Hello, I'm a typical teenager at an age of 17 and you can see, my name is Peter Yang. I'm going to tell you a little short version about my life, so pay close attention. I was born in the city of Green Bay (still live in Green Bay). Someday, I'll move out of this town in the future.
Okay, about the time when I was five years old, I had this amaging relationship with my father. Aksing him if I can go fishing with him, spending trips fishing over the summer, leaving the house at five in the morning and coming home around four in the afternoon. Life just seemed to go up and down (even though we were not that fortunate enough) we still had a roof over our head, food to eat, and a great big family to share laughter and moments together (just so you know, there are then of us, which I think is a lot, but not including my grandmother or parents).
In the 4th grade, my grandmother past away, it was one of the hardest event for my family and I, but we made it through. We all knew that she is in a better place, who will be watching over us, and maybe one day we will meet again. A year after my grandmother's death, my father died. The death of my father made us hit rock bottom, mostly for my mother. Not only in sorrow and heartache, but financially as well. Raising ten kids all on her own. I seemed to have gone from that innocent young child into a troublesome young man, yet to this day, my father's death is still a huge impact on me.
As the years gone by, realizing that sometimes things happen for a reason and sometimes, things WILL happen without a reason. I struggled throughout my years in high school, working part time, keeping my grades up. It's just hard, but you have to do what you have to do no matter what. I am getting a hold on with my life and getting closer to my goals everyday. I hope that whoever had the time to read my story, you can benefit from it. Live life to the fullest, enjoy what you have with your loved ones. They ARE the biggest impact on your life, so appreciate what life brings you.
I know that ever since losing my father, I still recall all the great times we had together. It's not the bad things that you shouldn't remember, but the best things that happened. My name is Peter Yang and this is my story about LIFE. |
