I am not going to start this off with a quote because that's what everyone else is doing. I am Avery Peak and I hate doing things someone has already done. I like being creative in my own way, that's why I have a grain shoot for an exhaust in my truck and rolling on 37inch mud tires.…

I must cancel tennis this weekend. I am sorry for the short notice. My work schedule is bad for tennis play. It is best that I withdraw future matches. My hours extend to 8 am, Monday - Saturday. Church does not make Sunday a viable option. You are always welcome to play on the courts. Just let me know.…
Over the course of my long life (or lives depending on how you look at it) I have been known by many names. And not all of them translate exactly. My latest and last one is Gracen. I do not know how old I am, nor do I really care. All that matters is that I get two square meals a day and a warm bed at night. An occasional pet behind the ears is nice too. It’s times like this, late at night in my bed, when I reminisce back to where it all began.…
How to you feel now a days? I hope all is well. I am sure Aunt Rosie would not mind to keep you company.…
I was cleared to play basketball a few days before the football season was over by my physical therapist, Matt. I rushed home that day packed my sneakers and a ball and went to the gym. The ball felt so natural and nice in my hands, the squeaking of my shoes was so pleasant to my ear, and the swish of the net was a almost heavenly euphoria. I started hanging out with a lot of people again, my grades were back to normal, and I was expecting my goal to of starting to be finally accomplished. My problems were almost erased as it seemed everything was…
My mother, “Regina Hopkins,” has been a positive influence in my life. She has raised 6 kids all by herself as well as earned a Bachelor’s degree in nursing from a City College in Gainesville, Florida. My mother has been through pretty much everything a person can go through outside of war and was still able to be there and provide for all 6 of her kids. In high school, my mother wanted to play football and couldn't because she was a girl and back-in-the-day women were not allowed to play football with the guys. However, she remained strong by raising 6 kids and independently took care of all of us on her own. My mother has several qualities that I would love to develop. The first quality she has is balance; she certainly knows how to make…
My two core values are Family and Faith. My top priorities in life are God and my family. It wasn't hard for me to choose my top two core values because I know that with God and my family I am able to achieve the other things. My family were the first people to provide me with love, happiness, friendship, and wisdom. They have been here for me every step of the way and as I am getting older, everything I strive to be and to do is ultimately to help them and make them proud. Faith is very important to me and that is something that my family has taught and instilled in me. Everything I do is for the approval of God. I have learned that hat God has for me is for me. Therefore, I am able to achieve success, peace, status, and wealth if that is…
Ayo mugshot, gun shot, dope shot, jump shot. Take your pick, but you only get one shot. Advice from a schoolteacher to a young tot. Applyin' a sticker to his Spiderman lunchbox. When even role models tell us we're born to be felons. We're never gettin' into Harvard or Carnegie Mellon. And we gon' end up either robbin' somebody or killin'. It's not fair that's all they can tell us. That's why I hustle hella hard, never celebrate a holiday. That'll be the day I coulda finally hit the lottery. I refuse to ever lose or throw my shot away. Or chalk it up as just another one that got away. So I'm unapologetic, I'm on my calesthenics. If I ahve given it all I got I cannot regret it. My point of destination's different from where I was headed. 'Cause I'ma shoot for the starts to get it. One shot.…
Now this is where I`m supposed to write “all about me”. This is where I become lost. I mean, come on. I wouldn`t know where to start. But I guess the best way to have an idea what makes me tick and what ticks me off is by checking my journal that i fill with endless ramblings about whatever and whoever catches my fleeting fancy or rage. :)…
After retaking the LASSI I have noticed a considerable amount of improvement as well as regression. In the beginning of the year, I vowed to myself that I would become a better student. I wanted to maximize all of my abilities in order to be successful. So, after I took my first LASSI and had my talk with Mac, I began to implement new strategies meant to help me accomplish my goal. First I had to deal with my anxiety. In past years I suffered with a lot of anxiety while learning math. I used to love math very much, however, this changed after my 6th grade year. Math became a foreign subject to me. I could no longer make connections and solve problems. As a result, my grades in math began to drop. As a person who is used to getting A’s and B’s on assignments, I had a difficult time in coping with my failure since it didn’t live up to my standards in the subject of math. My difficulty with math eventually caused me to have anxiety. I had carried this anxiety until my sophomore year in high school. It seemed as if no matter how hard I tried to concentrate on math tests my mind would always become blank. Luckily I had an…
It was a perfectly normal Saturday night, until I sat on the couch. I expected to enjoy a funny movie with my dad, but instead I got a trip to the hospital. I sat on the couch, and then I felt a sting in my elbow. At first, it felt like I got a shot at the doctor, but it slowly got worse, and felt more like a knife slicing into my elbow. I winced and sprung up from the couch. I squinted and my eyes scanned the spot where I just sat down. Aha, I thought. There was a small piece of plastic, and it looked like it broke off from a container.…
