December option B: The truth of society

Why is it we all treat others so harsh? Look at the past, how the treatment of African American was so unjust or the mistreatment of individuals such as Elie from the novel Night. If deep down everyone is truly kind and merciful how did such events occur? I write this persuasive piece to show the true heart of the world and how individuals only really care about themselves and have discontent towards certain individuals. Just take a look outside and you’ll still see the unfair treatment of certain religions,races, and cultures. I ask all these questions knowing there will never be a correct answer or that there will even be answered.

 

There is no individual one may put forth that will be willing to give up their own fortune for the sake of someone they do not even know. We can put a facade up showing a false image of ourselves but no matter how good our false identity is when put to the test no one will pass. I don’t say this with passion and joy of demining everyone but with sorrow for how weak man truly is. This can be proven with such a vast amount of examples, the first example that is most recent is the Uyghur Muslims in China who are being placed in internment camps. How is it possible in this day and age after watching the mass murder of millions of Jews and the regret and sorrow that comes with the Holocaust we still cant recognize the present day Holocaust? Why is it no one has taken action or done something, how is it world leaders watch this injustice continue with a blind eye. If we were really good people wouldn’t we have done something now other than just posting something on our Instagram and forget it. Mankind has evolved from the dawn of time from the en-slavery of non-whites to the multiple genocides. This can also be proven with the huge gap between the rich and poor, how is it with all the wealth billionaires and millionaires have we still end up with poor people can’t they just give some of their money for the poor. There’s one simple answer greed, everyone is full of greed and doesn’t really care about anyone but themselves.

Road to Quirkiness

Life Philosophy #1 – Do the things that you enjoy doing while staying on the positive side of the spectrum of life.

Everyone has something that they love doing, it can be their hobby or interest, they just have fun doing it. People play sports, listen and create music, draw, read and write stories, and etc. However, there are things that cause them to feel unmotivated, like stress from work and family issues. When others feel jealous or unsafe towards you, they are more likely to make you sad or feel threatened.

Life Philosophy #2 – Work through things that keep you down.

As we grow up, we encounter many obstacles in our path that we must be able to work through in order to achieve our dreams. Many people are going to come into our lives, and they are going to try to bring you down because they might follow similar beliefs. They might not want you succeed because of your past actions in which you have to work to fix those actions by working on the present and not the past. If others are very persistent in bringing you down then its better to ignore those other people and find people who are willing to support you for your beliefs.

Life Philosophy #3 – Always be respectful towards others with more life achievements than you.

Learning from the people who have been through the same experiences as you, will help you grow. No one is perfect, and everyone is effected from helping one another to become better. It is not shameful to learn from the people younger than you if they can help you to grow as a person. Older people have been through many things that you might be going through yourself, they have seen and adapted to the world, and know how to overcome certain obstacles which is why the advice of elders should have high importance.

Life Philosophy #4 – There is a shining star inside the void of your mind.

Everyone has thoughts inside their heads. However, not everyone can find their shining star inside their minds. People think they are useless because they may not be able to provide anything and others may call out on them for that. However, that does not mean that they cannot learn from their mistakes and find their shining star. The value of other’s opinions at an early stage in life is very important because of the effect it can have on the person’s mentality, how they behave and how they will see others.

Life Philosophy #5 – Take efficient breaks.

Tunnel of Love in Ukraine

Breaks are must if you work constantly at the things that you need to do in order to achieve your success. Breaks can be long or short, from a minute to catch your breath – a hour nap.  If you want to work at your best performance, you need to learn to take EFFICIENT BREAKS. By taking efficient breaks, you are focused on the things that matter the most while considering your own health and the proper management of your time.     

