3rd themed post: A person you admire

Hi all!
this week's post is about the person you admire.
It's a difficult topic because sometimes you admire more than one person. Personally it was hard to choose, but I'm going to write about the first person that came to my mind when I thought about it: my grandma.

My grandma with her grandchildren

Rosa Pacheco was the name of my grandma on my mother's side, she was born in Santiago in 1901, and when she was a girl she lived in Buin. Her mom was a teacher and her dad a businessman. In those times being a woman and having a profession was unusual, so I think my grandma was influenced by her mother who was the principal of a school for ladies; sadly her mother died when she was a girl and she lived with her dad until she was old enough. When she was around twenty she received an inheritance and bought a piano, and at the same time she started to study at Conversatorio de Musica (currently Universidad de Chile) to become a concert pianist, and she did it. She studied many years, and postponed marriage and children (she was ahead of her time). She played in some theathres and got married in her middle 30's, she had 3 children but continued working as a teacher for some rich people (like children of diplomatics), because she never liked the idea of being a housewife. Along with the piano she loved to read, and she was a quiet and relaxed woman. I think for me and my cousins she is our role model, because she taught us that we shouldn't do what we are supposed to do, and also the love for books and music.
