Mathews grandfather died when he was 14, Not knowing his grandmother that much mather took this very hard. He wouldnt let people see him be sade but when he was alone it hit him very hard, and he would cry a lot. Mathews grandfather tought him a lot of stuff about the ranch and what he would have to know when he got older and started work full time at the ranch.

( ROLE PLAY SAMPLE )

This is important because I want to see how well you can role play and more importantly the character.

Matt lets out a big yawn as he saddles his horse, and gets ready for the work day. Its 4:45 in the morning. Matt is the first one up on the farm as always. He gets up on his horse and rides over to the ranch house, and starts knocking on the door waking up the workers. He adjust his hat, and walks to the other end of the hoses to wake up the others.

Matt finishes waking up the workers, and walks to his fathers house he walks over to the kitchen where his father is drinking his coffee. Matt walks over to the table takes off his hat sits it down on the table,and sits down." So Dad the cattle over on the west end need to be moved over to the main Field with the rest of the herd right?" Matt's Father puts his coffee down,and looks at him and says" Yes we need to move them,and start cutting the hay in the Fields too."Matt gets up from the table,and walks out of the house gets on his horse,and yells to the works to move to the west end Field.

Mathew rides up to the wooden gate, and gets off his horse he opens the gate and lets the others ride threw. When every one is threw mat opens the gate the rest of the way, and gets up on his horse. Matt looks at the 240 head of cattle. " This is going to be a long day." Mathew rides over the Austin his right hand man that is about 4 months younger the him, and says" Lets get them moving, But dint make any loud noises or real fast moves." Mathew starts to round up the cattle and gets them moving out of the gate and on there way to the Fields.
