The Second Of Four Children

Another unique aspect of my life is having a pastor for a father. Living as a pastor’s son has always been interesting, and this experience has allowed me to learn much about working with varying types of people from numerous walks of life. Being a pastor is not a high paying job, so I have also learned to be frugal and creative with money due to living in a low income

Being a daughter of immigrant parents has never been easy here in America. Both my parents worked excessively hard to be financially stable. Unfortunately at the age of ten my life changed. I learned that my parents no longer loved each other. The arguing and fighting my parents had, only damaged me emotionally. I was too young to grasp the idea that my parents were separating which become one of the hardest times for my mom to maintain my siblings and I. Shortly after, I began attending church and fell in love with the idea of getting closer to God. Luckily, my life took an enormous turn the moment I gave my life to Christ. God has opened numerous opportunities for my education. I am proud of all the accomplishments I have achieved in high

I am Melinda, a firm believer in Jesus Christ, so I strive to live righteously. Originally, we are from New Orleans, Louisiana, we are survivors of the trauma of Hurricane Katrina, however, since then we have moved a few times, and now we are residents of Florida. My husband and I have five wonderful kids. We are grateful to God for them being grown and on their own, as a result, traveling has become our new hobby.

I am the youngest of two daughters by two years, and live with my mom and dad. In my family, I’m the one who is the peacemaker. My family has taught me the importance of standing up for myself and others, and to be grateful for what I have. Both of my parents worked hard to give me the life I have now, and have taught me to work hard in life. My dad is a nephrologist, and works hard all day so that I don’t see him often, but when I do, he and I have a great time together. As a result of this, I value the time I spend with my family above almost everything else.

I have had a plethora of unique life experiences, many of which have happened in the last couple years of my life. In the past three years I have traveled to Guatemala, all over Germany, and Hawaii. During the summer of my freshman year of High School, I went on a missions trip to Guatemala. My church took 10 boys, and 10 girls; we spent a total of a week in a small impoverished town called . I believe that this trip allowed me, for the first time, to see, and be enveloped in a new culture. During the trip I ate new foods, played new games, and learned about the Guatemalan culture. I was able to spend time with all of the local kids, and learn how to respect a new culture. Then, this last summer, I was able to take a part in a German Exchange program with my school. After taking 3 years of German in High School, I was one of twenty people selected to go on a three-week long exchange program in Germany. The trip consisted of a week traveling with the 20 people chosen to go. The other two weeks were spent living with my host family and German partner. During my stay there I visited Berlin, Munich, Cologne, and traveled to the Netherlands. This was another chance for me to experience a new culture, and to further my German speaking skills. However, more importantly, it allowed me to make lifelong friends in another part of the world. About a month after I got back from Germany, my family went on a 12 day vacation to Hawaii. During my time there I had the opportunity to do a

I am Charlie Davisson. I am originally born in Tupelo, Mississippi. I was adopted at two weeks old by a Caucasian couple. Growing up as an African American in a Caucasian family I was looked at very differently from all of my peers. But, I did what I had to do in order to make it this far. I want to accomplish nothing short of what the Lord has planned for my life. I want to make sure I give Him everything I have because did the same thing for me. In my life I know I am destined to make it in whatever I want to accomplish. I have the work ethic and mentality to do so. My behavior is moving in the right direction of my life goals. It is not there yet, but it will get there.

