Named Walker Edward West by my mother, Shannon, due to her interest in the works of Walker Percy. After naming my older brother Wyatt she had figured it’d be dandy to name all of her boys with western names considering our last name was West although, I was they’re last child. Born and raised in Maui, Hawaii to a rather wealthy family I grew up attending the private school Montessori where they encouraged creativity over traditional education. This put me ahead of others in some situations yet as a result I lacked with studying and deadline skills which my grades showed once I enrolled in Seabury Hall School of Maui an intense college prep school. I still have trouble with meeting deadlines and being prepared even as I enter my Junior year …show more content…
My parents refused to send him to the public schools of Hawaii which are quite terrible, at the time the government couldn’t even afford to pay they’re teachers for Fridays. Despite the dumb ass he was my parents wanted the best for him. Over the summer they considered they’re options and in the end decided to move to the friendly mountain town of Park City which had an outstanding public school system. By this time in my life I was no longer the child I had been growing up in Hawaii I was a teenager and I began to really question certain things. My family had never been overly religious. I often found myself questioning my parents on their beliefs which I always received mixed responses to. I’ve always wanted to believe in something although I’ve always wondered how could such a thing be true and if it is why is there no solid proof and or connection which leads me to my second song that I relate to “Heavenly Father” by Isaiah Rashad in this song he talks about how he feels far from god which I often feel while lying in bed late and night pondering life …show more content…
And they don't give me answers just a check
And they don't know my issues as a child
Because I was busy cutting on myself
And hanging from the playground wasn't wrong
Until you got a rope up on your neck
And I been losing more than just my mind
Gathering whats left of self-respect
And daddy why you call me while you drunk?
And why you never love me when I need it
And I don't wanna be like you no more
And I been tryna cope I'm getting weak

I smoke too much, the problems of a 20 something
I drink too often, there's liquor pouring from the faucet
You would assume by following the tunes
And I'm doomed to die young, addicted to dry plum
These bitches ain't shit and pussy is my greatest vice
I love smoking weed, I hate advice
I know some niggas that talk good
The wise men from a long line of bitch made and bridesmen
You never had nothing but fucking dreams
You just caught up in the hype
The fashion and so it seems, the

Just like him, I did not have much of a relationship with God when I was younger. It took a miracle to make me see that God was really there. He had the miracle of surviving the war, while I had the miracle of my younger brother surviving when all odds were against him. Before my brother went into the hospital, I did not think much of God. I had learned about him in school and was taught how he died so we could live, but my life never seemed very impacted by him in any way. He was someone I knew about, not someone I specifically believe in. However, once my brother got sick that all
Paul Walker was a movie star. Paul Walker is a good actor because he had potential to be the best. Let's start with his childhood. He was born in Glendale, California on september 12,1973. Paul loved the camera, he appeared on camera at a young age doing modeling and acting.
As a child, I grew up going to Catholic School, from Kindergarten, until eighth grade. My mother thought private school was best for my brother and I, as there’s a misconception that since you’re paying a tuition, the education is better. My mother was also Catholic at the time, so she was more comfortable with us growing up being taught religion, which should inevitably cause us to be Christians and believe in God. Years went by of me being educated on religion, and by the age of twelve, I felt guilty that I couldn’t process or accept the idea of there being a God. I came to this reality due to the fact that I didn’t feel the connection to God that our teachers taught us we should have; I didn’t feel loved by an alternate being, I felt alone, and I didn’t grasp how such a thing could be possible.
“I would sometimes go with mother to her office and Mme. Walker was my great-great-grandmother, but she was this larger than life figure. The silverware that we used everyday, when I was growing up, had her monogram and our china, for special occasions, had belonged to her. We had this big, beautiful, silver punch bowl that my mother made eggnog in, every year at Christmas time. So, I knew little things about Mme. Walker and obviously the business was still there, but I really more interested in her daughter, my namesake, A'Lelia Walker, who was part of the Harlem Renaissance, so I really did some of my first writing about her daughter, A'Lelia Walker. Then, when I was in graduate school at Columbia University in
I recognized them at once. There was Roy, who'd been shot in the arm in the first White Raiders attack, and Leander Purneau from the cotton gin.
