There is an old proverb that says, basically, if you cannot ask you cannot live. Well, it sounds deeper and more profound than that but I can't think of the exact wording.
Carefully consider the questions below, and do your best to reflect and answer them as honestly as possible.
1. What am I grateful for?
2. Am I honest?
3. What do I need to change about myself?
4. Do I know what my talents are and do I utilize those talents?
5. When I help someone, do I think, "what's in it for me?"
Again, answer honestly--no one will judge you, especially me. In fact, I will answer them too.

What I am most grateful for is Jesus Christ sacrificing his life for our sins. If he hadn't died for our sins, then we would be doomed from the start of our lives. God can forgive anyone who repents and asks for forgiveness because our sins were lifted from our spirits when Jesus died on the cross and was resurrected. I think all people lie in some way at some point in their life. Whether it's an insignificant lie or more serious like murdering someone. I have lied at some point in my life, but overall I can consider myself an honest person. More importantly, I'm honest to myself. I can't explain exactly what that interprets but I do know that I am true to myself and I don't live thinking I'm one thing when actually I'm someone else. I don't try to be other people because I am unique without trying. I feel that how I am now as a person is acceptable in my eyes. I wouldn't alter my life or change because then I wouldn't be me. I'm satisfied with who I am, but if i had to choose I would take away my asthma. It's not a trait but a health problem that i have to live with and i would rid myself of that problem. I'm not sure exactly what a talent would be. Whether it's riding a unicycle or lifting five hundred pounds over my head. I honestly don't have any talents really, like playing an instrument or whatever else. If I had to say, I have a talent of pushing myself and self determination. I tend not to be down on myself even after a loss or unfortune because i believe in myself. When i help somebody with whatever it may be, I just help without reward. When help is needed with immediate action you're not thinking of how you can benefit, you just help because it's our nature to help other human beings.
ReplyDeleteHonestly I am grateful for the difficulties that get thrown at me and that's because I learn from them. They helped me grow, mature, and just simply understand things better. I am honest but only to people that I care about, that I know are honest to me. If I can't believe them then I don't find a point to me telling them the truth. What I think I need to change about myself is maybe my attitude. I can sometimes have a really bad attitude that comes off really bad to other people. And of course i do feel bad about it after then thats when i want to take it back. That's what makes me want to change my attitude. I do know what my talents are because my talent is in expressing myself. I can express myself through poetry or drawing becaus ei'm very good at it and it make me feel relaxed. It's any easy way for me to show people who I am and to me that is my talent. Now when I help people i never think to myself if I get something out of it because I honestly like helping people because I do. I like the fact that i know that i was able to help someone or make a difference when i can. That honestly how I am.
ReplyDeleteI believe, I am most grateful for my family and friends, and the way God has blessed me. I have no illnesses, no diseases, and no disorders, and for the most part, I am happy with how God made me. I am also grateful for the people God has surrounded me with. He has thrown some curve balls, and tested me with negative influences, but in the end, he has helped me judge who stays and who goes. I have been very blessed to have been born into a great family, one that is always there for me, and one that ultimately has the best for me at heart. Many people are born into families that are tied up in drugs, crimes or parents who just plain don’t care and luckily I have a family that isn’t like that, they are very honest, as am I. I feel I am very honest, to a point. I choose my words wisely and I am guilty of always thinking about what I say, before I say it. Sometimes I may sugar coat things, and turn a negative into a positive, but I am still honest. Sometimes, if it is needed, I am brutally honest, and especially in situations where the message needs to be drilled into ones’ head, I am tough with my tough love. I would never lie to someone and tell them something looks nice if it doesn’t, I would never tell someone they did a good job if they didn’t, and I wouldn’t lie just to make people like me. I’m a bitch, plain and simple, all girls are in some way, shape, or form. Deny it all you want but as a girl you KNOW you are a bitch, whether it’s all the time, half the time, or occasionally. As a girl, we ALL have that capability. That is one thing I need to change about myself, among many other things. I know I am guilty of being a super bitch at times, not all the time, but when I am it can be pretty drastic. I need to learn how to control my temper, and be nicer to people who have good intentions. I also need to change how I view myself as a whole. I have little to no self confidence and it really effects how I live my everyday life. I give up a lot of possible opportunities and I count myself out of things before I really give myself a chance. I could go on about how I want to change my body, or my height, or my hands, or my feet, but that’s too cosmetic for me. I would just like to change how I look at and love myself; that’ll do me real good. Not to count out that I do love what I am capable of. I am a very good singer, dancer, writer and a somewhat good artist. I am also a very nice, friendly person, I’m good around kids, and I have a good head on my shoulders. I also have one of the world’s biggest hearts beating in my chest. I utilize my talents most of the time, but due to my lack of self confidence, I have never been able to sing in front of people, though I feel in my heart that is something I am absolutely great at. Something I use all the time is my huge heart. I always have a helping hand, a shoulder for someone to cry on, and an ear to listen. When I help someone, I think of what the possible outcomes are, but I never go into a situation looking for self benefits. When I help others I do it because I know it is right, and I know that I would want someone to do the same for me if I were ever in the same situation. I don’t ever think of how my help will benefit me, I think about that person, and that person only. We need more do-gooders in this world, ones who aren’t looking for something that will benefit them; we need genuine-hearted people who truly want to help, and that is what I am.
