I just finished writing an essay on someone who is a leader in my life and i chose my grandma. I have been writing all day and suddenly have hit a wall. I have everything done except a conclusion. Would anybody be able to come up with a good conclusion?? I just want to say how my grandma is a big leader in my life. In the rest of the essay i said how she helped everyone cheer up after her daughter died as an adult and how she helps the community by volunteered at a hospital for 30+ years so we could tie that in.
Thanks :)

I would sum up everything you have said in the essay.
I was always taught to do an essay this way~~~~~~
1) tell them what you are going to tell them
2) tell them
3) tell them what you have told them

You'll have to put this into your own words...just ideas here...you could conclude by saying how your Grandmother has made a difference in your life and in the lives of everyone she meets simply by her kindness, good deeds and unfailing generosity. She is someone that you look up to and admire not only as a grandmother but as a role model ... a person whom you can always come to knowing she will always have time for you and always be a strong influence in your life.
Although hardships and losses have been a part of her life, she is the one who quickly steps in to support those around her. She sets aside her grief to comfort others and through that she too gains comfort.
Your life is rich and full because of your grandmother. She has taught you many lessons in life...kindness, gratitude, love, sharing, generosity and many other qualities that could be found in the rest of humanity...if only they would take the time to think of others rather than themselves. Your grandmother puts others before herself, that's just who she is...and you'd have it no other way.
***If you use any of this make certain you use your own words...you don't want the style of writing to change and keeping your style is important...you'll likely get many other ideas, but just in case any are from here...but I'm sure you know to do that already ;) ***

Usually with a conclusion you just take the highlights of what you have written and write it into a short paragraph to summarize it all
Like
In conclusion I look up to my grandmother as a special person with a lot to offer. Her compassionate heart has gotten many people through difficult times. She is to be admired for (qualities...) and include points you have already made basically

A conclusion should be sortof a mini-summary of the point of your essay. My suggestion is to take a break from it for an hour or more, go do something completely different that you enjoy, then come back to it and re-read your work. At that point I think the conclusion will write itself.

How about a statement that only God knows how many people her efforts have helped while being a volunteer at the hospital. And one day, she will take her place on the other side and help us when we cross over to there.
(Don't mean to sound morbid. But my Mom passed away about 2 years ago. Mom had a very morbid view of life. The only way I could handle it, was to take a lighter view. To me, its just going back where we started from.)

I don't know how to end your essay. But from what yo've said, she gave her heart and energy to make her corner of the world a better place. Would that we could all live by her example.
You have a good role model there!

I know I'll never be half the person she is, but as she loves me, I know I must be doing something right.