Narrative: During the second semester of grade 10, I focused heavily on school and the grades I was achieving instead of my own health. Before I even realized that I was deteriorating my health, I didn’t realize that I was stressed out. Finals were a couple weeks away, we were about to present out class acts, and I wasn’t sleeping properly. And then it happened, the Sunday before my class act performance, I got hospitalized at the Peter Lougheed Hospital in the emergency center. I had to stay there for 2 days! 2!! I was practically asleep for 13 hours and when I woke up, the first thing I thought of was the performance, I asked my parents to let me contact Orchard as soon as possible. Thankfully, it got through and I was able to reschedule the performance for a later date which my group members agreed with.

Life Philosophies

Take a Break, Don’t Let Life Overwhelm You.

 

 

Every one has come to a point in their life where they have a lot of stuff going on and they want to take a break but can not because they think they can’t really miss to afford missing that class, or a day at work. The reason I chose a picture of a Kit-Kat and their slogan for their 2016 ad campaign ” Have a break, have a Kit-Kat.” I believe  that even something as small as a Kit-Kat break could really help your day out and put you in a better mindset or just give you room to breath. I even think it’s ok to go to work or class 10 minutes late to maybe eat breakfast out or grab another coffee to try your best to start the day off as good as possible.

 

 

A Million Things Affect You Everyday, Don’t let a couple bring you down.

Every single day there’s a lot of stuff going on that both indirectly and directly impacts you, some of that stuff may make you feel better but naturally we give more attention to the negative aspectsts of our life. I derive this philosophy from my dad who always says ” Always remember their are people out there that have it way worst then you.” This is so true especially right now here I am whining about school starting early when their are people picking what to take with them that will survive a hurricane that might destroy their home and most of their belongings with it. Or when I got upset the deal for my first car didn’t go right while their were  people who  had to leave everything or risk being trapped in the Fort Mcmurray Fires, the picture below is of the Fort Mcmurray Fires. I try to remember when a small part of my day brings me down that it could’ve easily been a lot worse so I shouldn’t feel down.

Everyone Gets What They Deserve In the End.

This philosophy for me is basically karma. I get angry really easily and now that I’ve been driving more I notice I roadrage quite a bit but its not bad because it doesn’t reflect in my actions and i keep it self contained but thats not good either because i’m stressing over someone who passed me on a one way road. To help with things like this I always try to remember that hey if not today one day a police officer will see them doing something like that and they will get what they deserve. However for me this philosophy helps me remember that good hard work and integrity is also always rewarded even if it may not seem like it immediately.

Dont Rush.

This is very important as for the most part people make the worst mistakes when they are rushing, and it’s understandable sometimes because of uncontrollable circumstances you may have to rush something but if you have the choice you shouldn’t. Rushing anything never goes wrong and I can relate this to an old saying “You get what you pay for.” How do you expect getting the same mark on a test by studying 10 minutes for the exam vs spending a good hour, the more time you put in the better the results. For me I rushed getting a job and next thing you know I’m working 20 hours weeks and going to school and really regretting getting a job even though now I don’t have to ask my parents for money. Below is a poem that sort of conveys my point in the aspect that if you rush life was it worth it.

Life Philosophies of Orion

My first philosophy’s message is a very common one: to persevere through hardships. Throughout my life, I never said this or thought about it. I’ve built and modified Nerf blasters to a my standards of perfection which would require hours of minute changes or drastic changes, angering me at any point with one problem after another so I’ve changed the words to fit my hobbies to: Keep tinkering.

 

Family and friends are everyone’s most important people including myself. I’ve helped to take care of my family and especially my mother, I would always do whatever she needed and always grabbed anything she asked for. This has translated to my closest friends as well, I would be open to talk to them, giving advice, as well provided support even if they called at 3 o’clock in the morning. I will always have time for my friends and family, I will always be available.

 

I have a lot of social anxiety, therefore I’ve been through situations that would have caused my to hunker down and cry. One time, my mother told me to laugh at myself with everyone else and don’t be embarrassed, obviously this has gotten me through life or I wouldn’t be here writing a blog.  Laughing at myself and making a complete fool of myself keeps my self esteem intact and it makes everyone else happy which is one my my life goals.

