A WORLD TRAVELER, A SUPER COOL
GUY, AND A GREAT TEACHER!! Archit Sheth-Shah (Grand Son) Age-9 Years/Written for School
You are about to travel through the life of a man who has traveled more than most people ever will. That man's name is Ramanlal C. Shah. He is my dad's dad. He is 74 years old. He lives in Bombay. India with my grandma.
My grandpa is tall and average in weight. He always wears striped shirts with buttons and he wears glasses for reading. His hands are wrinkly. He hardly wears ties, even when he goes for speeches. He doesn't care about fashionable clothing, like me, so he wears old clothes. His face's shape is ovalish. He has black eyes, grey hair and lines on his forehead.
My grandpa was born on December 3, 1926. He was born in Padra, India, which is in West India. His parents were Chimanlal A. Shah and Reva Shah. His childhood game was marbles. He loved to fly kites. His daily chores were to fetch water from the well nearby, sweep the floor and to grind grain to make flour. He didn't earn money; he was given about a nickel's worth on holidays. His life was a lot harder then ours !
My grandpa got super good grades in school. In elementary school he didn't have to wear a uniform but in middle and high he did. He loved school. He excelled in art, writing, literature, and geography. He got to school by riding the bus. He was superb in academics but he also did very well in sports. He was on his school's Table Tennis and Carom teams.
My grandpa found his wife Tara, because they went to the same college. They had two children, Shailaja and Amitabh. His favorite festival is Diwali-the festival of lights. He has not achieved what he wants-to travel to every country in
