Title: The Life


1
The Life Times of Nicholas Sparks
  • By Hannah Hobbs
  • PCHS

2
My Learning Styles
  • My top 3 learning styles are
  • Aural
  • Social
  • Visual

3
Aural Learning Style
  • The aural learning style means the same as
    auditory, which means to listen. If you pay
    attention to sounds and have a good sense of
    rhythm, this learning style is right for you.

4
Visual Learning Style
  • The visual learning style refers to seeing visual
    examples. You function well by seeing and by
    watching demonstrations, often have a vivid
    imagination, need something to watch, and like
    visual stimuli such as pictures, slides and
    graphs.

5
Social Learning Style
  • The social learning style basically means that
    you like to work more in a group of people rather
    than alone.

My Presentation Topic
  • My presentation is about Nicholas Sparks. This
    presentation includes his childhood, education,
    family, fascinating facts, and the beginning of a
    fulfilling career.

    1965 in Omaha, Nebraska to Patrick and Jill

    Danielle. Nicholas moved to and from places very
    often due to his father trying to receive several
    graduate degrees. He has lived in Nebraska,
    Minnesota, and California. He and his siblings
    were raised Roman Catholics.

    valedictorian. After high school, sparks received
    a full track scholarship to the university of
    Notre dame. As a freshman, sparks broke a UND
    school record as a part of a relay team in 1985.
    Shortly after, he was injured and spent most of
    the track season recovering. Later, he graduated
    in 1988 from Notre Dame with a degree in Business
    Finance.

Current Family
  • In 1988, he met Catherine . Catherine was from
    New Hampshire and when they laid eyes on each
    other, they knew it was love at first sight. The
    next day, he said, One day, we will be married.
    Then, in July of 1989, they got married. Today,
    they reside in New Bern, North Carolina. They now
    have five children. There names are Miles, Ryan,
    Landon, Lexie, and Savannah.
