Chance

Chance Bradley Leister was the kind of person every single member in our family wanted to be. He was every one of my cousins idol as children and even to this day.

He was just an uplifting person that could make your whole day in a heartbeat. He has memories with so many people it’s unbelievable. Chance and I would stay up night after night just playing with legos…

Do people really deserve a second chance? It really depends on the situation, personally I think if someone, is mean and grumpy all the time, sure, they deserve a second chance, because they can change, like Scrooge from A Christmas Carol, he is always mean and grumpy at the beginning, and at the end, he's so nice and happy.

Although many factors may affect life chances such as wealth, education, or occupation, the most influential factor for me would be wealth. According to Dennis Gilbert, by life chances, he (Max Weber) meant that the fundamental aspects of an individual’s future possibilities that are shaped by class membership, from the infant’s chances for descent nutrition to the adult’s opportunities for worldly access (Gilbert, 2015:7-8). Although education and occupations can give an individual a degree of…

Forty Chances by Howard G. Buffett gave me an interesting insight into the problems of the world. People in other countries, especially the countries in Africa have such different lives. These people have grown up and live in such a different way than we have, and do in the United States. In South Africa, people have a different view of life, in the sense that we are always rushing through life where they seem to be calmly enjoying the ride. While we are enjoying almost every convenience, the…

One might also assume that this character flaw can never be changed or adapted. From this perspective, the belief holds that once a violent person, always a violent person. One might then begin to assume that violence is an incurable disease.…
