My Inspiration free essay sample

â€Å"The movie was filmed in Arizona.† My mother began to tell another story about him. We were in the kitchen making pasta with the tomatoes that we collected from our garden. â€Å"They asked him to make a buffet table for one of the scenes. It was so beautiful. It took him hours to finish, so every last detail was perfect. When the director yelled action, a man ran into it destroying the whole thing! They were using it in a fight scene for a western movie!† I hear stories like this about the man who inspired me to get into culinary and I can’t help but think Wow†¦that was MY great uncle Frank (known as Cali, a shortened version of our last name Caliendo). He died when I was young and lived states away, so my memories of him are scarce. I met him only once and can only remember physical, insignificant, details of his backyard, which is where I spent most of my time, while he was in the kitchen. He graduated from Hastings as a class valedictorian and national merit scholar. He attended college at the University of Nebraska at Lincoln, and earned a degree in criminal justices. After college, he married his first wife, Kathy. They were married for 11 years and had no children and divorced. They lived in Lincoln, Nebraska during that time. They also went on several mission trips to small Central American countries. After they divorced, my uncle moved to a private community on a private lake outside of Ashland, Nebraska. He lived their before he met a girlfriend named Vicky. They date for 6 months before breaking up. He then had another girlfriend named Kim, who lived in Denver, Colorado. He was considering moving in with her, when they broke up. He now has a girlfriend whose name is Lisa. They have been dating for about 3 months. My uncle currently works in the federal justice department of Nebraska, as a probation officer. He deals with some of the worst criminals in Nebraska. He first got interested in criminal justice as a freshman in high school, when a cop came in and talked on career day. After that, he had his mind made up that he wanted to work with criminals when he was grown up. He has been well off, as well. He lives in a $250,000 dollar home. He has a pretty sweet house, and some sweet stuff. All through my uncle’s life, he has loved children. Due to medical problems, he has never been able to have any of his own, so whenever he gets the chance to spend time with his nieces and nephews, he cherishes it. That is why every summer he invites me and all of my cousins out to his house for one week, just to hang out with him. It’s pretty awesome. So, in a nutshell, that is my uncle’s life up until this point. He is a pretty cool guy, with a lot of cool stuff. He is an inspiration in my life, and others as well.
