Record a Story: My Grandpa Is Special Board book – April 15, 2011

I think the longest story I remember is "Another April" by Jesse Stewart. This story found a soft place in my heart. I realize that my grandfather is enjoying my life somehow. Grandpa's performance is like an insecure child, "Do not get them, I will not get cold." (37) Grandpa is full of life. He must wait to become a member of the world every year. "Another April" is very encouraging to me. Grandpa can tolerate any difficulties in his years, enjoy just being alive. I think this story will remain in my head for a long time. I think this story is drawing a wonderful theme.

My family is a large group of successful businessmen, scientists and mathematicians. My grandfather is the author of NASA's research pilot Milton O. Thompson, "Space Edge: The X - 15 Flight Plan". My grandfather is a genius. My father is a political science taught by a professor who studied at Claremont graduate college and worked with the former president. My grandfather always dislikes it. The fourth grade I started painting - my grandfather began to take him to his house to learn calculus. He will let me write a note and will explain what I learned after the lecture is over. Everything is in the other ear; how can children understand the limits and derivatives that little know about fractions? My grandfather gave up after three lectures.

My grandfather, Chinese writer, translated for Chinese politicians during a meeting with foreign leaders. Grandpa also translated the book for public welfare. He translated and released the war and peace of Leo Tolstoy and the first Chinese version of Anna Karenina. According to grandpa, one lesson about storytelling is that a good story needs both a hero and a villain. In politics, business and academia there are many examples of heroes and villains key to storytelling. Example: Stanford Business School teaches student's leadership. Professor Joel Peterson is drawn as a hero and teaches leaders how to accomplish that task. Professor Jeffrey Pfeffer is depicted as a villain and teaches how leadership is related to me. This tension between a strong hero and a precious villain created a good story for Stanford.
