Day 21

today, we discussed the idea of perceptions and creating a perception of ourselves. In this blog, write your eulogy focused on how you would hope that, in the end, people would think about you. This will probably take at least 15 sentences for you to truly reflect on this moment. This is not always easy as we must reflect on the fact that we all have mortality and, at some point, will die.

Good luck!

I would love to be remembered as the funny girl. I love to make jokes and make people laugh, i've never wanted to be a comedian, but I love being silly and joking around. I actually got grounded once for saying just kidding after everything I said. I like to think I'm outgoing, becasue I am definitly not shy. I used to get red when someone would talk to me but now I start up the conversations. So i would like to be remembered as funny and outgoing.

Mike was always known as an outgoing type of guy. If you knew Mike; you would know that he was very funny. He always made it so everyone had a smile on their face when they talked to him.

Tyler Robert McLeod
Born May 26, 1993, died November 18, 2009
This is indeed a sad day for all of us. Tyler was such a character. He lived an amazing life and was that kind of friend that you could count on. When you were in Tyler's presence he gave you his undivided attention. Tyler was always up for the newest video games that he enjoyed with his friends (whether it be a Madden game or Call of Duty) he played his heart out.

When we think of Tyler we would all agree that he did not conform to other people's way of life. If he wanted to wear shoe strings that were different colors; he did so. He lived life on the principles of pride, dignity, and respect. Tyler was the kind of person that brought happiness into the lives of his parents, sister, and friends. Rachel was there for him every minute of his life and helped him through many of his difficult moments; his father was his inspiration (wow 17 marathons); and his mother was his number one advesary. He had a special bond with his Aunt Pam and cousin Adam, the brother that he never had.

Tyler lived a wonderful life & was well loved by many for the good things he has done on this earth. He is now in heaven and this is not a time to grieve his death but celebrate his wonderful life.

Tayler Chase was an amazing person. She had a heart for helping people and always wanted to be there for them. She was willing to put her self before others. Tayler loved God with all her heart and she spent her life doing His will. She was someone that we could always go to for help or advice. Althought sometimes she was sad and maybe even a little depressed she still tried to cheer up other. Tayler loved her name, she thought it fit perfect with her personality because its a little different. Even thought Tayler didn't live with her mom through out high school they were still very close and they had a special connection. When she was ten her dad died but with God's help she got through it along with many other trials. She will be leaving behind her bestfriend Lena who she always had a special connection with. Also she will leave behind many loved ones. As i said before Tayler always wanted to be happy, so with her in mind we need to be too, she will be spending eternity with an amazing God and we should be happy for her.

Dennessa Degen said...

I would like to be remembered in high school, as the girl who could always make you laugh. I want to be remembered as the girl who brightened your day up by making you smile. I have always been told that I have a gift for making people laugh. Some people want to be remembered by being the smartest or most athletic. But those only help you. I love to make people laugh, I myself get nothing more than seeing the joy and laughter on one someone’s face after I tell I joke or make a funny comment. When people look at me, I want them to see that time when they were down, and I said something that made them laugh and it changed their mood. They say that laughter is the best medicine. I can vouch for that cause I have seen it work magic time and time again. I have seen people suffering and for a brief moment, laughter made them forget about the pain, or at least eased it. That is why I want to be remembered for it. I love to hear people laugh at my jokes, and all my crazy stories. I don’t care if people remember me or not. All I care about is brightening someone day with a smile, and if they remember me for it, thats great. If not that is ok. Because laughter is the gift that keeps giving. And I am proud to be one that gives it so much.

Everyone seemed to love him, the girls were always after him, but he stuck with the one girl that stole his heart. John and his grilfriend would try to hangout almost everyday. He enjoyed playing with his dog Kirby, which he played fetch with everyday. Just got okay grades, but didn't always aplly himself to his full potential, in his heart he always knew he was capable of doing better but never sought to do so.

