I was born on April 23, 1994 in Brampton, Ontario. I have lived in Brampton my entire life. I completed my undergraduate degree at University of Toronto, and now I am here at York University completing my BEd. I am someone who values helping others above anything else, which is why my dream has always been to become a teacher. This is something that I will accomplish, and nothing will stop me from achieving my dreams!

The first thing that I did was to take the interest inventory. This questionnaire allowed for me to reflect upon who I am as a learner and how it is connected to my interests. After filling out this questionnaire I realized that I base my liking of content subjects based on how naturally a subject matter comes to me. This means that math, science and physical education were my favorite subjects because they were hands on and easy to catch on to. I also realized that I wish I would have put more time and effort into English class because the more time I put into something the better I become at it. I feel that my writing is my weakest aspect of who I am as a learner.

I was born May, 30th 1989 at Wadley Medical in Texarkana, Ar. I was born to Kym Crispino from Queens, NY and William Lee of Hot Springs, Ar. My parents were young when they had me. We were very poor at times, but they always made sure I had what I needed. I was an only child, but grew up around plenty of cousins. I have lived in Texarkana my entire life. My parents split up when I was twelve, and my mother and I moved out into the country on a dead-end street with no children in the area, I became very sheltered and a little socially awkward.

I was born in Cedar Rapids, Iowa on February 22, 2002 to Matt and Rachel Eilers I was born at Mercy Medical Center. On the twenty third of February I got to go to my home at 7526 Cattail Ct. NE, Cedar Rapids, Iowa. My room had blue curtains; I still can remember it. My brother was born on October 11, 2006. At the age of 5 years old I had brain surgery due to my Chiari malformation. I went to kindergarten on August 20, 2008 at Holloway House. My preschool and kindergarten teacher was Mrs. Varn.

I was born in Craven Community Hospital in New Bern North Carolina on Thursday, May 23,1991. Craven Community Hospital is the only hospital in New Bern, both of my parents born in the same hospital. New Bern is a very small city in North Carolina many people have never heard of it, a lot of my family on both sides still live there. Like most cities in North Carolina, they are retirement cities, everything moves slow down there and there isn’t much for young people to do. Due to this, my parents moved from New Bern when I was about six months old, we moved to Maryland with my grandmother, my mom’s mother. We lived with her until my parents were able to get their own place. My grandmother loved that we had

I was born in a big city called Baltimore, MD, but raised in a small town called Saint Stephen, SC. My mother had to relocate in order to take care of my ailing great-grandfather. While working toward her

The way the story begins is probably the same as others. Obviously you are born and raised somewhere. Well my story began in Worcester Massachusetts. I was born on January 15th, 1995, to wonderful parents who people might think is not your usual mix. My mother is from the Dominican Republic and my father is from Ecuador. Yes, I know, the weirdest mix ever but it brought me into this world, so I'm proud.

Mathematics and science are my two best subjects, and have always excelled in my classes, however, English and literature has never been my strong-suit as it can be difficult for me. I don’t generally enjoy writing or reading, but I try to push past and earn a high grade anyhow. I’ve gotten much applause and praise from adults because of things I have done and achievements or goals I’ve met. My family, friends, and even teachers have given me motivation to keep going, and supported me along my

Through our values, heritage,and traditions, my family has created who I am today. Although we can be loud and crazy, we are also loving and have each other's back!

I was born in the spring, April 13, 2000 in Selma, Alabama. Selma is a very little boring town, where everyone knows everyone. It offers very little activities to young children. Then one day, I found myself at a place named the Sportsplex. At the Sportplex I watched my brother play baseball and girls play softball. I was very influenced by the sport. I knew it was something I

I was born in Ormond Beach, Florida on October 25, 1997. One year later, we moved to Cleveland, Ohio. It was there where my father completed his residency at the Cleveland Clinic and my little brother was born.

Many great things have happened in my life, great things are still happening to this day. I was born on June 7, 1943 to two of the most wonderful parents. Their names are Jones and Yolande Giovanni. They named me Yolande Cornelia Giovanni Jr., but everybody calls me Nikki. I was born in Knoxville, Tennessee. I had a awesome childhood, but I stayed sick. My nose always stayed stuffy. I had bad allergies when I was younger. When I got to stay home, I read and read. I had great friends and an awesome childhood.

I had mainly good grades up until I was in about fourth grade. I don’t know what it was or what happened, I guess I just stopped caring. I probably care about Global Studies the most as a class subject. It has always caught my interest. My least favorite subject is English. I certainly want to change

There are many different components that make up a family especially a big family. A common misconception is that all people in a family are similar, but the truth is that in order to have a family you have different people that love each other despite those differences. Most of the time the largest part of a family is the children, and the way that the kids interact is interesting. There are five different categories that siblings really fall into that make up a family.

What is a family? What parts make up a family? These two questions are questions that millions of adults and children ask themselves regularly. When people think about a family in their head they think of a nuclear family. Where you have a Mom, Dad, and a few kids running around a home in the middle of a suburban wasteland. That is the nuclear family that I feel most modern families strive to be like. But factors can change within a family and still be a family. I do not believe that a family is strictly based off what people see from the front porch looking in. A family is about the everlasting bond that is formed between a group of people whether they are related by blood or by other means. A family is a group of people who stick together during hard times and good times, they laugh together and they cry together. They eat meals together, party together, are weaved together in life. They are like a strip of palm leaves, and when you weave a bunch of them together it makes a basket, that is a family. The people that someone can call at two in the morning on a Wednesday just because they can’t sleep. The ones who would sacrifice anything to help them. The bond can never be broken because the word “family” holds them together like glue to wallpaper.
