grew up in Chicago, Illinois, a beautiful city surrounded by violence and controversy by the media. I found things more simple when I was kid growing up here, there wasn't much to worry about but as I got older things became more complex here. The sounds of the " L "' or as you know it as, The Train, and the roaring sounds of cars passing by my house made me feel alive while growing up and as a matter of fact still does. You could wake up in the morning and see the vibrant blue skies being pierced by the skyscrapers and see other kids playing ball or riding their bikes. When it was summer time I would play ins sprinklers or go downtown and play in the fountains with my family. Of course, like most big cities I had to watch my back while growing up because you never knew what somebody was up to. It's weird really growing up here because you never know what's going to happen next , wether it's a good thing or a bad thing. All I can really say about growing up in Chicago is that if I had the chance to redo it, I'd do if a million times.

I was given the name Chase Andrew Miner. My mom had liked the name Chase and Chance, but she finally decided on Chase. While that decision wasn’t too hard for her to make, (at least she said it wasn’t) my last name, Miner, was an even easier decision. My mom was married to my dad and she took his last name, so the obvious last name would be Miner. My mom told me she had a really difficult time figuring out a middle name for me. She couldn’t find a name that fit in well. One day my aunt, Lori, called my mom and asked about the name Andrew. My mom had thought about it and she decided that that name fit. So from that day I was Chase Andrew Miner. The joke my mom says now is if she knew she’d have to chase me so much, she would have named me Slow. But word got around of what

I was born in Lubbock, Texas at the local hospital and was immediately welcomed into the world by my loving parents and caring big sister. Most of my early childhood was spent moving from town to town in the panhandle of Texas. However, when I turned eight-years-old I traded the endless plains of the Texas panhandle for the lakes and trees of Bridgeport, Texas. This is the place where connected with the local community and grew closer with my family.

Inglewood, CA is the city that helped shape me into the young man that I am today. Through everyday life I was surrounded by examples whether they were bad or good, but I feel they shaped me for the better. Although growing up I was not as privileged as others I learned how valuable love and loyalty really is. I did not always have all of the “wants” but I had everything that I needed to grow. There was a choice in every situation growing up and there was also consequences for each action. I learned at an early age that wrong choices can have tremendous and detrimental consequences ranging from jail or an early funeral. Luckily I have family that loved me enough to help me stay away from these horrid actions. Knowing that life can be cut short at any moment has helped me take advantage of the time I have and

To begin, Forsyth, Illinois was my hometown. It was where I was born and where I was raised most all my life. I went to a small school district called Maroa-Forsyth. It was where I attended school until the end of middle school. I went through school with the same set of friends for all my school years. They were really good friends that I had a lot of great memories with. Also, some of my family lives there as well. My aunt, uncle, two cousins and my grandparents.

“What’s in a name?” This famous quote said by Juliet in Shakespeare’s play “Romeo and Juliet” has had people thinking ever since they first heard it. While some cultures have names that have super deep and mystical meanings, other places have names that might have little to no hidden meaning. Without names, how would we be able to communicate with each other effectively? It would be next to impossible.

My hometown is located about twenty miles south of Portland, Oregon. With that said it is assumed that my hometown; Canby would be influenced by the big city. But, it still holds its country setting.

Other than the fair they had celebrations for almost every holiday in the center of town. Canby has a lot of restaurants! These restaurants range from Mexican to MacDonalds. Growing up in Canby was always lots of fun and i wouldnt of wanted to grow up anywhwere

My sister, there is no way to explain how important she is to me. Of course she's annoying , but my life would be so boring without her. She's the light in the darkness I honestly wouldn't know what my life would be like without her I can't even imagine it. She is my Michigan hero.