 

Throughout all of school, we are subjected to countless projects and forced to work with people we either don’t know or like. In order to successfully complete the project, trust is a foundation between all members that is absolutely needed but also required outside of school. On the road, you must trust other drivers to not hit you and in restaurants, you need to trust the chief to make the food edible. Trusting friends and family come without question since they are the people who can improve your life.

 

As stated before, I have social anxiety and it controls my life and how i act. For majority of my life I would never identify with a group of people at school; I would be a loner. I would constantly change my personality and the way i talked and what i would say just to fit in with anyone, any group so lunches weren’t depressing. Middle school was almost an identity crisis for me, I would have no original personality, everything i did was based on somebody else that was popular and by the end of middle school I didn’t have my own identity that i loved and embraced. The beginning of high school was the exact same situation and problem but luckily i found two amazing friends that do accept me for who I am. These opportunities gave me freedom to act however i pleased without being judged, allowing me to join other activities. Grade ten and eleven shifted my thinking and my personality positively and I stopped caring about what other people say about me and just act like a fool and do whatever dumb, silly thing I wanted to. Currently I still encourage myself to improve my confidence and keep saying to forget the judgment and just follow what my head says.

My Personal Philosophy’s

These are my personal Philosophy that i believe everyone should follow as they will help you through life’s tough challenges and risks that everyone must face in order to understand who they are as a person.

 

 

Explore every dark place until your world becomes full of light.

In life there are many things that we are able to do as human beings, when we are scared or seem to be unworthy we must find the light in our fears. soon you will be able to see through the dark knowing that we will get through what ever comes our way emotional or physical.

 

 

LIVE IT UP!

Don’t be afraid to show your true ability and skills, we often hide in our shell not wanting to explore or impress, Simply said Live it up!

 

 

Don’t hold a grudge

For every second you spend sad or disappointed you waste a second were you could have been happy. The moral of the story is not to stay sad or disappointed. Try to get over things as fast as possible you will move on from this and should continue your life living in the present not looking back at the past. life’s simple we make our choices and we don’t look back

 

 

Always have faith!

Always! Always believe in yourself. Things are gonna get better no matter how bad things are! always have faith, Having this simple belief that you can get better, do better, feel better, this will push you through life, You are most important to you so do it for you and never give up!

 

 

Keep yourself grounded.

Know your limits. We are all capable of great things but before we jump right in we must train. The ability to keep yourself grounded will help you accomplish great things well avoiding injury and frustration.

 

In my life I was not able to keep my self grounded. i was Snowboarding and may i say it i was showing off. In the end i had broke my wrist, I broke both bones clean through along with my growth plate it was not a nice sight. This injury has effected me ever since it happened I now have to limit my self to things i do. I can no longer do down hill MTB. when i snowboard now i always think about my wrist and re living the memories of the event. if i would have simply kept my self grounded i would have been able to ride away with out the year of rehab.

What I Choose To Be

Slide1

This is my presentation on the five most important philosophies in my life. I live by these philosophies all throughout my life and I feel that they heavily influence me as an individual and the choices I make.

Slide2

My first philosophy is “enlighten others.” For me this means not only teaching and giving knowledge to others but giving them a chance to demonstrate their understanding: because to me understanding is everything a individual needs to better themselves. One more aspect that makes the word “enlighten” so much more powerful is that it causes an individual to overcome their fears and adversaries by believing in themselves. In my opinion, when a person doesn’t need motivation anymore to perform at their best they find true success. And finally this philosophy justifies the metaphor of being the light at the end of the tunnel because the theory of enlightening others is a prime reason that certain individuals achieve amazing feats of success. Merely due to the fact that someone told them that their life was worth living for. The reason I choose Mount Rushmore as my symbolic representation for this philosophy is because all the men in the art are considered to be the greatest presidents in American history . They all enlightened the people of their nation to follow them as leaders in order to live in one of the greatest countries ever constituted.

