My Life

Both of my grandfathers have always been a huge inspiration to me. Growing up in Germany during World War II, my grandfather on my mother's side was forced to overcome a lot of hatred and diversity throughout the years. Then he moved here and was a minority in his school and society, since he only knew a few English words. His strength during his childhood is inspiring. But by far his greatest influence on me is his love for golf. I️ started playing golf with him when I️ was ten years old and it…

with Oliver.” (“My Virtual Life” 3 years) At age 4, I was rated, “slightly above average in terms of affection and warmth displayed toward your child,” and “in the top 15% in terms of control and discipline exercised with your child.” (“My Virtual Life” 4 years) At age 6, Oliver noted that I was, “‘nicer’ to him than other parents are to their kids, “ and that I “have more ‘rules’ than other kids' parents.” (“My Virtual Life” 6 years) With this evidence, I can safely say that my parenting style…

My Testimony I have been living in Canada for about five years. I love Canada and its people. Canada is a multicultural country built by immigrants from different corners of the earth. These immigrants moved to Canada with their cultures and religions. The multiculturalism of Canada has actually made ministry work and spreading the gospel both easy and challenging from my personal experience. I meet people who have an open mind towards the gospel and others who do not want to even hear it at…

My Life: I was the first child in my family. My parents, Ed and Tammy Viviano, had been married a little over a year when I was brought into the world. I was born at Wilson Hospital in Binghamton, NY. When I was brought home from the hospital I was taken to the small town of Afton N.Y, which I have called home for the past 23 years. From the day I was born I was a part of different systems that already existed in the world. Systems Theory: Systems theory is a way of assessing someone’s…

This seizure has changed my life, I'm not the same kid who could crack jokes, smile at everyone, hang out with friends, everything's different now. Not knowing why I have these seizures is still a mystery to me, I try harder every time to comprehend why me and why it cant be fixed, but in all honestly I will probably never have closure as to why but that doesn’t stop me. Even though I couldn’t fullfill my dream of being in the military I still try everyday to be a…

great in my home village. The opportunity for education was very limited. My father decided that we had to move to the city of Aden in the district of Burayqah for a better opportunity for education as well as a better job for him. My whole family moved to live in the city of Aden when I was only three years old. I have an older brother who is five years older than me. He started to go to school as soon as we got there. I had to wait three more years until I got to enter kindergarten. Living my…

Throughout my life I've encountered a lot of obstacles and hardships. However I've learned to deal with them and in turn, I have become a better person. I was born and raised in Wichita, a city more southern than northern in the state of Kansas. Life was good for awhile, I was just a young kid with big dreams in a broken city. I saw all the homeless people, drug addicts, drug dealers, Prostitutes, etc. but didnt think nothing of it. Of course I was young, I thought abuse was normal,…

painted memoir, or traditional. With all of these different styles I gravitated to poetry. My poems without a doubt spoke about a traumatic event, and what happened to my life from it. It discussed a horrific event I experienced, and explained how through this incident I came out a stronger person. In my memoir I spoke about the worst experience in my life, which was when I was sexually assaulted. I thought my life would forever be nothing but the depression I…

My life has been full of upsets and major trials. I’ve gone through difficult times that weren’t easy, but they strengthened myself and brought to light concepts that are spiritually enlightening. Depression isn’t an easy circumstance, but it allows us to realize our purpose in life and why we’re here. The facts in life can be better by those who fix them and try. Little insults people say can build a big impact on life and it causes heartbreak and makes me stronger. Life will be tough, but the…
