Life Lessons From Listen To Parents

Decent Essays
Introduction: In this five paragraph essay I will be explaining what life lessons I have learned from this story and why I think they are useful in everyday life. The life lessons I will be covering are listening to your parents, don’t trust everything you hear, and always trying to understand others. Life Lesson #1 Listen to Parents: In the book/movie Bruno did a horrible job with this, and because of it found himself in trouble. He should have listened to his mother when she told him not to go into the back, because if he did then he wouldn’t have met Shmuel. If he didn’t meet Shmuel then he wouldn’t have died, because he would have never have thought of the idea to go under the fence. I'm not saying this is Shmuel’s fault by any means,

When I delegate tasks, it's hard for me to not step in when they are going in a completely different direction.…

    The last lesson I learned is not to take what you have for granted. This is pretty obvious throughout the book. You see the terrible conditions of how the Frank family, Van Daan Family, and Mr. Dussel have to go through. It teaches you that you should be appreciative of what you have because not everybody has that. You see they have to eat beans and can’t eat much else.…

    There are approximately 397,000 children in foster care in the United States of America currently and I used to be one of them. However, foster had not even been near the forefront of my mind that summer. The summer before I started my first year of high school, I had plenty of anxiety about the tall tale I invented in my own mind that stood before me. Stories about how hard high school were numerous and often regaled on the crowded bus ride home by high schoolers who seemed to have the knowledge of every wise teacher in history combined. which that scared me to death; I had always held my position as a good student who followed the rules of my middle school.…

    After arriving to Wood Middle School as I would on any other day, I walked into the bustling commons area and noticed a herd of students scattered into their separate cliques. However, what immediately caught my eye was the number of teachers and administrators who clearly looked flustered and distressed. I soon left the commons area and headed towards the library to figure what exactly was going on. Sure enough, there was a cluster of teachers gazing at the library’s television in utter disbelief over what would soon become known as “The Stock Market Crash of 2008”. Even though I was only in the 6th grade, I still had enough competence to realize that this was not an ordinary day in the stock market.…

    At the rightful age of thirteen and three days, I learned of the fine line between what was and was not important in life. My home was a wind gust and a dirt road away from being burned down all while the next three years of my life were waiting two miles away. While juggling the events of the county fair on Saturday, August 17, 2013, I looked over my shoulder to see a sight I never wished to see, black smoke. A view seldom seen until then but everyone knew exactly what it was from and where it originated.…

    Imagine living in a fantasy world where everything is pitch perfect the way you wanted to be, but then, you wake up to the harsh reality to feel trapped and animated on the inside. This is how I first view my life story for the last three years. At first, I never thought this class would help me realize who I am nor what I have to value until eight weeks ago. To start off, I have looked at my life in a new light and sees how I should understand others before I judge them, as well as, to understand the importance of morals and values. Everyone has their own values and morals that they believe in to determine what is right and wrong in life, so have I. Not everyone can agree to the same stuff about how one’s should live our life, but instead learn from our value and believe to make our own story in our life.…
