Relationships are a crucial part of living a happy and healthy life. Through relationships we find friendship, companionship, comfort, and stability. I definitely found all of these aspects in my friendship with Lilly. During 7th grade my family decided that I would be switching schools for high school and that it would be good to switch during 8th grade for an easier transition. Near the end of my 7th grade year I visited Ravenna Middle School for a day to see if I liked it. For this visit, I was assigned a student that I would follow around of the day and that person was Lilly. I remember being really nervous to spend a day with a stranger but the principal ensured me that Lilly was really nice and outgoing and that I would really have a good time with her. It turns out that he was right.
I ended up moving to Ravenna for my 8th grade year and really loved it. Surprisingly, Lilly and I weren’t very good friends at first but once volleyball season started, it really brought us together. We quickly became best friends and started doing everything together. We were both good athletes and both did well academically, however we were very different in many ways. She is very outgoing and just overall very cheerful about life. She is the kind of person that wouldn’t hurt a fly, and we definitely handle situations differently. Overall, when it came to athletics she was a lot
Today I am talking about how my best friend and I met. My best friend’s name is Sydney Rott. The story of how we met is a cliché but I am going to explain it anyway. We didn't know each other up until my Sophomore year and her Junior year. I decided I wanted to go out for the tennis team, even though I have never really played before, I still decided to join. Sydney was the number one player for the Harrisburg Tennis Team. I thought that she was a brat when I first met her, but as time went on I started to like her.
She was the nicest girl in the world. I also had the best swim coach and she shared the same birthday with me. Mrs. Tessena was my first grade teacher and she really liked me because she had my brother in her class. Things in Ohio were
As I was going to a new school which was RJBaskett middle school I felt really nervous. It was kind of a big deal to me because that would mean new friends and different teachers. As a sixth grader I joined the basketball team and as a seventh and eighth grader I joined the cheer team. Cheerleading was probably my favorite sport in middle school, I liked basketball too but I felt like I was better at cheer than I was at basketball. I had really great friends in middle school some of my friends were from elementary to but I also met new ones, which was really nice and I liked them. I had a really great friend I met in cheerleading and her name is Brooklynn Brubaker, we have been friends ever since the seventh grade she is such a great friend.
It all started when I was the new girl in sixth grade at Thomas Jefferson Middle School. It was the third day when I first came in and I didn't know anybody. I had math in 8th period and I sat next to Becca. The first time I talked to her is when I needed a pencil and asked her to borrow one. It was really awkward at first because we didn't know each other and we were both really shy. Later, me and Becca started talking a little more everyday from “This class is boring” to “Sit next to me at lunch”. After me and Becca started talking more we started to realize we have almost every class together. We then started to partner up when we could for partner projects. Then we were pretty much good friends
I met Victoria in middle school when I had recently moved from Mexico and she was always eager to provide assistance to others. We quickly became best friends in the subsequent years as we spent time together in class. Because education has always been a priority for us, we shared similar goals in school and worked together to accomplish them.
My friend Ellijah is one of the most outgoing, animated and hard-working friends I have met. He is the same age as I am. We have been extremely close friends since 6th grade, when my transfer from Farmington Schools to Lakeville Schools happened. Our friendship started in Middle School gym class, and still continues today. One of the first things we learned about each other was, we both lived between two houses growing up, and had many brothers and sisters along with step-parents. Joining a new school was something scary to me and a hard to do. Especially becoming new to the city of Lakeville. Ellijah was there to hang out and help me whenever I needed it. We are still close friends today! We attend the same Church group at Hosanna, play on the same football team, and get food with Tommy, Bryce, and Jack on the weekends at Chipotle.
Happiness: a Human Disease -- An Examination of the Allegorical Theme of Existentialism in the Happy Man
We are, if you believe in cliches, the best of friends, or as we like to call each other, sisters. Lucy and I went to St. Mike's and Central together, and is someone I truly look up to. Anna Turani and I have known each other through dance for eight years, and she is an amazing person I am fortunate to know. Maddie Tiu is a person I truly admire with her organization and drive to succeed in whatever life throws at her. Maddie Crawford is one of the most mature and strong eighth graders I know.