ReplyDeleteThe main thing im greatful for is family because at the end of the day they are the ones who are there when you need them. I learned that friends come and go but family is the only thing that I can truthfully say is a constant in my life. I am grateful that I was blessed with a mother and brother that I can count on when the time is nessary, there is nothing I can think of that I would value more than my family. I thank god every day for the two great people that he put around me. I think its funny that the next question is if I am honest. I would love to say that I am, but I prove myself wrong time and time again. For example yesterday my mom came in the family room and asked who cleaned the pot that was in the sink and my brother didn’t reply so I figured why not take credit for it, so I told my mom that I was the one who cleaned the pot and later found out that the pot was still in the sink and now I had to clean it because I lied to her. I know it’s a bad thing to lie but ussually the truth is harder to say and a lie is always easier for someone to accept, I try not to lie to often but I cant say that im such a honest person and I never lie because I do, but for the most part I like to stick to the truth unless lying would get me anything positive in the interaction then I would feel obligated to lie in that situation. If there was one thing I would change about my self I guess I would have to say i wish I would have more motivation because ussually when I put a goal infront of my self I do what is nessary in order to achieve that goal but there hasn’t been anything in while that I actually cared about and strived to achieve so I would have to say that I would apreciate more motivation to do something, that would make a postive impact on my live. As for talents I consider my self talented at rapping but I don’t belive that I utilize my talent to the full potential that I could because lately I havent been composing any new music or recording my old music so I would have to say that I havent been utilizeing my talent to the extent that I could. As for when I help someone, it all depends on the circumstances. If its for someone I don’t know and they need help then yes I take into account whats in it for me because im not trying to waste my time helping someone that I don’t even know if there is not a repayment in my favor. Then agian if someone close to me that I care about need help then I have no trouble helping them out even if there is nothing in it for me.
ReplyDeleteI am greatfull for just being here. Being alive In the world we have today is just so much to be greatful for. But i am expecially greatful to have my friends and family here with me at all times when i need them or just to have them to talk to. I do think i am honest i mean why do i have to lie i do dont like liers to begin with so why would i be one. I dont think there is a point to lieing. It just gets you into more trouble and whewn your lieing and swear your not it gets you into so much more problems and i dont like problems. I hate drama and everything else that has to do with lieing and causeing problems. I think what i really need to change aout my self is that i wait for the last minute to do things and then i rush to get them done. I really dont like this about myself because its not the work that i can really do. When i dont wait to do things i can do the most amazing work even and this is how all my work should be and i know it. Its just the point to sitting fown around my busy schudal and work to do it so that its the best that it can be. I do relize that i have alot of tallents but i dont put my head to them. I dont know why i dont keep going woth them. It just seems after a while of doing it i get boarded and i dont feel like doing it anymore. I am an amazing woods builder and i really hard playing Softball player if i would have played this year for Oakcrest Softball i know i could have had an amazing year this year. But i did't My dad told me work was more important so i did not paly my last year of high school... LAST but not least when i help someone i dont think about whats in it for me i do it out of the kindness of my heart because i love to help people. Its the point that just because your helping someone later on down the road somewere you yourself will need help and someone just like me or other peiple will be there. Not to think whats in it for helping you but just to help you get back on the right road
ReplyDeleteThe thing that I am most grateful for is my family. My family to me is great. They are always there for me and help me threw whatever no matter what. I have to thank God for blessing me with such an amazing family that gives me anything I need when I need it the most. I’m not trying to say I am spoiled because I am far from it but if I want or need something important my family is there for me no matter what. I like to think I’m an honest person. Like every human being I have lied before and sometimes it is for serious reasons but I like to tell the truth most of the time because it makes me feel a lot better about things and usually when you tell the truth good things come from it, but in the end I do think I could be a little bit more honest. I think the one thing I have to change about myself is how jealous I get. I always end up getting jealous about little stupid things that shouldn’t even matter which leads me to get into trouble weather it’s with my girl friend, or friends or anything really. I really don’t know what my talents are. I am pretty good with computers and I like to use that in my advantage by fixing my own computer or putting games on it, but other than that I really don’t think I have any talents like that as far as being really fast or being great in one cretin sport. When I do help someone I usually don’t think what’s in it for me unless it’s something very severe. I like helping people because it makes me feel better about myself and I like when people help me with something that I need.
