In this regard, are a lot of things that have led to my development? There are important things that have placed me where I am. The fact that I am turning 20 does not mean that it is by a snap, I have gone through various streamlining instances that have culminated in the current me. I must say that I am average in height person with excellent skills that have been substantiated my regarded interactions with people. In this effect, just like any other human being, there are many instances in my life that have been the peak of my situations hence my current disposition. The things that happened in my life revolved around, social, economic and religious aspects of life. In essence, events marking my development and transformations in life beat across the ages.
Family, my mother
I was born on 12th August, 1994 in Mississippi, United States of America. My parents were of a British origin, but had spent most of their developmental stages in the United States (Morris).Because they were from a background that strongly acknowledged Christian principles, I started attending Sunday school at the age of three. At this time, I would spend most of my time trying to sing and recite what our teachers imparted in us during our evening lessons. At almost all material times, as it regards the Christian faith, I and the other children who were but a bit older would assemble at the Holly church at dusk hour. I was too small to be regarded in the category of children who understood the Christian principles that were upheld. With the help of my mother, however, I was able to understand the teachings with ease, eventually; I emerged as the most talented boy in my Sunday school class.
The fact that it was called Sunday school did not necessarily mean that the occasion centered only on Sundays. It was in appreciation of the fact that Sunday stood as the most appreciated day in the Christian calendar (Wald). In this regard, therefore, I would denote that my to date strong willed aspects in religion are from my late mum who died when I was five years old .She would spend sleepless nights praying admit the overshadowing effect t that she had a heart problem. Her commitments in family obligations, faith in religion and attitude towards life are what drove me past the terrific event that culminated to her eventual death.
Doctor Frank Otchard
My mother’s death did not mean that it was the end of the road. People would honestly utter to themselves and their company, ‘look James reasons as an adult, he has ideas that do not comprehend to his age’. At this unfortunate stage in life, I decided to go in the church because I did not have a relative or any closer associate in the city. It was for the sole reason that we were strangers in a foreign land. All that ascribed to was the church; my child levels kindergarten and few church goers who would often than not see me attend Sunday school on daily occasions.
It was in the afternoon. I was going to look for some water to drink when I met Doctor Frank. An old man definitely in his late fifties stepped out of the expensive car with a bright face. It so happened that my tender age had only placed me in amazement, shock, disbelief and no knowledge of what this old man was up to. Would he be in the torment of a malicious intention to cause harm, several questions still crisscrossed my mind until when he held me by the hand. I felt different, feeling that had not been in my reach since my mother died. He looked at me closely and my rather semi-tattered clothes. I felt ashamed of myself; the sole contributing factor to my feeling was because showering had become a luxury. Water was limited, and one could only beg for hate what was enough for drinking minding that I had nowhere to call home.
Dr. Frank took me to his home where I met a family of six. I was initiated into the traditions of the family to the extent that I wad part and parcel the family. I was taken to an elementary school that offered education and religious benefits such as, teachings on the bible. It was a rare thing in most towns; Kansas sounded like a new heaven for me. Education that had once become an illusion found its way into scope. By the time I was in the fifth grade, I was among top students under the recognition by the Director of a private school. Thanks to Dr. Frank, I would never call him by name. The title that best suited him was dad because he had done a lot of which in the event that my father was alive, he would still not have surpassed him.
Dr. Frank, though a no nonsense man, when I went wrong with regard o hid principles and expectations from me, he would often than not come in my study room. He used to enlighten me besides his busy schedules. The taught me about saccharine aspects of life as well as the bitter ones. Teachings on relationships, especially at this time when I was an adolescent, shaped me up. As opposed to my friends at school who would often engage in premature sex and other illicit misdemeanors, I would never blink an eye and embrace the vices; I kept my priorities right, followed Frank’s guidance (Benard). In return, a spent most my life doing what was beneficial to the future. My efforts never fell into vanity, the remarkable New York Times Headline on 12th March, 2013 best describe this. I was assorted as the most intelligent, gifted, committed and strong willed student. It did cut across borders of cities and regions; the best in United States was not a passing by the wind event. It was all because of values and support that the old in look Doctor had offered to the very young boy on his a drowning verge. It happens that he ages not, at this time when am almost completing college, the fact that I am 20 years old does not mean that, the doctor has also immensely aged. The good and nice people never age; time and age are dependent factors of personalities.
In conclusion, I am happy that I am almost graduating in my studies .Not just the act of finishing school as it sings up for most students. I am an outstanding man, ready to face life. My preparations for the future life that I look at, less than a stone’s throw, significantly bases from my mother in introducing me to good Christian principles that guide my life. Doctor Frank continued with where my mother had left. His relevance in my life, in all spheres, is what I can never fail to mention. Events that surrounded my interactions with my mother and Doctor Frank are what make me today.