Slide3

“Be brutally honest,” is my second philosophy and I consider it to be one that has been with me for as long as I can remember. This philosophy demonstrate’s the integrity I have towards my own actions and my responsibility of being apart of a collective where everyone can trust one another. I like to see this philosophy as a way of speaking freely among people in your environment but I always need to remind myself that the words I choose to portray my opinions should be harmless. And finally honesty leads to the healthiest relations among individuals because you are always willing to tell others everything. Even if it may be a bit harsh at first, we need to remember that it is a much better option then lying, and, lying can ultimately leads to others having distrust towards you. The wallpaper I choose for this philosophy is the anonymous mask because it truly portrays the ways in which we should treat our freedom of speech and honesty. I believe we all need to speak as if no person had the ability to break past our barrier of self-trust because there is no weak link or hidden secrets.

Slide4

This is my favorite philosophy of the five; “be able to adapt.” Why? Well because this is probably the philosophy that drives me to sustain and survive in any change within my environment. I like to be on the edge; always looking forward; never regretting over my past and never ever complaining about change that I can’t control. Now I do like to fight against some change, most likely if the change is far too chaotic but in the long run being able to adapt is what allows me to be versatile. And adaptation is the only way of continuing to grow when your living the lifestyle of a highly stressed out high school student. Just living with the anticipation of change is what keeps me on my edge and always allows me to get the results I want. In the background of this slide is what’s referred to as the ‘Tree of Life.” This diagram was developed by the pioneer of evolution-Charles Darwin- and he says that everything that is alive or dead is in the state because of it’s ability to adapt. And I believe that is true because it applies to many aspects of my life; the only way I will be successful in such a fast paced society is heavily based on my ability to adapt and correspond to the never ending changes in my life.

Slide5

They say I wise man once said to “learn to reason,” wait didn’t I say that? Well who knows, but, what’s most important about this philosophy is that reasoning is what allows you to know who you are. And once you know who you are, many decisions that seemed a challenge at first became very simple and understandable: simply because you took the time to know what your talents, skills, and, what areas in your life you put the most effort into. Once you learn to reason for yourself you begin to accumulate all the advantages and disadvantages of your current actions towards the circumstances you are in. Learning to reason is-for me-a statement that says be practical all the time. Being efficient with your time is key to your success because time is one dimension in your life that your can’t control but can only work head around; so instead be practical about it. and finally one very important but overlooked aspect in my peoples lives is emotion; and their lack of power to control it. People who can control their emotions and reduce the emotional clouds against their better judgement are the most successful in life. This also the philosophy where my life narrative comes from. Growing up from the age of only 2 months to the end of my fourteenth year I was diagnosed with nephrotic syndrome; a kidney disease. Till about the age of 12 I always lived a life of fear but I honestly decided to change my approach to my condition. I learned to reason with the truth and began to look for hope. And eventually the disease eventaullly went away. The greatest part of my life in that current state was the fact that I took in so much knowledge over what my skills are towards learning to reason.  The image I chose for this philosophy is the brain contrasting it’s two halves. The rights side of your brain controls your creativity while the left demonstrates your math and science skills; when you learn to reason you can create balance and stability between the two sides making for a more powerful thought process overall. Which then leads to great and effective decision making in your life.

Slide6

My finally philosophy is to “have ambition.” Now this is a philosophy that I have only just added to my daily lifestyle but I am already seeing many effective results from it in my life. This philosophy to me is all about continuing to progress through life even in the times of hardship; “always look forward”. I also believe that ambition is the one motive in an individuals life that allows them to achieve the goals they want in  life; the results you want can only be provided for by you. Another thing I believe in is that sleeping is good because it lets you dream, but, in order to live those dreams you have to be awake; this statement has gave me the ambition in my life to excel towards many of my goals. And finally ambition will fuel your will power, because, when all else fails, your will power is all you need in order to out do your opponents and yourself. The image used in this philosophy represents what I believe ambition to be. The stairs represent the steps in our lives we take towards progress and the light and dark areas demonstrate the different parts of our lives; good and bad; but in the end we continue to take the next step.

