People are always told to do their best. What does that lead to though? It could be a personal feeling of accomplishment, or a strong desire to not give up. People are always working as hard as they can to improve what needs improvement. Without others, they wouldn’t be able to do it though, friends are a vital element to achievement and progression. These two things put together can describe success. Success, the power to the future, is not being the best at what anyone does, but rather doing…

Living In a dorm has been a big transition from living at my parent 's house. There are some things that I like and things I don 't like at both places. From the people I live with, to the rules, I have to follow. Both my dorm and my house have their pros and cons. If there is one thing I hate the most, it 's being in dirty places. Well in the dorm, it 's very dirty. It 's not just the messes every once and a while in the hallway, but the dirt no one sees. Like how dirty the bathrooms are.…

Why Does He Not Listen? I’ve been knowing him my whole life and you would still think that he would at least try to understand me by just listening. A person with a fixed mindset is always trying to see things their own way. They are set up a certain way that when you try to communicate with them and explain your point of view, they become very biased in terms of understanding your point of view as opposed to theirs. This is a great definition of my dad. When I try talking to him I feel…

We started as friends and we didn’t expect that we were going to be special to one another. It wasn’t planned at all, but when I got to know you I opened my life to you and that’s when I fell for you until it became okay and then it didn’t become okay because of situations. You are one of the people who make me the happiest and I say this without the slightest bit of exaggeration. Your jokes were so ridiculous that they always catch me off guard and have me laughing like crazy. In those rare…

"When I first went to college, some upperclassmen took me aside and asked me if I wanted to graduate. I said, 'Well, yes, of course, I do! ' Then they asked me what kind of grades I wanted to get. I said that I wanted to do very well. 'Then, you will have to learn to love studying, ' they said." "College is full of distractions, worries and problems. There 's always trouble but if you love studying then you will find a way to do what you need to do anyway, no matter what happens. If you don…

Many people value different things in life. I have things I value, which have a special meaning to me. Not everyone understands what it is like to truly value something, because what one value another individual may have a different view of the value. In this world it is good to value something much more than money, cars, and clothes. Indeed, the things I value are what I live by on a daily basis, accepting life how it is, and growing to become a better me. The things I value are myself, family…

Darkness befell upon the sky as I was getting closer to my destination. I was meeting up with my girlfriend for a date, our first since we became a couple. When I arrived, there she was standing so elegantly as the gust of night gently blew her hair in way so mystically. If I didn’t know who she was, I might have mistaken her for an angel. However, I knew all too well that she could not possibly be an angel. Much rather, she was a fallen angel. One born of a disturbed heart in which god would…

Christianity What’s the meaning and the purpose of life, the Christian life. According to the bible it is to glorify God and the enjoyment of him forever. It’s our belief in Jesus based on the life and teaching of Jesus, relating to the qualities and spirit of Jesus especially in showing concerns of others. In the ideal world Christianity is taught as children, through songs and stories of the bible. The very first song I learned as a child was “Jesus loves”. Growing up all I ever heard from my…

My hypocrisy is saying one thing and then doing another thing. Know I try and not going as much as I probably unknowingly sis it when I was younger. Some of the reason that this may be is because I did not grow up in a Christian home, but my parents did go to church and my sister and I went to Sunday school. We also did go to a catholic school. There are going to be times when this is going to still happen because we are not perfect people. So why should it matter what we say and do? Yes, this…

Learned Trust “Trust is something developed in the first few years of your life. Usually infants have one “face” they can depend on and trust.” A little while back my psychologist Dr. Henry told me that. I realized that I have a problem trusting people and don 't like having to depend on someone. I am a very self-dependent person. I push myself to work hard, get good grades and do things I enjoy. I do not like having somebody constantly telling me to do my homework, or don’t forget to go to work…
