What is History? History is the systematic study and documentation of the human past. For Instance, my name is Anthony Joseph Hopkins and I was born on Thursday June 24, 1965 at 7:30pm. My mother's name is Mary Lou's Hopkins and my father's name is Joseph Odell Webb. The hospital that I was born was St. Elizabeth Medical Center in Dayton, Ohio.
Next, I was living at the time with my two living grandmothers and aunt inside of a two bedroom house on West First Street in Dayton, Ohio. I remember when I was a child, I lived with my grandparents for several years. I went to Edison Elementary School. I want all of you to know that I was only a C average student. I attended Edison Elementary School from 1971-1979. I attended Franklin School for one year.
Further, I was a child who has experienced both physically and mentally as well as emotional abuse. I have five brothers and two sisters right now. I do recall getting chased home by my fair weather friends. During that period of my life, I do remember suffering from tuberculosis for nine years from 1976 to 1985. I had to take Ciphro Flacin twice per day for several years.
Moreover, I do remember watching television when President Richard Nixon resigned from government and the Vietnam War on television as well. Personally, I would rather be in school or my grandparents house instead of my mother's house. I went to school and I got into fist fights with various people for several years. I do recall spending time with my half siblings. I was a latch key child for several years.
Also, I used to have problems with math. I did very well in my other classes. I do remember going to school just to eat breakfast and lunch only. Jesus Christ is my personal Savior. I have waivered in my faith in God. My personal history was rough. I was an extrovert and an introvert at the same time. I remember working for the Dayton Daily Newspaper Company for four years.
In Addition, I used to have bad teeth as a child and adult. I took better care of myself back then compared to right now. I had a lot of structure during that time. I am going to say this and mean it. I really need structure in my life right now. I want to say that I am a procrastinator. I am not a lazy person, but I tend to become complaisant. My history consists of playing sports. I played basketball with the YMCA for four years.
Currently, I have written three books for many years. My first book is called The Best of Anthony Hopkins. I wrote that book back in July of 2000. I have published two books with Authorhouse Publications. My second book is called My Grace is Sufficient for Me and my most recent book is called Essays. My books consists of essays that I have written based on my relationship with God.
In my personal life, I have been in and out of mental health institutions. For the past 26 years, I have suffered from Schizoid Affective Disorder and Schizophrenia. I am guilty of spending too much time by myself. For the past 29 years, I lost my great grandmother. As soon as I saw her inside of a casket, I lost my mind. I new that she was not coming back to life. I lost my family members and I am devastated. I will admit that I have been hearing voices from people from my past.
Finally, I am a 58 years old now and I am very depressed. I write a lot about my personal life. I rarely have visitors coming over my apartment. I want to inform all of you that my life is very important to me. I do remember on Saturday February 13, 2010, I tried to kill myself by taking all of my pills at one time. I almost died during that time. I will admit that I suffer from seizures. I have been suffering from seizures for 41 years now. I understand that a person relationship with God is more important than death itself. I graduated from High School and College at Paul Laurence Dunbar on Tuesday June 10, 1986 and I graduated twice from the University of Toledo in 1993 & 1995. I do remember living in Toledo, Ohio and Charlotte NC. I remember working at the University of Toledo from 1992-1996. I worked at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte from 2001-2009. I have maintained a Counselor Assistant License from 1993-2010. I have had a good career as a Youth Counselor from 1993-1996.
In Conclusion, I am a very intelligent man who has a lot of common sense. I am a person who has a lot of friends. I have both good friends and bad ones. I am losing my eyesight because I have suffered from glaucoma and cataracts from 2005-present. I have suffered from Diabetes from 2015-present. I have suffered from Schizoid Affective Disorder from 1997-present. My history is not glamorous. I am just an average person who has a lot of debt. I owe the University of North Carolina at Charlotte a total of $30,000 dollars in student loans. I live in an apartment in Northwest side of Dayton, Ohio from 2011-present. I am living on a fixed income and I am still broke financially. I have no social life right now. I have an interest in working in a library again. Please Lord Jesus, hear my prayer. I really need you in my life right now. I have been clean and sober for 33 years now. My clean date is Wednesday May 2, 1990. History consists of the things that I do for Jesus Christ. If I am able to help others and communicate with Jesus Christ on a daily basis. I need to read His Word and demonstrate His deeds to mankind. Thank you for reading my story. God Bless You All.
