Lesson That Help Me

However, for me, elementary school is a somewhat painful memory. Throughout most of my grade school years I was bullied–physically and verbally–almost everyday. The kids on the playground would exclude me, my “friends” would be my friends one day and not the next, and then there would be the days that they kicked me or hurt me in some form or fashion. Of course, looking back now, it seems like petty, childish games, but in the moment it was a huge blow to the fragile eight year old I was. It wasn’t all terrible, though. Before the bullying I was naive, quick to trust, and fragile. Afterwards though, from all these experiences I learned forgiveness, kindness, grace, and who to place my trust in. As I grew up, I swore I’d never treat anyone the way I had been treated and I wouldn’t stand for bullying; no child should have to experience that kind of emotional and physical

I have always felt like an outsider. I wish I would have not cared earlier on about what people thought about me it would help deal with everything I went through .A thing to consider is that if I didn’t get bullied I wouldn’t be this confident person I am today.

What did your character learn? In the story Every Soul a Star, the characters learned that even when they think that a situation is going to be awful, amazing things can come out of it.

It is often during our teen years that we find ourselves turning to our friends to help make decisions and the conflict of integrity starts. We either stand up for our beliefs or start going along with the crowd no matter the consequences. As a teen, I remember hanging out in a group of people that would occasionally bully other kids. It started during my freshman year of high school. It wasn’t the whole group, but there were a few kids that made life for others horrible.

I learned that our thinking can make bad decisions. Our thoughts can change with comparing things. We can say no to one thing, but if it is compared to something else that can change our mind. The comparison can make things look different in our mind to make us make a different decision. The information that I learned is important because it helps you to look at things differently now. Sometimes it is best to stick with your first choice or decision and can cause an irrational decision.

In both “Harrison Bergeron” and “All summer in a Day” the authors are showing that if kids are rude to other kids then the bad kids will be treated rudely back. After reading both stories a reader can conclude that we all need to treat each other equally no matter how good looking or smart we are. So if a kid is not being treated the way they should be treated, then treat them the way they want to be treated.

Lessons can come in many forms, some more straight forward than others. In the story “The Lesson,” by Toni Cade Bambara a girl with hate in her heart learns that good things can happen to anyone and in the essay “Commencement Speech, Kenyon College,” by David Foster Wallace he guides us to not live with hate in your heart. Both authors bring up the fact that people tend to be very selfish and annoyed with other people around them. They also suggest that a person can transcend a negative environment through effort. They explain this in different ways which leads to a lesson in both stories.

Another example of one such lesson is Dad’s white shirt- “Could he have seen it? Could he have seen what Erick did?”. Paul’s dad didn’t see how costly was his investment was. Mr. Fisher had invested everything in the Erick Fisher Football Dream. He had nothing to lose and everything to gain. Why would he tell stop to Erick? That would mean that he would lose everything he had. Paul’s dad chose to blind to what bad things that Erick has done, rather than have the dream and everything else crash on his head. He was too ignorant and blind to see that Erick was failing and that he spent all his time on Erick. If he had to pay a little more attention to Paul, Paul would have easily been able to go to professional soccer. Throughout the blindness of Paul’s dad, we learn two important lessons: Don’t be too blind to see that our investment is failing and need to be fixed. Now that we explore two types of seeing: fantasy and willing be blind, what other types of seeing wait to

"This is Water" by David Foster Wallace is a short story that provides many life lessons. Lessons, for example, the world does not spin around yourself. Also, it educates the lesson that you should not live as though your fate is already chosen. Go for broke if there is a chance to affect your life emphatically. Additionally, if not for the sacrifices of numerous people, we would not have similar freedoms that we live within our day to say life. Ultimately, life isn't an assurance, you should know, know that things happen, great and terrible, yet it's the way you respond that influences your life to all around lived.

Based upon Morrie’s words of wisdom, I believe this lesson is the idea that it is never too late to learn, grow, change, and live life to the fullest. The novel explored life from both a young man’s perspective, as well as an old man’s perspective. Mitch, the young man, concealed in his life some choices that he regretted. Morrie teaches him that it is not too late for him to change and move on from these choices. Morrie, the older man, is slowly dying, and yet continues to learn and grow and live life the way he wants to live it. Morrie expresses this lesson through explaining the importance of avoiding feeling sorry for ourselves and using emotion labor to detach from our emotions in order to live life to the

Since the students were so comfortable with their cliques, they were very oblivious to neglecting and rejecting other students in the classroom. For example, there was this boy who had a crush on one of the girls in the class. Although there was a problem, he was part of the rejected clique and she was part of the popular clique. This did not discourage him though, on Valentines Day the class had a party, and he brought her chocolates and flowers. It was very sweet, but she thought that she was so much better than him and refused to take his gifts. Her friends also made fun of him for it. This not only hurt his feelings but it also made him feel more rejected. I felt so bad for him and didn’t know how to handle the situation. When I asked the teacher about how to handle future situations like that, she just brushed it off and said it was children drama, but in my eyes, that was bullying and it was very unacceptable. At first I was upset that I was placed with this teacher. Although now that I reflect on the situation, I am glad that I was able to learn from her actions, so I can become an open, well-educated

Growing up, I learned many things from my parents, but I also learned values from my many high school friends. Every kid wants to be accepted, but the school years can be tough. In my high school there were many labels for people and if someone did not fit those labels they had a hard time feeling like they belonged. My friends were not the typical athletes, musicians, or students. We were a mix of kids who saw things differently and looked different. We had long hair, wore edgy clothes and listened to music that was not a favorite among our peers. We often felt that teachers and other students judged us, so we worked hard at accepting others and treating others with respect. If anyone wanted to be a part of our social circle, we happily accepted them no matter what color their skin was, how they dressed, or wore their hair. I learned that everyone has something to offer if you give them the chance and open your mind to them without judgement. In high school, I reached out to a person that I would not
