Personal life

I sat on the cliff and looked at the hills in front of me. I wondered how my life had changed so drastically in the past six years. Did I have any regrets? Maybe a few, sitting there and thinking all about it all over again I only wanted a breeze of happiness to blow through my life. Few words left unsaid and a friendship left in shambles. I wondered if I could have done anything differently which would have led me to be in a different situation, these thoughts took me back in time where it all…

I personally, am not scared of my own death. I can die today and I would be okay with how I lived my life so far. It has not been the most exciting life so far, but I have a family who I love and friends that I care for with all my heart. So thinking about my own death is not something that keeps me up at night. Honestly, like what Stuart talked about in class I too have had moments in my life where I have thought of my own death. I have never had suicide ideations, but I do think about how…

In life there’s always that one moment which changes your perspective on everything. Some may not notice at first, however, in my case it was handed to me on a silver platter. It all started when I was in the sixth grade. I must admit it was not a big surprise, but being told that because of something I could not control I would still have to change my life kind of scared me. After many tests and several doctors visits, I soon discovered the weakness in my lungs every time I ran and the reason I…

A death of someone is never easy to handle, especially when it’s someone you truly care about. Growing up, the subject of death was never really concealed from me. My parents were very upfront about it and taught me that it is part of life. I have experienced multiple deaths throughout my years, both of family and nonfamily members, but only 4 of them really impacted me and taught me lessons. I wouldn’t say that these experiences of death has made me numb to it, but has shaped the way that I…

I credit much of this independence to my English teachers, but I was also significantly impacted by material I picked for myself. Describing a sheltered child with very little control over his own life, Ender’s Game had an enormous impact on me. I related to Ender’s struggle to be an individual in the midst of people telling him what to believe and how to think. After reading this novel, I realized that I had been desperately wanting to be my own…

I am a mixed female, which means I am both African American and caucasian. I have three siblings on my adoptive side that are significantly older than me and three siblings on my birth family side. I have gone to the same school my whole life and have been amongst the same people, which helped me grow comfortably and be more engaged in school activities. Since being in FFA, I have done many activities and things I consider major achievements. My junior year, I was accepted to be in the…

the last few days made me realize a lot. I saw the ghost of a person. Someone who could no longer walk, or talk. The outline of what once had been, now crippled, small, and dying. All of this had happened in the blink of an eye. It made me appreciate life so much more. You never know when something can be taken from you. You never know when it’s too late. I am not the same person I once was, that person is dead. Gone. I have learned to cherish my family and never take anything for granted. My…

but the life lessons that he teaches us. For example tell his players when he is going to make the cut so they only have to be by the phones for an hour and not the whole weekend. That can help me in the future because if I can grow up and become a CFO, as my job I should tell my boss when I am going to be done with taxes. I shouldn't just be like, um yea be around your phone in the next week or so. That will get me fired real quick. To pass on things that you have learned throughout life. I…

In paper 1, I mentioned that achieving personal life goals is the highest good and morality is determined by the number of people considering an action good. Happiness is not the highest good because there exists people who make decisions like suicide that do not aim at happiness. If happiness is the highest good then no one would make any decisions that do not bring him happiness. In addition, life goal is a goal that one believes it is worth to spend his life to achieve. For example, in…

Life is a roller coaster no one lined up to get on. It’s something you never chose, and it’s something you only have two options in: get off, or stay on. There are people who would rather jump off the roller coaster while it’s going full speed than sit the entire ride, and you have to understand that. Some people aren’t built for roller coasters; they’re built for the small kids rides. That’s okay, we all have different options and choices. But one thing we all share is that we have something to…