Slide7

 

And these are the sources I used.

And those are my five life philosophies.

Think, Believe, and Live for Yourself

Life Philosophies – Created with Haiku Deck, presentation software that inspires

Q7U2HXQKa2_1441946032265Don’t be jealous of others.

I believe one should not be jealous of others’ success but instead use that jealousy as a motivator to achieve their own goals. Being jealous of someone else is a waste of time. I believe that you need to realize that you are capable of doing anything someone else can do. For example, if a friend of yours has just gotten a job or is doing well is school, instead of being bitter about it, fuel yourself to build up the courage to get a job or push yourself to do well in school.

auGD4ufuxm_1441946235415

Never take advice.

Although this philosophy may seem confusing to some, it is one I live by every day. It is often easy to take advice and experience a situation with that preconceived advice. However, I believe it is imperative that I experience things on my own without any expectations or guide lines beforehand. This way, I am able to make my own advice for myself. I feel that taking advice may skew ones perspective of a situation and therefore may ruin the experience for them. For us teenagers, we often have advice thrown at us from all directions: parents, teachers, mentors, etc. which is able to easily confuse us because we are being told so many different things. Furthermore, I believe it is more beneficial for us to take the road as it comes and make the best of it.

ENyZ6asVBW_1441946032219

Don’t allow other to intrude your life.

Allowing negative people into one’s personal life can consequently lead one to alter their beliefs or actions due to judgement. I believe that you should surround yourself with positive people, and although that may sound cliche, it is very important. Judgmental people can be toxic to ones well being because it can ruin one’s self esteem and make them self conscious. Sometimes it is a good thing to remain reserved about yourself.

rGFgCjG2ao_1441946032242

Believe in yourself.

Believing in yourself is one of the best things you can do. Why? Believing in yourself can allow you to obtain and achieve anything you want in life. People often sell themselves short by thinking they’re incapable of doing something. This is where the problem is. If you know your worth and have faith your capabilities, you are able to maximize your potential to the fullest. The mindset of being positive and having faith is one of the greatest tools a person can have because it allows them believe in what they’re doing and strive for success. Having no faith and being negative about your capabilities will attract that kind of energy and subsequently lead yourself down a path of failure.

Do something you absolutely hate in order to find out what you love to do.

If you don’t know what you want to do in life, this is the most useful tip I can give to anyone. I discovered this philosophy over the summer while I had a job painting houses. All summer I would be surrounded by the nauseating scent of paint and have paint all over myself and in my hair, it was horrible. I hated this job. I hated this job so much that all I could think about was what I would rather be doing at that time while I was painting. And at this point, I decided that I would rather be at school. All the headaches and endless shower attempts to get paint off of me lead me to realize that although I didn’t like school that much, I would rather try to succeed in it rather than be stuck painting houses. Painting granted me so much motivation to do well in school. Now that it’s senior year for me, I’ve been channeling that motivation to do well and succeed for the betterment of my future.

Life Philosophies: How to Live Out Your Life In Success and Happiness

My Philosophies – Created with Haiku Deck, presentation software that inspires

With my five philosophies, I tried to choose things that concern my life very often and even daily. At first, I found it challenging to figure out more than two philosophies so I left aside for a while. The night before it was due, I sat down and really started to look at how I live my life. All of a sudden, it just seemed to flow from my mind to the Haiku Deck presentation. After I had finished, I looked over my philosophies and was satisfied with them since I lived with these philosophies in my life daily.