On November 6th, 2015, I had the pleasure of interviewing a delightful woman named, Lilly LaVigne. We discussed how she was born at the Saint Cloud Hospital on March 27th, 1949, making her sixty-seven-years-old and apart of the baby boomer generation. Also, she is a white non-Hispanic woman with a German nationality. She has a strong Christian faith, which she considers to be the most important thing about her. She describes her life as an, “Ongoing adventure” (LaVigne, 2015). Lilly’s life course proves that there are many more facets of aging other than just the chronological aspect, including the psychological aspect, the social aspect, and the biological aspect.
Everyone hopes that they can find a friend that they love and trust like family. I was lucky enough to find multiple but Lizzy Maxwell is probably my greatest friend yet. Lizzy is one of the most interesting people you could ever meet. She is hilarious, caring but also very hardworking. She has been my best friend since the third grade when we both joined the same girl scout troop, that we both ended up quitting the next year only to join the same lacrosse team. We have lived in the same small neighborhood our entire lives, and spent nearly every day together throughout grade school. I don’t think I know anyone better than I know Lizzy Maxwell. Even 400 miles apart I can still imagine her long brown hair, tan Mediterranean skin and radiating
There is a in my lunch period, her name is Megan, she was probably the nicest person in the school. One day she saw a girl who just moved here sitting alone, in a split second Megan got her lunch and sat by this lonely girl. Megan and this girl (I'll call her Raymi) hung out for the whole lunch period. Eventually this became daily, then Megan introduced Raymi to all her other friends. Megan and Raymi now have a friendship. Megan was being kind and helped Raymi find other friends, that's "friendship".
Around the age of 10, we started getting very involved with school sports. She lived in Byrdstown and found her gift which was cheering, of course mine was Basketball. As time went on, we only got to see each other at basketball games and special occasions. But, we always knew that we would be best friends forever.
There is really no definite explanation for what a happy and healthy life consists of. People may create a list of qualities that one desires for a “good” life, though many may come from a bad source. Profound philosophers Jean Kazez and Chris Heathwood developed both subjective and objective theories to help define the true meaning of a substantial life. Jean Kazez was responsible for the objective view of well being, where life requires fundamental goods or necessities for a good life. On the other hand, Chris Heathwood explained in a subjective view that satisfying your desires will promote well being. In the movie, D’Jango Unchained, two black men, Stephen and D’Jango, experienced contrasting lives and confronted each other at the end of the movie. During the time period the movie transpires in, it was extremely rare for a black man to have a “good” life. Most black people were made into slaves, but both Stephen and D’Jango had better lives. Stephen had a bad quality of life, and D’Jango aspired to live a “good” life based on the objective and subjective views of well being.
She was very nice, sweet and friendly. I invited her to my house, we hung out to other places outside of school and she was VERY shy there too. 1 year passed, we chatted through Facebook and we made videocalls through Skype and watched movies together. It was great, because she was a good listener and I started telling her my inner secrets. She was also a great advisor and a great friend; she never betrayed me or failed in being a good friend. Now, we're in Senior year, and we're the bestest friends ever. And I REALLY am grateful of having her in my life - she literally made me a better person and made me feel hopeful again... This is just a shoutout to everyone who reads this; people can be more awesome than you think, and they can even change your
It is common sense that all the human beings would like to live a happy life and they will spare no efforts in order to realize the purpose of really living a happy life in the end. However, different people have different definitions toward what a happy life is and they tend to have different standards as for how a life is that can be regarded as a happy life. There is no doubt that people will then try different means in order to pursue a happy life based on their definition toward what a happy life is. Therefore, the following will talk about the pursuit of a happy life from the perspectives of both Dalai Lama in The Art of Happiness and Viktor E. Frankl in Man’s Searching for Meaning, during which the experiences of some characters from the film Forrest Gump will be applied as evidence. Generally speaking, the pursuit of a happy life in the minds of Dalai Lama and Viktor E. Frankl can be achieved via experiencing sufferings and adversity. It is hoped that this analysis can help people understand what a happy is from a different point of view.
