Bill Lilly Research Paper

Anyone that came in contact with him, could tell that was his biggest and most honorable trait. He knew when enough was enough, he knew when to leave the bar, and he also knew when his granddaughters wanted attention and affection from him. Growing up across the street from my grandpa, I was able to watch and observe him go through many stages of life. He was my biggest trainer of moderation, self-discipline, and love. He may not have always stopped when others thought he should and he may not have spent as much time with us as we thought we deserved, but he knew the right things to do for himself or other. I was so easily influenced as a child, that I was affected by the right and wrong things I would see happening. While my grandpa didn’t always do the right thing, he always showed me how it was wrong and what I could do to make it

Billy Gene Phillips Sr. was born to Clara Faye and Carl James Phillips on January 15, 1958 in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma. My grandfather grew up in Oklahoma City for the most part of his life. He was raised with three siblings, James Dean Phillips, Donna Faye Conway, and Virginia Ann Terry. He was the second to youngest child in his family. At the age of sixteen he met my grandmother Bonnie Walker, which later married on February 6, 1976 at the age of nineteen. They lived in Dibble, Oklahoma, where they raised five kids, David Phillips, Billy Phillips Jr., Bonnie Phillips, Regenia Phillips, and Virginia Phillips. He had seven grandchildren. In 2003 he fought his son Billy Phillips Jr. In a custody battle for three of his grandchildren, because he didn't believe they were given the best life.

The couple got married on August 22, 1848 and went on a honeymoon soon after ("Ulysses S. Grant's," n.d.). In the early years of the marriage, Ulysses and Julia had four children: Frederick Dent Grant, Jesse Root Grant, Nellie Grant, and Ulysses S. Grant Jr. ("Ulysses S. Grant," n.d.). Grant was assigned to a post called Fort Vancouver, Washington in 1852 ("Ulysses S. Grant," n.d.). Grant became involved with multiple businesses in attempt to move his family closer to the coast ("Ulysses S. Grant," n.d.). Since these businesses started to fail, Ulysses once again turned to drinking thus beginning a reputation that would haunt him through his entire career ("Ulysses S. Grant," n.d.). The next year, 1853, Grant was relocated to Fort Humboldt, North Carolina and given the title of captain ("Ulysses S. Grant," n.d.). At Fort Humboldt, Ulysses ran into a familiar face, commanding officer Lieutenant Colonel Robert Buchanan. Quickly, within the next year, Grant retired from the military with heavy allegations of drinking ("Ulysses S. Grant," n.d.). After leaving the military, Grant moved his family back to Missouri and started work as a farmer ("Ulysses S. Grant," n.d.). Soon this line of work proved unsuccessful and Ulysses moved on to pursue a new career. He failed to find success in real estate, engineer, and clerk ("Ulysses S. Grant," n.d.). In 1860, Grant settled and started work at his father’s tannery business

From birth, it’s the experiences that shape who we become. James Farmer was a boy that was the first generation born out of slavery. He was born in Marshall, TX to a father who was a minister and a mother who would stay at home. My intellectual development was simpler than that of James Farmer, due to the time period in which he grew up in that affected his education, the way he was parented and because of the color of his skin.

Miep Gies, a woman who helped people during the Holocaust, showed her integrity when she did not hesitate to help the Anne Frank family. She was not Jewish and she could have been killed for advocating for the Frank family but she helped them anyways. My hero will have integrity because he will know that his inner ethics must match up with his actions, this dependability he displays is a very admirable trait. Chesley Sullenberger a commercial pilot showed his confidence when he disregarded the Airline Safety instructions and stuck with his instinct of landing the plane on the Hudson River. My hero has confidence because he knows that to be a hero he must trust his instincts thinking about what will create the safest outcome. Ernest Shackleton

He accomplishes things that no child and many men could have accomplished. He's sly, self-sufficient, painfully honest and open, despite the deceit. He grows up in many ways. He continues to be naïve yet always displays immense courage.

Hank Converse was born in 1934 in Milford, Massachusetts to Walter Converse and Norine Drew. Hank had an older brother, William Drew, who was born out of wedlock to his mother in 1925. Norine’s mother raised William because of the social stigma. Walter and Norine sired five living children: Walter (Duke), Clinton, Clara, Barbara, and Hank, and three children who died during pregnancy and child birth.

My grandpa was the most composed man I know. When he talked with adults, he was very imperturbable; never rose his voice, never spoke out of turn, never aimed to offend. His words were very calculated and intentional. Simply put; he said precisely what he needed and wanted to say. With children he would get a bit silly, but still never offensive or inappropriate. This reliability, this consistency, was probably the biggest reason he and I had such a strong connection. Him being a very devout man of faith also contributed to this personality I think.

My grandfather was the greatest man. Deaf from one ear, blind from another eye. He functioned, a hard worker, he was, always looking out for the family, for his kids, and the saddest part is that he never got the thanks he deserved.

He is very smart. My Grandpa has read many books. In fact, I think he already read over fifty books in his entire life. All this knowledge from books and experience of living for many years make him smart. Certainly, I know he is intelligent because I see it when we have a conversation. For example, he starts telling me about interesting facts or stories about other parts of the world. Next, Amilcar is very respectful. He knows how to treat people with respect. Amilcar has friends that, over the years, have done bad things to him and he stills treat them with respect. As an illustration, he told me once “Treat others how you want to be treated and everything will be good for you.” Furthermore, my Grandpa is an optimistic man. For instance, he tries to show me the positive side of things. For example, one day I was angry and I started cursing everything when my Grandpa told me that instead of being mad I should be counting my blessings. Amilcar is always expecting something good whenever he goes. In particular, every time I see him he has good news for me. All of this is what makes my Grandpa have a unique