ReplyDeleteMe, I am most grateful for the little things. I like to have fun with stupid thing like just going outside and doing something. I am most grateful for my dad to, how strong he’s been with this whole single parenting for me and my two little sisters. You couldn’t ask for a better father if he gives you everything you want including giving your little sibling everything they want. I am glad that he is my dad and to me, there is not one other dad out there that could come close to a great father like mine. I would say that I am very honest, I don’t lie nor do I need to. I’m not afraid of telling the truth when it comes to me doing something wrong or me just standing up for me. I won’t ever lie so no one needs to worry about me lying because I don’t care who you are, you don’t scare me and you won’t catch me in anything. One thing I do need to change about myself is that I need to trust people more. I grew up with my parents always fighting and my mom cheating on my dad multiple times. It made it hard for me to be able to trust anyone because you just don’t want it to happen to you and it’s been affecting my life. I can trust my girlfriend more than anything but I just keep thinking about my parents and it just makes me double think and that is the wrong thing to do. Trust is a hard thing to me and I need to change that as fast as I can. My best talent is playing football which I accomplished very well this year. I’ve been doing it for about 13 years so technically it’s been my whole life. I love football and I get offended if someone tries to insult my playing and if I’m good or not because I guarantee the person that is saying it to me is no where even close to as good as me. Yes I am very cocky with it but I’m more confident than anything just because if I wasn’t so good, then I would have gave it up and stopped. There comes a time when I am helping someone that I think, “well if I’m helping you out, what do I get in return.” I usually don’t but when it comes to taking my whole day and it’s a pain it the ass, then yes I would like to be working or helping you out for something. It’s like if I’m giving up my time because you need help I don’t care but at least throw me something. It really only gets that way if it’s a constant keep asking me kind of thing. I usually am a kind guy and don’t like to be a jerk face and ask so I wouldn’t worry about me being a jerk and saying something like that because I like to help. Hey you asked for honesty, and I told you my opinion.
ReplyDeleteUsually when I do something I do it for myself and to benifit myself, but i'm always willing to give out a hand to someone that is in need of it. I am most greatful for my mother because without without her I'd be wreck. She motivates me to be a stronger person and to stay strong with my head help up high. I can be honest but honesty is so difficult to perform when your in a bad situation. I can be honest to people but you don't want honesty from me because, they are failry harsh towards people, then they take it the wrong way. I'm mmost deffinatley not honest to myself the majority of the time. I know what's right and wrong for me but I always decide to take the wrong. What I need to change about myself is my attitude towards situations that may seem difficult. I get frustrated really quick and then refuse to keep trying, and that in life won't help me at all specially not in the real world. I also need to learn how to ask for help when I need it because I refuse to listen to anyone that has advice. My talents are to draw, but I don't use it to my advantage, because I can use drawing to express my feelings. nlast but not least, when I help someone I don't do it to get something out of it. I do it because I know the feeling of not being able to talk to people about my problems and in the end feeling aloine. I want to prevent people from feeling that way. I love to listen and give advice. In the we both win i feel good about myself and the person I help may feel relieved that they gopt everything of their chest. Funny thing is I give good advice, but I never follow my own. With that said, selfishness is never the way to go.
ReplyDeleteWhat I am grateful for is more then just existing, it is living freely. Following my own way and just experiencing what there is to experience. I ask myself if what im doing is right and go from their. Also i am grateful for having morals. Some people who grow up to have no morals become zombies to their wants. Having a concience may get in the way at times but using it can help your life and existence to be less stressful.
ReplyDeleteSome people dont have honesty because they dont believe in it. I use honesty because all good things if they are ment for me will come. There is no point in lying to get what you want from someone. In the end the hardship reflects back onto you and you feel the hurt. People who lie believe those lies and eventually lose sight of reality.
About myself I would like to be more proffesional like a business person. Trying to get taken seriously by a employer or even my own friends or family requires me to earn respect. Doing nice things can gain it but if I am not doing right by myself i wll get caught in the tides of life. Swaying back and forth never moving forwerds. Its time to start thinkning about the life ahead of me and who i want to be.
Basically I would like to have some idea of what or who i want to be and how i get there.
My talents are I have courage and believe i can do anything. All that is required of me is to learn something. I guess my talents are that im adaptable to do whatever i want or is required of me. Thats not to say im sure there are things i cant do like fly and walk on water but it is to say any plausable action i can do. Also depending on my knowledge of it i am pretty good with machines.
When I help someone i just think of it as returning the favor. For some crazy reason or coincidence when ever i am in trouble or need help that i cannot by myself handle someone or something is always there to help me. So whenever anyone asks for help i will jump at the occation where someone else might need me. You see i like to think that karma is a big circle and doing good now will only bring good later. So to refrain from as much bad as i myself would create from happening I just try my best not to. Though i am sure some how somewhere i still am not the nicest person in the world. You can talk to everybody some of the time but you cannot talk to everybody all of the time.
When i think about quotes I always see them as a comfort. If they dont already apply to my thinking now I then use them to enhance my being. By being a better person I can be proud of myself and not feel bad about it.
