Personal Narrative: Janis Knight And Bea Strong
We all have people who have come into our lives and influenced us greatly. Those people either stay or they go their separate ways. Either way, people are put into our lives to help us learn. I have been lucky enough to have met some wonderful people over the years that have been a major part of my life. There are two very important women that come to my mind when I think about someone influencing me for the better. One is still in my life, while the other has moved on to a new place.
Janis Knight and Bea Strong are two different people who have helped shaped me for the better. Mrs. Knight is my teacher at Rayville High School. She has taught me Biology, Anatomy and Physiology, and Choir. If you were to ask her, she considers me as her “right-hand

Mrs. Bea was always there when I was confused about what God wanted me to do. She would always tell me to pray and listen. Looking back on that time in my life, I can now see where I never actually done what she told me. Yes, I prayed, but I never actually listened and because of that I can see where I missed great opportunities to share my faith with others. After she left, I relied heavily on Mrs. Knight to help. This past year I found out that I will not be able play softball my senior year of high school. This will be my first year since I started playing at the age of 5, that I will not be able to play the sport I love. In fact, I will be having surgery on my shoulder on my shoulder in two weeks. This has been a real difficult time for me because I have felt as if God has left me, but Mrs. Knight continues to remind me that God’s plan is bigger than anyone can ever imagine. She has also told me that God gives us these storms so that we will be able to help someone else that might be going through something similar. In fact, Mrs. Knight is helping me gather my testimony so that I can tell it to the FCS members. It is still hard for me, as the softball season gets closer, that I won’t be able to play. Mrs. Knight has really helped me and been there for me in this difficult time. She has constantly been praying for and with me. I honestly don’t know what I would have done without her continuous help and support. Both of these women have played a major role helping me with my walk with

    Ben Carson Chapter's 7-9

    There’s an old saying by Eleanor Roosevelt that states “You can never really live anyone else's life, not even your child's. The influence you exert is through your own life, and what you've become yourself.” I believe this statement is true. However, what Eleanor Roosevelt fails to mention was who, or what kind of people come into our lives and influence us to change for the better. Do these particular individuals shape our paths, or our futures? Or when these people come into our lives is it meant to happen for a reason? No one knows for sure, but when we meet someone who leaves such a profound effect on our hearts and minds, like foot prints in the sand we remember them forever. Ben Carson always mentions that his mother helped shaped his life, as well as his family, students, teachers, his strong belief in god, and his love for books helped shaped his future. Throughout middle school, high school and college these key influences would lead him to what he has become today.…

    Everyone gets the chance to meet many people in their lives, but there is a memorable person who helped you become the character you are. I may have met this person not too ago preparing myself for high school, but my counselor Mrs. Nguyen was a major driving force in helping me become myself again. Without a counselor who was willing to be patient and assuring during my time of weakness, I would have certainly destroyed my high school career and potentially my future.…

    There are many people we meet in our lifetime. So many in fact that many are just passing faces that after time don’t even have a name. Some people last longer and become friends or even family. Then there are the few that truly have an impact on you that affect you in ways where you will never be the same. That person for me is my former saxophone teacher, and mentor Nazim Rashid. Nazim was vital in changing the negative thoughts that had haunted me since childhood, helped me understand how to deal with any difficulties I had as a teenager and laid a strong foundation that I rely on to this day.…

    I began our interview by first asking Kelsey, “What is your view or definition of good character?” She replied, “I think it is honesty, integrity, humility, and being true to who you are. Someone who is authentic.” She recalled a time as a young intern in the southwest conference when her boss didn’t always make decisions that everyone agreed with but he was fair. Her experience as his intern shaped her to be a stickler for fairness, equity, and honesty. Kelsey continued by saying, “We have our faults. You may not always like what I say. I may devour too much or not enough, but whatever is going to come out is going to be honest.”…

    My Personal Faith

    My faith has enabled me to handle life challenges from my past and present. Some of these challenges have been series of events that I could hardly believe were happening, while others came with great joy. At five years old, my younger brother, Chandler, died unexpectedly. This was a tough challenge for my whole family to face. This challenge could have easily torn my family apart but together, as a team with God, we worked hard at picking up the pieces and moving forward even when there were days that seemed to be impossible. In the fifth grade, I was diagnosed with a common learning disability known as Attention Deficit Disorder. I am faced with this challenge on a daily basis. I have learned to cope with this disorder over the years by making prayer and patience priorities in helping me conquer this challenge. This challenge was especially difficult during my SAT and ACT tests. Certain scores on these tests were required to get into college and play NCAA football. The stress and pressure of taking these tests felt unbearable at times. While studying and before and during each test, I would remind myself that, through God, all things are possible. With God by my side, I was able to achieve the scores needed to reach my college and athletic goals.…

    In 2000 I gave birth to my daughter (what a wonderful thing). I didn’t think raising a child would be as hard as it was. I thought I had a support system, but I was wrong. I felt my life was going down and I didn’t have much to live for, but after all was said and done, I still had a beautiful gift from God. I found myself a job at a gas station close to home. I struggled to make ends meet, making $ 250 to $ 300 every two weeks and paying $ 400 a month in rent. I had my other utilities plus daycare. I would pray every day to the Lord to bring me through and give me strength, not really knowing how to pray I did what I knew. But Tracy knew how to pray and she would always say” put God first in everything you do”.…

    When I first met Samantha, I was in fifth grade. We met in a summer camp the taught kids about Christianity. She was a staff member and one of my counselors in my group, the CTX, a group of sixth and seventh graders. About three weeks into camp, she took me on a One-On-One. During those minutes, she talked about her walk with Christianity. I started to realize that her life wasn’t all-smiles but that she has a hard time connecting with her family because she is the only one that is a Christian. When I asked her how could she stay so bright even in the state that she was in, she said this: “Even through hard times, the Lord will always be by my side and in return, I should trust in Him because he has a plan for me.” (Samantha Wong, 2013) I kept that saying in my notes and I still have it to give me motivation through hardships.…

    Having people in my life to help me out along my way is very important to me. I find it very helpful to have someone who has like forty or fifty years of experience in life to let me know kind of what I am up against. I mentioned my grandparents and my mother as being a huge part or my growing experience. My mom hasn’t always been around but for me she still is a huge blessing because of what she over came. My mom messed up and started doing drugs and was leaving me and my brothers at home when we were just kids. She would go off and do drugs and be gone for months and then those months turned into a year and eight months. So while my mom was away my grandparents had to take care of me and my brothers. They showed me what a marriage should be like. My pappy showed me how a godly man is supposed to carry himself and my grandmother wasn’t just good at cooking…
