Reece Jankowy
Mr. Yates
English 451-5
19, August 2013

My name is Reece Jankowy, I am a kind, caring, loving, thoughtful, and sincere person. Time and time again I have put my family, friends , and even strangers will being before my own. I am very passionate about sports, fitness, and just being healthy in general. I go to the gym on top of soccer almost everyday and if I'm not doing one, I'm doing the other. Working out is one of those things that people force themselves to do,but i just do it because i enjoy it. A normal school day for me is i will wake up on my own because school starts so early my mom is still asleep by the time me and my brother leave the house, I am also responsible for making sure my brother is up and ready to go when I am. I also am responsible for taking my next door neighbor and one of my brothers friends to school everyday. After school i take everyone home and usually me and my brother go to the gym, i will have practice, or I will drop my brother and his friends off at church. One thing that has impacted my life, including my academic performances is my father has never been a huge part of our lives since about the summer of eighth grade when my parents separated, but at the beginning of the summer that got back together and half way through the summer after we got back from vacation he just left, now we have to move out of the house i've lived in since i was 7 years old. Now that my Dad is gone i feel like i have to look out for my brother, help raise him, and be the role model/ father figure that my dad isn't right now.

    Throughout my entire life, I have found that hard work and dedication can help me achieve any goal that I set. I have overcome the separation and lack of decent parents, incarceration of my oldest brother, and many other events with the morals and skills that were taught to me by my grandparents (who are my legal guardians). Due to their influence and love, I have always put my best foot forward and looked at the world with optimism. Since the second grade, I have been in gifted/honor courses, exceeded through my classes, and have made many friends. My backbone does not consist of selfish desires or influences; it consists of my morals and the family and friends that I do have pushing me to change the world.…

    To begin, parents always support you. They believe in you, even if you struggle. They guide you whenever you need comfort. Parents also usually know more than you in almost all things, from academic subjects to real life situations. Since I am with my family for hours every day, there is time for them to show me what I might know and teach me what I don’t know. Whether I need help in math, or a task like putting on a tie, my parents will show me to the best of their ability. Overall, my parents have changed three things: my grades, my attitude towards my family, and my outlook on school and how to do well in…

    It was difficult because I never had a dad to talk to or give me advice about school, or even teach me to do anything as a father should to his son. Luckily my mother met my stepdad. My step-dad accepted and raised me as if I were his own son. As I was younger, I never understood why my step-dad would always force me to wash my own clothes, clean up after myself after eating, and to learn how to cook so I wouldn’t have to depend on my mom or anybody to provide for me in things that can be learned and done by an eight year old. As I grew older, I realized that everything he taught me was for a purpose. That purpose was to get me ready for life, and to be able to live on my own without anybody’s help. Though my step-dad has taught me skills on how to live on my own, he also taught me characteristics of being responsible, determined, hard-working, organized, understanding, and honest with myself. My step-dad raised my family in a strict environment, in turn, it taught me how to be self-disciplined. My step-dad always preached to never be a follower and to always be a leader, and I’ve shown these characteristics through all the times I’ve succeeded with my family in school, football, and…

    My parents have built a family that is loving, caring, understanding but at the same strong on ethics. They always make sure that I develop a strong intellectual property but at the same time be passionate to my fellow citizens of the community. When I started playing competitive soccer for club team, I couldn’t make up my mind whether I should play as a forward or as a defender. When I asked my dad for his suggestion, he refused to give a direct answer. Instead he told me what it takes to become a good forward or a good defender. He then asked me try out both positions and make my own decision. Ever since, I make my own decision what I want to do, what I want to become, how I want to help my community. They have taught me that I am the one who must use his good mind and make wise decisions, whether it is a decision to be on soccer field, at school, robotics team or at home.…