THE ONE THING THAT IAM GRATEFUL FOR IS MY MOM THE FACT THAT SHE BROUGHT ME INTO THIS WORLD AND RAISED INTO THE PERSON THAT I AM TODAY IF IT WASN’T FOR I DON’T KNOW WHAT I WOULD DO SHE GIVES ME THE BEST ADVICE ,I THINK THAT I WOULD CONSIDER MYSELF AN HONEST PERSON BECAUSE I HAVE REALIZED OVER THE YEARS THERE IS REALLY KNOW SENSE IN LYING BECAUSE IT GETS YOU KNOW WHERE AND YOU WILL JUST GET INTO BAD THINGS BECAUSE I KNOWHEN I DID LIE I ALAWAYS FELT BAD ABOUT SO I STOPPED.ONE THING THAT I NEED TO CHANGE ABOUT MYSELF IS THAT I NEED NOT BE SO NEGATIVE ALL OF THE TIME AND BE POSITIVE BECAUSE I ALAWAYS SAY THAT I AM NOT GOOD AT SOMETHING AND THEN WHEN I DO IT I AM .TO TELL YOU THE TRUTH I REALLY DON’T KNOW WHAT MY TALENTS AND I WOULNDNT EVEN KNOW WHAT THEY WERE AND I DID I WOULD USE THEM. WHEN I HELP SOMEONE I AM ALAWAYS HELPING THE PERSON FOR THEN MOT FOR ME I NEVER WANT ANYTHING OUT OF HEIPING SOMEONE BECAUSE THAT IS THE RIGHT THING TO DO IS TO HELP SOMEONE WITH NOTHING IN RETURN THAT’S HOW I WAS RAISED.

ReplyDeleteIm grateful for my family and friends, they have always been there for me through the good and bad times i've had.Wether it be a lecture, confort,or praise im grateful i have them because i know they only are trying to help me.
For honesty, i do think im a lot more honest from when i was younger.When i was younger honesty was really not part of my vocab. Exspecially when i would get in trouble i try to lie and blame it on one of my siblings so not to get punished. But now that im older i think im a lot more honest(mostly because all my siblings moved out)than what i used to be.
I do know about my talents like drawing, horseback riding, or writing storys. I do utilize those talents by taking diffrent classes, in school i have an art class which is getting me ready for college when i go for animation.Also, i go to a creative writing class for poems and short storys, but i dont know if im going to expand on that or not. For horseback ridding i took lessons and play in game shows.
When i help someone i do not think of whats init for me, i usally do it because its the right thing to do and i would hope that person wold do it for me if i was in their place.
I am grateful for my family, they are always there for me no matter what happens or what I do wrong. I know a lot of people do not have families who would do anything for them and I do. I am especially grateful for my mom and dad they do everything for me, my mom is like one of my best friends and I'm a daddy's girl so my dad does everything for me. No matter what happens in life I know my parents will always be by my side. I try to be as honest as I can I mean everyone lies sometimes.. Sometimes I feel like I have to lie to make people feel better because the truth would really hurt them, but I try to be as honest as I can. If I could change anything about myself it would be my "I don't care attitude" When I get mad I don't care what I say or do. If I could change one thing it would definitely be that I would be able to control my temper. I am honestly not sure of what my talents are exactly, I mean I am talented at riding horses and stuff like that but I think that about it. When I am helping someone out I try not to think of myself, sometimes I think what if I was in that situation I would want someone to help me. If you don't treat people the way you ant to be treated then you will most likely be treated badly by them. I always try to be a good person but I'm not perfect.
ReplyDeleteI believe what im grateful for family and everything it entails. I believe im honest when it comes most things. When it comes down to it with friends, family, and associates I haven’t told them anything but the truth. I need to change the fact that im called cold-hearted by family and friends or very mean by many others. I have to become more understanding certain problems that friends have. I also should change the fact that I get careless to what some friends. I would say I do know what my talent is art. Next I think utilize some of my talent but since I don’t how to do certain techniques in drawings. So I believe my talent in art but I am still a neophyte in the art world. That’s why I am going to college for art to become better in art. That way I can better in all the techniques in art that I am weak in. Well when I help people I help them to make them feel better that’s the only thing that I would want to do. There nothing in it for me just the satisfaction of knowing that I make he/she feel better or give a better solution. The only thing anyone should get from helping people is a smile.
ReplyDeletei am grateful for everyone in my life that has ever been their for me. The people in my life are in my life for a reason. I am grateful for them because i know that no matter what they are the ones that will always be there in the end and wont turn their back and walk away from me. Everyone has that special person or persons that have been their for them therefore they are grateful for them as well whether its a parent, aunt/uncle, boyfriend,friend or anything of that matter. If they don't care about me or they aren't as real as they make out to be then they wouldn't be in my life nor will i be grateful for them. not to sound harsh but how can you be grateful for someone that doesn't do anything. People will walk in and out of your life and more opportunities to be grateful for others as well. one i do want to say is my mom who i am especially grateful for because she did whatever it took to keep me and my brother safe when we were young.
