On May 20,1996 I was born Damione Freeman growing up in a small city named Pell City. Growing up wasn't easy for me father was never around just leaving me with my mother. As a child I was always happy, caring, and well mannered. When I turned five I started living with my grandmother, Dianne Freeman and my uncle, Akeem Freeman. At the age of five I was torn away from my mother because of her husband and his issues.
Living with my grandmother I really didn't have much to do, I was always outside watching my uncle and his friends play basketball. I enjoyed playing the video game, and building model cars, or shooting cans with my bee bee gun. My mother always had me helping her around the house either cooking, cleaning, or ding yard
It was just another day in the town of Winchester and Abigail Johnson was preparing breakfast for her family. Abigail was a 15 year old girl in high school. She lived in a two-story house with her sister, mother, and father. Abigail and her family were extremely close, especially her and her younger sister, Emily. Abigail had a very busy life at school always being involved in sports, clubs, and after school activities.
Counting down the list from number 20 to eventual number 1, my heart raced as they called out the names. It was 8th grade and the rankings were out. This may seem like a rather pretentious achievement but when they called out the name “Andrea Campos” as the valedictorian of Copiague middle school. My heart skipped a beat and tears streamed down my face. Hearing my parents brag about me to their friends made me feel like my accomplishment was their achievement as well.
When I think about the person I am today I think about the people that have helped raise me. We all grow up with different experiences, environments, lifestyles, and people in our lives who help shape who we are. One person that has made a big impact in my life would be my nana and her name is Bea Wilson. She has been in my life since the moment I was born. My nana has shown me that you can make something good out of bad situation.

The new American hero (Just a quick look) Can you see the handsome young man sitting by my side, driving through the forest, behind the wheel of his decadent truck? Yes. I would trust him with my life (sip of vodka).
When I started high school, the club that excited me the most, was National Honors Society. So, at the first chance I got, in my sophomore year. After being a member for a year, I quickly realized that I wanted to take on a leadership opportunity in the club. So, I took a shot for the stars, and campaigned for being president of Honors Society. Though I had some competition, I put my all into composing a speech, and I won the presidency, and I have been president since.
Unknown Hi i’m Bella. I look like a happy go lucky African american woman. Well to all that say that they only got one part right in that whole statement. I’m an average african american woman. I have nothing and no one to truly call my own.
When I started to interview Wyonette I didn’t expect to see her the way she was. She had been slouched on her couch with a tired expression running through her body. Her make-up from the night before had made her eyes look like eyes of a Raccoon. She still had her outfit on from her night of partying. During the interview she only gave few worded answers and a few sentences here and there.
But first, I am going to tell you about my childhood. Growing up in Cairo, Georgia as an African American, was tough for me. I was born on January 31, 1919. My parents names were Jerry, and Mallie McGriff Robinson(Linge Timeline). In addition to that, it was still tough living in America as a African American, nothing has changed in those 7 years of my teen life.
On May 16, 2017 I interviewed Mrs. Newman about what it means to be American to her. Mrs. Newman is a Human Anatomy teacher who teaches at Anaheim High School. Furthermore, Mrs. Newman loves to teach about the human body and what are the pros about being the first to walk on Earth. Incidentally, Newman was relatable towards being an immigrant because she is from Thailand. Furthermore, Newman never really knew what to say about the country she lived in because her family had moved ever since she was a baby.
My grandmother, Sarah Adams Abernethy, has been traveling since her aunt took her and her sister to London when they were young. Ever since she has loved to travel. Two of her favorite trips she took were to Israel and Ireland. She loved Israel because she felt very touched that she was in the same place Jesus was once at. Her favorite part was either the Tomb in the Gardens or the Jordan river.
In Dorothy Allison’s personal narrative, “Context” the author explores the possible outcomes from her lover being introduced to her family and how that would change the way her lover saw herself. Allison supports this by using indirect characterization to describe her family members and the effect her family members may have on her lover. Allison’s purpose is to explain how events affect one another in various ways because of everyone’s different context to the situation. Allison’s intended audiences are all men and women who read personal narratives to get a better understanding of the difficulties and experiences someone undergoes during the course of their life. I have mixed feelings about Allison’s personal narrative.
Many things make us love a person. Admiration, things that people do or say or qualities they may have that you would like to see in yourself but those kinds of feeling fade with time because we change. But true love is something more it's unconditional, the good, the bad, & the ugly no matter what it's there you can't run & you can't hide from it. One person in particular that I love is Lauren Alexis Hahn also known as Lexie. She's someone who means so much to me.
Hi Jacquey Kessler, I too had some of the same struggles. I also work full time as a manager and found it very difficult taking two classes. I eventually had to switch to part time because I wasn’t satisfied with my learning experience. Since going part time it has been a real stress reliever. I have a little bit more time to enjoy other things in life.
One girl in particular, Sarah, was extremely displeased with my arrival. I was unaware of this for the longest time until she made it very clear. Sarah had seemed friendly, she was very intelligent, and she was popular. I learned that Sarah was also extremely competitive and envious when others did better than her, and I learned it the hard way.
