Pamela Haist :: essays research papers

I love my grand beat (or whom I call Nana) very much and I look up to her more than anyone else I know. Shes smart, kind, funny, tender, and very outgoing. I return one time at the mall, when she was base on balls up the down escalator, and she couldnt figure out what was wrong with the duncical thing She just kept walking up it, and cursing at it wondering what was wrong. As youve probably guessed, my speech is about Nana, my greatest role model.     Pamela Haist was born(p) in March, Cambridgeshire, England on March 19, 1924. Her name at that time was Pamela Muriel Bailey. She was raised by her grand puzzle and uncles until she was about eight years old because her father and mother could not afford to keep a child at that time. According to Mrs. Haist this was quite common in a time before unemployment insurance and cordial benefits. She was an only child, and raised with very strict rules. For instance, alwaysy night she had to be in bed by six oclock. S he had to lie in the bedroom of her two-level house, auditory sense to her friends playing out in the streets until she fell asleep. This continued until she was twelve or thirteen years of age.     Despite the rules that may have hurt other peoples social skills, Miss Bailey had many friends as a child. She told me of one friend that she remembers quite well, her best friend Daphne.      "When I was a young girl," she reflected with a laugh, "I remember us going out one day to play. We were on our bikes, which is how we usually got around, wearing our best Sunday clothes at the time, white frocks with frilly lace. We were walking along the wall of the sewage centre. I tell Lets go over that wall and see whats there. Ill help you over first. Come on, it will be ever so much fun. So I helped her up over the wall and she landed right in a sewer filled with muck. I said Ill be right over. Keep on going By the time she came out, her dress (for picture day) was filthy She came up to me the next day and said My mother says Im not to have anything more to do with you. But of course that didnt last five minutes."     Miss Bailey did very well in school with various subjects.
