Tuesdays with Morrie is about the last lessons between a college
professor and his long lost student Mitch, who he was a “coach” to. After
graduation Mitch promises to stay in touch and gives him a briefcase to
remember him by. He then moves to New York to chase his dreams of
being a musician and gets lost in life. When his favorite uncle passes away
from cancer,Mitch is determined not to end up like him, who worked for a
corporation doing the same thing everyday. So he leaves his dreams of
becoming a musician behind and gets a job as a sportswriter. While flipping
through the channels one night Mitch sees his old professor doing an
interview on his approaching death. Morrie spoke about how he’s going to
stay alive despite …show more content…
Despite the fact he was in
a gang, he had a heart of gold, he had so much love to give, all he
wanted was to belong. He used to walk me home from the bus stop and
when boys would pick on me, he had my back. I will hold dear to my heart
the memories of my friend Arturo no matter how many years pass. One thing he taught me
that stayed with me through out the years is it doesn’t matter what people
think about you and to always go out of your was to help someone. I never
rode the bus again after God took him away. It was just to much to bear
knowing that my friend would never get off the bus again. Although it has
gotten easier and time heals all wounds, apart of me went with him when
he went away. There are some things in life we just cant choose like death
or an accidental pregnancy. Yet we can still choose how we deal with it.
Many people told me I was to young to be a mom and that my life ended
the day I got pregnant, but for me , life just began. Elana didn’t away from
my future, she gave me a new one. I believe God gave me her to save me,
because he knew that I would straighten up for my little angel and that’s
exactly what I did. In the story Morrie states “The most important thing in life is to learn how to …show more content…
Instead of running away from him when I get scared
now I run to him. Just knowing Im loved and have someone to love is
the best feeling in the world, somehow it gives me the strength to take on everything else in the world. It even talks about love in the bible,
“And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest
of these is love,” 1 Corinthians 13:13. In Morrie’s words “I don’t allow myself anymore self
pity than that. A little each morning, a few tears, and thats all,” (p. 57.)
It’s amazing how Morrie was slowly dying, knowing he could possibly
suffocate to death from the ALS, yet he didn’t feel sorry for himself.
I stopped feeling sorry for myself when I started taking full responsibility
for my actions. I had to learn to be grateful for the good things in my life
and accept the bad things because someone always has it worse. When
I reminisce of my past I focus on how I can better my future and look at the
unfortunate things as lessons learned. Everyday when I wake up and
before I go to bed I think of all the things Im grateful for. Having my little
brother reminds me it’s the little things in life that matter most, he keeps
me in the moment and gives me hope for a better tomorrow. I’ve
