On April 26, 2004 I was born into the Richards family, awaiting me was a big brother and two very supportive parents. All my life I have been able to have amazing opportunities and a lot of freedom. Although some people say that I have all that I want in life handed to me, but they are wrong. When I was nine, I tried out for a travel hockey team, the best in the state. After days of my parents telling me to just play club, I made the team. From then on I knew that I would have to work for my sports and for my opportunities. Whenever I achieved something, I was always supported and funded by may parents go for it. From day one, my parents have been there for me, they have always been my number one fans. My mom and dad have given me a lot of
I am the way I am because of my father, he drives me to get an education, and he wants me to be better than him. My dad constantly tells me “tell me who your friends are and I’ll tell you who you’re going to be.” This quote means significantly to me because when I was in 6th grade I would hang out with the wrong crowd, later when I was a freshman, I made new friends, better friends, and the ones that push me to strive. My mom is my rock, she struggles sometimes since she raised my brother and I alone, but she always finds a way to get us what we need for school and sports that we play in. I have this picture of my brother, my cousin, and I in front of our house when we first bought it, it’s been 17 years that I’ve been living in it. It may not be the nicest house, but its payed off and I have a roof over my head, to me that’s all that matters. My neighborhood is actually quiet, I have 3 neighbors that are nice people, when we go out of town they watch our house for
Adrien Arcand was one of the earliest and most influential fascists in the 1920s and 30s. He founded and led The Canadian National Social Christian Party [1]. He was a journalist from Quebec who created several anti-Semitist newspapers [7].
Before asking yourself “who am I?” Ask yourself “how did I come to be?” My parents Greg and Cathy Frangipane have been a huge help through my life. I got an opportunity to sit down and interview each of them about their life and go to hear some exciting stories. Learning about my parents I can see a bunch of similarities with me and each of my parents.
I start off with analyzing Alex and Marty household’s current insurance and retirement program with the information that Alex gives me, using the needs approach. Alex and Marty Smith are married and file a joint tax return. Alex was 35 years old in September and works as a coach and high school teacher at a local school. Alex’s salary was $49,000 before taxes in 2014. Marty will be 34 years old in April and is a self-employed web designer and marketing consultant who works at home. Marty’s income fluctuated each year but in 2014, his earnings before taxes were $68,000 which was an average year. Their children are Olivia, who is 9, and Michael, who is 7. The Smith family is a two-income-earner with children family, which is a family with both
One of the substance abuse interventions I recently led, resulted in a very public miraculous healing. I was contacted by the McCracken family early in 2015 to lead a last chance intervention for their son Jeff. Jeff McCracken was barely alive when we got him to treatment. Once he arrived at the facility we had in place, they immediately sent Jeff to the hospital. His medical condition was dire, he was given two months to live and sent to Hospice. In Hospice, Jeff’s parents requested our team to pray over him. Within days of that event, Jeff had an incredible turn around and was released from Hospice and entered a program. I sponsored Jeff throughout the recovery process. God has utterly transformed his life. Dubbed a modern day “Lazarus,”
Ambition is what pushes the human race to become stronger and evolve as a whole. Every human is greedy, even if they may not show it. There are multiple instances and people in the play Macbeth by Shakespeare where this is shown. Such as, Lady Macbeth, when Macbeth kills the king, and when Macbeth kills Banquo.
My family background is Latino and I come from a family that struggles at times, but is always willing to work their butts off just to provide things for myself and also for my siblings . My uncles who I consider my parents have always been there for me and my two older sisters, he took us in when my mother passed away giving birth to my little sister, after she gave birth to my little sister, she disappeared from our lives since her dad took her, but that’s life and i’m sure one day we will meet.

Everyone has a story of how great an astonishing their life has come to be like getting a chance to travel the world, getting awards being popular, or even helping out in the community.

I’ve known the Smith family ever since I was a little girl. It all began with John’s father working at the school where my mother went to. My grandma knew Bill’s (dad) family and it led our families to connect with one another. John and I went to school together and I was able to witness him grow throughout the years. John and I have a close relationship and I thought it would be great to do my family interview project with his family. Before the interview, I was hoping to learn more about John from his families perceptive. As John’s friend, I wanted to get insight from his parents and learn more about him. I called John’s father and asked him if I would be able to interview him. I had his number because John will occasionally come over during
Being a member of the Williams family, I feel the need to carry on that name with honor and dignity. Throughout my life, I was always pushed to become someone hungry for a successful future. I remember a time towards the end of my sophomore year of high school, when I was speaking with my father about my interests and what I had in mind of becoming when I was older. After getting over the goal of becoming a professional football athlete, I told him that I was thinking about being some sort of engineer as I am very strong in math. His response was nothing short of disappointment. As an electrical engineer himself, he said something like “son, engineers don’t get paid sh*t. You are better off going into business where there are endless opportunities.”

As a witness to the average American lifestyle and one who has experienced time with many different families and many different people for that matter, I believe that there is no such thing as a person. Everyone has their flaws, quirks, or traits that make them unique, and not every person will always be able to get along with one another because of these differences. But our differences with other people should not be shamed but embraced. I believe that The Middle is the perfect representation of a not so perfect family full of not so perfect people. A modern American lifestyle lived by individuals of all types of personalities that somehow blend together well enough to create the perfect family situation to make a sitcom.
George Orwell’s ‘Animal Farm’ was written in the format of a fable, it was written as a political book to show the difficult ideas about power and government, it is not his first political book as he wrote ‘1984’ as an ominous threat for a totalitarianism society (spark notes, 2014) in which the government controls everything in our lives (spark notes, 2014), but it is not a fable. Traditionally fables are usually short stories that contain a moral and teach children lessons (Alchin L, 2014), usually they are written aimed towards children as the characters are usually animals that are given human characteristics with the ability to talk and still have their animal features (Alchin L, 2014). In ‘Animal Farm’ the majority of the characters
Growing up, I’ve always been surrounded by my African family and their culture. I was raised not only by my parents but also with the help of my aunts, uncles, and grandma. My moms’ side of the family is always saying, “It takes a village to raise a family.” Which is true since I help raise my cousins now as well with the rest of my family. However, when you grow up kind of being the odd ball, you have troubles communicating with others, getting upset easily, and well just feeling out of place. I grew up not getting a long with my two siblings at the time and my aunt. On top of being the odd ball, I was also the first daughter. In fact my first name is Adamaka, which means beautiful first daughter. Now in a Nigerian culture being the first daughter is an honor, but to me it feels
The past 17 years of my life have been good, bad, and full of memories. I have grown a lot over the years psychologically, religiously, and naturally. My choice of music has also broaden. By going through all these has cultivated me into the young man I am today. However, without the help of my parents and other loved ones I would not be the young man I am today also. My parents have influenced me a lot through my lifetime they have pushed to be the best that I can possibly be. My grandparents also influenced me. They are always there for me whenever I need them; my grandfather always tell me he has “high expectations for all of you.” Hearing him say that makes me want to keep going on and do my
