My great grandmother

   My great grandmother is an amazing person. In the 1950's, during the polio epidemic, which affected children, she became the founder of the first medical department to fight this disease in the region where she lived. She worked very hard and after that, many of her little patients learned how to sit, stand and walk again. They loved her so much that they called her mom. She is now 89 years old and is still working as a consulting pediatric neurologist. There are articles about her in the newspapers. I am really proud of my great grandmother.
