I am half Jamaican and half American. I am a person of many backgrounds. I am open about my life. I like to play FIFA with my friends. I like to listen to Kanye West; I can recite one lyric from every one of his songs from every album. I have a small circle of friends, and I keep all of them close and dear to my heart. My family is my backbone, and if it wasn’t for them, I wouldn’t be the man that I am today or where I am at in life. I’m a brother, older and younger. I like Rap, Indie, and Reggae music. I love the life I live. I love the people I have connected with. I believe that justice will always prevail. I have faith in humanity. I know that people can change; it just has to be seen within them. I take what I am giving every day and I run with it. I believe in finding happiness in the purest forms.

I have a higher respect for authority and the law they are the ones who protect us, and if it wasn’t for them some of us wouldn’t be here. I love dogs; I had a German Short Haired Pointer who was my best friend and a real companion. I respect nature, and the trees. I think that God made everything for a reason except spiders. The dear Lord could’ve done with those eight-legged freaks, but who am I to judge our creator. I like to think that I am funny at times, but I have been told otherwise. I have been always told I am very blunt and to the point that is a downside of mine, but I have been told I have a very open and kind heart. I think the key to success in life is to find your happiness and

  • Personal Narrative: My 2000 Toyota Cousin

    555 Words  | 2 Pages

    I believe in doing what you enjoy. I believe in not letting others influence what you like. I had a cousin once tell me that getting a longboard was stupid and I’d never use it, it’s now something I ride very often. A group of my friends and I would go ride two or three times a week. Before I got in a car accident and my car was totaled, my friends often joked my 2000 Toyota Corolla was a piece of junk, I wish I still had that instead of a 2006 Highlander. It had character, the couple of pins holding the cloth up, the old side mirrors that you had to adjust with a lever on the inside. It was my first car and I didn’t care what it looked like or what people said, it was mine and I loved driving that old thing. I firmly believe that if you want to dress or look a certain way, then you do it. I have family and friends tell me I should cut my hair, but it’s what I like and it’s my hair so I’ll do what I like. People telling me to cut it makes me want to keep it even more. Freshman year I would wear shorts in the winter, everyone would tell me it was stupid, and I was crazy, but it was what I felt comfortable in and it was my choice. I respect people that stand up for people that stand up for what they believe, even if they’re the only one. The people that hold firm, no matter the consequences. A recent example is the students at the community college in Oregon. Those students knew that if they said “Yes I am a Christian” they would be shot, and they didn’t let it affect them, they held firm in what they believe. I can’t imagine having a

    I focus my attention on the outer world. I love being around people and listening intently to their stories and what they have to say. When I was younger, I would go fishing with my grandfather for hours just to listen to his stories and the life lessons he poured into me. I enjoy organizing people and events, I take pride when events run smoothly. I pride myself on being loyal and conscientious, following through in everything I do. I strongly value security and stability, my parents have been my rock throughout my life. Without my family, I would not be the person I am today. Additionally, I base my decisions on my strong values. Interested by the lives of others, I will do everything I can to make their life as good as it can be. I hate when people desire to be included but are too shy to step out of their comfort zone. For instance, at lunch when someone is sitting alone I go and sit with them no matter if they want me there or not. Everyone needs a friend, I cherish making someone’s day just a little better. God commands us to live like him, being unkind and pretending to be different from the world is not the way to live a Godly life. I am very sensitive to the needs of others and enjoy caring for them. I get great satisfaction from attending to people. There is so much hurting in this world, I try to do my part and just help those around me. I may not be able to change the world overnight, but God can
