I was texting my friends as usual but then they stopped texting back. I felt like I did something wrong. Maybe it was something that I said or did. The problem was, I do not remember doing anything bad but, they must have had some reason to cut off contact with me. I was always afraid in the past that they would forget about me if I went away. Now that I did my worst fears came true. I feel hurt and betrayed by them. The worst part is that I cannot comprehend why they would do such a thing. They were nice people. They were always smiling and cheerful. I would be lying if I said I was not jealous of them. We were friends for three years, yet it only took them a day to cut out all contact with …show more content…
Being in my house all the time is depressing and I need a change of scenery to make the most of life. When I get out I could go on walks for exercise. I have neglected treating my body so I have less confidence in myself so I will make sure I go outdoors and walk for at least an hour a day. I could learn more about the world by just walking around. When I went on walks before I learned about new places I can go to in the neighborhood and maybe even find a place where I can lounge. I can also meet new people when I go out for walks. That build my skill to socialize and small talk so I can use them to make new

    After reading “The Other Wes Moore” by Wes Moore I can understand what he means when he says “The chilling truth is that his story could have been mine, the tragedy is that my story could have been his”. This is about two men who each had their own struggle growing up but one was able to succeed in life while the other is facing a life sentence behind bars. Wes Moore could have had a similar life as the other Wes Moore if his mother would have just given up on him. Credit should not be given just to his mother and family but also to Wes himself. Even after a rough start at his new life in military school, he was able to stick to it and give it a chance.…

    People are born blank slates and are formed gradually into the person they become through personal experiences. A modern day philosopher named John Locke, states that a child’s life “is formed only through experience”. He believes that no matter how children are raised, it is the life experiences that actually influence their life more. This notion that people are not born to do terrible things, but maybe led down that dark path by things they live through. The website Live Science conducted a study that seems to support this thought.…
