Live Your Dreams
Submitted by Judy about 1 year ago.
Dreams are not impossible! I have always loved being with children! Ever since I was 8 years old and babysat my cousins, I enjoyed being with children. What is it that children have that we may lose as we get older ? Is it the imagination that children have? Maybe it is the "unconditional" love that they have learned. I…
Learn to Draw
Submitted by Skip Van Lenten about 1 year ago.
Whatever artistic talents I might possess, I owe to my mother. I spent a lot of time in the kitchen watching her cook while I was growing up, and I noticed that whenever she made French fries, she would lay them out on a brown paper bag to soak up the oil before putting them on our plates. One night,…
Make A Change
Submitted by MA about 1 year ago.
My father owns his own company, which means I'm blessed to be surrounded with all the material items I want. You may think this is the perfect life, but I am never truly happy. My father is never home, so we are never as family oriented as I wish we were. I am never truly happy and my smile is…

Submitted by Bryce Macfarlane about 1 year ago.
I've been hunting my whole life with my friends and family, and while we're out in the field we make an effort to keep ourselves entertained whether it be through stories of the past or jokes we make on the spot. One of my fondest memories was during a goose hunt when my friend Greg was sitting on his tri-pod…
Lori
Submitted by Gabe about 1 year ago.
My hero is my mother Lori. She is my hero because in my opinion, she is so strong because she has been through so much during her lifetime between having two teenage daughters and battling breast cancer. Another reason she is my hero is she is very helpful. She helps so many people during the day because her job calls…

My Personal Hero
Submitted by Tom Landrus about 1 year ago.
My personal hero is my Father. I picked my Father as my personal hero because he has always been there for me, he is a self made man, he has the strongest willpower of anyone I have ever met. He seems to always know the right decision, he is never self-centered, and always looking out for his children. My father…