Growing up in Dallas, I had a pretty good childhood. I grew up as a outgoing child, always smiling and laughing. My early years were very laidback and took everything one step at a time. I remember not wanting to go to my preschool on the first day, I was really nervous and didn't want to leave my parents. I also did attend preschool at the time, and I remember my first friend. His name was Joseph. He was super cool and so nice and we stayed friends for a while. I also remember one of my first vacations, and it was to Mexico. I really enjoyed it and i miss visiting my family there, but sadly i haven't been recently and I miss my

Being born in Jackson, TN life was different for me than those that grew up in the integrated societies in California or the yanks up north. My momma was always having me help around the house and cook, clean, and tend after my five younger siblings. My daddy ran a small farm that provided for our family. It wasn’t a lavish life by any means but we got by and had each other. Our family mainly grew corn on our farm but we had a couple of cows and chickens to keep the family fed throughout the year. Being the oldest child and a girl I mostly focused on helping momma around the house when I was at home, but my parents instilled a great faith in all of us children

I was born to a nondenominational Youth Pastor and a Medical Sales Representative on July 30, 1996 in a tiny town in the Philippines called Naga Growing up, I spent most of my time with my many cousins. There was always someone to play with and always something to do. When my dad got the opportunity to become the Head pastor at a church in Northern California he took it. In November of 2002 my mom quit her job, we packed up our belongings, said our goodbyes and moved to Fremont, California.

The great similarity between the two novels “The Fifth Child” and “The Shining” is very clear in terms of the type of the novel, story and events. Despite the similarity between the two novels, but the significance and purpose of both stories are completely different. It is clear that Comparison between the stories would be focusing on the events of the story and characters, also, both novels share the same essence of idea of story as there are many common things that are easy to compare between these two novels. The Fifth child novel is a realistic story embodies a family life and their suffering with a brutal child, in contrast, the shining novel is a classic and scary story that describe a haunted hotel and it is very

On July 28th 1996 I was born into a Christian family. Instead of America, I was born in China, in the city Jilin. It wasn’t until I was twelve that I had the opportunity to move to America for a better education

I love being around my family and friends. I believe that is one of the most important things we have and we need to cherish every moment we have with them. I love to help people, whether it be in monetary, volunteering my time, or donating food or clothing, to mention a few. I love to work with children and adolescents. I believe that they are in a very difficult phase of their life in which they need someone to help them and guide them. As for who I grew up with, I grew up with my biological family; we are six siblings, three girls and three boys. I am the youngest of six. I identify as a Hispanic Mexican American. I was born in the United States, but my parents were born in Mexico, therefore our culture is mixed between American culture and Mexican culture. I was born into a Catholic home, but when I was five or six years old my parents decided to go to the Christian

Wow, I don’t know what to say… I am fascinated with your story and find that it is quite similar in nature to mine. I to have never lived more then 5 years in one place. I was born in southern California, but have lived all over the world. Last year I spent one year living in Barranquilla, Colombia (finishing my BA in Modern Languages and Literature in Spanish at La Universidad del Norte) and was also fortunate to visit Panamá (I didn’t quite make it to Costa Rica, but I have always dreamed about visiting or living there.) So, I was wondering, it sounds like your parents were missionaries, or did they do some other type of work? As I mentioned in my profile, I spent ten years as a church planter in México (1996-2006) and started and pastored three churches, one in León, Guanajuato, another in Mérida, Yucatan, and another, which was the largest church of a few hundred people in Chihuahua, Chihuahua. My daughter Ruthie (18 yrs.) and my daughter Abbie (16 yrs.) were both born in México. It was such a special time in my life

I have grown up in an American, Caucasian, middle-class family of five. My parents have been married for 29 years and have two daughters and a son. My sister is 27, my brother is 25, and I am 20. My family has had many great experiences, but has also faced various challenges. Throughout our different experiences, our family dynamic has developed.

I’m Joseph, 22 years old student nurse at the University of Manitoba. I enjoy travelling, hiking, cooking, drawing, swimming and reading science fiction novels/comics. I always like to have fun and to seek adventure in life. I was born and raised by a loving and supportive family who values the importance of hope and sanctity of life. Our faith and religion had inspired us in so many ways especially in overcoming the problems we had in the past. Growing up as a child, I was full of hope, bliss and eagerness to mingle with the people around me with a desire to be accepted and be friends with everyone. Our culture also values the importance of close family ties and it helped me develop a strong bond with my parents. They have shown me for so
