On March 7, 1997, one specific man was born to be the best person that he could. On this day, my mother Cheryl Adams came in to McKennan Hospital to get her water broken at 8:00 a.m. With no difficulties but a lengthy labor, a baby boy made his way into the world. At 6:34 p.m. at McKennan Hopsital in Sioux Falls, SD, my mother delivered a healthy baby who weighed in at 7 lbs.and 7 oz. and measured 21’’. I inherited brown hair and hazel eyes. The full name given to me was Mitchel Ray Gordon Adams. My mother Cheryl and father Don liked the name Mitchel. My middle names were given to me because Ray was the middle name of my father, and Gordon was the middle name of my grandfather. Don and Cheryl were very ecstatic about their first born and were ready for the adventures that they were going to have with me. Because I was the first born in the family, my parents also had a handful to keep me in line. Mom was working in Student Loans at Wells Fargo, and Dad was working at Muth Electric at the time of my birth. Our first home was 304 W 8th St in Hartford, South Dakota. My cousin Matt was born exactly a week after me and weighed just about the same as I did. An enormous amount of headline news, sports, entertainment, fashions, and fads occurred on March 7, 1997. In local and state news of March 7, 1997, a man was sentenced in an auto homicide. A 19-year-old Humboldt man was found guilty of causing the death a girl from Hartford. Brandon Lee Brahrus was driving drunk when he struck another car that was driven by Elizabeth Ruhlman. Brahrus had a blood alcohol of .12 which was .10 above the legal limit. His sentence included charges of vehicular battery and homicide (Gerrietts). A new $1.9 billion dollar budget limits pay ra... ... middle of paper ... ... move on because of distance he had to travel and not having the ability to see his children as much. He now works for a different electric company. I have lived at my house on 8th St. in Hartford for my whole life. Football and baseball used to be activities that I was involved in. Baseball was a hobby of mine that I played for nearly seven years. Football was a busy interest of mine, which lasted close to seven years as well. Now a junior at West Central, I am involved in many activities. I volunteer at St. George Catholic Church where I teach First Grade. Basketball is also a passion of mine, and I work every day to improve my game. It has been part of my life since I was seven years old. Hy-Vee is my current place of employment, and I work in the Frozen Food section. I plan to go to a four year college where I hope to go into medicine or business.
On June 7th 2008, Sarah May Ward was arrested for the murder of Eli Westlake after she ran him over in a motor vehicle in St. Leonards. Prior to the incident the offender had been driving the wrong way down Christine Lane which was a one way street. Whilst this was occurring she was intoxicated, under the influence of marijuana, valium, and ecstasy and was unlicensed to drive. The victim and his brother who were also intoxicated, where walking down the lane and where nearly hit by the offender. This prompted the victim to throw cheese balls at the car and make a few sarcastic remarks regarding her driving ability. After a brief confrontation between the two parties the victim and his brother turned away and proceeded to walk down Lithgow Street. The offender followed the victim into the street and drove into him while he was crossing a driveway.
Bob’s side of the family, Reva Heidi, or as I refer to her: Mema. I also met Aunt Melanie, Uncle Steve and my cousins: I instantly became friends with one of my cousins, Lonnie, as he also enjoyed watching Star Wars films and playing with LEGO bricks. That year, I also entered first grade at Highland Rim Elementary School, which as of now, I consider my favorite academic institution. Despite not easily making friends, I admired my teacher, Mrs. Peggy, as she frequently challenged our class with A.R. testing; these tests initiated my hobby of reading. Then in 2009, my dad and stepmom adopted a newborn girl, Serenity; she is currently seven years old. For the next few years, I considered my life exceptional, although several frustrating events
Early in the morning, twenty four years ago on the twelvth day in the month of July, a baby boy was born at St. Mary's hospital in Athens, Georgia. The Pollock household of three had grown by one. Jennifer, the new boy's three year old sister, had already named him. The new boy was to be called Jody Lamon Pollock. Jody was the name she picked, and Lamon was the mother's father's name. So this is how I came to be Mr. Jody Lamon Pollock.
