What does patient mean? Patient means that you are understanding and tolerant of others. Having patience is a major asset that I think everyone should have in life. Sometimes in our lives especially mine, we have had times where having patience is not the easiest thing. Sometimes we react in the opposite way and it turns bad but, having patience can resolve all of the problems. As asked above, I know a story about someone who has had the most enormous amount of patience.

To begin, the person that I am going to write about is my mom, who has an abundance of patience. First of all, I am a eighteen year old girl, living in Worland Wyoming and may be a little boy crazy. Also, I am involved in almost every sport I can participate in which makes me very competitive and fit. Being very involved in school and sports makes me be a very social person and I love to hangout with my friends, and stay busy all the time. As you can see I am a very active person and being this way, one might say that it can drive some one nuts. This person being my mother. She is always there for me no matter what I do. She supports me in everything that I do whether I suck at it or am really good. Even though we may fight and argue she always has the …show more content…

My mother and I have our ups and downs and completely drive each other nuts sometimes. And there was this one time we went at each other a little too much. It was last summer and I was going into my senior year. Not only was I going through a breakup with my ex-boyfriend who I had been dating for a year and a half but, my dad had relapsed with his addiction and that piled on stress. While going through all this I was talking to one of the biggest man whores in Worland Wyoming and decided that he would be the one person that I would talk to, he was there because I was trying to get over my ex. Speaking of this man whore he happened to be the boy that my mother despised the

I immediately took my mother's side like I usually did because no one in our family appreciates or respects what she does. My father would later grow to regret what he said and apologize. Tonight was different though. My mother usually took my father's comments in stride knowing he really does not mean what he says. But, this time they both exploded at each other and my mother ended up running out of the kitchen upset, retiring to her room.

  • ' When Waiting Is Weightless: The Virtue Of Patience?

    For a person like me majoring in Computer Science, this talk highlighted the importance of presenting ideas to the world. Chris in his professional world is certainly a genius roboticist, but in this talk, he has to approach a wider audience, to show the product of his effort to the world. So, he used different rhetorically effective approaches like metaphors, contrasts to illustrate how self-driving can make commutes safe, and be usable for a versatile group of people. Moreover, people like me majoring in technical field do not take subjects like English seriously, as they won’t directly get involved in the fields of English in the future. But, what I have learnt from this talk is that, English as a subject if taken seriously can change the

  • Perception In The Perception Process

    Perceptions from both parties might not always be the same, but the process is. Throughout the entire week of thanksgiving, the perception I had of my mother was that she had reverted back to her actions of being unfair. The reason why I perceived her that way is because her actions caused me to select her traits that I found flawed and obnoxious. I also organized her into her social role as a mother as well as her interaction styles with me that I perceived as negative, which led me to interpret that the reason she’s harsher towards me is because she cares about my siblings more. Our personal narratives, or how we describe the story from our point of view, resulted in constant pointing of faults towards each other, which made the negotiation stage difficult to achieve. This difficulty had a negative impact on our relationship during the entire week of

    For the first few months, it wasn’t obvious to those around her that she had developed this addiction. When it finally became obvious to my father, he confronted her with treatment options that she continually refused. He turned to alcohol to escape the stresses of living with an addict. By this time I was three and my mother had turned to harder drugs. Life went on with my parents continuing to struggle with their addiction. The stress that this put on both of them slowly turned them both into abusive people. They began abusing each other, which eventually escalated to every night when my father came home from the bar and they would scream, throw dishes, and even hit each other. Just once, I decided that if I came downstairs and asked them to stop they just might realize how much listening to them fighting damaged my life, but instead of being understanding, my mother picked me up by my hair and threw me into our large living room window, I later found out that she was high on heroin that night. In November of 1999, my parents found out they were expecting another child and everything seemed to calm down for a

    I, first of all, am not that picky when it comes to a spouse, as long as I am attracted to them as they are to me. I would want my significant other to have good cleaning abilities. I would want her to have that, because I’m not very tidy, but maybe in a couple years I will be able to start being a little bit cleaner. She would also be willing to withstand long car rides or plane trips, mostly because I enjoy traveling. Last, but certainly not least, she would have to be patient. The sole reason for why she would have to be patient, is because I plan on having a kid or two of my own. Then again, she would have to be willing to have the child.
