Personal Narrative: I Am Hannah Childs

My identity can be defined by moments in my life. Moving to Canada, learning English and going to high school are three major moments in my life. Going through these experiences have changed the person in me and made me more confident, stronger, better in everything.

I’m a pitcher in softball while being an actress in multiple musicals. I also foster cats with my family for Wags and Whiskers Animal Rescue in our spare time. It was fun getting to know Kacen and creating this book!

I am Kaitlyn Zimmerman; and I am a traditional college student who is just now entering my sophomore year at Bethel College, where I am majoring in History and Humanities and minoring in Education. I have lived in Coloma, Michigan for the past four years after my family moved for my father’s job as a Christian school principle. Prior to this, we lived in New Jersey, Pennsylvania, and in India as missionaries. In addition to a love of traveling, I feel that our regular moves have caused me to form a strong bond with my family and to learn to depend on the Lord.

I Emma I Ried, was born on February 12, 2004, in Ingham Hospital in Lansing, MI. I am 11 years old and I love to horseback ride. I currently live with my mom, stepdad, two brothers, and my two dogs Chevy and Buddha. I also rotate between my dad’s on the weekends with my stepbrother and stepsister, my two half sisters, and a dog. I really like my life so far, and I’m going to tell you about my friends, family, horseback riding, and vacation.

Twenty years ago today, God gave me my second child. She has come to have many nicknames from my gift from God, my Angel of Jesus, to my Princess. Lauren Bailey, you have developed into a beautiful young lady, who is head strong and always knows what she wants. Even as a baby you knew what you wanted and how you were going to do things. When the doctors told me that they needed to take you away as soon as I had you, I lost a piece of me, because I did not know what to expect especially after your first surgery at five days old, but you showed your dad and I that you were strong and willing to live. You have shown so much courage, even at 9 years old, when you had your open heart surgery and you told me “Mom if God wants me to be with him, I

I have for months been in apprehension that David would volunteer. Yet, joining the Army will be a terrible trial to me. He joined the Washington County Company commanded by Capt.Willet. They are now at Camp Cummings, the Fair ground. David sold his Pistol, got $25 for it, paid some of his little debts and we are preparing shirts with crochet work. He is very serious and deliberate about it, and the poor boy, he will be more so as the hardships thicken upon him. He was anxious to be called in.

My life is quite simple. The only place I have ever lived in is the small city of Seguin, Texas. I have a sister, Sara, who is currently a freshman this year. I attend Navarro High School where I am involved in National Honor Society, Student Council, Interact Club, Photography Club, Varsity Volleyball, Basketball, and Tennis. I also commit my time to volunteer services in efforts to better the community. Some service projects that I have volunteered at are Guadalupe Regional Medical Center, Blue Santa, Navarro Junior Varsity Volleyball Tournament, Bike Rotary, and multiple trash pick-ups. Along with living in a small town, I believe these athletic, academic, and volunteer services have shaped me to be the person I am today. As a result, I have learned time management skills and how to represent myself. I truly believe that this has had a positive impact on my character.

I am Janae Beasley. I am 26 years of age. Currently, I reside in Maryland, in a town that is very modest and peaceful. I have a dog named Sosa, and an array of fresh water fish. I am a wife to a man with a heart of gold and a mother of an energetic, fearless, and amazing nine month old baby boy. I thoroughly enjoy: planning events, singing, going to church, watching animated movies, listening to music and spending time with my family.

All I remember is running through the halls trying to find the closest closet or classroom with Debra when suddenly I tripped over her foot and everything goes black.

Kelsey is the most creative person I know. My older sister Kelsey is one of the most important people in my life and I’ve always looked up to her. I was actually surprised when Kelsey said I could interview her, she usually tells me to go ask mom whenever I’m asking her something. After interviewing my sister, I learned a lot about her. Before interviewing her I didn’t know how hard it was for her to get through school, I had no idea it was such a big commitment for her to make. I already knew she loved what she does for a living, just didn’t know how much it meant to her.

Born on April 4, 2003, I, Aurelia, have lived a pretty average life. I was raised in Mount Salem by my parents Hein and Mary. I have two siblings, Janessa and Emelia. On my free time, which is not very often, I go for bike rides, read and play games with my family. In Elementary school, I was the Student Council secretary. This summer I had a job cleaning other peoples houses. The most significant thing that happened to me this past month was having my cousins over from Mexico and in one week going to the Aquarium, the CN tower, African Lions Safari, going bowling, and having four family gatherings.