Sports has been a passion of mines since I was a kid. It was not until the end of tenth grade that I realized how much basketball had influence my. Playing basketball is a way for me to escape from the real world. Playing basketball made everything feel better and made me happier. It also taught me valuable life lessons, such as never given up on my dreams whether it seems impossible. I can not imagine my life without sports and what a better way but to work in the sports industry. My personal goals for getting a degree in Sports Management is to go professional and give back to the community. The reason I want to give back to the community is to help kids find what they love young and let that be their inspiration to be better and to dream
Each game, my passion grew. Each team, new memories and lifelong friends were made. Sports sometimes make me feel disappointment and at loss; but it taught me to be resilient to a lot of things, like how to thrive under pressure and come out on top. Being the team captain of my high school’s football and lacrosse team showed me how having a big responsibility to bring a group together to work as one is compared to many situations in life. Currently playing varsity football, varsity lacrosse, and track I take great pride in the activities I do. Staying on top of my academics, being duel enrolled at Indian River State College, working three nights a week, and two different sport practices after school each day shaped my character to having a hard work
Staff, Educational. “The History of Drunk Driving Laws in the U.S.,” LifeSafer, 22 January 2013,
I was born on August 29, 1994 in Pleasanton, California. Pleasanton is a city near San Francisco. My mom separated from my birth father while she was pregnant with me and had a difficult pregnancy. I was born six weeks premature and spent five days in the neo-natal intensive care unit. I was released from the hospital when I was one week old. My brother, Justin, is eighteen
For years, I have always focused my energy and time into studying and being successful for my future. I never participated in any activities in or outside of school. I would sometimes help my dad and mom take care of the housework because they have to work hard to keep the house financially stable. Maintaining a 3.7 or higher GPA throughout my middle and high school years, I was very happy with my academic accomplishments. In my sophomore year, my vice-principal and counselor encouraged me to join an after-school activity so that I would be qualify to be a member of the National Honor Society during my junior year. I gave a lot of thought to this during sophomore year, and I decided that I should at least try one sport. I joined the baseball team, but because of my lack of skills, I was cut from the team. However, I did not give up because my motto is "Once you give up, you give up everything including life." I always go by this simple principle and this is what keeps me going on even today.
Outside of fencing, I am heavily involved in both Speech and Debate and Cross Country for my Highschool, while balancing both my fencing and school work. In Cross Country, one of the major goals is to get on varsity as I was very close last season. In Debate I am excited to become a leader to many incoming freshmen, helping them become fluent in the various debating techniques. In school, my favorite classes are Science and English as in Science you learn about all sorts of intricacies of life, and in English, you are able to craft words to both create convincing and wonderful works of writing. I also am starting to volunteer at my public library as I have always loved reading and I enjoy both teaching and helping people experience the joy
On July 9, 1988 I was born into this world. I was the youngest of three. I have an older sister and brother. My mother is Caucasian and my father was biracial with African American and Indian. I grew up in the country but urban area of Byhalia, MS. My father owned a warehouse and worked daily so my mother could dependent on him and be a house wife. Out of my siblings I was truly a daddy’s girl.
Currently right now I am in HOSA and DECA. I've done community service for HOSAS breast cancer awareness at granger's football game against West high. Joining these clubs and doing volunteer work is a good way to start off my college application looking good. I love to hike, to explore new things Mother Nature has out for us. I also love to play soccer, I played it for two years in middle school. After that I stopped playing. I wanted to join grangers soccer team my sophomore year, but since it had been awhile since I played I was nervous to tryout so I backed out.
“Only mothers can think of the future - because they give birth to it into their children.” ~ Maxim Gorky. My mom use to tell me that I was her miracle baby, that the day was perfect when I was born. March 20th 2002, at exactly 11:40 a.m, my mom saw me for the very first time; at that moment she knew that I was a girl, her little girl. My mom likes to tell me that she can remember that exact day in Jasper at Memorial Hospital, that it was perfect how my mother was able to sign Danica instead of the name my father wanted. When she signed Suzanne Anderson and my father Randall Kleeman she told me that my dad was so happy that tears rolled down his cheeks and onto my birth certificate. Even though I had some complications, with
I participate in various extracurricular activities. Since the age of 4, I’ve played piano and have greatly enjoyed it; over the past 6 months I took a break to pursue softball and tennis but I plan to resume it soon. I am currently the President of FRMS’s NJHS chapter. I enjoy spending time with my family through hiking and biking. I am also a dedicated Chicago Cubs and Chicago Blackhawks fan and enjoy watching their games with my family (Please don’t hold this against me). Since the age of 9 I’ve played softball and I hope to play in high school. I started tennis about 7 months ago and, with the exception of December, dedicate at least 6 hours a week of practice. I am also an avid reader. Recently, I’ve been exploring classic literature reading
As a child, I learned many things about myself including which movies, sports, people, etc. that I liked and disliked. Through learning experiences, I discovered what was truly important to me, and I realized what I needed to do to do to make my dreams come true. Most importantly, I decided that I should attend a prestigious university like Georgia Institute of Technology and play Major League Baseball. Throughout high school, I have worked diligently both academically and athletically, and through this journey, I developed a strong Christian faith, participated in several clubs and sports, and pursued a couple enjoyable hobbies.
Twenty years ago, I was delivered by my grandpa in the small Fillmore County Hospital. My parents agreed on the name Brittney Lynn Reinsch, naming me after my grandpa. As you can tell, my family is very close knit. My grandpa has been my doctor since before I was born, everyone lives no more than three hours away from each other, holidays consist of two days of family, and everyone hugs before leaving. I am a very lucky girl as I get to have three families. One coming from each my mom, my dad, and my stepdad. Living with my mom, I grew up in Sutton, Nebraska, a town of 1,500. My mom and stepdad were both teachers in Sutton and knew everything from parent’s gossip throughout the town and the students whispering in class.
