I was born in Newark, Ohio, on November 27, 2002. I am the second daughter and second child in my family. My sister, Mariah was born a little over five years before me and my brother, Marshall was born almost three years after me. My mother, Leigh Ann was and still is a stay at home mom. She now babysits and has been babysitting for six and a half years. The kids that she babysits is Lilly and Joshua. Lilly is six and a half years old and Joshua will be 3 this November. These kids are a huge part of my life and I feel blessed to have them. My dad worked and still currently works at State Farm. I feel like I’ve always had a glorious family and even though we may have some rough patches we always worth things out.

The violin led me to facing my fears and getting up in front of people and playing songs. Not only has this wonderful instrument brought me joy but it has led me to face my fears.
Middle School came around pretty quick and I thought that I would try job shadowing. I went to Pet Plex which is up by Buckeye Lake and that’s when I knew that I wanted to be a veterinarian. I watched three surgeries while I was there one on a dog, a cat, and a piglet. From the time I was little I knew I wanted to work with animals but I knew for sure exactly what I wanted to be. It was a big turning point in my life and now it’s my dream job. In seventh grade I found out I had to get my tonsils taken out because they were naturally way to big and were causing me to gag. It was an important part of my life because I never experienced surgery before and I never want to again. I had a bad experience with it because I ended up coming home and puking my guts out three times. We found out after the surgery that my adenoids had also been taken out. The doctor had said, “I wasn’t going to take them out until I saw how big they were. We don’t know how you were even breathing out of your nose because your adenoids were blocking your nose one hundred percent.”
I was about in fourth grade my sister was running track and cross country. I didn’t know how she did it but I told myself that I wasn’t going to run because I didn’t believe I could run that
I often hear people say “I knew I was called to preach the gospel” or “ministry is in my blood.” For many years, even into adulthood, I thought ministry was only about preaching. I did not understand the depth of ministry until I became intimate with God. I realize that those who said they were called to preach are only seeking out a job because true ministry is a lifestyle. My spiritual journey began in early childhood. However, unlike many others who grew up as pastor kids, the long boring years I spent in church services deterred me from wanting to go into ministry. Even into adulthood, I went to church but that is all I wanted to do. I wanted to go to service, listen to the pastor, give my offering, say amen then go home and proceed with the rest of my life. In fact, this cycle and my view about doing ministry continued until my late 20s. As a seminarian looking back on my childhood, I discovered my family’s church habits were the norm for people at that time. My grandmother did not believe women should to wear pants because they were things that “pertain to a man (Deuteronomy 22:5)” and the skirt should always be a modest length. I could not see it at that time, but, unknowingly, while I was grumbling and complaining about my clothes and the time we spent in church, the other believers were instilling biblical values in me that would manifest later in life. My relationship with God between ages 18 and 26 is similar to the people in the last
I was born in North Sioux City, Iowa. I grew up there till the time I was seven. From age five to age seven, all I would eat was peanut butter and jelly. I refused to eat anything else. My sister was a year younger than me and was always getting into things. Hospital visit after hospital visit thanks to her. Other than that, my childhood memories are faint. The only other thing I remember is not being able to read picture books with all the other kindergarteners and having to read with the, at the time, scary 2nd graders. My parents got divorced when I was seven and we finally moved to Milford, Iowa. I strongly disliked it at first, but I made some awesome friends in 4th grade that stood by my side.
My earliest memories of being read to were when I was five years of age and my
Background: I was born in the Woodlands, TX, and live in Spring, TX with my parents and siblings.

The first day I was born was on October 2, 2003. I don't really know much but I do know that I was born in Visalia it was 2:43pm when I was born. I'm glad my mom gave life to me and I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for my mom. My mom told me that I was a better baby than my older brother. The reason is because he was a much louder baby then I was. My mom said that she is lucky to have me.
Howard, Reno and I were at my friend’s house TJ smoking marijuana when Howard told me about Chambers.
We all started somewhere and my debut was January 18th 1996 on a Thursday morning at 12:20am. I was born to Monica Reynolds and Eucal Holness in Philadelphia, PA. It just so happened that I was born at the same hospital as my mother, Parkveiw Hospital. I have 5 great siblings. My oldest brother is 18 years older than me with a wife, kids and a career in the army. I have triplet siblings, two brothers and a sister, which are 2 years younger than me. Lastly, I have a younger sister that is 15 years younger than me.
