Primary sclerosing cholangitis

Scott McLane is my hero because he teaches me to be strong and faithful in God. My dad´s not just my hero, but an American hero. When he was 18 years old he went to boot camp and joined the army. He remained very tough in the army, and always is telling me and my brother stories about some of the things they had to do like running 1 mile in 5 minutes. Which inspires me not to quit when I'm ever thinking about quitting. Although he never had to go into war thankfully, he was always ready and really is an american hero. He didn't know it yet but the strength from being in the army would help him with health struggles later in life. Later on in his life, When he was 29 years old he found out he had a liver disease called primary sclerosing cholangitis. And would have to be on the waiting list for a liver transplant. Now when I say waiting list I mean waiting for a long time. He had to wait 2 years for his liver transplant, meanwhile throughout those 2 years…

love doing. Walter Payton was an outstanding person who left behind his love for football and helping others, throughout his life, he tried his best to be the kindest person; he is definitely someone that I admire for being able to move forward in life and being successful. With the complications that Payton had back at home, his death left everyone in disbelief. Walter Payton’s death affected many people around the world.

I remember when I was in Elementary School and every day we had time to do music, art, and/or theater both in class and as an extra elective. I know that personally for me this was my favorite part of each day when I was able to have a bit more freedom and express myself the way I wanted to through the arts. Every day this is what my classmates and I looked forward to, every lesson we got to use the arts or every time we went to our electives we loved learning and remembered what we learned…

In September of 1969, I was five years old, and I started to attend kindergarten. This was the first school year for the newly organized Mid-Valley School District. The new proper name of our school was the Olyphant Elementary School, but we commonly referred to it as the Mid-Valley Elementary School in Olyphant. My classroom was in the part of the building that used to be the Olyphant Central School; the part that was dedicated in 1910. This was the same school building in which my…

The less fortunate are being marginalized, and not afforded the quality of education desired because of their financial status.…
