His father, Patrick Michael (Mike), was a graduate student for much of Nicholas’ early life, so the family lived in a num- ber of college towns before settling in Fair Oaks, California, when Nicholas was eight. Nicholas’ mother, Jill EmmaMarie (Jill), worked as both a homemaker and optometrist’s assistant. All three Sparks chil- dren, including Nicholas’ older brother, Micah, and younger sister, Danielle, were born within a three-year period, and the closeness in age created a strong bond between them. Education and Work Experience Nicholas excelled in high school, graduating valedictorian of his class and earning notice as a middle-distance runner. He accepted a full ath- letic scholarship to the University of Notre Dame and set a school record as part of a relay team, but he found himself hampered by an Achilles tendon injury the summer after his freshman year.

    THE NOTEBOOK Nicholas Sparks CHAPTER ONE - MIRACLES WHO AM I? And how, I wonder, will this story end? The sun has come up and I am sitting by a window that is foggy with the breath of a life gone by. I’m a sight this morning: two shirts, heavy pants, a scarf wrapped twice around my neck and tucked into a thick sweater knitted by my daughter thirty birthdays ago. The thermostat in my room is set as high as it will go, and a smaller space heater sits directly behind me. II clicks and groans and spews hot air like a fairy-tale dragon, and still my body shivers with a cold that will never go away, a cold that has been eighty years in the making. Eighty years. I wonder if this is how it is for everyone my age. My life? It isn’t easy to explain. It has not been the rip-roaring spectacular I fancied it would be, but neither have I burrowed around with the gophers. I suppose it has most resembled a blue-chip stock: fairly stable, more ups than downs, and gradually trending upwards over time. I’ve learned that not everyone can say this about his life. But do not be misled. I am nothing special, of this I am sure. I am a common man with common thoughts, and I’ve led a common life. There are no monuments dedicated to me and my name will soon be forgotten, but I’ve loved another with all my heart and soul, and to me this has always been enough.

  • CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION A. Background of the Study Love Is a Valuable Thing in Human Life. No One Does Not Need Love. Every Perso
    CHAPTER I INTRODUCTION A. Background of the Study Love is a valuable thing in human life. No one does not need love. Every person has their own interpretation about what love is. They have their own description about love. Every person has different understanding about love. Even so they will agree that they need to be loved or love. “Every human being wants to be loved. This is not a wholly incomprehensible statement. With the exception of some people with personality disorders, everyone wants to be loved. The feeling that one experiences, especially when they know that they are loved, is indescribable” (Chapman, 2011: 18). According to Maslow’s hierarchy in Chapman (2011:18). “People have a need for intimate relationships, love, affection, and belonging and will seek to overcome feelings of aloneness and alienation.” Love according to Elkrief, love is complete acceptance, when we let someone to be exactly as they are, without any believe that they aren’t good enough, without any belief that they would be “better” if they were different, this is love. Love is completely unconditional, love has no conditions. Love is a feeling that can be unconditional, no matter what a partner does, feelings toward them do not change (Nicholson, 2011). When we truly love someone, we can’t stop loving them, no matter of what they do or say. If our love is depending on how the other person act, then this love is completely conditional. We often confuse this to be love, but this is just positive thoughts about someone. This is just you like what a person says or does, not loving them.

  • A Personal Conversation with Bestselling Author Nicholas Sparks
    LivingA personal conversation withthe bestselling Dream author Nicholas Sparks With 17 novels, 6 movie deals and counting, CliffsNotes and teacher guides, it’s clear Nicholas Sparks’ realistic love stories travel way beyond the bookshelf and into theatres and classrooms. It takes a certain gift to be a writer whose stories truly appeal to all ages. Nicholas has that gift. At the height of his career, fans are anxiously awaiting his next novel, perfectly happy knowing they’ll probably need to stock up on tissues. How Nicholas can so beautifully write unforgettable stories that touch readers’ hearts and make them re-evaluate their own lives is due in part to the hardships he’s had in his life, including the tragic death of his parents and sister, and realizing his dream of running in the Olympics was never going to happen. Here Mackin’s Lori Tracy talks with Nicholas about his journey, one that was influenced, amazingly enough, by horror novelist Stephen King. FROM HORROR TO say all you want about environment and [See “Finally Meeting Stephen King” on HEARTSTRINGS leading by example, but in the end, I’ve page 6]. My dad loved horror movies.