ReplyDeleteI can say i am an honest person, if it comes down to something serious i tell the truth but if its for my parent i will say otherwise because of-coarse i don't want to get introuble so I'm better of trying to lie. I don't like it when people lie to me so i wont do it to them. I like when people are honest to me and Ive me their trust rather than lying and loosing their trust completely. i wouldn't want to lose someone even though telling the truth my cause a friendship or relationship but i don't want to lie just so i can keep them in my life. no matter what i always tell the truth whether in the end it was a bad decision or a good decision because i don't want to base my life on lies, i want to live it with the truth whether it has consequences or not. you never know if by just being honest it will take a different turn than what you expected. lying just makes things worse even though you think you can get away with what your lying because it might come back and bit you in the butt.
What i need to change about myself is that i need to learn to calm down more with my attitude. for example if Tommy gets me mad then i would get in a really bad mood and i just keep grudges so i get more mad than i should but i wouldn't say that's the kind of person i am its just experiences that i have had or things that have happened to me that made me the way i am. My father who i have no clue where he is nor do i care, used to abuse my mom, completely destroy the house and just had bad anger problems. which is where i been told my anger comes from. i wasn't how i was before and i want to change that because its not fair to anyone especially Tommy that i take my anger out on them more than should. i can hold grudges for a very long time and i am not the kind to apologize unless its my fault or i just don't care.
i dont utilize my talents. there are many things that i am good at but i never took it a step further as i should. whether it school, sports, or any activities.
i dont mind at all helping people. anyone that comes to me i am more glad to talk to them and help them out because that is just the kind of person i am. i am not like other people who just dont care or give lousy advice. i like to give advice to the point when they actually listen and realize things. although what i noticed is that when i need someone or go to someone they dont help at all, especially if i have helped them in their many situations that they come to me for i help them but when it gets to me i dont get the same back. i dont go to anyone for advice i handle it on my own and that's how it has been or a very long time. But i am glad to have my boyfriend by my side because i know he listens to me as i do for him.
I am grateful for my brother Rodney, my girlfriend Jasmine, and my family. I know that no matter what they will always be there for me. Rodney is can see somethings wrong and he will try and help me out with whatever it is, With jasmine i know i can count on her for anything because no matter what i can go to her no matter what the situation is. She is someone that understands me more than anyone and doesn't judge. I am grateful for my family because they give me things i need and take care of me when i need help with something. Yes i am a honest person, i have change into a different person in the last year. I know that if i want things to go right i don't do them by lying. I don't find that lying gets you anywhere,if i am being honest i want people to be honest back. I think that if your going to do something you should own up to it not lie about it. I have noticed from my past that lying does not help with anything it makes it worse. Something that i would want to change about myself is that i could watch what i say more often. sometimes i say things without noticing what I'm really saying and it sounds different than what i was actually trying to say. Also i pretty much say things sometimes without thinking or because i am mad and i say things that i don't mean. Yes i do know my talents and i do utilize them. If i know that i am good at something I do something about it for example i am good at soccer so i play for the school and i want to play it at college as well. If i want to try something new i do like i did with wrestling and i enjoyed doing the sport while i had the chance. If someone comes to me for advice i do help them. I'm not just going to tell them no, if its something i can help with then i have no problem doing it. I don't expect anything back really because i don't go to people for advice unless its like my brother or my girlfriend.
ReplyDeleteI am greatful for being able to make choices. I can chose whether or not I want to go to school, get a job, buy a car, go on vacation, join the army it doesnt matter because there are so many things I am able to chose from and I have the freedom to chose to do what makes me happy in life. I couldnt imagine being bossed around and told what i am suppose to do when I know waht I want. As for honesty, i am absolutly not 100% honest if I was I would be a saint, and a saint I am not. Yes, sometimes there are situations where it is appropriate to lie, but im not gonna lie I do lie when its not always appropriate. Im not perfect, never will be, dont even think i'd want to be but no one is. As for something I would change about myself its probably how I just let people push me around and let things roll off my shoulders. Sometimes I just want to knock some peoples blocks off but for some reason I let it go. Its not that im a wuss but i actually dont know what it is i've just always been like that. My talents are are probably minipulation, and thinking how things work such as cars and technology but also people and how they think and react. I think I am the type of person that could convince a muslem not to pray to alahlah or whatever because of some stupid reason I thought. And thats where the thinking how things work come in because you need to think of every scenerio to minipulate someone. And last, when i help someone Im going to be HONEST about 80% of the time i think how i will gain from it, its a tough world and you gotta be the smartest to get trough life successfully. There are times where you are thinking about someone else but you gotta be able to descide when certain situations will benefit you or them in the end.
