But I had some of my friends to help me through it. And as the year went by my classes got a little harder. As the year progressed

My life has been consistently inconsistent since the day I was born. I have been moving from place to place, without staying anywhere for more than four years. As a result, the setting of my life is always changing, and by extension, the people, places, and experiences are ever changing. In some cases, this is pleasant, but in others, it poses problems. My life is comparable to "The Odyssey" in the categories of "Calypso" (temptations), "Athena" (helpful guides), and "Ithaca" (values and goals)

Basketball was always a very important part in my life. Between constantly being told to practice more and getting on myself, basketball was always on my mind.

the beginning of my grade 10 year, and when I look back to this, I think it was one of the best decisions I have ever made. DECA has made a substantial impact on my life by instilling confidence in me when publicly speaking, enabling me to think on my feet, and changing me from the shy girl at the back of the class into one who loves to meet new people and engage in random discussions. Grade 10 was my step out of the comfort zone year in which I experimented with my weaknesses and my strengths. This

narrate their own life Narratives of a person’s life are a story of the self and at the same time, a perspective of a self. These narratives include an event or situation, the narrator, and the feelings or the ideas that the narrator is expressing to the reader.

My father would occasionally allow me to sit on his shoulders. With a smile on my face and my legs dangling in the vast expanse between my feet and the ground, I felt like the king of the universe. I would look up into the clear night sky and the stars gave me warm glances. They seemed to tell me that one day, I would be like them.

My biggest influence isn 't a relative or a celebrity, as it might be for most people. Mike Anderson, an author, photographer, and church leader, has had a major influence on me in several ways.