As the years move on and i get older, i realize i am eventually going to pass away. Knowing this, i truly feel that creating perceptions of myself is really important. As i grew up, my parents always told me to made good impressions of myself as i grew up. They also expressed to me how important this was, so people did not look at the Risi name badly in anyway. Though my parents have tought me to present myself in a good manner, i personally like to here people say i nice i am and other things. I persoanlly would like to be known as a boy with good common sence. To be the one to take the keys from his friend before driving under the influence is one of the many good deeds i would like to be known for. I would also liked to be known as a very polite kid. I do not eant people or adults to look at me as a bully or a trouble maker, but a nice man. The thing that kills me is the way people look at not just me but other people based on teh people in which they or I hang out with. Yes, some of my friends i choose to hang with do come accrossed as goof offs, but that does not mean i do the same. Though i do have those friends, deep inside all of those kids carry nice mannered traits. So now knowing me, dont judge me based off my friends, get to know me and you will learn im acctually a good hearted, and well-being young man.

Jessica Rosalind Klave,
Born on October 20th 1993 and died on November 18th 2009 at sixteen years of age. Though only living a short life, Jessica made a huge impact on her loved ones. Her incredible sense of humor managed to make her friends and family laugh even when laughter didn’t seem possible. All though she found hanging out with her friends to be her favorite pass time, if someone truly needed something she was always there. Jessica started playing soccer when she was five years old and looked forward to trying out for the varsity team at her high school in the spring. As a child Jessica was shy but as she grew up, she developed an outgoing personality that will truly be missed. Although Jessica wouldn’t want us to mourn, she would prefer for us to celebrate her life. It will truly be difficult to move on without her around and to see her smile again. Although she didn’t quite figure out what she wanted to do when she finished high school, I believe whatever she ended up doing would have involved helping people because that is what she truly enjoyed. Her family and friends should take comfort in the fact that she is now in heaven looking down as guardian angel.

Born June 18 1993
Died on November 18 2009, at the age of 16
Nicole was a very considerate person and loved to help others. She was not perfect she did have her flaws but that is what made her, her. She tried her hardest in school, but had trouble remembering to turn in assignments and study for tests. She loved to hang out with her friends and family. Nicole loved to laugh and make others laugh. It made her smile to se that she made someone else smile. Nicole would hate when she saw someone that was sad or when they looked like they needed a hug and no one gave them one, sometimes she would go up to the person(if she knew them even a little) and hug them. It made her feel good to make someone else feel good. Not many of her class mates saw that girl unless they got to know her really well. Nicole was a self-conches person. she sometimes would feel embarrassed to do something because she wouldn’t want to be judged, but other times the 5 year old would come out in her and she would do something totally embarrassing. She wouldn’t really care until the moment was over then her face would go beat red. She went through rough times but it only made her stronger. She was loved by many. She had a very large family but didn’t live around most of them but tried her best to see them on the weekends. Her favorite season was summer. She loved outdoor activities like camping, swimming, fishing, even hunting, kayaking, hiking, softball and just being outside in the sun or in the woods. And just like every other teenage girl she was boy obsessed. Nicole will always be remembered and never forgotten. She will be missed more than words can explain.

Allyson Lee Martin,
Born October 13th 1993, passed away November 18th 2009.
Allyson was a very outgoing girl. She provided counsel and wisdom. She shared her joyous smile and laugh. She shared her zest for life and the passion for all those things that were important to her. allyson was a difficult, unusual and complex girl. She was not big on verbal or physical expressions of her love, but rather she showed us with her actions. She always had a temper and had a bitchy attitude, but if she didn't have those qualities she would not be the person everyone loves. Above all, allyson is a figure of unconditional love. love was the major fabric by which she created her tapestry of life. her unconditional strong love is what has made our family what it is today and what will keep us together from this day forward.
i believe that every person in their own unique way, creates a legacy in their lifetime by which others can live long after that person has left us. For those of us who remain, allyson martin has truly created a legacy to uphold and fulfill in our daily lives. I firmly believe that this carrying out is a true honor and responsibility by means of the various facets that Allyson has made her own. it is all of these elements love, spirit, family, integrity, and joy that are fabrics by which allyson created her tapestry of life. However each us knew her, ally, alyypoo, daughter, friend, sister, she has also always been a child of God and now stands beside him to make sure that we all carry forth all of that which she has taught us.

She knew the value of honesty, and self awareness and was always trying to do something for others, before herself. Rachel spent most of her time either with her friends and family, riding her horse, or dancing. Dancing was always her true passion, and she persued that passion for 12 years. Her didication to her family and her hobbies made her a better overall person, and it is a shame to have lost her.

