Section Four

If I chose to dedicate a bench to someone else, I would probably get one for my grandmother. She is strong woman who has always stood up for what she believes in. We share a stubborn streak, which over the years has drawn us closer together. She grew up in tough times, and has worked hard her entire life to provide for us, her family. I think that dedicating a bench to her would be a wonderful way to give back. She enjoys going for walks along Victoria Park, where her apartment used to be, so I think that we would give her a bench by the war memorial. Having it near the memorial would symbolize the struggles she has had to face during her life. The beauty of the park, however, would show the happiness and peace she now has. “To a strong woman, honest, and kind”, it would say, emphasizing her values and soul. I would dedicate the bench to her before she died, so that she could sit on it and enjoy it. Once she passed away, the bench would still be there to remind others of her beautiful spirit.
