Pellegrino Rosella

My nonno, Pellegrino Rosella was the greatest inspiration in my life.  He taught me the importance of appreciating all the small things in life and to work hard to achieve success for myself.  He aspired me to believe that hard work is not hard enough when it comes to achieving dreams.  My nonno worked exceptionally hard for his family; consequently he sacrificed all he had to support his children.   My nonno's courage and determination will always dwell inside of me inspiring me to mature to be just like him.  I wish he was still with me today to help and encourage me as I grow older, to continue guiding me, but I know now he is in Heaven watching over me, so I could not ask for anything more rewarding than that!