I personally thought the autobiography on Lou Ann Walker and her life was quite fascinating to read. It was also very disheartening to read what she have had to go through with so much negativity and ignorance that she endured from others just because Lou Ann's parents were deaf. Lou Ann also had to deal with that within the deaf community from others looking down on deaf people that she was trying to help, regardless of what the situation was. It's pretty amazing that she was still positive and had to fight through all of that drama alternating the issues in the both worlds and even herself too, the whole identity crisis. A normal person wouldn't be able to handle that kind of life she had, being expected to help out constantly and interpreting
“If one day speed kills me, don’t cry because I was smiling.” Most of us know that famous line came from none other than the late Paul Walker. Paul William Walker the fourth was born in Glendale, California on September 12, 1973. In Paul’s young life, he attended elementary school at Village Christian School in Sun Valley, California and played sports such as surfing and soccer. He also got a young start in acting and modeling. Paul Walker modeled and did commercials as a toddler and did his first film, “Monster in the Closet,” in the fourth grade. His acting career continued throughout his high school days at Village Christian School, and his college days at a community college in California. However, college didn’t last long when Paul Walker
There was many factor that led to my initial encounter with god one was my father death. Other was the questions of a teenage looking for his place in the world and other factor was the hate I had toward god. The death of my father was hard for me for so many years. All the question I want to ask him all the thing I want to do with him I never got a change to do. This made me want to know why god would take a father form his son whom look up to him. My hate toward god was one factor to because the more I hated him the more I would find myself look in the word trying to find out why god would take my father. The most important factor I think was the fact that I was a teenage and was feeling like I don’t belong to anything. I was good at sport and have a good time at that. I know there was more to me than just sports. I was quiet and shy and look like I was mad at the world all the time but I know that was more to me.
In a less black and white representation of myself, my name represents a currently nineteen-year-old female who was born into a loving family. I have a mother, father, older brother, and in a sense adopted older brother. My mother’s name is Alicia, my father’s Richard, my brother’s Derek or D.J., and my ‘brother’s’ Caleb. My parents had guardianship over Caleb for seven years before he became emancipated. He didn’t want to feel like a burden on our family; he never was. I like to write, but I don’t like to read unless something really interests me. I love all of the arts and play all woodwind, string, and percussion instruments. I can’t ride a bike or play chess; I could at one point but have forgotten since getting a concussion when I was little in karate. I just haven’t been interested in learning these skills again. My brother, D.J., has autism. He has affected my life in many ways. It was through him I discovered my major. One day, I hope to be a Speech-Language Pathologist and specialize in working with children. I would like to get married and have children someday as well. My name holds my relationships, my hopes, and my dreams.
As a child, I was very quiet, observant and obedient. I would attempt to excel in everything I did in order to make my parents proud.Up until I was a teenager, I followed their will without excessively questioning their decisions. I was raised to have faith in God, go to Church and do as I was told. I spent 12 years of my life going to Church with too many unanswered questions. I didn’t know why I had to attend church, I didn’t understand how this so-called God we believed in was so powerful and why he wouldn’t make world peace possible if he was as amazing as he was perceived. None of it made sense to me. During school my favorite books to read consisted of primarily non fiction books about animals and the world in general, mythological, and books concerning the supernatural. I have always been intrigued by unexplained stories, but in the end, although I acknowledged the slight possibility of supernatural existence, I also understood the difference between facts and mere theories. During summer, my reading list consisted of fables and biblical stories. To me, everything I
Growing up, my life was somewhat sheltered compared to the lives of other people my age. I was raised by both my mom and dad in a Christian household, in which I was taught morals based upon our faith. As a result of this upbringing, my parents and I made the decision to enroll me in a private Christian school in sixth grade. In this setting I was protected from the influences of the outside world. All of the language, violence, and temptations were around me, which I began to recognize as I entered my freshman year of high school. Even the walls of the highly respected establishment could not keep the real world out.
The summer after I completed the 6th grade, my parents decided to pull me out of my Baptist, private school and homeschool me. I, like most kids, was not thrilled with the decision, but being only 11 years old, I had no say in the matter. Despite my initial reservations, being homeschooled was a great experience for me, but I began to get bored. I missed seeing people every day. It was just me and my family. I was ready for a new experience, something big, and college was exactly what I was looking for. It was Sunday night, and there was a high probability that class would be cancelled. I prayed that that wouldn’t happen, however, it did. The
