For the last couple of years, I have learned that actions speak louder than words. I have learned that from Bobby, my step-dad, and my dad. When I was about eleven I learned this, I learned this because I would have volleyball games and my dad always said he would show up and he never did. So then when I did have these games and my dad didn’t show up then it made me learn the hard way. He’s always like a faithful cat, cheering me up when I’m down. It has really taught me that actions speak louder than words. My dad only showed up to a few of my game but to all but a few of my brother games. My dad not showing up has taught me that actions do speak louder than words. As if he’s a distant cat and hisses when you go near him and is never there. Also that I can't count on him for …show more content…
For example, my friends will say they have no plans but, really they lie to me and hung out behind my back. Another example is when, my parents or people say they're going to do something fun with me, and then they fail to follow through. Another example is when my stepmom promises something and makes plans with me and then cancels last minute. For example, one time she said we could go shopping and hang out, then when I came over she said she couldn’t go anymore and canceled at the last minute and then went and ran errands without me. Though, it has taught me some good and bad it all turns out pretty well because it teaches me a lot of lessons about life. Like for example, that I can't count on some people and that people don't always say what they mean. It’s like when people say it's raining cats and dogs sometimes it good and sometimes it bad.It's good because you get to go outside and jump and splash around in the puddles. It's also bad because your outside, it's cold and, it's raining and pouring. If I need help or want someone to come to my games then who do I count on? I guess I'll just have to figure that out the hard
when I was ten years old I lost my grandpa, it was a very bad experience for me but it made me stronger. I remember when he taught me how to catch a baseball, ride a bike, mow the lawn and a lot of other things that I will forever cherish in my heart. the memory I will never forget though is when he taught me everything I needed to know about baseball. we would always go outside together and he would do certain agilities with me to build my stamina, teach me how to catch a pop-fly and he would work on pitching with me which is actually one of my main position that I play today. baseball was a big part of my grandpas life and he always wanted me to play In the major leagues. once he passed away my motives for playing in the major leagues increased.
“You cant afford a call strike. If you going down… you going down swinging” This is quote explains my father Troy Maxson very well, because he was man who didn't quit easily and held up with his responsiblitles as a man should. Troy was a large man with heavy thick hands, who's largeness informs his senseiblilltes and the choices he made in his life. He had 3 kids, but only raised 2 of them. He was a lifter and a driver at work, and loved the game baseball, he would make many comparisons of his life with baseball. He had a very tough life as a child and adult but managed to deal with it showing a lot much courage when he left his house at the age of 14. His best friend was bono, they been friends for more than 20 years.
On top of that, I learned a valuable lesson from the failure and the loss as well. From that day forth, the past experiences transformed me to be a hard-working and responsible person. Furthermore, I acknowledged that when something bad happens, it can prepare us for the future obstacles, so let always be optimistic and never give up on trying.
Right when I realized it is important for me to not just play for fun, I started to play less video games, and do more Baseball practices. My dad would always tell me it’s not good to play video games, because they cannot help you, but baseball can help you succeed in life. This really changed my view on what Baseball potentially has.
I have been to a few schools throughout my life and I feel I learned a lot down the road and I feel it made me a better person, a smarter person. When I was a kid I didn’t have my parents, they got pregnant at a young age and couldn’t keep me and my older brother so we split up. My parents ended up giving my brother to my grandmother when he was just a baby, and then I came along and my parents ended up getting a divorce so I went to live with my father first
Having my dad as my coach was a great factor in my soccer career. Even though he was hard on me, he pushed me to do my best. Without him on the sidelines I wouldn’t have became the soccer player I am today. I found myself spending more time with my dad than I would have if I never played soccer. Playing soccer with him really brought us together and we have a great relationship because of it.
That experience basically instilled in me that no matter how good things are going it could change in an instant. I also stopped taking the small things in my life for granted. I live by the phrase, “It could always be worse”. It helps me stay positive in even the most stressful situations. Things don’t affect me like they used to because I can have that positive perception of just about any problem I
My dad has always been there for me both as a parent and a friend. When I was little, my dad got involved in coaching in my little league baseball, basketball and soccer, and always made time for these father and son activities. We liked to play ball together and still do at times. My dad is a big sports fan and so am I, and I look forward to the weekends when we watch the ball games together. My dad started to take my to the ball games when I was about 5 years old, and we've been doing that ever since. But, playing ball isn't all that's important in life. My father has given me the necessary guidance and has taught me values as a person that have helped me develop from a child into a responsible adult. I want him to be proud of me too, and I know that he is.
Life lessons are good for people. They can help you more than they can hurt you. They really don’t hurt you, because they are like warnings for the bad stuff out in the world today. They are just little helpful hints. They are especially helpful when you are in the time of need. If a life’s lesson hurts you, you are using them in the wrong way.
The boys and girls taught me much more than I ever expected, what it means to be positive, get through hard times. The relationships I made may not still be in tact today, but the marks they left on me, and who I am as a person, still remain. I am forever changed for good because of the people I met at a small orphanage in Tecate, Mexico.
Have you learned any valuable lessons from it?” We all decided that in a way this book has made us see life different, that one bad day for us, is another person’s good day. A valuable lesson is not to be afraid of death but embrace it just like Morrie did. Since reading this book I have a distinct way of looking at thing, even the most negative things in my life I see as positive because I have the power to change them.
When I turned six years old I was old enough to play on a Little League team, and my father volunteered to be the coach. He worked long hours but always found enough time to dedicate to the team. At first our team was not very good, but that would soon change. My father practiced us hard every week and by the end of the season we made the playoffs. Even though we did not win the Championship that year, our team had reason to be proud. We won a few games, and we had a lot of fun, thanks to my dad. I played baseball for a total of ten years, and he was my coach for at least half of them.
It taught me that people are going to come into your life and all they want to do is see you fail. This idea of life is rather intimidating, but I know that as long as I don’t let their words get to me, nothing will be able... ... middle of paper ... ... metimes, but only if I think the poem has meaning. I do not like to read poems if people write them just so they can be there.
Today I take this lesson and try my best to apply it in my life. I just recently broke up with my girlfriend and she hurt me deeply. My love for her is stronger than I’ve ever experienced for anybody. Even though my heart is hurting and it feels like my chest is going to cave in I know I can’t be angry at her. People’s feelings change and I can’t let that situation turn me into a person with a negative outlook on love and life. I’ll do just as Mama taught me to love and show kindness to my ex girlfriend, Kirtrina, regardless of how much she hurt me. Mama demonstrated ensuring the happiness of those we, love even when wronged is the best way to live and that is how I want to be remembered. Not having a negative thought connected to my name after I’m gone.
There are numerous lessons that I have learned from life, they were lessons that I learned from good and bad experiences in life. Different experiences from school and out of school that has made me the way I am today. There is a long list of experiences that in reality did not teach me much.
