Andrew Williams: The Man Who Changed My Life

We are gathering here today in honor of my father Willy Loman. Willy left us at the age of 60 years old. Leaving behind two sons my brother happy and I. He also left behind my mom, his beautiful wife of 40 years his wife, Linda. We all have our flaws, we will not remember him for his flaws. But, for his perseverance good intentions and values he instilled in my brother and I.

Most times, anything abnormal or odd tend to be pushed under the rug. Edgar Allan Poe subtly brings attention to topics the are typically ignored. E. A. Poe had far from a perfect childhood. His father left when he was young and his mother died when he was three. Poe also seemed to have a lonely childhood after his parents were gone. He was separated from his relatives and didn’t appear to have many friends. He attended the army and after went into West Point. His academics there were well but he was eventually kicked out because of poor handlings of his duties. Before Poe died, he struggled with depression and a drinking problem. Some believe Poe’s tragic lifetime was the inspiration for some of his stories. Such as, “The Fall of the House of Usher”. A possible theory about this story is that Roderick and the Narrator were one in the same. This essay will discuss the possibility of them being the same through plot, characterization, and personification.

William Harvey Carney was a very brave man with a story to tell. Throughout his life he lived out a struggle. I don’t know how he did it but he had some guts as strong as steel. But at

Having had challenging and somewhat turbulent teen years at home with his Father; I was most touched at Gary's meticulous care for his aging and ill Father for several years before he died. His compassion and assiduous attention to his Father over his remaining years was affecting.

Bearing in mind that his children were drowned along with his traumatic experiences during WWII, these things may be feeding into or having a relation to the alter ego. In addition, it is also significant to mention that Andrew’s father was diagnosed with schizophrenia at the age of 25 years old as well. Although these factors are assumptions, it is still important to continue to explore and investigate other possible precipitating

Williams describes the pressure that is placed on Lincoln. The union government and the public were questioning the inactivity of McClellan and his troops. Lincoln was willing to absorb most of this pressure but eventually seeks answers to the same questions. Williams shows the desperate side of Lincoln. Lincoln starts to recklessly allow attack plans that he did not always agree with, just because he was desperate to see action from McClellan.

I had the pleasure of interviewing a man of many gifts, artistically, professionally, patriotically and most of all, personally, all in my lifetime. When faced with the decision to pick a person to interview, I initially thought local and face to face. The person I had in mind, had medical issues and could not sit for an interview. I wanted this paper to really stand out and have someone of substance, whom I can vouch for as having walked the walk and could talk the talk.

One of Jeremy’s heroes is a man by the name Earl Schamehorn. His strong religious values and his selflessness has changed the lives of the many young people he has taught. He was Jeremy’s fifth grade teacher and is now one of his dearest friends. Earl is the closest thing to a father figure that Jeremy and other former students of his have in their life. This is why Jeremy chose him to be the person he interviewed. Jeremy not only found him interesting, but wanted to know why he decided to get involved in young people’s lives. Jeremy thought this would be a good opportunity to question him about why he became a mentor to so many of his students.

After reading this week, I would have to say of the men we read about; David, Jonathan, Daniel and Nehemiah, I most identify with Nehemiah. Nehemiah was a man who built a legacy. Furthermore, a legacy “can be built in many ways. Some are personal, some financial, and some are even national in scope” (Hindson, 2003). I had a rough child hood. Therefore, as an adult, I have tried to make sure that I have not or am not anything like my parents. Just like Nehamiah, I had a plan that consisted of having a vision, motivation, and having a plan to achieve my goal (Hindson, 2003). I also wanted to make sure that my kids were able to do things and have things that I was not able to. However, what I realized as an adult is that I really can learn

His parents inspire him by teaching him to never give up and to believe in himself even when he thinks he can’t. Xavier would like to thank his family and friends, but mostly his parents. He would like to thank his parents for showing him what's right and wrong and also for pushing him to do better. Thank you mom and

All of our lives are like stories that eventually end, some just end more abruptly than others. Certain stories are more impactful to some people more than others. A few that you might wish would end sooner, while other stories you wish would go on and on. Some stories leave deep footprints in our souls. The tale of "Uncle" Stan "the man" Morton was one of epic proportion. A story so profound that anyone who encountered it, was unable to resist the sentiment that unselfishly exuded from every moment in Stan's story. One of the few stories in my life that has enabled me to enhance the depth of my own story. A story which continually inspired others to re-look at their own thinking and to push themselves to expand their potential to its fullest.

A short young adult, with glasses and down syndrome has a bigger heart than anyone I have ever met. Cory had a lot of odds stacked against him. At times, it seemed like with every step forward he took two steps back, never able to break that rhythm. Cory broke that rhythm, and has never looked back. Service to those who have it worse than him allowed him to break that spell. Being a young man with down syndrome his maturity at times can be lower than others. As an 18 year old young man there is so many things that one would want. Rather than asking everyone for a new toy lizard that helps him feel safe and welcome, a gift card to go out to eat with friends, or anything else, he asked for everyone to bring a canned good. Why one may ask? Because for his birthday all he wanted was to help the less fortunate by donating over 8,900 meals to the food bank. As people walked down and placed a canned god in the shopping cart, the smile on his face grew. His smile was like no other, indescribable, but extremely loveable. It was as wide as the sky and as loving as a child. Seeing his eyes light up like fireworks in the sky on the fourth of July, as each stranger, student, teacher, and friend walked over and placed a canned good and stood by him in his effort to help others less fortunate than him. Seeing smiles spread like a wild fire brought a sense of happiness that could turn a bad day into the best day of your life. This happened all because a young man didn’t let anyone spoil his

He flinched as they came back to him. First, the memory of him contributing 50,000 US Dollars to victims of the Siachen Earthquake in 2008. Next, the memory of him donating 1.3 million dollars to his old high school, William Knibb Memorial High School. What he remembered the most about the donation was not the good deed he was committing, but the looks on the children's faces as they cried and gasped in awe, and the thanks the principle gave him as they shook hands.