The day that i die, i hope i am remembered by many people. I dont know how many people will remember me, but i hope i am remembered for good deeds and the things that i did well. And most of all i hope im remembered for more of who i am instead of what i did. Over the years, i want to make as many friends as possible, and make good friends, so that in the end im thought of as a great person. Before i die, which i hope is many many years away, i hope i can live my life and do all i want to do in my lifetime. You only get to live once, and with this one life, i want to know i have no regrets by the time i die. Knowing that one day i will pass on, i also want to pass on my family name. One thing that is important to my family, is to make sure there is a next generation to live the wardlow name, and to keep our history alive. In the end i want people to think of me as a good, friendly person, and to know i lived a happy life.

She was pretty hyper almost all of the time. She could never sit still. She always knew how to make people laugh if they were upset. You could really go to Hannah with anything and she could find a way to help you out, she was very giving. She cared a lot about school, even though sometimes she didn't do the best in it. She cared a lot about her friends and family they were always first in her eyes. Hannah loved cheerleading and gymnastics. She has been doing both for almost her whole life. She also played softball since she was 4 but she quit that when she got in high school. Hannah had one dream and that was to make up for all the bad things she has ever done in her life. She hated knowing sometimes she messed up pretty bad. Over all hannah was a giving, caring,obnoxious, and fun person to have in your life. She always put others before her.

I want to be the type of person that you will always remember. I hope in the end I made a good impression on everyone, because its very important. I dont want to be remembered for the stuff I did in high school. I want to make more of myself. Its hard to really choose how I really want to be remembered. I hope that I can be remember as the type person who made you laugh. Especially with my best friends and howuch fun we had together. Also, how caring I was and how I was always their for my friends no matter what. I hope they remember that no matter how much we hung out or talked that I was alway their for them. But I just want to know that I lived my life to the fullest, and didnt regret one moment in the end.

Samantha Elizabeth Tedder
Born December 8, 1992, died November 18, 2009 at 16 years of age. Samantha was a lover, and a fighter. She was very easy to get along with. She stood up for what is right. Sam was a person that could help you solve any problem, or give you great advice. She listened to everything you had to say, just like any great friend. She always knew what to say to make you smile; her goal in life was to make everyone happy. Her passions were music, art and photography. She never left her house without her camera, she captured things she couldnt say thru her photographs. Marching band consumed her life for a period of time. Eat, sleep, breathe band. She was a phenomenal musician. Instead of using words, she moved people with music. People call her a hippie. She was big on saving the environment, and spreading peace. She left behind her loving family. A father, mother, sister, and grandma that meant absolutly everything to her. She spent much of her time with her family. Her family will always remember her for the smile that was always on her face. Her friends will remember her caring smile, and crazy/silly comebacks. Sam was a silly person, and always had the weirdest repsonse to anything. She loved being lame, and acting like a little kid. In her mind, she would never grow up. Sam will always be remembered for putting others before herself, and for being silly, and caring.

Death is a occurance in everyone's life. It is something that all humans are expecting. When I pass away I want other peoples' perspective of me to be a positive one. I want to be remembered for the positive aspects that I brought into the world through my life. I would want people to miss me. I would want them to think about me often. I would want people to be inspired by some of my accomplishments in my life. I want to be remembered for my dancing. I would want the joy it brought me to help others find joy in the things that they love to do. I would want my dedication to it to inspire others to be dedicated and perservere in all they do. I would also want people to learn from my many mistakable actions in my life; to look at the negative and make it positive. I would hope that my memory would bring joy to others but not saddness. I would want others not to look as my passing a tragedy but as the next step. A step that all must take to fulfill their existence on Earth. My values are also something I want to be remembered by. My dedication to education and work ethic would be the utmost quality I would want to be remembered by. Each day I try to live life knowing that someday I will be gone and try to keep up my reputation so that someday people will miss me and take something from my life and put it, somehow, into theirs.

ZACK SZAJNER 5th Hour said...

