He was born June 19, 1946 at St. Mary’s hospital. He is the fourth child out of six. He loved to play outside as a little kid, and always tested his mom limits. One of his most vivid memories as a child is when he got into so much trouble with his mom dragged him outside and spanked him with a yardstick. He lived on Godwin street “The best house I ever lived in” Donald stated. It had four bedrooms, one full bathroom, and a half bathroom.

Every day he had to drive his mom to her job then he would go to school. At school he met the love of his life Nancy Shotwell. Whenever he got to school early he would help girls bring their books to their lockers. The girls would think he would call him later but he never did, he just helped them for fun.

Don attended Aquinas college, and Nancy stayed at home sometimes attending classes at community college. At Aquinas Don studied history and he wanted to become a teacher.

In Unequal Childhoods: Class, Race, and Family Life, Annette Lareau discussed the extensive amount of research she conducted employing observational and interview techniques. She collected data on the middle class, working class, and poor families. She was trying to understand the impact of a child’s early parental guidance on the child’s life. She was able to conduct this research with 12 families, all of whom had fourth graders. She gathered enough information to conclude the major differences in the parenting styles of each type of family, which was directly correlated to socioeconomic status. Annette Lareau opens her book with two chapters to give the reader an idea on what the examples she gives will detail.

Andrew Jackson is one of the most controversial presidents. Many regard him as a war hero, the father of the Democratic Party, an inspiring leader, and a spokesman for the common man. While there is plenty to praise about the seventh president, his legacy is tarnished by his racism, disregard for the law of the land, cruelty towards the Native Americans, and ruthless temper. Jackson was an intriguing man who was multi-faceted. One must not look at a singular dimension, and cast judgment on him as a whole. To accurately evaluate one of the most complex presidents, it is crucial to observe Jackson from all possible angles. Prior lifestyle, hardships in life, political ideology, lifestyle of the time, political developments, and his character

No black school was available locally so he was forced to move. He said "Good-bye" to his adopted parents, Susan and Moses, and headed to Newton County in southwest Missouri. Here is where the path of his education began. He studied in a one-room schoolhouse and worked on a farm to pay for it. He ended up, shortly after, moving with another family to Fort Scott in Kansas.

Fred is about to get married to Rebecca, but then he bumps into Mickey, his best friend and first love from the past. Mickey is a single mother and has a son, Joe. She has her own flower shop. At first Fred doesn’t know how to react, because he let his past behind him (later in the book you’ll find out why. It’s about his strange dad, Miles, who killed someone and later killed himself). After the weird meeting after fifteen years in the toy store, Fred decides to get in touch with Mickey. They see each other a few times and they both have a nice time. Fred also likes Joe and vice versa. Mickey is starting to fall in love again with Fred and Fred is also a bit falling in love with Mickey, but he’s getting married in a few weeks! They don’t tell each other about their feelings. When Mickey and Joe make a trip to Rushton, the place where Mickey and Fred lived when they were young, Fred comes also to visit. Together they drag up nice stories from their childhood. They are almost having sex, until Mickey decides that it isn’t good when they’ll have sex. It’s not good for Joe, not for Fred, not for Rebecca and not for herself, because then she really would be in love with him again and they can’t have a relationship because of Rebecca. Fred thinks she’s right, but when he comes home again he tells Rebecca that he can’t marry her because of Mickey. In the end Fred tells Mickey (through long-winded ways) that she should meet him and “if you want to, you’d know where.” Mickey goes to Rushton, to the place where they first kissed, but he isn’t there.
