ReplyDeleteIt is hard to make changes in your life, but after a while it is fun. A lot of people can become scared of change in their lives. While other people have a difficult time with change in habits they have created. Some people; like myself, are fixed on their ways are better than changing them.
They’re so many different kinds of emotions deriving from when there is change in our life. The Most common emotion is being scared of change. For example I have never a place of my own to live in, so I’m really scared about accomplishing it. I know the reason I’m scared is because I don’t what will happen if I do get a place of my own. For instances will I ever forget to pay rent, or how much gas, electrity do I have conserve to save money. Other people I have’ talked about this said they felt the same, but being scared go’s away after getting an apartment of your own.
Habits can be a big reason in why change is hard for people. I particularly like bike riding everywhere, including GED school. Unfortunately, I had to get rid of my bicycle, because it needs new breaks, and don’t want to fix them if I am going to move. It’s hard to adjust to walking to school, when I created a habit of riding my bike everywhere. Eating healthy is another habit I have created. Eat healthy is a good habit, but it’s hard to want to change back and eat something unhealthy occasionally. I know this change will be good for later on in life though. There is a phase my traveling partner would say to people who gave us money was {change is good; change is what makes the world go around.)
The way people want to have it their way is why some people don’t want to make changes in life. For instance, did you know two thirds of Americans smokes cigarettes? That is a lot suborn people in America, that don’t want to change their lives for the better. If you ever pay attention to taxi cabs you’ notice it says $8,000 for a DUI and $12,000 for a taxi cab. Twenty years ago it was only $ 1,000 for a DUI. In saying thing we should to make change in our lives to save us from dying one day.
Even if change is hard, because of being scared, making things a habit, or suborn ways in life, we should try to change for the better. As my traveling partner says {change is good change is what makes the world go around ;} amen.
Mrs. Valerie here is the topic for the Ads essay again.
ReplyDeleteI doing this one over to practice essays where {I} I feel isn't the focus
Here's essay topic paragraph.
Millions of Americans and other people around the world are affected by Ads. They temp, harass, physically, and mentally mess with peoples' minds. As listeners and readers, we should be able to choice a limit on these ads.
Mrs. Valerie, its Kathryn, here are two essays I did today. Sorry you didn't get to see the first one before I started on the second one.
ReplyDeleteEvery person needs to exercise their bodies. People should work out their bodies, for better health, better figure, and to mentally fell better too. All we have is one life to live.
Every person should consider to care about their health. Unfortunately, Americans have taken a an opposite route of a healthy life style. Fast food restaurants becoming famous in the 40's didn't help Americans eat right. It might have helped save money for families, but at what cost. Its not worth it. If you are a parent buying fast a lot, stop making your kids have health problems. This greasy food will lead to hard attacks', if they eat it often.
We all know in the back of our heads we should eat healthier, but we don't anyways. Parents that know constant fast food consumption can lead to later life affects, your not good parents. After years of time, of fast food from childhood to adulthood can make us fat. Not most people want to hire a 400 pound person. Big people can not work in tight environments or use normal chairs.
When we exercise we' re also working out our brains too. By pumping up your blood visuals up, you are working out your whole body. Which in return keeps you more alert all day long. Working out even makes you more of a positive person. Whether, it's being nice to others, or to yourself.
every person should consider to be more attractive. people should exercise, for better health, better figure, and to feel better mentally. Are you exercising your body?
this is my second essay. {Kathryn}
ReplyDeleteThe city is a way better environment for young people like my self to live in. There are way more jobs, colleges and transportation in a city. This is why I like to living in Colorado springs, city.
There are way more jobs in a city, over a small town. This Is, because back in the early 20th century factories were starting to arise in the city. Which in return there just farm jobs anymore in the small towns. All these big factories like {PC}, {Tolgate}, and {Nikey}have made millions of jobs for city people.
Even many different types of colleges are easier to find in the city. For example, I want to go to law school, yet most law schools' are located in the city. The only type of college career you can get in a small town is a beautician. Plus, more young kids of my age are living in the city. I don't want to live around people who aren't consider piers to me. I want to be around a bunch of active young people.
Transportation is a hassle too in a small town. Not many small towns have transportation to the city. If they do, I'm definitely not a morning person to wake up 2 hours early for a ride to school. That why it sucks to live in a small town.
