Hero And A Lover

I am VIctor Fitz-Gerald Ochei and i think i would be described as a hero as a warrior or as a hero as a lover. I see my self a a hero as warrior because of my love for sports. I have been playing football since he fifth grade and it is one of my favorite sports. ALthough its my favorite sport it has also taught me to overcome obstacles and work hard to get where i wanna be. i see myself as a hero as a lover because i love my family and there is nothing i woudnt do for my brothers. They motivate me to work hard because if i dont work hard and set a good examplefor them they will not have any positive influence seeing how im the oldest.

My Right Hand

Patricia Clark has been my next door neighbor since the 7th grade but has been more like a second mother to me. Every time I have had a problem in my life she has helped me out and I trust her because she has been able to relate to my problems. I recall when my parents were having marital problems since she had four children that went through the same things I was going through. Every time I need something I can always go next door and get what ever help I need. Mrs. Pati has had a major impact on my life over the past three years. Its only been three years but it feels like I have known her my whole life. Everybody in my family loves Mrs. Pati. Everyday my siblings will ask us to go to he house and play with her son Eli or the dogs. All my life I was scared of dogs and she has taught me to over come that fear. She also has convinced my parents to give me more freedom and I will never forget how many times she has got me out of trouble with my parents. She has taught me things I never learned and inspired me to become a surgeon. She has taught me to work hard if I want to succeed in life and I am glad that she moved from Oregon to my neighborhood.

Crossroads

In the year of 2008 about a year to this day my aunt died. I loved my Aunt Mary Jane and she meant the world to me. When I received the news of her death I was devastated. I used to live with my aunt when my parents where having problems and she was a wonderful guardian. She didn’t have any children so took in my brother and I and treated us as if we her first children. She was sick when we lived with her but my family and I suspected her death. Her husband Christopher stood by her side in her time of need and we pray for her more than he would pray for himself. Then a few years after we moved out she adopted her first child. Her and my uncle tried for many years but after realizing that it wasn’t going to possible they adopted. I used to remember my little cousin sleeping in the hospital because her father would stay in the hospital looking after her mother. My mom used to stay up crying because she felt so bad about the situation. I have always been different since that day my mom told me.

My Personal Jester

This is Eric Gardner, my next door neighbor. I met Eric in the summer of 2008 even though he was my neighbor i really never attempted to get to know him until I started playing basketball with him at the community park. Ever since I have been hanging out with him i have been laughing and enjoying life more. Now even though we spend most of the time making fun of each other or "scoring" we have also had fun times. We have also had times where he has gotten me in trouble on numerous accounts. At the time it may seem like fun and games but every action has an outcome whether positive or negative. I remember when we walking home from the gas station and then he bet that I wouldn't be able to hit a car. at first i was thinking to myself why not but after i had hit the car and the people had chased us around the neighborhood i thought to myself once again but this time i asked why do it? so even though i had fun i also ran into trouble which wasn't worth all that i had went through that day.

My Penelope

This is my girlfriend Whitney Thomas. Even though we haven't been together that long i really enjoy being with her. I know both of us have thought about other people but i hope that we stay as faithful to each other as Penelope did for Odysseus. She inspires me to work harder for each other even though we disagree on a lot of things. She is kind, beautiful, and smart. I hope we stay together for many more months to come.

Help From Above

God has changed my life in many ways since I've been going to church. I often thought that church was for a bunch of religious freaks, but now I see the love and friendshipsthat others have had fun. They say we cannot learn to forgive until we learn to be forgiven. I've learned this very important lesson and I thank God because it comes from heaven. I've always wished I could change the world for the better but although I cannot see it yet I know God has given me a gift to take that responsibility. I have been a Christian all my life but I recently have became stronger in faith. Everyday God has made an impact on my life and it has never been a negative impact even though I have lost people in my life I have had words of wisdom which have always pulled my through.

Friends Through Thick and Thin

This is my brother Deejay Christianson. There’s a stage in life when you have been through so much with somebody that you see them as your brother or sister and Damion Peter Christianson and I have been through a lot together. We have been friends since sixth grade and whenever we wouldn’t see eye we knew one of us would pick up the phone and apologize because our friendship was worth more than an immature argument. We are the complete opposites and that’s why we are friends. We learn new things from each other everyday and that is why I hope our friend ship last a lifetime.

This is Shaymon Thompson. He is one of the first people I met when I came to Mesquite. Every time one of us has had a problem we can always count on the other to help out with whatever our situation is. He knows more about me then anybody in my family. He is practically one of my family members since he is at my house everyday. Even though we are best friends we have problems and disagreements and true best friends overcome any obstacle. That’s exactly what we have been able to do.

This is my friend Vanessa. She is a very important person in my life. We haven’t been friends for very long but I’m glad we decided to become friends. She is beautiful, smart, down to earth and just simply amazing. What makes her so special is that we can count on each other whenever we have a problem and she gives great help. She also gives the truth to people. Sometimes the truth may be hard to accept but the advice is to help you be a better person. Whenever I am around Vanessa I cannot stop smiling because of her amazing personality and beauty. She lives life to fullest and doesn’t let what other people say get to her. The thing that amazes me the most is how short of a time we have known each other and how far our friendship has come. This is somebody who I love and I pray for every night. I thank God every day for blessing me with a friend like her.

Bri’ Nashae Butler is one of my friends who I just love being in their presence. Every time Bri and I are together we have a fun time. I look forward to my class with her because you never know what is going to happen with her. I could be having the worst day and she could just look at me and smile then my day will become better. Even though we argue over a lot of things that are stupid she is a special person to me. She is caring, beautiful, and funny. I am glad that we have gotten close this year and I hope to stay friends throughout highschool.

My Homeland: Nigeria

December 19, 2009 my family and I went on a trip to Nigeria for Christmas break. This was not my first time going but I can vaguely remember it. At first I didn't want to go because i didn't know what to expect but the experience i received from this trip was amazing. I learned new things about my culture, saw family members that I haven't seen in years and others that I was meeting for the first time. It really bothers me when people talk about Africa and poverty because majority of those people have never been there themselves to see it first hand like I was lucky enough to experience. I honestly do not wanna go to Nigeria soon because I know how much i will miss home again but further into the future when I have a chance I look forward to going back to visit my people.
