History 1995-2005
Throught the years James Shelton(formaly known as Jaret Raynes on the web) has adventured to higher and higher heights
in popularity that his friends Jeremy Keene and Mason Fincham haven't reached nor has anybody else at his school
has.Along with the popularity of his sites,songs and poems,friendliness,coolness and influence in school.He has gained the
school in popularness more than anybody else and has surpassed Jeremy Keene at winning awards with
over 21 awards won.He has out beat him at awards won and plans to go up higher in wins with Perfect Attendance,Mr.
Christian Character and Penmanship.It all started in mid August of 1995 when he came on the scene at HAE without knowing
anybody.He soon got a friend named Mason who would soon have a major effect on him in school,out of school,and in his
faith.James said"Mason made me realize kindness is the best way to get friends and friends are nice to have and
without friends you are hopeless,"and soon that helped him to gained tons and tons of friends as time went on.As
1995 soon came to a close James came to a conclsuion he needed to give his life to Jesus Christ and follow where He leads
him to go and he did.He soon showed that his faith in God was powerful and soon he was praying for people like nobody had
ever seen before and more to come.Plus started his first club that soon lead to more clubs his faith-based club which ended
in early 1996 because of controversy and problems.In 1996 he earned "Honor Roll and 31/2 Quarters" and "No PACE Failures."He
soon gained most of the school and by 1998 he became a well--known name at the school and practically everybody at the school
knew him and the masses soon followed.By 1998 He gained 7 awards for responsibility and more,but he soon felt dragged down
and as soon 1999 approched he had more friends than he knew what to do with.He just kept on following his dreams until
he gained his 11th award in 1999 and by 2000 he out beat every one at awards winning every type of award there was to win and
more to come and soon he realized it was all worth it.Many people started copying him by wearing the same type of clothes
he wore,started wearing hats like he did and more.It was crazy.At the end of that year he soon got more friends until there
were people following his influence at school and doing stuff like he did leading people to the Lord.By 2001 he became
a legend in popularness and soon overflowed with friends until he was the most popular guy in the school, and then everybody
realized he was the King of Popularity there.By 2003 he returned back to his faith and started the Faithman club which had
gained alot of people's attention and soon he got over 500 and some visits online and counting on his website.In 2003
he won his first award in over 4 years Penmanship.He started writing songs in 2000 and by 2004 he had written
over 118 songs that's more than anybody he has known in his school has ever written as a teen and nobody else has as an teenage
artist in the world.Many will say wow that's alot.He even got emailed by a famous record label to join,but soon decided not
to because his hectic schedule,and plans someday to start his own music company,studio,become a record producer and songwriter
full-time.He's also wrote 5
poems and 2 of them became the center of attention at Youth.He's been going to Youth for 4 years.His new club The Peace
Prayer club was made as continuation for the poem "The Peace Prayer" which was re-written this year.With failing almost for
times on getting the new club out into the world.He just decided that he needed to change his club from The Faithman club
to The Peace Prayer club which is about peace and prayer.This time it's not about faith.
