I was raised by a redheaded nurse and a pharmacist with an eye for photography. The life they gave my two younger brothers and I was embodiment of the American dream. We had a house in the suburbs, a real Christmas tree every December and a golden retriever named Rocky. We traveled a lot. From beach vacations in Hawaii to weekend get always in snowy mountain resorts, we usually took one or two family trips a year. My dad being the shutterbug that he was always insisted that my brothers and I posed at every destination and tourist trap. I was constantly told to “sit up straight Thomas”. Some of our biggest fights were about whether or not to pull the car over to take another scenic shot. I always grumbled through the photo shoot and found the constant flash of the camera obnoxious. At my high school graduation I was forced to

I’m Noah Myers, a 17 year old homeschool senior and Running Start student at FVCC. This quarter I’m starting my journey to manhood with 11 general credits. Though I’m not confident in my career direction yet, I am confident that God will reveal his plan for me as I pursue classes while trusting Him to lead me. Years ago God gave my mom a verse which crazily fits my personality. Joshua 1:9 ”Have I not commanded you? Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid; do not be discouraged, for the LORD your God will be with you wherever you go.” I used to be a big worrier,well, I still am sometimes but the more I get to know God, the more convinced I am that He knows best and loves me completely. It’s all about trusting Him to be Master because
My road into choosing medicine has been a turbulent route, but the bumps and hurdles along the way have created defining impressions on me. Over the years, I have been pushed and pulled into and away from being a physician. I interest in medicine initially sparked my high school friend asked me to take his job in doing his father’s, a primary care physician, paperwork for the year. I was in need of some gas money, so I gladly accepted. After signing towers of paper work regarding HIPAA, I began doing the simple task of scanning medical files and typing them into the electronic system.
Today, I shot out of bed knowing that it would be an exciting but busy day. In the morning, I hustled over to Starbucks in the Commons to grab a frappuccino and a piece of pumpkin bread so my body's energy could match my mind's eagerness. I slept in and did not have time to take a shower before my Math/PPE 180 class; I was running on a sleep deficit, as I stayed up a bit too late preparing for my 2nd midterm on Nash Equilibria. Previously, I had studied Game Theory in AP Microeconomics, but its analytic nature and application to real-life-issues left me just a bit too interested to fall asleep.
Hi, my name is Larika McElroy. I am currently attending North Colchester High School as a grade 12 student. I have successfully completed the French Immersion program, and am fluent in both English and French. I was part of leadership teams and have participated in many leadership courses. I am currently a volunteer for the initiative section of volunteering with the Syrian Refugees. I am punctual, organized, friendly, and a hard and efficient worker.
I decided to attend the University of Phoenix in 2007. I was a single mom of 2 daughters at that time and thought my life was pretty stable. I was able to balance my career, family, and going to school until the father of my daughters came back into our lives. I started to focus on giving my daughters every opportunity to get to know their dad, which meant I reduced the amount of time I put into my schooling. I was always taking my daughters to visit their dad anytime they wanted. After a few months of interacting and getting to know him again, we decided to give our relationship another try. Shortly after he moved into the home I was pregnant with our third child. I was still attending school but not doing as well as I was previously. After having my third child, I was no longer able to juggle all of my
August Wilson once quoted “Confront the dark parts of yourself, and work to banish them with illumination and forgiveness. Your willingness to wrestle with your demons will cause your angels to sing.” This was a lesson I had to familiarize myself with because there was a time in my life where I did not recognize who I was due to certain circumstances of my surroundings. One year ago, my sister received a phone call letting us know that our brother was arrested for a crime he insists he did not commit. He continued to inform us that a shooting had occurred, and he felt as if he was being framed although he had an alibi. The news was very unsettling to me because it begun to sink in that there was a great possibility I would never see my brother again.
My family has faced multiple financial hardships. Years ago, I fell twenty-five feet off an inflatable rock climbing wall and injured my back. Today, I still experience constant back pain, but have learned to manage my disability. My injury has cost my family thousands of dollars, to transport me to doctors and physical therapy appointments. Since before I was born, my mother has been disabled and unable to work. My family has relied on my father’s minimal salary as a casino security officer and part-time Walmart employee. Unfortunately, my father will retire soon and provide limited financial support for college. Also, I have a twin brother, who will be journeying to college, as well next year. Thus, any financial support, my family is able to offer will be divided between my twin brother and me.
The day I separated from my mother to live with my father in the United States marked the beginning of a downward spiral in my life, or so I thought. Coming from Vietnam at the age of seven, I experienced a cultural shock. For starters, I did not speak English, which made interacting with other children my age a difficult task. But to my advantage, speaking and knowing Vietnamese is an asset I have come to eventually appreciate. However, life at home and my relationship with my father or lack of one was hard for me to understand at such a young age as I was only reunited with him a week before I left Vietnam. I began to shield myself from this foreign world around me and found solace in our backyard swimming pool. I thought of my mother constantly. I always knew she was sick, but I never realized of what extent her illness had consumed her health.
I was born on a very cold winter night in the month of February. I was born into a middle-class family but we lived in a very rough neighborhood in the inner city. I was a very smart child who enjoyed playing sports and participating in various activities at school. Growing up I had a passion for helping others and being a protector for my family even though I was the youngest out of five grandsons. When I was at school in the month of September I remember my teacher cutting on the television and seeing two planes blast through the World Trade Center. I thought it was something out of a movie I was very young when it happened so I didn’t know what was going on. I saw footage of people jumping from the buildings, running through the street trying
I am Christin Mary DewBerry, born May 30, 1998. I am the youngest of four children born to Janetta and Reginald DewBerry. My father is the Director of Child Care Services at a youth facility and my mother a Detective Sergeant with the Detroit Police Department.
My family consist of my parents, my twin brothers Joshua and Jesus, my sister Marilyn and myself. Growing up my parents were very strict. Our typical day was to go to school and come straight home after school. We were not allowed to participate in any outside school activities because we did not live in a safe neighborhood. As a result my siblings and I grew up really close to each other since we usually only interacted among our self’s. In our family my dad is the head of our house hold and he was predominantly responsible for all the decision makings in our home. My dad ran his house hold in a very traditional Mexican manner. No one ever questions his rules as a result there was very little communication in our family. This eventually led
You have been sick for days and looked like crap. You was sitting on my couch watching some random show when your phone buzzed. It was a text from (c/n) saying, hey how ya feeling and can I come over got you some things to make you feel better. Knowing that he was thinking about me made me bubble inside,you had the biggest crush on him for years and didn’t know how he felt but you texted back saying, Sure come over. You were still on the couch when you hear a knock on the door, and he was saying,”(y/n) it’s me”. You said, “Come in it’s open”,right as he came in he said “Hey how are you feeling?”. You replied groaning,”feeling like I was ran over with a truck.” He chuckled at your response and you laughed back. “Well, I have something for you and hopefully it
Once there was a bus, with all the high schoolers from the school. They were all heading up to Niagara Falls for their annual field trip. After about twenty minutes of driving, the school’s valedictorian, Jason, decided to strike up a conversation with his life long friend, Parker, who happened to be the starting wide receiver for the varsity football team. Jason greeted Parker with a modest, “Hey man, how have you been?”
