Growing up with foreign parents Irving Berlin once said, “Life is 10 percent of what you make it, and 90 percent how you take it.” I believe many people help others in hopes they take that experience and use it to become greater. If you’re ever at a disadvantage in school, work, or at home don’t be afraid to ask for help because the worst they can say is, no.

As each year progressed, i found myself writing papers easier and easier. Through the four years of high school, teachers would often compliment my work. Some even sometimes used them as an example to show the class, that honestly made me feel amazing! When i would tell my story to teachers about how i became such a good writer, i would often tear up because how much my previous teachers helped me get to where i was that day. I wouldn’t be here in this college discourse class if it wasn 't for all them. All the extra time they put in for me, to get better at my literacy. Teachers can change lives too.
In conclusion, i believe i am where i am today because of the help i got from Ms. Macintosh. Danny Thomas once said, “Success has nothing to do with what you gain in life or accomplish for yourself. It’s what you do for others.” In my head Ms. Macintosh is a huge success. I am so thankful for all the help and time she has put into me, in hopes for me to become advanced at everything i do. She wants me to succeed and that’s what i’m gonna do for
