In addition to volunteering at the pantry, I donate an ample amount of my paycheck to children who are in need of…

How do the people around me impact my life? My mother would have to be the biggest person that has impacted my life.

I would always get upset because other kids parents would never…

However, occasionally, light shines through the cracks in his character.

The Peanut Butter Man Peanut butter will forever be a staple of my family’s diet. Whether it’s when I’m still living with my mom or when I have my own grandchildren. I would give most of the credit for this to my grandpa. That man had probably consumed enough peanut butter to keep the industry going by himself.
