My name is Kellee Layne Benjamin, and I will be twenty-three years old on February 4th, 2010. I was born and raised as a mid-western in Columbus, Ohio. I grew up with a large family of all sisters, half sisters, step sisters and one brother totaling eleven children. I was one of the younger, but considered to be the middle because of the age ranges between all of us. I grew up with seven siblings including myself, and the other four siblings were grown and had kids already. I lived in a small suburb of Columbus called Westerville. Westerville is a place where everyone knows everyone, even though they had four major high schools within this small town. Westerville is a very friendly place, where not a lot of crimes were committed. Westerville was “dry” my whole life growing up, but has recently changed so that they sell alcohol in certain markets around town.…
I am a person that is weird and creates her own world I can say so passionate that what makes me unique. I grew up in a country that wasn’t noticed that much and was much going on there but even so I tried my best focusing on my studies that I can be here at the moment getting ready for college . As I grow up, I used to enjoy writing and creating things than doing anything else. Since I was little, I enjoy playing with Legos and collect puzzles and figuring it out, until now, I still collect puzzles and try putting them together. So when the time came by and I had to move here I felt sad I was anxious what I am going to do in a strange country. So when I arrived here I felt excited and anxious I did not know what to do. Compared from where…
I never thought that if I sat down to write about myself, the result would be this. My name is Kenneth Lai and I was born at Kaiser Hospital in Berkeley, California on November 10, 1993.

My mother works in a lab of some sort, making materials to cure eye problems.…
I draw a lot, I always loved art because it came in different forms, and there was never a wrong way to do it. I drew a lot of anime, cartoon characters, and did nature drawings because they are cute and fun, and could express myself without words. When I was in middle school, I played many instruments at Fairview, because the music program is great. I played the handbells, piano, harp, recorder, guitar, ukulele, glockenspiel, and joined show chorus. My family is unique, I don't get along with them sometimes, we could be fine then fight and then be fine, it's weird but we all love each other dearly. We share cries, laughs, anger, and stories. I have a best friend named Nishma, I met her at Hamilton in my World's Studies class, she is really funny and kind, we hang out a lot and share stories about our lives, and we like the same things which make our friendship more fun and she got me more comfortable around others, I'm grateful. When I'm older, I want to be an animator, zoologist or an artist, after years of being confused about what I want to be I've brought it down to three choices for my future…

My parents had lived in Illinois their whole life and grew up there so when we moved back to Illinois it was basically saying that we were just going home. My name was chosen by my mom because she said that Danielle was one of her favorite girl names. She also said that one of her good friends name is Danielle and my mom told her that she was gonna name me after her. A couple days after I was born is when the first ever school shooting happened at Columbine High School in 1999 in Colorado. I share a birthday with Kassidy Steffen and Colleen Daniels. The first couple years of my life I honestly do not remember. My mom has told me stories about when I was a baby. When I was little I loved to help out and do whatever my mom was doing. From doing the dishes to making cookies I was there to help out. My mom told me that I was a momma's girl. I always cried when my mom left to go to work. I also had a big imagination and always like to…
I had a very abusive and controlling mother. I was Removed from her custody by the state and was relocated with my father, That wasn't the best because he dropped me back off at my mothers because he didn't want me. He has a new life with a different family But, he dropped me off without notifying the state and I was forced to live through this nightmare with no chance of awakening. I later took the given opportunity to live with a friends mom and life was good until the support money was gone and ended up back at square one, My mom's. At the age of 16 I ran away and was a runaway for 8 months. when I was found I was transitioned into an abused and battered teen home called Gemini. Shortly after arriving to Gemini I was enrolled in job corps and graduated the program with trade papers and a diploma(GED) at age 18. I was diagnosed with Anxiety and Depression at age 22. I am currently medicated for Anxiety and Depression because of my childhood experiences .I've spent the last 5 years learning myself and keeping myself functioning I have came to the conclusion, I am not ok with a mediocre life. I am a strong individual and have so much more potential than just letting life fly-by. Who am I ? I have become who I am in the present because of who I was in the past. Any number of things could have changed the path I traveled, but I am strong, independent , and strive for what I want. I am Symantha…
A little about me? I’m a pretty simple person, kind of introverted. I hate crowds and drama; I love being out in nature and just spending the day in peace and quiet. I live in New York State, near Buffalo; it’s nice but too cold, too often. Most times you’ll find me hanging out with my dog Tipper while he pretends to pee on everything. Of course I love to read, television is just awful with the exception of The Walking Dead and the Buffalo Sabres whom hopefully will no longer be awful for the foreseeable future.…

I chose to become a surgical technologist because I want to enter a Health occupation program as part of my high school curriculum, which I enjoyed very much. After completing high school, I want to enter the United States Air Force. There were lots of career paths from which to choose. Since I enjoyed working with people in a healthcare environment, I chose to become a surgical technician. The skills you will have to need to become a surgical technician is that you will have to have practical knowledge of basic surgical technology concepts and the ability to put them into action.…
In 1914, World War I began and was commonly referred to around the world as “The War To End All Wars” and “The Great War”. As volunteers for the war ran out, the government had to go into a draft. As names were getting pulled, the soon to be soldiers were being pulled out as just a number, not even a name. Following the conclusion of World War I was the emergence of The Great Depression. “Millions of people were out of work, and there was an alarming concern for the elderly and retired Americans who had lost everything. In 1935, President Franklin D. Roosevelt signed the original Social Security Act into law. At that time, the US was just beginning to recover from the Great Depression and the program was intended to be -and essentially still is today - a social insurance program. It is a government-run program providing economic security to our citizens” (“Social”). In E.B. White 's “About Myself”, it can be seen how White viewed numbers as dehumanizing. Today, our numbers seem as secretive as our fingerprints. We buy shredders to obliterate any papers with the very numbers White puts out for all to see: "My social security number is 067-01-9841. I am married to US Woman Number 067-01-9807.” In "About Myself" E.B. White satirizes the American government in order to persuade American citizens to stop describing people using numbers because it is dehumanizing.…

If you love what you do, then you will never work a day in your life.…

I never had a place I could call home. I bounce from house to house, whichever house would let me stay, whichever house had the least drama at that time. I never knew what a stable and happy family looks like. Most of family is drug addicts so it was never a stable environment. Until one day I met John. He’s tall, handsome and has a very positive sprit to be around. Every conversation we had it was always inspirational. He was always telling me to look at the better things in life that I do have and go from there, to not dwell on the past but look forward to the future. This is about him and how he helped me see life from a different perspective.…
