Richard Howard's Legacy

John very rarely attended school and focused his time on work to make money to support his family. He worked for a few different people, such as farmers and shop keepers but did not stay with a job for more than a few months at a time. until age 17 when he got an offer for an apprenticeship working for a blacksmith in a town about 50 miles from home, with his mothers permission he left home to go to work learning the trade of blacksmithing.

By washing the disciples feet Jesus took the place of a menial servant, thereby setting an example that the disciples and all believers should do as he has done (John 13:15). Jesus warned his disciple’s twice about not emulating the attitude of leadership in the world. The crucial point is “But not so with you” (Mark 10:43; Luke 22:26). All servant leaders should remember Jesus’ words and attitude which was not self-centered. True greatness is unselfish and promotes the wellbeing of others and the kingdom of God. It is not about our churches, ministries or positions, the servant leader has an attitude of giving, sacrificing, and extending mercy to others.

Decisions should be based upon the greatest good for the greatest number of individuals. Howard acted out of self interest and believed he deserved everything he desired. For example, there was no sub-conscious mind present within him as he sexually assaulted the teen. Understanding his moral conduct would have prevented the injuries of the teen. One should take into consideration the environment that Howard came from. His dysfunctional and racial hatred home setting motivated the crime. Howard constantly lived with different relatives that were abusive. The environment that he was exposed to as a child made him believe that his decisions were ethically right. Due to his past life experiences, the court believed that there was not enough sufficient

My grandpa was my biggest inspiration in life until the day he died. The day he died was something I never wanted to experience. That day changed me. He was the most amazing man in my eyes. He loved unconditionally and was always there for us kids. My grandpa was in no way, shape, or form perfect. He made mistakes, but he always taught me differently. Nine years ago, when my grandpa passed, he left his mark on my family and I. grandpa, even though made mistakes, was an amazing man. He worked hard every day, loved unconditionally, and lived life to the fullest.

We spent much of our time together sitting outside watching the people go down the street, while he told me stories about my mom and how similar we were. I loved watching him speak because his words flowed so gracefully as if he had practiced and memorized them for weeks before that day. My grandmother would bring us some lemonade, or a piece of freshly fried chicken and tell us that it was getting dark and we needed to come inside. He would grab my banana seat bike and wheel it into the garage as I gathered my hula-hoop and jump rope following him into the garage. Inside as we would get ready for bed, he would make me a cup of warm milk flavored with just a hint of orange to taste. My grandmother would tuck me in as my grandfather bent over to give me a goodnight kiss right in the middle of my forehead.

Looking back, it is hard to remember my grandpa before he was diagnosed, because a person changes. I will always remember him telling me “mark my words, I will never forget you.” I had to find my own path in life and realize that I want to make an impact on someone lives like my grandfather did. He is always watching over me, and choosing a career in the medical field I know he would be so proud of me that I am helping other like he did serving in the military. He also taught me that life sometime is not on your side, but he taught me how to be a fighter and not a

My siblings and I would go over to my great grandparents house on weekdays, I would always bring the rocking horse there. My grandpa was a oakie so we would always watch his black and white cowboy shows, while watching these shows I would be on the horse rocking back and forward. During these cowboy shenanigans our favorite snack to eat was my great grandma’s homemade cornbread with a glass of milk, the cornbread would smell sweet and feel warm. In the backyard of the house was my great grandpa’s shed, when he would weld or do who knows what, I’d be right by him on my rocking horse.

Memories of using a manual hand mixer to beat our eggs and leafing through his library of yellowing photo album pages. Sometimes he would tinker with broken clocks, leaking plumbing fixtures, or an old 1970 VW Beetle he gave to my grandmother. I make it a mission to explore a nook or storage box in his garage. His house is perpetually frozen in 2009. Thumbing through his family albums, I’ve seen his house and neighborhood transform over the decades.My grandfather passed before I left elementary school, and learning about his life with a more developed mind has made me wish for more time with

I grew up with my parents, and my grandfather. My parents worked fulltime even when I was a little baby. When my mom and dad left for work I spent the whole day with my grandfather. My uncle was a retired soccer player. He played for the Ethiopian National Soccer team in the first African Cup of Nation. At the time when I was a baby he was one of the few living soccer players who played in the first African Cup of Nations. He was also a veteran from the Korean War. He loved telling me stories about his past. How he fought bravely against the communist army and how he scored the significant goal that led his team to the finals. I loved being with my grandfather because I loved listening to

You would think the leadership would be better prepared, Roger Nelson thought. But then these guys might be decoys. If the campesinos were lures, what’s behind this door? His visions weren’t clear on the details, but the floor plans of the house and the exact room where C.E. Mason were not obscured in his visions.

Grandpa, I don’t think you realize how much you (grandma too!) shaped who I am today. My love of reading and all things fantasy can be traced back to the time you lent a bored, lonely girl your Harry Potter books to read over the Summer. Not to mention our annual trips to the movie theater to watch The Lord of The Rings! When I would come over to your house you would show me photos you had taken or cameras you had bought. That sparked an interest in photography in me. I used to sit and listen to you play piano. Now I have a piano in my own home. Your home was a respite from my childhood. It was a place where I could have great adventures, imagination ran wild and there was never a shortage of fun. Growing up, I could always count on you to

The poem Richard Cory by Edwin Arlington Robinson illuminated the stark barriers between social classes. It focused on a wealthy man, Richard Cory, who committed suicide, and was narrated by one of the townspeople in third-person. Although, Robinson waited till the closing line to reveal Cory’s demise, and failed to elaborate further. This tactic allowed the reader to interpret the poem in their own perspective; to understand how Robinson accomplished this, one must first analyze the poem line by line.

Now that you know about Grandpa Jim, I can tell you why he so special to me. first, he’s been with me my whole entire life. We lived about five minutes away from his house so we were there almost all the time. Every time we’re at his house it’s not the same. You can’t just forget someone so kind, funny, and trustful. Ever since I was little we always had our little traditions, and I will never forget them.

Even though me and my grandpa are over one thousand miles apart, we keep a good relationship. Every week we call each other and our conversations are just as good as if he were right there. Me and my grandpa have always been close. My grandpa who I like to call Poppy is one of the best people I have in my life. Me and him treasure the time we have together. We love to cook and basically do everything we can together whenever possible. He is in my life just as much as any other member of my family. Even though I have numerous memories with him, one is very notable. Some of my favorite memories with him happen over dinner. Dinner is one of the few times were all together. It’s a lot different talking to someone in person than on the phone. Everyone is brought together by great people and great food. We’re at the table hours more than needed talking and joking. Good food, better people, and and even better time.

My Grandfather, C.T. passed away when I was very young and although it was before I started school, I reacted greatly to his death and remember in details the events surrounding his death and my grieving process. He is the closest person I have lost and although I understand I should be grateful I haven 't suffered recently, I still ache that my children never met mt primary father figure.. I was always close to my Grandparents and spent most of my time at their home. They were neighbors to us and since my mother worked nights and my father usually didn’t live with us, I was at her house day and night. I remember he always spoke to me as if I was grown and didn’t downplay situations that I was exposed to within my homes. As a young girl all of my family members assumed I didn’t notice things but he understood I needed assistance understanding things and I appreciated this. He had Parkinson 's disease and I often assisted my Grandmother in his care including assistance with the wheelchair, remembering medication and even eating. They allowed me to do all I was capable of and he even helped me learn to read and write by allowing me to "teach" him with his shakiness. He passed away in 1990 in his sleep on Thanksgiving morning.
