Intro: When I was six years old my biggest inspiration had left my life, my grandpa Stan. I was never granted the gift of knowing him too well or remembering, but what he had done with this life has stuck with me and will always guide me through life when I am lost. He left me with questions and answers for my life. He gave his life and family all he could, burning his greatness into me showing that I or anyone else can accomplish anything they can put their mind to.
P1: There is one part of my grandpa Stans life that has guided me through my life to this very day and will keep guided me on and it is his 110% effort he has always set on his life. Within his 30 years of working with STEELCASE he had never once been late to work, nor had he ever called in sick, or did not work. He was an outstanding worker giving others goals to never give up and stick through thick and thin. Not always did his car work or want to start to get him to work but that never stopped him once. If he had to which he had to, my grandpa used his two feet that he was born with walking to work for miles and miles, through snow, sleet, rain, or hail. It never stopped him, or made a thought go through his head to not go to work. That man could have been as sick as a dog but he still stuck through it making his way to work. This is something that sticks with me forever and always, it is something I think about when I wake up every morning at 5 A.M. to take the city bus to kenowa hills school zone so I can take the school bus to school. Before then I had to walk to my other bus stop or ride a bike through snow, rain or any weather conditions and ride or walk back to my home after school. I am just lucky because I am only a mile and a half that I had to walk compa...

Conclusion: This one person that no one would have guessed has set numerous life goals for me just by him living his life. He has made me realize how precious life is, only allowing us once chance to make an impact to the world around us, to peoples lives and he sculpted my life as if I were a ball of clay. He has pushed me to where I am today, a senior in Kenowa Hills High School. I would not be inches away from graduating if it was not for the impact he had on my life. He gave me the strength to want to go somewhere in my life. Showing me how great I can do for my family, when I do have one of my own, giving them everything I possibly can. Showing my kids, my family the way hopefully impacting their lives the way he impacted mine. My grandfather was one of a kind giving me such hope for my live with my goals.

Each person’s journey is unique, we live and experience different things that shape us to who we become. The beauty of interpretation is that we can make what we want out of life. My inspiration arises from my father’s life. A man whose education did not pass the 6th grade level. Who left his home country to have a better life. A person who was homeless at first, now has his own businesses and owns many houses. And although he has reached a point of his life where he can be selfish, is when he opens his heart the widest and extends his arm out to give you a hand. The moment that my father became my inspiration to accomplish and reach for bigger and greater things, is when he took us to his childhood
From their journeys as hardworking community leaders, I’ve learned how important upbringing is, because each of their childhoods affected how they function and work today. I’ve also learned that everything happens for a reason. If my dad had pursued the YMCA career and had not opened his own copy store, he would have never met my mom, because he did copy jobs for UniCare as one of his first transactions. If my parents had never owned the gift company, my mom would not have had the idea to open Blessings, or to even run it. I’ve learned that everything leads to everything-each experience in life has the opportunity to help make the next one better. In my life, I’ve looked to my parents for advice time and time again, and they’ve never disappointed. I can learn from their story to not focus on the one thing you want to do-I’ve learned to broaden my horizons and let new things and cultures influence me as much as possible. I’ve learned that a work ethic, strong character, and the utilization of my natural talents are my best assets, and to use them to my advantage in my career in whatever I decide to do. From this interview, I’ve learned more about my parents than I knew before. Their effect on me is measureless, and I am forever grateful for the lessons they learned that will help me in my growth as a person. Lori and Larry Bowdoin are incredible people, and I am so blessed to not
I believe that we all have a special hero in our lives that inspires us, but maybe we don’t always know who that person is. It’s the little, unnoticed things that they do that have the most critical effect in our lives. The person I chose was my mom because she inspires like no other person does. My mom, who is forty-eight years old, has brown hair, brown eyes and the nicest smile that can make anyone’s day brighter. She always tells me that she loves me and that she would anything for me. My mom, Carol Busse, is the person that inspires me most because she always tells me do the right thing and that I should never give up.
unexpected event in my life for me to realize the true meaning of a hero.
For this project I chose to “become” my mother April McCrary. She has inspired me to be the best person in life that I can be and to not take life for granted. She has overcame so many obstacles in her lifetime that have greatly impacted my future. She has always taught me to appreciate the little things and be nice to everyone. Like Atticus states in his quote you never really understand what a person is going through until you're literally in there shoes and know how it feels.
Something's that I went through that changed me and made me into the person I am today were some bad times and good times. Growing up I lived on Warren and I played football for the Detroit Titans. I had a stepsister and stepbrother that lived with me as siblings of my home. We did everything together as if we were blood. Playing football taught me to never give up no matter what the case was.
But the person I mostly look to for inspiration is my dad. I look up to my dad because he has always been there with me through tough times. Just like Theodore Roosevelt I suffer asthma and my dad has been there to help me. He comes to as many as my sports games as possible cheering me on in the stands and taking me on amazing vacations with my family. He also plays with me all the time and helps me with homework when I need it. My dad inspires me because he has won many awards including Emmys and inspires me to do great things in my life ahead of
P1 Life was blooming in my childhood. Every second was memorable and the thoughts that went through my head were delicate and unharmed. As time went by there was difficulties and times of unhappiness. Despite the several occasions that changed my views it helped in a posi,tive way since those stormy times had helped me become a person that i acknowledge today
My father passed away in 1991, two weeks before Christmas. I was 25 at the time but until then I had not grown up. I was still an ignorant youth that only cared about finding the next party. My role model was now gone, forcing me to reevaluate the direction my life was heading. I needed to reexamine some of the lessons he taught me through the years.
I don't have a lot of fantastic memories of childhood. There were no spectacular family adventures, no unique family projects that taught some sort of moral lesson, no out-of-the-ordinary holidays. We ate family meals together, but most of the time the children and adults lived in different worlds. The kids went to school, did homework, and played; the adults worked. I was lucky, though. When I wanted a little of both worlds, I could always turn to Grandpa.
I was assigned to do an autobiography for english class. It took me some time to think of stuff and things that have influenced my life. I thought over my life for a while. So to get things started I 'm going to talk about the most influential man I ever got the privilege to meet, My Grandpa. Ed Hansen
My grandfather was my inspiration. He changed my view of life. I want to follow his footsteps and do whatever I can to make the lives of others better. He helped me realize how amazing giving was. He always put a smile on my face, and I wanted to do the same for someone else. I want to give back, and make the world a better place like he did. He made me who I am today.
