Growing Up People Use To Always Tell Me Analysis

Improved Essays
Growing up people use to always tell me, "be careful of the company you keep." Being that I was so young at the time, I didn 't quite understand what that meant. As time passed and I got a little older, I began to understand a little more and became aware of who I hung around. I was nice to everyone, including people I didn 't know but sometimes that 's not a good thing. I 've learned that you can 't allow everybody to come into your home, even if you’re related. It all started when I decided to move to mobile back in September to go to school. My cousin Jada and I found a nice apartment that wasn 't too far from the school. At first it was just us staying there because we didn 't know anybody in mobile and all our friends were back at home. One day we found out that our cousin and one of …show more content…
I was so excited to be turning nineteen and I made sure everyone knew it. Later that night around nine o 'clock, I went out on a double date with a good friend of mines, my cousin and her boyfriend. We were at Buffalo Wild Wings having the time of our lives. While we were there, my cousin Avery texted me asking could he spend the night at the house and me being the good person that I am, I told him yeah. We waited for him to show up then we all got in the car and left around eleven. Once we got back to the house we just chilled for an hour or so then my date left to go home for work. I decided to go to bed after that but my cousin stopped me because he wanted to borrow my car to go see his girlfriend, and of course I let …show more content…
If you do it once then more than likely you will continue to do it. My cousin wasn’t a bad person, it was just the choices he made. Ever since then, the quote, “be careful of the company you keep,” has stuck with me. Sometimes your own family are the ones that can mess things up for you in the long

    What I Lived For Analysis

    Dante Alighieri once said, “There is no greater sorrow than to recall a happy time when miserable.” Though not directly mentioned, the idea of the quote seems to be explored thoroughly in both “Where I Lived, and What I Lived For,” by Henry David Thoreau, and “Once More to the Lake,” by E.B. White. While both of these authors float around several thoughts including reality, advancements, and living in general, they take very different approaches to do so. In “Once More to the Lake,” White reminisces on his journey back to a place he spent many summers as a child. His essay takes the form of a narrative, with him explaining in great detail the beauty and isolation of the lake.…

    Straight Laced Analysis

    Starting off with the movie that we watched in class “Straight Laced” I thought that was a very interesting movie and something that gave me personally a lot of perspective and sort of opened my eyes a little bit. Because I am from a big city (washington Dc), I am used to being around people who are openly gay or openly transgender. But it really made me think about my high school. My high school was in the city and prided itself on diversity when in reality it was not that diverse. I think that my high school was similar to the movie.…

As uncomfortable and as hard as these moments were to go through, they were the moments that showed me what I valued in my friends. It also showed me that they weren’t the people I was supposed to be friends with. As time goes on I become more and more confident and comfortable with the decisions that I have made that have made in choosing the friends that I have today. We were bound to stop being friends due to the amount of change they undertook in their morals and attitudes and how much I had not.…
