Walking With Pride by Darren Fitch December 11, 2006

Filed under: Student Spotlights — chrisprice1955 @ 8:23 am

The first question that comes to mind with the name of this talented youngster is merely, “Man or Myth”? The talented and extravagant young adult, James Welsh, has his priorities in line as he glides his way through life on the path to success. The five’ nine, blonde hair, and misty sky blue-eyed man sets the bar at a level that is unreachable for a lesser man. James is best categorized as the intellectual, superhero genius.
As the grades roll in, James Welsh gets to reap what he sows. With a high percent test grade in his hand, he nonchalantly points, “I am most happy when I get my test back and I see my prize in its usual right hand corner, marked with the red letter, ‘A’. Dedication, determination, and a focused mind are the key ingredients to success”, reveals James. Not only being book smart, Mr. Welsh has the knowledge you do not learn in a class room; street smarts help guide James in his day to day routine. With a winning spirit and lifestyle that is larger then life, James hopes to be the head football coach for the Detroit Lions someday. He says his best attributes for his desired career are, “Good looks, and the ability to do what is necessary, to get the job done.”
However, James reveals that he would not be able to come this far if it was not for his loving family, supportive friends, and girlfriend. With the protection and driving motivation from his mother, in addition to the ability of having a little brother to beat up on everyday to release stress, James thanks God for the two. Furthermore, he likes to kick back on the weekend with friends and rejuvenate his mind for the coming school days. He exclaims, “My family and friends are the best in the world”.
So how do you describe such a rich attitude towards life itself? Well let us just say he is no man, but rather he is the man with the plan to succeed. After making the grades in school and having the celebrities chase him down like a mad man as he surpasses accomplishments after accomplishments, many walk away in a sense of awe saying, “James Welsh is too good to be true”.

    James Welsh works hard, has fun, and has made some accomplishments. However, i write to the editor asking about some of the truth about this article. Does Mr. Welsh have an actual girlfriend, or is this just for entertainment sake?

  21. Darren, this is a superb article. However, you have forgotten to mention how i have helped mold Jimbo into the thriving young man he is today. Great description..and tj, his girlfriend happens to be a blonde bombshell from Huntington Beach.

  22. TJ Reed Says:

    Oh,my deepest apologies greg. I knew he was a pimp but I had no idea he was hitting it up with a woman from Huntington.
