How My First Truck Changed My Life

The most outstanding moment of my life so far is when i got my first car.It was a cool March morning in Pensacola Florida.I had my drivers test at eight thirty in the morning at the DMV on W street.As i got to the DMV ,we checked in for my appointment we had made.Soon the instructor came out and told me it was my turn.As nervous but as ready as i could be,i followed him out to my car.After he checked to make sure all safety requirement were checked,i began my test.All i could remember was what my parents had told me.¨If you pass your drivers test you will get a car.¨.When i finished my test,i had only missed 9 points.So i went back into the DMV and took my picture for my license.On my way back home my mom said ¨we have something for you.¨.As

My grandpa got the deal of a lifetime on his truck. He only payed $ 800 it doesn't have a motor in it. My grandpa, my uncle Jack, and I worked on the truck

During our first run Taylor and I noticed that the car was turning way to the left. So in order to fix this we started our car as far to the right of the track as possible. After our first trials we realized that we needed to fix our string. We needed to cut the string we had attached off of our car and make a new one. When we made a new one me made it a little bit longer than the car and only hot glued it to the hook, not to the frame. Our new string had a loop in the end of it so we could put that on the toothpick. So now we understood that the toothpick did have a real purpose and we couldn’t glue the string to the mousetrap. After we made these changes we ran our car three more times.

The Biggest accomplishment of my life was getting accepted into Tulsa Technical College (TTC). It has become the largest stepping stone of my life and has helped push me forward into my future as a nurse. Tulsa Tech has taught me the skills needed to go out into the medical field, helped me act like an adult and to take pride in my work, and it has offered me the ability to go out and get a nursing job after high school.

For my Senior project, I've been working on a custom restoration of a 1977 dodge power wagon d150 while expanding my knowledge of mechanical work. I wouldn't have been able to do any of this without my amazing father who has immensely helped throughout the project and taught me new skills. The ultimate goal is to improve on the truck and its general qualities while also enhancing its off-roading capabilities.

studying but the only thing he enjoy was driver his brand new Camaro when he was in high school. My mother also enjoy going to school and studying but she wouldn't study that much because she was always with her friends. My mother would spend her free time going to movie theatres with were friends while my father would go to parties and played soccer. But what they both enjoy doing was going out and play bowling ball with each other.

Anyone who knows me, will most likely know that I am a car nut. I can name a very wide variety of cars, from American cars to import cars, junkers to supercars. I am also really into trucks also. It is funny, because I used to despise it when people lowered them, Now I wonder why?

I come from a small town and a family who hasn’t always had luxurious things but has never went without the things we must have. For that I will forever be grateful. Watching my father and mother struggle to provide for my sisters and I strongly motivated me to want to earn a higher education. I hope to have a career that I both enjoy and that allows me to provide many things for myself and future family. I know that because of my family’s financial stability this will not because easy.

I couldn’t imagine my automobile being stolen. It was an ordinary vehicle without glamour. Even though, I experienced problems, the vehicle was mine. Consequently, I felt a sense of hurt and disbelief without a vehicle. Who would have imagine to be placed in this situation.

My first vehicle is an 2001 Toyota Prius, a well loved car that is almost always dirty inside. My Prius holds a dear spot in my heart and I believe the car is the reason hybrids mean so much to me. My interest on hybrids began when my father once told me that one must think of hybrids as a computer with four wheels. Anytime my car broke down, the first thing I would do is turn the car off and back on. This simple troubleshooting could be the easy solution to fix the issue. But as I have aged, my thoughts have turned to how hybrids change the environment, instead of just being intrigued with the mechanisms of how they work. During this course, I want to explore how the environment is changing due to the creation and use of hybrids.

This year was a major stepping stone as i have began transitioning into a more independent adult, one my proudest achievements. In my second semester of junior year, I was given the task of taking the SAT and to start thinking about where I should further my education after high school. Another important milestone for me this year was finally passing my road test and receiving my driver's license. Despite the heavy amount of stress these tasks put on me, I was definitely pushed as an individual to complete them on my own, teaching me self

Racing 150 miles per hour through the streets of California in 80 thousand dollar cars; that’s my life and ill take you through the beginning. It all started when I was in high school one day after school I seen my friend Jake with a 1994 Toyota Supra. I swear that car had everything done to it, it easily could have had 80 thousand dollars worth of parts in that car. I was amazed and was so curious how he got the money for that car. He told me to meet him at the body shop on North Avenue at 9 o’clock. He picked me up there and we went to this street where tons of amazing cars were lined up. We drove up next to this Mazda and then everyone started cheering and going wild. Jake looked at me, smiled, then asked “are you ready?”. Then this girl

From then on, my homeboys and I had in our heads that we had to work hard to get what we want, whether it be receiving a reward for honor roll, being recognized by others for events, or just having the ability to know that we can go to the next level at something in life . This message has never gone out of my head since that day. My main focus, goals and priorities have just changed, though slightly over time. It used to be the biggest race, now it's getting into college to further my future, and later it will be landing a stable job in my field of work. There are a lot of different types of success, though; success doesn't always have to lead to a good, well-paying jobs, it goes way beyond that in many ways. Growing up around a very successful family and also friend its kind of hard to fall out of line because you want to keep up the good work most of all at the end of the day you don’t want to fail and be a disappointment. Achievement and success can bring a lot of stress and pressure and can also make people do stuff they do want to do under certain measures. Success and achievement do not come easy by any means it all takes patience and dedication, but at the end of the day hard work gets you there self motivation

My greatest accomplishment thus far, has been getting high grades in college. Accomplishing this required: patience, dedication, tenacity, stamina, and confidence. It took patience because there were long hours that were dedicated to homework and studying. It took dedication because I had to continually tell myself that it would be worth it, even when it was difficult. It took tenacity because I knew that I couldn't accept anything less than my best. It took stamina because there were a lot of late nights and just a lot of time in general to complete everything that was required of me. Lastly, it took confidence because if I didn't believe that I could, it would have made it a million times harder.

I was born Dennis Laverne Horn Jr. on November 19th, 1978 in Dodgeville, Wisconsin. I was supposed to be a New Year’s baby, but decided to arrive two months early, and came in at a whopping three pounds! My mother and Father had just returned from a week long run in the semi when mom started having a stomach ache. My father likes to remind me that they had stork instead of turkey that Thanksgiving, and thus began my journey in life and who I am today.