In this blog, write your eulogy focused on how you would hope that, in the end, people would think about you. This will probably take at least 15 sentences for you to truly reflect on this moment. This is not always easy as we must reflect on the fact that we all have mortality and, at some point, will die.
Zachery Louis Szajner,
Entered this world on October 9th 1993, and left on November 18th 2009 at 5:00 pm. Zack will be greatly missed. For those who truly know Zack, would know what he bought into our lives day in and day oout. Always there for someone to talk to, and someone to laugh at. Zacks personality was one filled with kindness, and happiness. Zack wasnt someone who was grumpy, and very seldomly you saw him in anger. But what Zack left for us, is more than his personality. Zack was someone who had balance in his life. He allowed himself to play two sports at an elite level and maintain good grades. This si not here to brag about his accomplishments, but to show you that whatever you put your mind to, you can accomplish. If you manage your time right, and work your hardest you will be able to push through any situation. Never give up, give everything your all, and never back down, were words he lived by, and take this from him. He leaves behind, his father, Derek, mother, Carolyn, and sister, Hannah. He will be missed greatly by all other friends and relatives. A bright smile, with a bright future has left us, but learn from him, as it would make him proud.

Andrew could always put a smile on her face. Andrew was a very fit, and athetic person. He loved participating in school sports, and he always did his best to stay in shape, and help himself improve. His friends really liked him because he was a jokster, he always brought comedy to the circle, whenever him and his friends hung out. In school and outside of school he pushed himself to be better than he had ever been before. In his spare time, he was always playing video games, or being with Alanna. He really liked to play xbox with his friends. Andrew wanted to go to central or michigan state college, even though he'd sometimes joke about getting in to west point. After college he wanted to serve in the military, specifically the marines. He was mainly focused on protecting people and he always said he didnt want to be stuck behind a desk. Unfortunatley he didnt get to live out his dreams, and his life was cut short, Andrew will be missed greatly.

Dan Calma said...

Daniel Joy Calma,
Daniel was a person that you wanted as a friend. He could be the nicest person ever if you got to know him. Daniel didn't like his middle name because it was the opposite of what he knew life was capable of. He didn't care what others thought of him and he felt that you either like him or not. He has left behind his family and his good friends. He liked to joke and make fun of himself. Once he realized he needed to try in life he started doing his homework and joined the wrestling team, which he found as a good outlet for his anger. He always put a mask on around company to try to hide what he felt inside. People may have seen him as happy but at times he would get really depressed. He tried to make his friends look at the good things in life even though he never did. He thought that by looking at the bad things in life you learn how not to let more bad things happen. Some people could tell he was bright but was too stupid to use his brain and think. Daniel never put much thought into anything he did, which was why he was prone to accidents. He was a perfect example of the saying, "idleness is the enemy of the soul", because he did really stupid, fun but stupid things when he got bored. Many people agree that is was a great person to know.

John Kent

It is hard to eulogize the life of someone so young. It seems that life has just started. John was beginning a life that was going to be amazing. John was a good young man. He was kind, dedicated and faithful. He enjoyed spending time with his family. He was a devoted friend. He was a real animal lover, especially to his dogs. John was faithful. He served as an altar boy for a little more that 6 years. He was diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder when he was in 3rd grade. Even so, he was the D.A.R.E. Essay Award Winner in 5th grade. School was a struggle. He overcame difficult odds to become a good student. He was planning on going to college and become an engineer. To sum up John’s life, He was just beginning to shine but God needed him more than we did.

Emma Marie Flynn (16)

Emma always worked hard even though she had a hectic scedule and she always had more and more plans for each day. She spent her entire life trying to make everyone else around her happy. Emma was a caring person. She cared about others more than many people will ever know. Setting many goals in life, her main calling was to make a difference. It could be in the world, it could be in one person but regardless, Emma yearned to make positive change. Her friends considered her a true and loyal friend through which they could always depend on to give good advice and more importantly listen. Emma valued her friends and found friendship in everybody no matter who they were or how they looked. She always had a smile on her face. Emma found one of her biggest joys in life was to make the people around her laugh. She once said, "i find, the biggest joy in life is laughter ." She was not embarrassed when her uncoordination amd clumziness caused her to make a fool of herself at times, instead she was ablr to laugh at herself and keep on smiling. One of her best qualities was that Emma knew how to have fun. It did not take a lot to entertain her and keep her happy. She could care less about expensive shiney things, instead she was happy when the people around her were happy. Emma thought about things a lot and the ones who knew her well, knew that she was quite deeper than she let on. Emma Flynn will be missed by the people she surrounded herself with, the ones she loved and the people she touched throughout her young life time.
