When I started coon hunting I at the age of 14, the person that got me into coon hunting was my dad. The reason why I stared going is that I seen him going a lot by himself, and I felt that it must be pretty lonely out there in the dark by yourself. had a year under my belt of just pleasure hunting, getting know my dogs voice, and learning the rules of competition coon hunting My dad ask me if I would like to get in competition coon hunting. The first thing that came to mind was heck yes! little did he know that this would become into a life long interest The next day were packing bags and heading to Kentucky for competition coon hunt. It was a 3 hour drive there and when we got there, we saw all sorts of people there just for a coon hunt.…
What I did this summer was on the last day of school me and my family went to this park that as a small pond and a large sizes bridge that crosses over it . After we were done at the park we went to Dairy Queen and had fun. Over the summer I had swam with my friends that live nearby . During the summer I like to do projects out of wood and other materials such as a go carts ,trigger box trap which works by a rectangular prism that has a drop door on the entrance and a trigger in the back of the trap that is a stick with a notch in it so once the animal hit the trigger the door will fall and trap it .…
My Dad, the lover, the tough guy, always loves to hang out with my brother and I. So on the trip to Hawaii, he didn’t only teach me how to boogie board and paddle board, he also taught me to appreciate the good things because they aren’t always going to be there. Like the poem of Robert Frost “Nothing Gold can stay.” That’s the kind of thing that brought me and my dad closer; he turned a paddle board/boogie board lesson into a life lesson.…
Mike introduced me to hunting and the great outdoors when we first got married. I can remember being pregnant with our first son and going across a field when a pheasant flew right up in front of me. It scared me so I screamed and fell to the ground. I was so embarrassed knowing there were other hunters around looking to find out who was screaming. I waited on the ground for Mike to give me the ok to get back up. At the time I was mortified but now it is a great memory.…
When I was young, my dad would often put me into hard and realistic scenarios to put myself to the test. This would often frustrate me because I thought it was a waste of time and unnecessary. In my elementary years, he would often give me extra problems, in addition to my homework, and made sure…
My father never lets an opportunity pass to teach his children. Being a father alone is difficult, but finding the time to impact each and every life of those seven children is a completely different rigorous task. Dad has taken this as a challenge and a life-long goal. My dad has taught me lots of things there is to know about many different subjects. Because of him I have learned to change tires on a car, because of him I have learned how to respect my siblings, because of him I have learned to cherish the moments in everyday life, because of him I have learned to have more confidence in myself.…
Dogs have positively affected my life since i was four years old. That was how old i was when i got my very first dog. She was a Lhasa Apso and was very sweet, when we first got her i was very attached to her ever since i was little. Her name was Junior and she passed away last March. Although i was very sad, i was grateful that i had the privilege to have a dog. About ten months ago, i got a new dog, his name is Bauer, he is ½ German Shepherd and ½ Great Pyrenees. He was the runt of his litter but now weighs more than me. He is a very sweet dog and i am very lucky to have him. Dogs have taught me so much responsibility over the years, and have also brightened my day everytime they are around, everyone should have the ability to own a dog,…
How has my dad shaped my view of life? It is hard to pinpoint exactly. I know I have learned a lot from him: the best ways to save money on groceries, the value of gift cards in everyday life, how to relax and joke and be the comedic relief (not that I use that lesson very often, unfortunately), how to separate work and home and truly enjoy being at home (another lesson I need to put into practice more often), and so much more.…
Being raised in a strict, family oriented background helped me succeed throughout the high school process. My grandmother’s motto was "Boys and Books do not mix". Little did I realize at the time how much this expression would mean to me in life? She raised me the same way she was brought up, and for that I am appreciative. My biggest enthusiast was always my grandmother. Before my parents knew report cards were imminent, my phone was already ringing vigorously. She always made sure I was on the precise track and she allowed me to never set my standards stumpy and shoot for the stars.…
My father also trained all us kids for track every year whether we liked it or not. We lived on a road called one house road and ironically we were the only house there. Every morning was the same, when it was time to go to the bus for school, my father would make us run all the way to the end of the road and when we got off the bus then we had to run all the way home. The great thing about us running together is we pushed each other to do better and made us feel like a team. Also helping my mother with things around the house, like the children, cleaning, and cooking. My mother relied a lot me, she felt I was the most responsible out of her children so I was given more tasks to do. One thing my mother always made sure we did every Sunday and Wednesday was go to church services. Living in the country made it easy to focus on religion which is exactly what our mother made sure we did. If you ever said anything…
Growing up, I had no idea what I wanted to do for the rest of my life. My whole world evolved around sports, but I knew the chances of making money playing a sport were slim. My father owns a pipeline business, and my mom owns a boutique shop so I knew I would go into a business management plan. At ten years old, my father always took me to work with him on the weekends. That was one of the best things I got; young experience is what I needed. He taught me to operate heave machinery, mix concrete, work on pipelines; moreover, he taught me what it takes to be a self-mannered, respectful employee. Since then, I knew what to do with my life and I am very lucky to have such inspirational parents to motivate me for my goal in life. I look up to them in so many ways and appreciate all they have done for my siblings and I. Hopefully, I can provide for my family like my father has for ours.…

Looking back when I was a little girl about the age of 7, I always wanted a pet, I didn’t care what I just wanted one. So I told my mom about it and she let me get 1 fish. I loved that fish, I named him Samuel. Samuel was an angelfish, he was blue and he had a smaller fin on his right side. I chose him, assuming he wouldn’t get picked by anyone else. He only lived for a week and a half. After Samuel died, my mom didn’t think I would be ready for another pet.…
My Dad has a significant influence on me because he worked hard he provided me with food ,water, and milk when I was little he wouldn’t eat so I could have a decent meal at night and now that I look back at it that showed that he would give up the world for me to live. If I ever have a child I would like to be like my Father . My Dad has a significant influence on me because he always told me to study hard, to forget about the boys ,to just make something about myself so I won’t have to struggle when I’m older which I think is true . This is why I’d like to go to college and make something out of myself.…
Growing up in my teen years I’ve been though a lot. Seen a lot, and have done a lot. My biggest inspiration was my father, I leaned to become a responsible adult. I was his little girl. Very shelted, and taught the meaning of struggle before I went through it Even though I wasn’t your typical teenager. I am blessed to have one guide me in the right direction.…