My first philosophy was “Keeping yourself from your full potential because of your challenges is a way of wasting life.” At first, I wanted to use the word disability instead of challenges since the story of Drew Lynch was about him overcoming his disability. Then I realized that I don’t have a disability and that disability is a really shitty word to use (Pardon my language). I knew that I did hold myself back from a lot of things because I was either scared or I was lazy, and this was a challenge I needed to overcome. Laziness and fear is something that I’ve dealt with my entire life, especially the last few years of my life. One thing that I tried really hard to achieve was working out on a daily basis. This is something I’ve wanted to achieve for about three years, and I never got up because of my laziness. At the beginning of summer, I decided that if I start working out now, in a year my body will feel and look better than if I were to start later in my life. So over summer, I went to the gym majority of the Mondays-Fridays in the week. After the first week, I started having thoughts of quitting because I was struggling to get to the gym to work out because I didn’t enjoy it. Through all of the pain and sweat, I decided that if I don’t stick with this, I’m going to be regretting not going in the future. Now, after being in the gym quite a bit over the last 3-4 months, I’m proud to say that I didn’t quit at the time I was feeling pain because I can feel that my body is a lot more strong and a lot more fit than it was at the beginning of the year.

My second philosophy was “There is no reason to release your anger if the thing angering you will be irrelevant in 24 hours.” This philosophy is something that should be important in everyone’s everyday lives because anger can unintentionally result in the loss of relationships with those you love. In the moment, it is quite easy to get mad and say whatever is on your mind without giving it much thought. In my life, this is something that is easily forgotten. When I get angry, I get caught up in everything that I forget to think. This is a philosophy that I’ve been trying to achieve successfully for quite a while now and over time, I have had less arguments in my life.

http://1manzstory.com/2015/06/08/anger/

My third philosophy was an emulation of Dr.Seuss’ quote “You have to be odd to be number one.” I decided that my philosophy could be written out as “The best of the best are never even.” Dr.Seuss’ original quote was something that I liked to live with in my life for a while because that quote just screams uniqueness to me. Everyone has their own personal traits that make them special and that’s what makes them unique and the person they are. Trying to be like everyone else is what makes you even, so you can never prosper over the others and become the great individual you can be. Keeping the same attitude and outlook is also a way of not prospering in life because you never open up to new realities and perspectives that could help you to become a better person.

My fourth philosophy is one that I’ve lived with since as far as I can remember. “Education is the first step to happiness.” I have been constantly reminded of how important it is for me to get high grades in order for me to get into university. University has been my ultimate goal for at least the last five years. I’ve sat through many lectures from my parents and grandparents about how hard I need to work in high school, but I never took it seriously until now. I knew that from the starting of grade 10 I really needed to start studying and hunker down into learning. I never started to study until the end of grade 11. At the beginning of grade 12 I knew that I really needed to study and start planning out the rest of my life since time is limited and my whole life depends on this last year of my childhood. Education is all dependent on time. Time will take me to where I need to go and I need to put in the effort to get myself there.

http://globalgurus.org/Blog/what-is-real-education/

My last philosophy concerns memories. “Remember the moments in your days, not the days itself.” When we look back at our lives, we don’t look at the bigger picture. We look towards all the fun little memories we had with our friends. When we grow up and look back at our high school years, we are going to remember the specific memories we had from every grade of high school, not the bigger picture of high school itself. Having these memories in our lives also connects to our happiness as I mentioned in my previous philosophy.

In my five philosophies, I tried to find a way to connect everything together. The one theme I kept in mind while thinking of my philosophies was happiness. Happiness is a state in which you are satisfied with yourself and your surroundings and enjoying everything that is thrown at you by life. Happiness is the key factor that makes you want to live life and experience it.

My Five Life Philosophies

There is no end.
The world doesn’t stop spinning just because our time ends. Three generations from now most of us will be forgotten, my descendants might no even know what I look like. I shouldn’t be pushing to go out in a bang, because over time everything is washed away.

https://www.etsy.com/ca/people/BenjaminDewey?ref=pr_profile

No one cares.
I once heard someone say that they couldn’t remember more than half of the people they went to high school with. And it got me thinking, everything stupid thing I do, every little mistake I make will mean nothing to those who get to know me in passing. The only thing these small mistakes can serve to do is help me. Everyone is so wrapped up in themselves that they don’t have time to care about every bodies problems.

