Personal Narrative: My Bio

I have picked my grandfather Darrell Madden because he is the only close person I have in my life that is over the age of 64 years old, I debated for some time picking someone I work with even though we are not as close as my grandfather and I. My final decision to pick him was a reality of the fact that not many people have met someone in their life who is like my grandfather. Darrell Madden was raised in the hills of Kentucky with his 11 brothers and sisters, as Darrell Madden explained growing up with 11 sibling means that there was no money for even the necessities and you had to make do with what you had. The Madden family actually had running water unlike everyone else that lived around them. Darrell Madden also picked to stay in school

Joseph Lartey that is the name of the person who inspires me. He has been though it all but he never lost hope. Joseph is my younger brother I saw him make all the bad choices but he rose above it all.

I don’t really know the reason why they got a divorce, but when they did, I was devastated, because my mom has a lot of children to hang out with her and my dad only has three children, my two younger siblings and I, and I’m pretty sure none of us know how to drive. I always fear to this day since their divorce that when I’m at the other parent's house for the week that the parent that whose house I’m not at will pass away and I won’t know because they won’t be able to tell anyone. My older siblings don’t really visit my dad and he has no family in Idaho, they are living in Florida, and some of my older siblings live somewhere else. I only have three older siblings, they are all in different places, they live in Utah, Detroit, and Ucon.

For me in my life, two of the men who inspired me to be a

I got one of the greatest people in my life do to the single message that he sent and taking him up on that message. Without him I would be completely lost! He helped guide me in the right direction, made sure I always did the right thing and made the best decisions. He impacted my life an enormous amount, I would not be where I am today if he wants here with me to help. He taught me many thing, such as to never give up and always try and do your absolute best. Also pushed me to become successful life. One person can change your life, and make you who you

my lord and savior. Things in the past for me turned out not so good or should I say not as planned. Now

Someone who has always been important and has impacted me is my aunt Jojo. Jojo is my dad's oldest sister who lives 10 minutes from the rushing waters of the Atlantic, and you can smell the salt water of the Bass river. She has been a colossal part of life. Never married JoJo is in her 60s happily sitting in her one story house. When she was a kid and a young adult, women were expected to marry a nice young man and settle down, but JoJo decided to leave her mark instead of just being another girl. She went to Regis, a all girls school at the time, and was inducted into the hall of fame there for all three sports she played, golf, basketball, and softball. She is very intelligent as well (find some sort of awards). She inspires me to work hard

A person who has been a major influence on my intellectual life, has really helped shape who I am today, and helped me reach for my goals would have to be my paternal grandmother. She always encouraged me to do well in school and would tell me to focus on what I really loved and to push myself to achieve the things I love. She encouraged me to do well in school because it was her personality. She was a teacher for over forty years and she knew that getting the best education was the key to success, so that's why she stressed that point on me. Whenever I saw her or would talk to her on the phone, she would always ask how school was and if I were keeping my grades up. As her only granddaughter, I would always respond affirmatively because I knew

Do you have anyone you cherish and love? Can you think of someone who you could not live without? Have you stopped and thought about who inspires you? Do you know someone who has influenced you? For me, there have been three influential people in my life who I love and cherish. I know I could not live without them because they inspire me so much. Those people are my mom, papa, and my best friend Jessie. They have all influenced me in many ways.

What do I feel you should know about me? I think as myself as a well-rounded student all together. I think you should know that I enjoy English much better than math, and a large percent of my other classes. Sometimes, it takes me a moment or two to understand a new lesson. At other times, I catch on fast. It just depends on if I can wrap my head around the concept we are learning. When it comes to writing papers I tend to get writer’s block quite often; however, when I think of something to write, I try to stick with it and add more and more to that subject. Occasionally I procrastinate homework (don’t we all), but I try to stay on top of things. I do make sure to get all of my homework in on time.

I have since had to get a second phone to talk to my dad due to being caught in the middle of their feud. Both of my parents have each done their fair share of raising me. My dad made sure I was taken care of all these years. He’s bought me the standard things needed to raise a child: food and clothes, and things I would rarely ask for like an iPad, and a new computer recently all, while he’s been on a strict budget. My mom is no different she’s bought me clothes, takes me out of town every once in a while, takes me out to eat and shopping, and supports me no matter what. All in all I’m glad my parents are divorced, each has their own method to parenting and ultimately both want the best for me and my

Growing up with a father that was never around and a father figure that also left was hard, but it taught me that I don’t need a father to rely on. I have myself and my mom, and as long as I don’t forget who I am I

Have you ever had someone in your life who helped you figure out who you were? Someone who showed you the right path. Someone who was there right next you even if you did not take that path. Someone who always seemed to be right, but never held it against you when you were not. Someone whom without your life would most likely be entirely different. I have. Her name was Jessica.

In life you have many people who influence you. Some aare good influences and some are bad influences. Although, the one person who influenced my life most would have to be my father. My father sacrificed alot in his lifetime to make his children's lives better. I adore my father he is a strong confident man and loves his family unconditionally. I have become the person I am today because of my father.

Grandma- Probably my chemistry teacher because I talked to him, I was having a really hard struggle and he said “Don’t worry about it, I’ll get you through chemistry”. Mr. Rudolf has always been my hero because without chemistry I couldn’t get into the nursing program, so I will always remember him.
