A Legacy
“My family and I, we wanted to wait until we could tell him in person. So we told him a couple of days after. And so my whole family got together, and we all went to his house. He was so confused at first. He kind of knew that something was up,” Danielle shared in an interview with GMA.
“It was a school that I had interviewed for. And I was kind of waiting for it. He had a hint, but he was over the moon. He still calls me about it like every single day,” she said.
Her grandpa is an inspiration to their family, especially to Danielle. Even though he didn’t force any of them to pursue med school, he was hoping that someone would continue the legacy.
