My granny

My granny’s name is Schennikova Svetlana Konstantinovna.
She was born on the 1st of January 1954.

She went to the rural school and left it after 10 years of education.
At school granny was a very creative and active pupil.

She took part in sports competitions, enjoyed painting and was a member of a music group.

After finishing school, she went to the pedagogical college. At the age of 21 my granny became a teacher in the kindergarden. She really loved kids . That’s why, I think, she enjoyed her job.

However, she decided to get another education and went to the medical college. After she had educated for 5 years there, she became a nurse. At that time she was 25.

At the age of 26, ma granny met my grandad and some time late they decided to get married. I think they are a very good couple because they love each other and support in any situation.

In 1975 my granny gave a birth to a son and in 1979 to a daughter. They are my mother and uncle.

They live in their own house which is big enough. They have good living conditions there. Also, there is a big area around the house and two garages in front of the it. They have an apiary and a lot of beds in the garden.
There was a time when my grandparents had pigs, cows and even geese. Now they have just some chickens, cocks and a dog.

At the age of 55 my granny became a pensioner. She receives a state pension and invalidity pension every month.
Nevertheless, the pension is very low and my granny decided to continue working. Now she works as a chemist in the boiler house.

As for privileges, my granny can get milk in low price and she has the right to return some money from buying medicines.

In spite oh living in their own house, my grandparents have problems.
First of all, it is necessary to say about health problems.
Secondly, the cost of electricity is very high.
By the way, the basement is flooded by water sometimes.
And the quality of drinking water is very bad too but there is no possibility to deliver it from the town.

Despite all these facts, my grandparents are very positive and patient people. They can deal with any problem thanks to the help of children and grandchildren.
And no matter what, my granny is very kind-hearted and understanding.
She likes spending her free time in the garden with flowers and watching films in the evenings.

I remember a lot of funny stories which are connected with my granny. I try to visit her every week and spend time together as much as it possible. I am really happy that she is MY granny and I love her very much!
