OP here - I had a feeling someone might say that. I'm not sure how I feel about it anymore.

I don't like this at all. The "gotcha" moment at the end is really emotionally manipulative. Law schools don't like that kind of thing - they want the straight shit. If you want to talk about your grandfather, talk about him in a straightforward way.

That mentioned, I wouldn't open with a story about another person...this statement is ultimately about you, not your grandfather. Do you really want to spend a whole paragraph describing another person?

Start from scratch, mate.