ReplyDeleteI am grateful for my family, even though some of them do unforgivable things; we are always there for each other. It is only my dad’s side of the family though; my mom’s family is distant and holds grudges. Without my family, I do not know where I would be. Whenever something upsetting and awful happens, we are there together to pick up the pieces. I am closer and more open with my cousins than I am with my own sister; I swear she is more like my mom than anyone else is. Family gatherings are always interesting, they either have a lot of drama that will blow over within a few days or they are insanely fun; either way I go home with a headache. No matter what happens I will love my crazy family, we understand each other for the most part.
ReplyDeleteAm I honest? I do believe so. To me honesty is the best policy and it’s what relationships and friendships build off of. If you cannot be honest then you can’t really connect to anyone. I am honest most of the time, the only times that I have not been honest is to my family just so I would not get in trouble. If someone asks me a question I answer honestly, some say my answers are rude but I just speak my mind. If I have an opinion and if they ask for it I’m going to let it out. I don’t see the point of lying to someone, lying digs you a deep hole that is hard to get out of and it is a fake thing to do. It is like you’re are living in a fantasy world full of lies and when you know the truth it all crashes down, but being honest from the start is being real. That is why I am honest, I can’t stand being lied to so why should I put someone else through that.
There is one thing that I need to change about myself and that is to become a more independent person. I usually feel awkward when asking an authority figure for something and I tend to avoid doing things all by myself. I am trying to speak up more because when I get out to the real world I need to be able to do things myself, I can’t have a person walk me through the steps. Being an adult to me means being able to make your own decisions and live with the results of them. If I can’t do that then I don’t consider myself an adult.
My talents, my talents, I know what they are and I am sure I utilize them. I think that I am a talented artist and I use art to express any emotion I am feeling and to calm myself down when I am panicking and alone. Just the other night I felt panicked and trapped by myself so I drew and afterwards I felt a lot better. I am also a talented photographer and fall in love with almost every photo I take. Capturing the beauty of nature just makes my heart soar and I know that is what I want to do with my life.
Whenever I help someone I never think, “What’s in it for me?” I help a person because they need help; I don’t expect any reward besides seeing their problem getting resolved and them relieved of any stress it caused them. Even when they say “thank you for helping me” I say it was no problem because honestly it wasn’t, everyone deserves a helping hand once in awhile. People should be there for each other and not expect some great reward, knowing that you helped someone should be a good enough reward. Trying to get something out of a person for helping them isn’t helping at all, you are just using them. My rule is” how would you feel if that happened to you”, with that in mind I am kind and helpful because I know I would want someone to be that way towards me.
I am grateful to be living. It was at point in time in my life where I didn’t think I would make it to the age 18. I am so serious I don’t know if I were scared of the age or I really thought I wouldn’t make it. Well I am that age now and I hope to continue to see many more years in my lifetime. I truly am grateful for being alive.
ReplyDeleteI would consider myself a honest person. Even when I know the truth might hurt someone I will tell them the truth because I hate the feeling of being lied to. So if I do not like being lied to I wouldn’t lie to anyone else. It just isn’t fair to do that. I’m also honest because I want people to trust me. I want to be able to be trusted. I don’t want people to second guess me. If I had to change one thing about myself it would definitely be my lazyness. I am always settling for much less than what I deserve. I don’t like to work hard and I know its going to bite me in the behind one day. I wish I could stop being so lazy because I know my potential. Its just very tough to break old bad habits. I know my talents and I do noy use them to the best of my ability. I am a very bright young man and a very good basketball player. Me not utilizing my talents to the best of my ability is the reason I am not a phenomenal student and a great basketball player. When I help someone its always for the reason if I was in their position I would want someone to help me.
I am grateful for my son , my mother , my father , and my sisters I depend on all of the except my UNTIL he gets older. I know no matter if I am wrong or right they are the ones by my side 100%. My son is a miracle I would NEVER call him a mistake, I mean I didn’t plan it but I wouldn’t call him a mistake only a blessing, miracle, or life changer! My mother she truly became my best friend, she is always there when I am cry she likes to lay my head on her lap and rub my head while im crying when im going through baby daddy drama she is always there listening even though she doesn’t want to she is my best friend that I can call on with im down or in trouble and she will come running. My dad omg he is my everything besides god and my son he was there from birth until now, my mom was to but she went away for a little while I stayed with my dad until she came back. He might have been a little bit over protective but he was always there. He never wanted me dating but when I did this is how the conversation went…me: hey dad I want you to meet my boyfriend, dad: hey girl your 12 and he is not your boyfriend he is your FRIEND lol, me: okay dad whatever you say! He would tell me if your first love break your heart just know I would never break it. My sister they urk my soul all the time but they are always there for me. When one argue shoot we ALL argue it’s only three of us but when there is a problem we stick together no matter what it takes. My family might argue a lot but I would trade them for the word. I am grateful to have a family like mines. Everyone lies once in awhile so no I have to say im not always honest but most of the time I am. I don’t lie about little stuff only stuff that might hurt someone’s feelings or I just need to lie to my parents to get out the house on a weekend. I honestly (now I want to be honest) lol need to change attitude after someone gets me mad. When someone pisses me off I block everyone out & just don’t talk. I need to start talking and speaking my mind because one day im going to have to much built in me and I might explode on the wrong person. My talent is dancing and singing, and no I don’t utilize those talents because at this time in life when a child you begin to be very focused on your goals in life. When I help someone out I am doing it because it’s from the heart but while im doing it I think doing for others will bring happiness in your soul and put a smile on your face. Sometimes when I am helping one of my friends out I think if I was in there shoes they will do it for me or if I do this then when im in need she/he will be there for me to.