Loyalty.
Every person has loyalty to someone, family, friends or themselves. Loyalty isn’t do what another person wants, or being an unthinking drone for your country, but showing that you trust someone. I’m loyal to myself, not changing or going against my own beliefs because my family doesn’t share them. In turn, I am loyal to my friends because I don’t abandon them when they’re in need.

Freedom is an idea created in the human mind.
The idea of freedom had been immortalized in the image of a flying bird, but the bird isn’t truly free. The bird can’t write, or speak English, the limitations of the birds body and mind restrict it to simple things. Humans are limited the same way, I can’t grow wings or develop gills, and it is impossible for me to live past a hundred and twenty. I shouldn’t push myself to do things I will never be able to do.

https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/a5/29/dc/a529dcf1f69e4173267a9e6674619a8c.jpg

Does it really matter?
Something that could seem like the end of the world could be nothing in the grand scheme of things. Time is always moving forward, you will never live the same second ever again, so why dwell on the small things, when there is so much more you can do.

Narrative: No one cares.
When I was younger (before high school) I would think over every little thing I did that day before I went to bed. I didn’t sit down and decide to, it just came to mind when I would be laying in bed trying to sleep. It stressed me out beyond belief, going over every little thing an imagining how people would taunt me with it the next day. I was on YouTube one night, and in the video the guy said that people don’t care, that they’re so wrapped up in their own problems that they don’t have the ability to care about those around them. It was the first step into what I will call “Rhiannon’s spiral into uncaringness”. One persons words just dropped me onto a path that lead to me not giving a single turd about what people thought of me or what I did. As long as I was happy with myself and I’m not hurting people then it’s okay, and in turn I apply that when I encounter people everyday.

My life philosophy

My Quote: Family is more important than anything

Our friends and family play a large role in whom we are today and who we will be in the future. The biggest influence may come from your family my mother is mine. My mom is important to me because she is always there for me; she always cares for me when I’m sick. No matter how bad of a day she had, she will always listen to me. She taught me every little thing like to be polite and to be respectful to everyone. She manages to keep our home and everyone in it, in order. Whenever something becomes too much for me she is there calming me down. She always makes me feel better and she will do this with a smile even when I forget to say thank you. She supports me and always encourages me to go after and my dreams. She has taught me what is right and what is wrong and what I should do when I make a bad decision. Family gives the teaching that guide us through our lives and these are the values we carry everywhere we go. Family is important to us it shapes our development and personality. They come to our aid during hard times. They teach us how to have relationship with other people, how to love, and how to get along. They are the people you can talk to and celebrate with. They are something that you can go to time of fear. They are long lasting friends. Family means strength to me because no matter what you and your family go through you know that you will be able to surpass all, as long as you work together.  Family means to have respect for each other and responsibility. Think how really precious is the time you spent with your whole family. Today’s moments become tomorrow’s memory. They are child’s first teachers and act as role models in how to act. Whenever I go somewhere on vacation with my family, or cousins, I always think how much fun I am going to have. When we are coming back from the vacation you always think back how much fun we had, wished we could have stayed longer, and repeat those moments you have spent again. Recently my grandfather lost this mother. At that moment I went into depression because only the people who have lost a close family member can understand what it feels like and how much does it affect them. For children, a child looks up to family trusts, and relies on them providing shelter, food, and love. For children, their family is their world. They can see nothing but families for the most important when they are young. They provide their children with unique identity. The teachings that your parents give you can be positive and negative. For example if a parent is shopping at a mall with a child all of sudden the parent bangs into someone and their bags drop on the floor would you help them out and say sorry. If a parent does help it shows that their child will help out in the future to. If a parent does not help out it shows that their child will not help out now and in the future. This example shows that what parents teach children that’s what they learn. Family bond together and make each other feel important. They are the people we can always turn to and they know us so well.
