My paranormal story

My grandfather was born in 1943 in downtown Monterrey. Back in the day, houses used to be really big so after my great grandfather died, my great grandmother decided to split the house in two and rent   the other half. Shortly after, a family move into the house and the first impression my grandfather had about them was not the best. They were a young couple with a young daughter and my grandfather says that the girl was a little creepy. She was a more reserved kind of girl and for the 5 years that they lived there, they never really bonded even though they were both 6 years old. One morning the girl got really sick and died in her own room, obviosuly the parents were devastated and they left the house immediately. Shortly after they moved out, my grandfather was asked by grandmother to help her clean the house for the next renters. When they got there, the house was empty obviously, but there was a very odd thing at the girl's room: a gun safe. This gun safe was really tall and a young kid like him could fit perfectly in it. He was really interested in the mechanics, so he instantly went to play with the gears . He went over the house to play with the safe everyday since, and he would get more and more interested each time. Until one time, things were different, he went over the house as usual but by the time he got there he decided he wanted to get inside without closing the door completely. He got inside and left a small gap for him to be able to move the hinge, but he was not scared to get locked in because the only way for the safe to close was to move the hinge all the way to the way to the top. While he was playing inside the safe box, he suddenly heard a "click" and when he tried to push back the door he was trapped. While he was freaking out he realized that in order to think what to do next he had to relax. After he calmed down he started moving the gears just the way he had for so many times, and it just turns he remembered way too well because he was able to unlock the door from the inside. After he got out he realized that the house was empty and up to this day he does not know how the hinge moved all the way to the top.

Reflection: The Blind Side

"The Blind Side" is a movie based on a true story that was written by John Lee Hancock. This movie is a perfect example of how a person can change their perspective about life in just a second. Sandra Bullock who plays the mother in the movie, was showed at the beginning of the movie as a successful, high class woman. She barely seems like someone who would be interested in helping a homeless black student from their children's school. But when she first helped Michael, everything seemed to change within her. She was instantly happy and you could easily see how helping others had changed her. She not only gave Michael a home, food and clothes but also she gave him something far more valuable: love. She welcomed him into her house with open arms and did everything in her power to make him feel comfortable, she even became his legal guardian.
She hanged out with the typical rich, vain and arrogant friends, but it was not until Michael had been in her life long enough that she was able to realize that she was no like them. Yes she might still be a little like them, but the most important thing she does not share with them is: empathy. This is a perfect example of how people can get to see things differently once they have experienced something out of their comfort zone, and the best way of doing that is by putting ourselves in someone else's shoes. In this movie she shows us a very different and modern side of motherhood, she uses compassion and love to solve her problems and I think that Michael was the one who brought out that side of her. In this movie we can learn that determination, love, empathy and honesty can pretty much overcome every issue life might present us.The Blind Side, both inspires and gives hope to all who aspire to overcome life’s challenges and reach for their dreams.