ReplyDeleteSome things that I’m grateful for are the home and life style I’ve been brought up in. I know that I would be like any other kid who thinks that we deserve everything in life, if it wasn’t for my dad. I have never been given anything, but I have worked for all my important items. I’ve paid for my car, my car insurance, my monthly cell phone bills, my drum set, and who knows what else. Most kids would hate their parents if they had to do this, but instead I’m really glad, because I’m ten times more prepared in life then them. I know that I’m not going to screw up economically like many of my friends have because I already understand what its like. I’ll never just say screw it, because I know that it’s the same thing as saying screw me. As for honesty, well this depends on a lot of things. I would defiantly like to be more honest then I am now. Sometimes it seems like it’s easier to just tell a little lie, rather then to get into a huge fight with my parents about something dumb. If I said I’m going over my girls house at like 8, that probably wouldn’t fly because they want me in at 9 usually on week days. So if I said I stopped at my friend Shanes and got gas on the way home, then that avoids the inevitable 10 minute argument for when I get home. Yeah its wrong but everything is so close to ending that I don’t have that much time to worry about it. Things that I need to change are my school work ethics and my patience. I need to really not slack off in college, and I know I need to be smoother around my family when they aggravate me. As for my talents, I do try to utilize most of them. I have a natural ability to be good at things, like tennis. I’ve only played for 2 years and im number 1 hear and im trying to hold up against the best kids in the state. I get my butt kicked a lot but its whatever. I really do to many things to get really good at them. I probably should quite a few of my activities but I can never seem to get around to it. When I help someone, I usually don’t think whats in it for me. I really do enjoy seeing other people happy, and it makes me happy inurn. So im happy making others happy if that makes sense.
ReplyDeleteI am truly grateful to have the amazing parents that I have. I of course would have been nowhere that I am today if it wasn’t for them. They give me all my strengths and the motivation I need to move on. I wouldn’t have been able to do anything if it wasn’t for them. I couldn’t have wished for any better parents then them, they are the best. And when they grow old and I’m all grown up, I’m going to take care of them. I just love them with every ounce of my heart and soul. I can say I am a pretty honest person. But the truth is that everyone lies sometime in their lives. So I don’t want to lie and say that I’m completely honest about everything. But I rarely do lie. I do have some things I would really like to change about myself. For one I’m not motivated enough with certain things, mainly with school. So sometimes I will get a bit lazy because it’s either too hard or I have no interest in it at all. So it’s hard for me to get motivated. Also of course I would really love to lose some weight. My goal is back under 200 before school ends. I know all my talents that I have. My thing is that I am very mechanically inclined, and I’m great at fixing things. It just comes natural to me, ever since I was really little. I of course utilize my talents and I hope to use it in my future career. For me, helping someone is just a reaction. All I do is help people, no matter what way it is. Whether it’s helping a women carry her groceries to her car or help somebody fix something. I never think of myself and what I can get out of it. I am not selfish at all and I always give, not take. I just love helping people, a smile is my satisfaction, and if not even that, then at least I tried. I have friends with certain issues, such as financial problems and/or a disability, or whatever. I don’t mind spending a little money on a friend, or help/carry my disabled friend up the stairs. I do it because I have a big heart, too big for just me. I’m just truly a loving, caring guy, and all of my friends would tell you the same.
