Why Is Someone Important To Me

“Happiness is a perfume you cannot pour on others without getting a few drops on yourself,” says essayist Ralph Waldo Emerson. I believe this quote means that contagious happiness spreads through everyone, including yourself. For example, whenever I watch movies with my family, not only do I receive the benefit of watching a new movie, but I also spend time with my family. For one of my friend’s birthday, we volunteered at the Oregon Food Bank, and I have never experienced volunteering at a food bank before knowing I shared my time to care for the other people in my community. If someone volunteers to do special deeds for their community, such as asking a friend or a neighbor if they need help with their groceries, or even volunteering

Realizing that I'm me, not anyone else. It took me a while to realize it, but that makes me who I am today. I will not hold grudges for the people who have hurt me. Now I have moved on in my life. I think that's what makes me work so well with other people is that I know they they

My gift is to be a better person than what I was the day before, learn from my mistakes and use them as a strength.

There are two people that have significantly impacted my life, my parents. From the warmth of a hug to the sternness of a talk they have always been there. The softness of there hands or not so soft hands when I needed a hand to either get off the ground, or to cross the streets. The care in there eyes when I needed a band-aid, or when I was sick, or sad. The goodnight kiss and hug they give me before going to bed. The protection I felt when I was scared or when there was conflict. The taste of a good home cooked meal. Most of all the smell of my mom and dads perfume and cologne, why does it still smell so good!

Your Happiness Affects Everyone Theodore Roosevelt said, “The welfare of each of us is dependent fundamentally on the welfare of all of us.” All of the stories help me form evidence for my claim. My evidence for my claim is in 9/11 when the family members died there family was sad as well, but when the family was sad they made the rest of the united states sad as well. When something bad happens to the world the family gets sad first then the world does because the welfare of all of us is dependent on the welfare of one of us. So try to be in a good mood every day because when you aren't you affect everyone.

My coming of age moment happened at a very young age. I was only five years old when I had my first true moment. Before I was five years old, as far as I can remember, I was a really happy and innocent child. I didn’t really have any cares, as a young child shouldn’t. I was a seemingly normal child with a white picket fence kind of life. Then a couple weeks after I turned five, my mom passed away. It was from that moment that I knew what the world was really like and I knew that my life was never going to be the same. I began to take on guilt and responsibilities that a kid never should’ve had to. I began to become very precautious of everything and I wasn’t able to do the things that a normal child could do out of fear that something may happen

I feel a sense of happiness when I am working and practicing with my team in the gym. My teammates support me and in return I try to be a leader and encourage them in a positive manner. During last school year, I volunteered

Happiness is different for every person that feels it, it comes from the trials and conflicts that we have overcome. The happiest moment is when you come out of a challenge stronger then you were before, and proud of yourself for finding the strength to make it through. In the short story, “The One’s Who Walk Away From Omelas”, written by Ursula K. Le Guin, the people of Omelas are happy because only one person has to suffer. There is a child that is kept locked away in a closet, the citizens know that he/ she is there. They know that it is because of the child’s suffering that they are able to be happy and yes, while they do feel grateful, they do nothing to help the child or each other.

My mind still refuses to accept the bloody event that occured right before me. Thou were present just a minute ago. Father, why have thou been summoned to heaven(57) already? Thou have been a fine gentleman for all of your life. For what reason will someone hold a grudge so deeply for them to go after thy life? Thou have been a brave soldier who fought for Scotland, and a loving person who cares for thy peers. I have always admired thee. Is this what such a kind and honorable person deserves? Is a violent, and young death all that awaits for those that are generous? Is this a sacrilegious(68) world where the good gets punished, and the bad becomes prosperous? Then was it wrong for me to follow thy path? Was I deceived when the church told me

It was one life-changing experience I was seven years old when I became grateful for the things that I had. I remember packing for this big trip my parents were planning for a year now. I precisely recall my mother telling me to go through my closet and pick clothes I did not use to give away, I didn't know why, but I didn't ask, I just did it. As the day got closer I remember my parents had accumulated a great amount of things to give away. I quite didn't understand why they were gathering so many things and for what reason.

As a child, I did not have much faith that I possessed any gifts, and I did not have the confidence to realize that I inherited many gifts from my mom. It was not until I was an adult that I comprehended these gifts played a significant role in my life. Many of my gifts have shaped my adult life. God has allowed me to discover these gifts and help me distribute them to each individual that needs them.

There are many emotions that I have felt throughout my lifetime and there is always an action behind them. Feeling good means, I have done something good either for myself, the people around me, or the world. One small action could make someone’s day, it can make them smile, it can make a difference.

I have mixed emotions about people that have come and have gone in my life…there were those who left because the level of intimacy was based on unbalanced time-sharing and other reasons for not maintaining something that could stick and stay. What bothers me more is when their mannerisms change, they become incognito, and make themselves scarce once they feel that things are not conducive to their train of thought as opposed to seeing how the friendship can be saved for the long term. Yes, people have motives that they tend to hold close to vest and out of your sight. Now comes the time for me to assess those that fit this category. I’ve always felt that when you know which one it is, you will know what to do for that person. You will not
