My Obituary

Courtney Esperon, a former physical therapist, died of natural causes on August 8, 2097 at her penthouse apartment in Manhattan, New York. She was a loving mother of two wonderful children, great wife, and successful physical therapist. During her childhood she lived in Fords, a small town in central jersey. This is where she resided for her entire life. She attended St. John Vianney from kindergarten to eighth grade, and Union catholic regional high school from 9th- 12th grade. This is where she began her volleyball career. In November 2005 Harris led the UC girls volleyball team to their first state championship. Her athleticism, team work, and all around attitude towards others was something she was looked upon for greatly by her peers. After a great high school experience Harris set of to Clemson University in South Carolina. This is where she spent the next four years of her life. She began college as a Pre-pharmacy major, and then realized her true calling sophomore year and switched to physical therapy. According to her, college was the best four years of her life, and she would have given anything to live those days over again.
Shortly after college Harris went to professional school for physical therapy and received her degree from Northeastern University. No less then two years later she had specialized in child physical therapy, and started her own practice with a close friend from high school. She then became reunited with her old best friend Christopher Esperon, and they fell in love. They were married in 2020 and went strong until the day of her death. I have never seen two people more happy together, said her best friend Joanne Schurtz. They had their first baby in 2023, a beautiful baby girl named Carly, and shortly after in 2025 a boy named Joshua. They all seemed to have a fairytale life together. Up until the day of her death Courtney was smiling, she truly lived everyday like it was her last, and helped many people on her way.

I really enjoyed reading this story. I like how you encorporated some of your own life stories into it. Being that I am a huge volleyball fan, I was pleased to read that your character played volleyball and was very successful at it as well. There were a few errors in grammar and capitalization. and the name of the character changed during the story. But other than that it was a really interesting obituary.
