Most Valuable Person

     The person I value most is my dad. He brings the support in my life that I need. He is the one that brings the calmness into my life. He helps me out whenever I have a problem, whether it be school or something else.
     Him being able to support me really helps out. He helps out my mom by giving her child support which allows me to have the material items that I do. My dad has even started a college fund to help me for when I go and finish college. He has given the stability in my life, and that is my dad is the most valuable person in my life.

What I did this summer

The most exciting thing I did this summer was go to Cedar Point. I started my day at Cedar Point with the Rapter, since it had a short because it had broken down a few minutes before hand. After having my legs dangle while flying through the , I moved on to the Dragster. The Dragste consists of being shot off at 60mph while traveling up and then down 500ft. Next on my list of excitement was the Maveric. After 2 hours of waiting I got to enjoy an inverted fall that was followed by crazy twist and turns. I then went for the Gate Keeper but it happened to be the most boring roller coaster. The Gemini ended my day leaving me satisfied and with hurting feet.

My Name, Ryan

My name is a very common one. It can be seen on billboards, TV, and even the night sky. I have met a lot of people with my name. It can get pretty annoying when I have to share my name with the person next to me and be left guessing when someone calls out ”Ryan”.

When I was in baseball there were three other guys with my name. My name was Gordon when I was on the team. My coach would always call me Flash Gordon and I would have no idea what that meant. I always thought it had to do with my slow running.

 The name “Ryan” comes from Irish and means “king”. My middle name, Michael, was passed down from my dad. It was the name of an archangel in the bible and means “who is like god”. My last name is Gordon and means “great hill”. Altogether my name means “King who is like god of the great hill.”

 

The #1 Rule

My number one rule in life is to not live in the past. Living in the past can only degrade present or future experiences, and cause a person to dwell on things that cannot be changed. No one can change the past; we can only learn from mistakes and choose not to repeat them. Learning from past mistakes is important in gaining life experience. Dwelling on the past can affect someone’s mental and physical health. If someone has a negative past experience that they do not let go of, they might get depressed or angry more often and be unable to move forward in life. If someone is angry or sad all of the time they might have difficulty with relationships and making new happy memories and experiences. I firmly believe that everyone should focus on the present and future and live life to the fullest. After all, we only live once.
