BIOGRAPHY:  Roosevelt A. Nixon

My Grandfather is the best.  He cuts my hair, teaches me to be kind to people, but most of all, he taught me to give back to people.  My granddad is a good man.  He told me it was my responsibility to give back.  I gave back by volunteering with my granddad doing "Meals on Wheels".  He takes me to peoples' houses to give them food.  But he also gives them something else I like the most, his wonderful granddad smile and laugh.

It is a good feeling to go to feed people who cannot get out of the house, or who can't get food by themselves.  I also like to sing to the people and make them smile and laugh.  Many of the ladies say that I am cute and adorable.  I like making older people smile because they are all alone.  I know they don't like it either.

I think my grandfather is a King because he helps take care of me and my family.  My dad works all the time, so my granddad teaches me many things.  He is a leader in his church, a volunteer for "Meals on Wheels," and helps people who don't have a car get food.  He is a role model and reminds me to pray.  My granddad is a superhero.  He has awards for all kinds of sports and is great.  I am truly blessed to be the Prince to King Roosevelt A. Nixon, son of William and Lillian Nixon, and granddad to me.
