On November 23, 1998 at 2:57 PM at the Louisville medical center I was born. I was the best anniversary present they could ask for. They thought I was going to be a boy, Jackson Reid, up until the point Dr. Collins said it's a girl! I was exactly 8 pounds 0 ounces and was 20.5 inches, I had blue eyes and dark hair. Every single thing that had our last name on it in the hospital room was spelled wrong. My first name is emry, because they met this family who had a little girl that spelled it Emory. So they decided to take it spelled a different way. My middle name is Fisher. My pop in Milton loves to fish and it also comes from the verse in Matthew. "Come follow me, and I will make you fishers of men."– Matthew 6:19 Of course I had many firsts …show more content…

I can remember the exact layout of the house every single part except for my room, apparently it was yellow. I spent a lot of time with my cousins and swimming at my Mimi and Papa's house. Every month we would drive to Dallas to meet up with my papa Milton and have dinner. I had this John Deere tractor for kids of course and I wrote that all over the yard it was my favorite thing.

There was absolutely nothing to do for little kids. No pool, no pond, no playground, I played in the rocks. The house you were staying in the woods of the flight of 75 stairs, so when we went up, we went up for the night. One night my mom decided that it be OK to leave us up there and join Camp for the night, she had done it a couple times before. I did up getting out of bed to go to the bathroom and when I tried to leave the bathroom the door was too heavy so I couldn't get it open, I was stuck in there for pretty long time. Haddie took advantage of that and pretty much threw everything out of her crib, and when my mom came in she said "mom I have a partay". While we were there we somehow got a hold of a new Braunfels newspaper and saw that the neighborhood we were moving into got
I have been fishing the lakes and rivers of the southeastern United States for most of my life and for most of that time I have been pursuing the common carp. But about 15 years ago I started catching these strange new fish occasionally when I was carp fishing. I can remember as if it were yesterday the first time I landed this stunning silver giant, and I had not a clue what it was. At the end of that session I rushed home and began looking thru every book I had on fresh water fishes. Finally, I found a picture of a fish that I believed was the same one I had caught. It was a White Amur or as it is more commonly known, grass carp.
She remembers hiking to a waterfall where a park ranger was looking through binoculars. She said they were looking for a dead body because someone committed suicide and jumped off the cliff into the massive waterfall. My mom said she remembers always going to a new campsite each night in the motor home. She also claimed the campsites seemed to be very close together. She remembers seeing a black bear, Old faithful, and all the hotpots. In Montana she remembers going into a museum. My mother recalls telling my family multiple times not to get too close to the buffalo.
My brother and I had our own rooms at the time. He was eight and I was eleven. We live in a cozy three bedrooms house. One day our parents asked us to come into the living room. There were two bags on the couch and they told us to see what’s inside. Inside were delicious jelly beans and a black shirt. I unfolded the shirt and in big blue letters it said Big Brother. Then my brother unfolded his and it said the same thing. We both stared at our mom and realized she was pregnant. We were so excited, and later we find out it’s a boy. Our parents also told us that we would have to share a room, and we were fine with that.
Although we started to live with our new family June 4, 2004, we officially got adopted on February 18, 2005. This family was very ice and made us feel like we were at home. We were sad that we could not stay with the other family we did enjoy this family too. The first summer we lived with them we went to Disney world ,which was a lot of fun. I remember being super scared on a ride that was like the power tower but it was dark, and being 6 I was scared out of my mind.
My very first memory that I can recall is from our old house which isn't there anymore Jacob Donner's family built a new one right where it is to be. I can remember running around with my mom's old dog sugar witch was old so i'm sure she was always annoyed with me playing with her but I would dress up as a cowboy and there was an old John Wayne movie where he had a dog that followed him everywhere he went and did what he told him to and I would pretend that was us and we would pretend we were in a fight with Indians or bandits and I used my old cap gun to fight them off. I spent most of my time downstairs and can't even remember what the upstairs looked like the only two rooms I can remember is the kitchen and the living
...nts' house. She spent many hours with me making cookies and teaming up on my brother. I told her all my secrets and dreams. When I had to go back home, she would always write me letters. They were actually written by my grandpa. My mom tried to read them to me, but I wouldn't let her. However, I didn't know how to read, so I finally had to give in and let her read them to me.
On that fateful day in March, I was a couple months shy of my third birthday. My family and I lived in New Mexico at the time and were renting a house with an outdoor in-ground pool. The day was beautiful. I was outside with my oldest sister Rachel and my father. Rachel was diligently reading curled up on a bench that sat against the house, and my father was mowing the backyard. My mother and my other sister were in the house. Off to one side of the house there was a group of large bushes. I was playing over there with one of her large cooking pots, off in my own little world. At one point while amusing and en...
After Mother died, we moved for a while to Hooterville in Oklahoma City. I remember all those families living in rusted out car bodies. One family was living in a piano box. This wasn't just a little section of town, Father later told me the size of Hooterville was 10 miles wide and 10 miles long.
I don't have a lot of fantastic memories of childhood. There were no spectacular family adventures, no unique family projects that taught some sort of moral lesson, no out-of-the-ordinary holidays. We ate family meals together, but most of the time the children and adults lived in different worlds. The kids went to school, did homework, and played; the adults worked. I was lucky, though. When I wanted a little of both worlds, I could always turn to Grandpa.
Before I moved to Berwyn I use to live in the Northside of Chicago. I remember walking to Tony’s on the weekends with my mother. It was this Chinese restaurant down that was street from our house .The clerk women knew my mother and would always tell my mom how handsome I was. She would also ask if I wanted a lollipop and I would always pick the blueberry one .Then we would walk back to the house only to be greeted by aunt smoking outside with our dog laying in the grass. Felt was a large sized dog, but at that age, I believed he was almost as big as a horse. Then we would bring out our nice dishes and have a family meal. This gave a feeling of warmth and security. It is sad that my family and I did not stay there now, however I love the house I am at now

Fishing is a wonderful sport. Heading out for a day of fishing is almost always enjoyable. Sometimes it's relaxing, other times it's exhilarating, and at times it's downright exciting. It's especially exciting when it's time to fish for marlin. It's important to use the correct rod, reel and lure.
I don't know many stories about when my mother was little. She has forgotten most everything, and even now her memory is terrible.
The entire family got together and it was always a last minute thing but no matter what was going on we all decide we would go up to County Park Lake to have family time. There would be my grandma and my Aunts and Uncles and their kids when we pulled up to the parking lot.

My mom was incarcerated during the time so I lived with my Aunt Pompom. Aunt Pompom never let me and my cousins wake up late for school and if we did, we were driven. Coincidentally on this day both my cousin Zay and I over slept. So we jump up frantically and start putting on our clothes. In the mist of putting on my clothes I come on my menstrual cycle a week before it is supposed to come on. Then, to top that off when we tried to get my aunt up and she told us “yall over sleeping ass better walk”. She did not care if it was my birthday or not. So sadly Zay and I start walking and little did I know nature was also against me, it started to drizzle. I could feel every drip that dropped on me, I just knew I would smell like a wet dog once I got to school. The feelings I had walking were unimaginable I could have just clasped to the ground right then and there because there was no way my day could be enlightened it been ruined from the moment I
