If you could be a character from a book or film, who would you be? Why?
I really would be myself because I have had a very interesting life. I am saying this because I am an Author of 3 books that I have written during a 23 year period. I am a Graduate from my Alma Mater: The University of Toledo in Toledo, Ohio. My graduating class of 1993 and 1995 respectively. I majored in Social Services Technology and Interdisciplinary Studies. My minor was in American Sign Language. On the other hand, I was the oldest student in my graduation class at Paul Laurence Dunbar High School in Dayton, Ohio; Class of 1986. I used to work at the University of Toledo William Carlson Library from 1992 through 1996. I also worked as a Library Clerk at the University of North Carolina at Charlotte for 8 years. I used to work at The J Murray Atkins Library on the UNCC CAMPUS. I have written my own autobiography regarding my own life and experiences in using drugs and alcohol for 18 years. My family members and I love each other very much. I know that I had to modify my overall behavior during a 24 year period. My mother and grandparents raised me to be a person who has common sense. My neighborhood where I grew up was rough in the Dayton, Ohio Area. Frankly, it is still rough in Daytons Northwest Side of town. I want to thank everyone in my extended family members who are responsible for helping me to cope with my mental illness. I love being around my family members 🙏. I thank God for allowing me to grow and mature as a man. Lord Jesus, I Love You very much. I Thank You for being My Personal Savior and accepting me for the person that I am today. I lived in Toledo, Ohio from 1990-1996 & Charlotte, North Carolina from June 15, 1997 – January 5, 2010. I moved back to the Dayton, Ohio Area for 14 years now. I have been writing since June 30, 1997. The Life that I used to live was destined for failure for 15 years now. Lord Jesus, please teach me how to be a Child of the Living God 🙏. Life itself is what you really make of it 🙏. I have spent a lot of money on women only. I have spent a lot of time at the Library and in the streets inside of the Cities where I used to live in the past and present. My name is Anthony Joseph Hopkins and I am a 58-year-old man who Fears God. I am very grateful for being clean and sober for years now. I Love All of God’s Creation Forever ❤️.
