Grandparent: The reason of my Existence

     The use of the prefix "grand-" dates from the early 13th century, from the Anglo-French graund. The term was used as a translation of Latin magnus. The prefix "great-" represents a direct translation of magnus to English. In Old English, the prefixes ealde- (old) and ieldra- (elder) were used (ealdefæder/-mōdor and ieldrafæder/-mōdor). A great-grandfather was called a þridda fæder (third father), a great-great-grandfather a fēowerða fæder (fourth father), etc.

     Grandparents are the parents of a person's father or mother –paternal or maternal. Every sexually-reproducing creature who is not a genetic chimera has a maximum of four genetic grandparents, eight genetic great-grandparents, sixteen genetic great-great-grandparents, 32 genetic great-great-great-grandparents, 64 genetic great-great-great-great-grandparents, etc., although the numbers will be lower in cases of pedigree collapse. 

     The parents of a grandparent, or the grandparents of a parent, are called the same names as grandparents(grandfather/-mother, grandpa/-ma, granddad/-ma, etc.) with the prefix great- added, with an additional great- added for each additional generation. One's great-grandparent's parents would be "great-great-grandparents".

     To avoid a proliferation of "greats" when discussing genealogical trees, one may also use ordinals instead of multiple "greats"; thus a "great-great-grandfather" would be the "second great-grandfather", and a "great-great-great-grandfather" would be a third great-grandfather, and so on. This system is used by some genealogical websites such as Geni. One may also use cardinal numbers for numbering greats, for example, great-great-great-great-great-great-grandmother becomes 6×-great-grandma.
Individuals who share the same great-grandparents but are not siblings or first cousins are called "second cousins" to each other, as second cousins are the grandchildren of one's grandparent's siblings.

Elementary Days

Ang elementary ay simula ng isang kahanga-hangang paglalakbay sa walang katapusang pag - aaral at pangarap. Taong 2003, nag-aaral na akong maglakbay. Sisimulan ko ito sa unag baitang sa elementarya. Binalak ni ina na ipasok ako sa SPED ngunit kung anong bagay ang pumigil sa akin. Hindi ko binuka ang bibig ko at naging blanko ang isipan ko at dahil dun hindi ako natanggap sa SPED. Ako ay nag-grade 1 sa Alabel Central Elementary School (ACES), mas kilala ang mga mag-aaral nito bilang regular. Totoong nakakapanibago. Sa ACES naging guro ko sa unang baitang si Gng. Gloria S. Dema-ala. Section Dahlia ang aking kinabibilangang pangkat at marami - rami din akong natutunan sa unang exposure ko sa tinatawag na social world. Ang araw ko ay isang routine na nakapattern sa dalawang pang-araw-araw na pagkilos, una ay paggising ng maaga at pag-aaral ng mabuti. Sa unang taon ko sa elementary ay isang karanasang labis kong inaalala dahil maraming tagpo sa grade 1 ko na nakalimutan ko na....
