Recommended: An essay on self discipline

First off, I do not feel an attachment to many people, but Travis is an important person to me due to the fact that he has always been around for me, and we share many of the same philosophies and beliefs. I appreciate his views and opinions of life and all of the events that occur during it. I also find it quite astonishing that he has the drive and self discipline to teach himself many things that are not easy to learn ,such as the Russian language,and also to follow the things he cares about. For example, one activity that we often do together is eat lunch together. We almost always go to Val-Am across the road and talk on the way. We talk about many things mostly music and shows we watch ,sometimes classes , and rarely people mostly because

    760 Words  | 2 Pages

    In Melody Peterson’s “Our Daily Meds” , the history of marketing and advertising in the pharmaceutical industry is explored. The first chapter of the book, entitled “Creating disease”, focuses on how major pharmaceutical companies successfully create new ailments that members of the public believe exist. According to Peterson, the success that these drug manufacturers have experienced can be attributed to the malleability of disease, the use of influencial people to promote new drugs, the marketing behind pills, and the use of media outlets.

  • Travis's Choices In Neyashing

    He believes in her in many ways and has great faith in her. First of all, he trusts Aja to act and be there when help is needed. Travis feels that when the community is in need, Aja will be there to help. He trusts her to be there when needed, and to take the appropriate steps in fixing the current problem. When explaining her role in the community, Travis explains it as an almost spirit-like occurrence. He says, “I felt a rush of joy to see her there […]. Aja’s journeys to the end of the spit were good omens; Aja moved when people needed her to move” (Drew 15). This represents Travis’ trust in Aja since it shows how he believes that she is there whenever needed. Since she moves when help is required, the fact that her moving is a “good omen” means that Travis has great faith in her ability to help. He seems to believe that no problem is too big for her and that she can always be relied on. He also seems to be very happy to see her, which demonstrates his belief and trust in her. Travis also trusts Aja as a mother figure in terms of trusting others. When Travis was a child, his mother taught him to look into others’ eyes to determine if they were trustworthy. If you could see horizons in their eyes, you would trust them; if you did not see the horizons, you would not. Travis’ mother passed away when he was young, and from the day she left and onwards, Aja took over as a mother figure in his life. For

    Kyle and I met on the schoolbus, living so close to one another and all. We didn't have any classes together, but he would always sit in the back of the bus with his four siblings, chatting with one another. While we were in the culdesac they would always talk about this weird black striped squirrel that lived outside their house, but when the bus left that part of the neighborhood they would always talk about something I could actually join in on, like The Brady Bunch.

    Another thing that me and Cole did for an activity was we played a lot of Fortnite which we got very good at. Me and Cole also went to dinner which we had very long good conversations about his family and baseball. We spent about a lot of time just talking about life and problems with him. After talking to him I got to know him closer on a personal note. Most of the stuff we talked about was confidential so I’m not going to go into detail but we talked about an issue he had with a person and what he should do about it and came to a conclusion to help with him and that person. This activity helped us achieve my goal by getting to know him more and what I’m going to be talking with him about him in future encounters. We spent about 1 hour hanging out then we met up with friends. I choose to introduce him to my friends so that we can get closer with each other's friends. I want to make sure that he has other influences in his life that are good that he looks up to. We had a fun time and we now are able to hang out with each others friends.

  • Graduation Speech: Footsteps on a Beach

    Friendship: the most important part of our high school years that we cherish the most. Every good friend that has come into our lives, like footsteps that we encounter along a walk on a beach, leaves us with a different perspective of who we really are. The activities that we are involved in throughout high school introduce us to life changing friends. My freshman year, during track, I met one of those special friends. We ran the same distance races; together we shared that special bond as teammates. She's always been an extraordinary athlete, who runs with her heart, who I have always looked up to. At the district championships we were warming down together. I told her how she inspired me and that I felt that she was my hero. The next thing I knew I found myself singing. She made me stop before I could finish, otherwise she would have started to cry.

    “Visualization is enabled and mediated through technology” (pg.179). With different apps you can download on your mobile phone to share pictures or contexts, it is easier for media to spread around to people of all ages. Reproduction of original images is also easier to do now because with the click of your side buttons on your phone you can own it. Like what Walter Benjamin said in his essay The Work of Art in the Age of Mechanical Reproduction, no image is truly unique. There are plenty of side by sides of films or photographs that show that there is no unique idea or placement inside them but it is merely a copy of something else and the pattern continues forward with time. In his essay, Benjamin said “An original artwork’s meaning changes

    I'm younger, and we never hung out. We've got mutual friends and we've eaten at all the same places. Small town, not many places. We've both driven out the same canyons in a pickup with mud and girls, same girls? Who knows? There's a keg or two in the back kicking up dust up into it all and clouding up the sky, and we're throwing empty glass bottles shattering at trees and shadows and animals as we drive and sing.

  • My Relationship Essay

    2088 Words  | 5 Pages

    Throughout most of my life I have gained friendships and relationships with others that have turned into long term, but others which only lasted a short while. The friendship that has greatly impacted my life significantly over the last eight years is someone who means so much to me. This meaningful friendship all started back when I was in middle school, which has grown stronger over the years. I met Brooke in middle school because we had some of the same classes and were in homeroom together. Our friendship developed quickly and lasted throughout our high school years. We became really close our Junior and Senior year of high school. But, maintaining our friendship hasn’t always been so easy. Today, we text and call each other on our free time, but I know I can count and rely on her when I need someone to talk too. I call her my second sister and vice versa. And when we go home on breaks we see one another as much as we can. The best part of our relationship is that if one is in need of advice or in need of a shoulder to cry on, we are always there for one another. Keeping in contact is very important in our relationship and communication has played a key role in our relationship.

The main objective when we go out is to communicate with the opposite sex. It's either us going up to the girls or the girls coming up to us. We would see them at either Waikiki or at clubs. We would prefer going to a club because we both like to dance, but Waikiki is a good second option.