My violin grants me the confidence I need to play in any performance and the strength to get through a stressful day. Between my middle school and high school days, I was encouraged to dance when I performed. I was never labeled as the social butterfly, outspoken, or anything remotely confident. However, with my violin, my fears decrease as my confidence rises. If my eight year old self was juxtaposed with my seventeen year old self, it is plain to see how much I’ve grown as a musician and as a striving individual. Years ago, I was a timid little girl who was intimidated by the thoughts of others. Today, I am willing to take risks and hope for the best. If things don’t work out, my resilience is not deterred. Instead, I look for other ways to achieve my goals and work a thousand times
I was born August 24th, 2001. I learned how to walk around 1 and a half. I started talking a lot around two. When I was 3 through 4 years old when my family and I would go camping I would always wonder off and explore with them I was a adventures child. I moved to Hawaii when I was six years old. My dad was deployed into Hawaii when he was in the Army. He was also deployed into Washington when I was 7 I didn’t like it, but it was fun when my Dad wasn’t drunk. When I was seven years old, I discovered video games.I hardly ever went outside to play games. I would just sit there playing games. I would play games all day every day until I was 11. I put on a lot of weight but took it off around age 12 through 13. I scootered a lot when I was 12 through 13.
October 16, 2011, Michigan Nationals vs. Lansing Spartans. The Nationals leading scorer Darin Mihelac, I look down at the jersey I am about to put on, on the back it says Mihelac in red under it the big forty-seven, the one my teammates always looked to for big plays to carry them into the playoffs for the last two seasons, me, the one that felt the pressure of every single loss my team had, the one that felt it was my fault every time they lost. Fast forward to the second period of the game I grab the rebound from the bottom of the circle from the left side of our net, “SKATE!” what I heard every time I had the puck and I always listened so I put my head down looking up every other second. Once I get to the Lansing blue line there was one defenseman who didn’t open the hips quick enough and right around the outside, I get to the Spartans goalies right side circle I wind up a wrist shot and over the goalies right shoulder I heard the same “WOOO!” thirty-three times that season. But what I felt there was always an open pass that I see every time I now hear that “SKATE!” I feel I let somebody that had a more open shot. That is just one experience of me being self centered in my life. It was being self centered because I did not pass it to my teammates and
My name is Rashad Evans. I was born in Las Venturas (Sin City). My father owned a small restaurant on the LV strip which meant long working days. My mother was a nurse in the Las Venturas hospital but she quit that job to help out in my father’s restaurant. My first job was at that restaurant, I started as a janitor and later on I worked as a waiter and as a chef in the kitchen.
How does a person begin to write a narrative of their own life, relating events and ideas back to their own culture? Well, first, I’d like to give some baseline information about myself. I am a white, middle-class, educated, mid-western, Christian female athlete. I come from a traditional family with a mother, father, one brother, and two sisters. Taking those characteristics into account, I would say that I am a privileged member of society, and being privileged has been part of my culture. In addition, the largest influences on my life and worldview were my family, school, church, and the area I grew up.
I long to be free. To be free from the metal chains that hold me down. To be free from the whispering as I descend into my empty slumber. My heart couldn’t handle the pain of the immortal whispers and figures that popped up here and there trying to help or drag me with them.
I remember myself sitting near a little block with letters and my mother teaching me the name of each of them. She starts to sing me a song to help me to memorize the alphabet. It is so funny singing the ABC song. At that instant, the door opens, and my father enters the room. That is the first thing carved in my memory, and each time when I think about it, I conclude that we are the best family in the world.
I was born and raised into a hardworking family that are the complete opposite of culture alienators. My siblings and I are all first generation in America on my mom's side and second generation on my dad's side. Life was very hard for my parents to raise all seven of us and depended on my grandparents for most of their help. Being that my grandparents brought all nine of their kids to America from Belize it was also very hard for them so survive and find stability. Most families that come to America from a third world country usually find it very difficult to keep up family traditions and sometimes lose all contact. My family found a way to stay very close and keep the Belizean culture very alive still to this day. As you can tell by now
