideful. My grandmothers taught me to be a person and to love my family.