The city is way better location to live in, because there's more jobs. There's more college opportunties in the city. Better transportation to anywhere you go.
What are the advantages and disadvantages of a child-free lifestyle?
ReplyDeleteI rather spend money on other things like myself, and other people I care about. My last reason is going out somewhere is a lot cheaper without kids.
I don't necessarily think I'm being selfish, for wanting to spend more money on myself. I'm just a smarter person, who buys healthy food for my body. why would I spend money on sugared bread? That's just dum; or leaving out vegetables and fruit, so get diseases. Presenting myself in professional clothes for a job can be important too. Plus, I only have to worry about my self when get a job and then lose it later on months down the road.
I like the concept there is extra money to spend on other people than kids I would have. For example, I help out with essentials for my church. Gifts for family members are easier to get or cooking on these special holidays. I have about five-teen family members to give gift to and I don't want to shop at dollar for everyone's present. I rather just be kid free. It gets expensive to go place, instead of staying in house.
plane tickets, train tickets, boat tickets are my number one reason I don't want kids. One person cost two hundred to go across the country. Therefore, its going to be $800.00 for a family of four. Restaurants can be a heavy lump some of money with child. When I go out to eat with a family of four it cost about $50.00. That's too much money to spend on one meal.
I would rather be kid-free. Its easier to spend more money on me and other people. Over all it is way cheaper to be kid free to go somewhere instead of staying at home.this is why I don't want any children.
It can be pretty difficult to make a lot of changes in ones life. but then when you think about it also can be very adventurous and exciting just to make a remarkable change in your life. But if you cant handle the challenges that you will have to face and also the stepping stool that you have to climb in order to make your life a whole lot better then it is nowadays.
ReplyDeletechanging your life can be hard and challenging. But then when you think about my life I want to complete my GED and of course this is going to be hard because I need to study all of the subjects so that I will be able to pass it. And obvisouly its going to take some time and thats going to be very challenging and difficult in some of the parts. But once I pass it, then I will be very proud of myself.
the second reason why i would want change my life is to go into the military and provide and make more money then i actually am now. Also to give my family health insurence because we dont have any health insurence at this point in time. I also think that the military can give me lots of benifits and give me a certain type of job skilll that I will enjoy doing.
My last reason would be that I also want to go to college to be a personal trainer or to become a nutritionist. The main reason why I would want to go to college for this specfic area is because I always wanted to help people with losing weight and eating right. And also know that it would be difficult but I defiantly have the drive and ambition to do those sorts of things.
So for my main conclusion I think that change is hard and difficult but when you think about it if you have the will power to change your life then you can do just about anything to acheive your goals to make your life a whole lot better then it actually is. You need to look on the brighter side of life and think about how you feel about your life at this point in time. Are you happy right now? Do you want to make a change? of course I do, at least.
Its is difficult to make changesin one's life.
ReplyDeleteIt is difficult to make changes in my life for instance i want to learn how to drive so want be asking people to take me where i want to go. Also becuase im scared and there are many people that drive all crazy. And also i would want to get a good gob but since i don't have a education and there are no job's available and if you don't have a GED or a high school diploma it is hard to fine a gob..

Is it hard to change aspects of ones own life? Change can be very hard, whether it's a simple habit or an addiction change is tough, and just by looking at those around me, and through my own personal expirence I can indeed attest to this.
ReplyDeleteMany battle against Drinking, smoking or drug addiction. While it may be easy to start it is far more difficult to stop, and making the decision to quit takes persurvirence and patience.
In my own life I have had to change many things about myself, from being to distracted to pick up a book and learn to read to a lack of desire to progress in my life it has indeed been a challenging road. And while I still try to improve myself it is a daily struggle.
But after overcoming an addiction or even a simple routine that you've aqiored over many years the feeling you get once you do change is like no other. It's a feeling of triumph and joy of which there is no other. But it reqiures constant work to ensure you don't fall back into your old ways, which can feel challenging, but that feeling of triumph grows with every day.
In conclusion I will say yes, yes it is hard to make changes in our lives. We may need to beat an addiction or just change our daily routine, and doing this can be hard or even a bit scary. But it's worth the effort just to say to yourself that you can change.
Oh good already discovered many of my own essay's flaws...
