Personal Narrative: A Person Who Changed My Life?

This accomplishment was met with such an emotional finish, and Matt and I bonded over the unknown of what our futures held. Neither of us had jobs, but we both had big dreams.

Richard began telling me about his life:

He embraced he prowess as a handy man and would always buy old run down vehicles and boats as fixer uppers. My father would start the story by saying, “going fishing with John was always an adventure.” He would then begin to tell the story of the time him and my mother had gone fishing with Pawpaw John at Angola’s lake. Since John was always partial to fixer uppers he had this old worn out 19 foot Duracraft fishing boat, which he had salvaged from the junk.

He said he did have the unique opportunity once a week to speak with Mae over a telephone line, which they enjoyed very much. Jerry was supposed to spend a total of 13 months in Vietnam, but only spent nine and thankfully did not see any action.

After the funeral he asked if he could return to his instructor position in Denver since his term was almost up anyways, which was approved

Every year the breed I show hosts a junior national in a different state and my family and I have traveled to every one since I started showing. For junior nationals each summer we have traveled to Missouri, Ohio, Nebraska, Kentucky, and Texas. Even though traveling to junior nationals each summer has called for many hours stuck in the back seat with my siblings and many miles on the road, I would not trade those moments for anything. I could name off so many memories and moments I have shared with my friends and family at shows and on the road to shows, but there are so many it’s hard to me to name them all off. I am so thankful to have a passion that gives me so much to remember and memories I can carry with me the rest of my

My father is a compassionate, hard working, team player, driven person, and I have gained those attributes from him, he has truly impacted my life more than once. My father has given my sister and I everything that we could possibly given.

I told him that despite having to leave all those things behind, I still had a smile on my face. I told him that I had already become friends with most of my classmates in my new class and that it looked like Rancho could be a really fun place for me to live in. my father and I began taking these walks daily, having conversations about old memories until he eventually returned to his old cheerful self.
