This summer I had a five hour surgery to correct jaw asymmetry. While the physical pain associated with six bone fractures and four titanium metal plates was almost unbearable, the hardest part was not being able to be myself. I didn’t look like myself, feel like myself, and couldn’t do many of the things that I love. While my summer was objectively dismal, the whole experience helped me realize who my true friends are and what was important to me. Four friends who visited me a few times a week, whenever they were free. Even though I couldn’t talk at the beginning and was often asleep, their mere presence brought a smile to my face. I learned that the people who sitck by you when you’re not particularly fun to be around are the most important.
friendships with my very close girlfriends, helps with everything. I can count them on one hand, they have been

Human beings have many fears ranging from the unique to the common fears of many man. There is steadily increase in people having fear of sharks as written in Sharks and People: Exploring Our Relationship with the Most Feared Fish in the Sea by Thomas P. Peschak, “The technical term for the fear of sharks is selachophobia or galeophobia. Studies by psychologists show that we are not born with fear of sharks or any other living creature, but that these fears are acquired during early childhood through the display of emotions of people in our immediate surroundings.

Making so many different friends at so many different places helped me understand different people and different ways of thinking and doing so, gave me my second passion -helping others.
The earliest British feature-length Western to depict Native Americans (and coincidentally the first Western to be filmed in Spain) was Raoul Walsh’s comedy The Sheriff of Fractured Jaw (1958). Although Walsh was American born, the film’s production was based at London’s Pinewood Studios under the guidance of British producer Daniel M. Angel. Additionally, rather than selecting a rugged John Wayne-style figure to be the hero of the film, The Sheriff of Fractured Jaw featured English actor Kenneth More as the doltish protagonist Jonathan Tibbs. In the movie, Tibbs, a member of a family of gunsmiths, reads of the Wild West’s fascination with firearms and departs for America expecting to earn himself a healthy profit as a salesman. Although
What I had was a body, a body with a heart, brain, liver, kidneys, and blood that pumped through every fiber of my being. Anorexia nervosa attempted to destroy what I had, but I refused to let it. I made a promise to myself that every mirror I encountered I would point out what I did have and not what I didn’t have. However, which each look I took Ed tried to show me a different picture of myself. I had a hard time trying to find the right picture, the one I knew was the true me. I had to teach myself that a perfect body is not what I truly wanted. What I wanted was a healthy body. Health in today’s society has taken on a different meaning. Images of young women in magazines are whom we perceive as healthy. However, I learned that true health couldn’t be shown in an image. Instead it's our internal rather than our external of our bodies that show true health. Teaching myself that was difficult, but by doing so I taught myself confidence. I now look inside myself for who I am, rather than judging what I see on the outside. I’ve learned a lesson most women never learn. Becoming grateful of what I do have, I learned to be confident. I am more self-assured today, than I was two years ago. Gratitude has served as a constant reminder in my life. Whether my body be shamed or admired, I know it’s richness, it’s intents, and it's

My mother, she's my favorite best person. She's always with me since i was a kid she's been there when I fall down and need her help. She helped me with my homework when I was small and when I was sick and she would take care of me.

Despite only being in high school for two years, the friends that I have made have greatly impacted who I am as a person. Whenever I am struggling, my friends are the first people I turn to for advice.

Friendship. We all see it in movies, we read about it in books, and social media doesn't stop posting pictures about it. Since I was little, I hoped to grow up having a best friend. I've met people who promised to never leave me and that they would protect my back. However, it did not take them that long for them to destroy my happiness. Nevertheless, through the pain and confusion, there were people who came, bandaged my trust issues with their smile, and comfort, and taught me to believe in that there were still people out there that believed in friendship.
