Autobiography
In this paper, My life and what has happened and what will and what I want to
happen will be shown in this paper, Including my lifestyle, my home & family, friends,
Hobbies, interests, and so on and so forth. My life as a whole will be described in this paper.

My name is Justin Allen McCown. This name was founded and thought of well at
Clare hospital, where my mother had given birth to me. I was born on August 1 , at 12:08
st

A.M. My mothers name is Bobbie McCown, Her maiden name being Vollmar (A very
large and expansive family, most I havent even met) and my father, Matthew McCown.
My mother works in the cleaning industry, but is currently studying to become a veterinary
technician. My father works in the metal industry, working at Alro Steel right here in
Clare, Michigan, the same place I was born. I am the first born child, with a girl and then

another

boy. The daughter, Hailey, did not survive, though, as she had

problems with her lungs and she died the day she was born. It was a very sad day, and I
was only 3. My favorite memory with my family would probably have to be Traveling to all
of the 5 great lakes, and going out-of-state to so see these lakes. We had gone to cities I had
never seen before, such as Cleveland, Chicago, and Boston. It is the furthest out I have been
from my home. I havent been to any other country, which is something that I wish and
plan to do. My brother. Sometimes he can be okay, and other times he can be absolutely
infuriating. It just depends on how we each woke up on what side of the bed, I guess.
I dont really have much likes or dislikes about anything, Im kind of a neutral
person on many topics. I dislike talking about controversial things that can lead up to
arguments, because again, Im a neutral person. I like it when everyone can agree on things
and can just get along. My responsibilities are mostly chores. Things such as vacuuming,
dishwashing, and general cleaning. Other than this, I dont really have very many
responsibilities around the home or out of home. I guess school could probably be a
responsibility as well. Im not in any clubs currently, but I have joined a few over the few
years that I have been alive. Clubs like the moose club, soccer/baseball, and even football
for about a year. My hobbies include sitting at home and watching entire seasons of shows a
night on Netflix, shooting some hoops, playing video games, watching TV, basically, Im
lazy whenever I get the chance to be. Its probably pretty humane to be the most satisfied in
doing something that is actually physical, because other than sports/physical activity I
dont really have anything that I or anyone else looking at this paper would be satisfied
about. My most favored achievement would probably be baseball. I am the best at baseball

out of any other sports that I have tried (On a personal level) and actually enjoy and have
fun doing it. The books I read are mostly books that I have to read in order to get a good
grade in school, but recently I have found a book series called Tunnels which is a series
that I really enjoy, and it might just be my favorite so far. (Keeping in mind that I dont
read books very often.) I like it because I can relate to the character(s) in the story, Will
and Chester, who escape their suburban life by finding new hobbies that leads to new
discoveries. Speaking of books, most books usually come out of movies. My favorite movie
would probably have to be The Avengers. This movie is one of my favorite movies because
the actors play the characters just so well and I thought it would be a spot-on
representation of what would happen in the canon story (Material made by the author)
more than most movies. I dont really like any computer games, but DoTA and Garrys
mod are some that I like. I mostly research on the internet for school projects.
I used to attend Harrison schools from when I was little boy, up until seventh grade.
I then moved to Clare schools afterward, beginning in 8th grade and I plan to stay here until
the end. I remember that my first teachers name was Mrs. Gould, a preschool teacher that
had taught me the knowledge I would need in kindergarten and forward early. She later
became my 6th grade science teacher. I enjoy science and shop class the most, if I had to
pick, mainly because I just find them the easiest to deal with. My favorite teacher would be
Mr. Hales from 8th grade. Its just that he was always optimistic and always knew how to be
happy even through tough times. I also understood his teaching style well. I remember lots
of things that my previous teacher have said thats why Ive became more intelligent over
the years. If not for them, I would still have the brain of a baby. I wish to learn multiple

Justin McCown 4

languages at once, and hope that Spanish next year will be a gateway for this. My
achievements over the year have improved drastically, especially my grades. I have went
from 2 Es in the fifth grade, slowly increasing my grades to becoming an AS and BS as o
went up through the academic ladder.
My fathers career is a job at the Alro Steel Company, he uses regular sheet metals
of all kinds to make different parts that other companies would use to assemble their
products. Basically, it is a company that gets paid for by other companies who buy their
products. My Mothers career is cleaning, and she currently works at McLarens hospital
as a medical cleaner (She cleans laundry, surgical equipment, etc.) My grandmothers
career was working as a worker at Jays sporting goods. She helped people to find what
they wanted to buy and persuaded people to buy things in general (A living advertising
board, basically) my grandfathers career was a security guard at the soaring eagle casino
and resort in Mount Pleasant. Both my grandmother and my grandfather are both retired.
I wouldnt see me liking any of these jobs, I would like to go into the construction field as
many tests have shown that I would be best at.
As a child, and still even now, I liked to build things. As a child I tried to build
various things out of wood, such as bird houses, toy cars, etc. Now that I am older I know
what I would like to get into specifically. I would like to get into architecture, again,
specifically architectural engineering. This field both allows me to construct and also
construct them in innovative and creative ways.

I have worked at home only, with only a few times that I have worked outside of it. I
have done community service a few times, and I have also done work for my nearby
neighbors (Such as lawn mowing, raking, yard cleaning, etc.) I have also babysitter for my
little brother when he was younger. My responsibilities at home are Dishwashing,
vacuuming, window cleaning, table cleaning, mirror cleaning, and the occasional bathroom
cleaning. I am a kind of Get it done worker.
I am a son, brother, student, grandson, and a volunteer (Out of the listed selections).
The role I value the most is a student. If not for the education I have been getting it would
be much harder for me to find out who I really am. It helps me see what I can and what I
want to do, what I dont want to do, and what I COULD do. I value family, but if I wasnt a
student I wouldnt know how to feel about them or anything else.
My good qualities would probably be my kindness and humbleness. I dont ever
judge someone as lower than me whatsoever, I see every single person as an equal. I dont
discriminate, and I try to be as kind and following to everyone as I can and try to avoid
anyone with negative feelings towards me or any of my friends. I try to look down at other
peoples perspective and try to see through their eyes if they have any problems, thinking
about what I would do if I were in the same situation. I have made a few good
accomplishments in my life. I prevented a fight in the hallway between two kids in the
hallway in my old school, and worked it out with them. I take and have taken into
consideration all of the suggestions by my peers about how to alter my life for the better. I
have also given suggestions to them, and have tried to help them through it. I try to make
everything agreeable for everyone.

Basically, my life isnt great and it isnt bad. My interests and ideas are what make
me, my family, and my friends who we are, and what we are. I try to make everyone happy,
while trying to make my own life in high spirits. I help around the community every once in
a while, but I like to have some help to myself, too. This is my life, and my life only.