    My nose beckons me to wake up as the sweet aroma of buttered pancakes fills my bedroom. The slight crack in my door allows only the slightest bit of light to seep through, but is more than enough space for the scent to travel from the kitchen to my room. I know it must be Sunday because my mom never makes breakfast. Slowly I roll out of my bed, the hardwood floor creaking as my feet my make contact with it. Sunday means two things to me, breakfast and church. I check the clock and see the bright green numbers blink 8:00, meaning I’ve only got 30 minutes till church starts. Rushing to the shower I nearly trip up the stairs, knowing if I don’t hurry my brother Abe will take all the hot water. My family is a strange one, but it is the only one I have. And they are the people who have shaped me into the individual I have and will soon become.…

    Track Team Reflection

    Two years ago during my sophomore year of high school my parents did not believe that I would be able to juggle school work as well as be on the track team. I put it upon myself to prove them wrong, and I did. I went to school for 7 hours, then after school would practice with the track team until late hours in the day. Their lack of confidence that I would be able to keep my grades up as well as be in a sport prompted me to want to be on the track team even more. With their lack of confidence in me it led me to be constantly racing with the varsity runners and to get a 3.5 GPA, a huge improvement from my freshman year. I managed to make them believe that if I wanted to do something I could do it and do it well. Throughout the school year,…

    I have been a part of the men’s basketball team here at Fort Campbell high school for three years the coaches have put a lot on my shoulders since my sophomore year. I tried to lead and be a role model as much as possible last year, and that helped me grow as a person and take on challenges my father and mother went through as a student athlete. My father was an extraordinary football and basketball player, he could have possibly got a D1 scholarship if he didn’t break his ankle his senior year. As I’ve been a part of the football and basketball team, I’ve influenced my sister to exercise and join sports instead of sitting in the house wasting time. Growing up she’s has basically been my shadow; she does just about everything I do so I try to lead by example. If anything my mom influenced me to…

    When people are asked about the question who is the one they admire most, the answers could not be more different. Indeed, everyone has his/her hero on heart. And I also have mine: he is my father. There are various reasons why he is the person I admire the most; he gave me life, watched me grow up and helped me during my adolescent years. He is also my best friend. Throughout the years, my father is my abecedarian and best teacher. He took an active role in my education. From my childhood, I was taught speaking, reading and writing by him. After I grew up, my father tried his best to shape my personality as patient and optimistic when facing difficulties. He was strict with me, but got never tired of my mistakes. As a straight-A student in the university, now I cannot help but attribute my present status to my educational foundation that my father helped establish very early in my life. What’s more, my father is also my best friend. Over the years, he successfully made the transition from a strict father to a kind friend. Once I am in trouble which I could not solve by myself, the first person to whom I give the call is my father, because I know the... College parenting means being concerned about many things when your student heads off to school. Naturally, one of the major areas of focus is your student’s academic success.

    Before anything, I am a big sister to a wonderful little brother. I would almost consider him my son, because without him, I would be nothing. I live my life for him, and because of him. Sometimes I feel like giving up on school because at times, it's too hard and too much for me to deal with. Then, I think, what kind of role model would I be If I quit. I am only telling him that's its ok to do it. And nowadays, most males don't usually get far, and that's usually because they quit everything that they do. We don't live together, and that hurts me the most. He lives with our mom, and I live with my dad. His dad isn't in his life, and that hurts me. He doesn't have a male figure to look up to, so I play that man. When we do get to hang out, we play football, videogames, and burp; guy stuff and I love every moment of it.…

    Though I had experienced several activities throughout the first ten years of my life, I had not selected the activities in which I participated. My parents were the ones who, up to that point, suggested different recreational pursuits. They recommended I play soccer, and when the season ended and I decided not to rejoin, my parents thought tennis may be more enjoyable. I took part in tennis and Girl Scouts for four years, but I did not wish to pursue them beyond that. Even though I enjoyed doing the activities my parents chose for me, and I learned principled lessons from them, I had not had the opportunity to choose something for myself. That changed one cold, dark Wednesday in the middle of winter at my religious education class. The director of the…