ReplyDeleteI am grateful for my family, friends and God. My mom and dad want the best for me and do the best they can to provide for me. I am well aware that my family does not have much money at all so I am grateful for the little things they gave me and thats also why Im not nor will ever be spoiled. I may sometimes be miserable living with their crazy strictness but I know they love me and theres way too many kids that dont have parents or good parents to give them love. My big brother is one of the reasons I smile in life. Im very grateful that I have a brother that cares about me and gives me advice. He is also always willing to help as much as he can. Theres soo much I can say about my big brother but all I know is that Im lucky to have him in my life. Im grateful for the few real friends I have. Without friends there would be no joy in life. I enjoy having people outside of family that care about me. I dont know what I would if I didnt have anyone to talk to when I have a botheration. I believe I am honest. Im grateful for God because he created everything that exists in life. He gave us his son Jesus who gave his life for us. Because of God and Jesus we are alive today and I am grateful to be able to be alive and without any serious medical conditions. I do know I am not always honest. Ive lied to my parents before by bring home my boyfriend when no one was home and telling them I have no homework when I did or telling them I was going to be alone but really was meeting up with my boyfriend. My lies vary from small to big. But in my opinion, in my case, I had to lie to be able to do what had to do. I am a honest person though dont get me wrong. Somethings I need to change in myself is my ''whatever'' attitude. For example in school if I get D its good enough for me. Actually getting an F doesnt bother me too much. But because of that Im in danger of not graduating. I know in life to really succeed I need to do my absolute best and even more and not just barely getting by like Ive done all of high school. Im pretty sure theres other things I need to change about myself. As far as talents go I do not have any significant talents. Yes I am in choir and in dance but do not think for a second that I can actually sing. But dancing I can sort of dance but its not a talent. One thing I do pretty well is spell. Im a good speller but thats all that comes to mind and thats not even a real talent so no I dont have any recognizable talents. Im tiny but I have a big heart. I like being able to help someone. I never think ''whats in it for me''. When I help a friend, family or just anybody I do it because I dont mind doing so. Honestly knowing I helped someone is enough reward for me. I dont know why but I just never expect anything in return. I guess Im just blessed a good person.
ReplyDeletewhat am i grateful for? im grateful for life and being healthy and for the opportunities i have been given to get where i am today. I have my health, i have a family, friends and im on my way to start my life after a month left of highschool. Not many people get all of that. I do complain but i shouldnt because i am very lucky for the things i have...i have a great job that i love and a car even though it sucks sometimes!! I have a good future planned ahead of me. Am i honest..yes most of the time. With my close friends i am honest becase i want them to be completely honest when they talk to me or i ask them something important. Family im brutally honest and sometimes i feel bad for what i say...but i want them to know what i think. One thing that i need to change about my self, is worrying about other people more then i worry about myself. that is how i stress myself out is because i try and make everyone else happy before i work on what i want. Thats not a bad thing but its not always a good thing because in this life all you have is yourself. I wish i knew what my talents were, i mean im good at sports but i personally dont think i have a talent that i can pin point. Ive always been told that im a good listener and advice giver but nothing like a "talent". when someone asks me for a favor yes i do think about whats in if for me but whether i am benefited in the end or not doesnt affect my choice of helping that person out or not. it depends on if i can or can not do that favor plain and simple.
ReplyDeleteI haven't been alive that long and I understand that I should be thankful for everything that I've been given. I'm grateful for the little things mainly. I try to be as honest as I can be. Sometimes I get caught up in lies but I try for the truth. I feel like I need to change my personality and my goals. My whole balance as a person has been off lately because my head hasn't been in the right place. I will admit that I have a gift with being able to talk to others and help them with problems. I'm not that great of a guy because I am not as thoughtful or helpful as I should be. When I actually do help others I don't care about what I will get in return, I just want the person I helped to pass it on and help others so everyone can be more considerate.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I'm going on a nature adventure on the appalachain trail or w.e so I won't see you for the rest of the week ill miss you :/
what i am grateful for is my family. Not just my mom and dad but my whole family. just because i know every single one of the them has my best interest at heart. they will also do anything for, because if i need it and they got i got it. most families are not close but my family is very close. Well i can say i am honest about 55% of time. i mean i don't lie all the time but i don’t tell the full truth either. i don’t i know anybody that tell the truth 100% of time. Now the thing i would like to change about myself is, my temper. Because ever since i was little i have had a bad temper. i never knew how to control it, an it has gotten me into a lot of trouble. their for i would want to change it so it wont effect me later in life. i think my talents is i am a leader and most people don’t know how to lead. i also think i have the talent to be very business minded, and can think on my feet. at times i do utilize my talents, but if i use them to their full extent it would take me very far in life. it depends on who the person is and what i do to do to help. because at times i would think about what i am get out of it. but than i wont, like i would never think about that when doing something for my family.
ReplyDeletei am grateful for my family because if it wasnt for them i dont know what i will do sometimes. They show alot of love and they always have my back in any situation. They always cheer me up when im down. Not everyone has family in their lifes thats why im grateful for having the family i have. Family over everything. I also am grateful for waking up and seeing another day and i thank god for that. So if jesus never died for our sins none of us would be here so i am grateful for that. I think i am a pretty honest person. I keep it real with people and say whats on my mind. Even when I know the truth might hurt someone I will tell them the truth because I hate the feeling of being lied to. So if I do not like being lied to I wouldn’t lie to anyone else.I want people to trust me. I want to be able to be trusted. I don’t want people to second guess me. I just think if i really want to go to school i have to change my school habits and get my work done on time. I think thats my biggest problem. I could be a very lazy person and that is not going to put me far in life. It mean im going to settle for less and i really need to change that. As of right now i can not see my talents. I dont know if i have one and im just not using it or i am un aware of it. I wish i know so i could put it in good use. When i use to help someone i did use to think whats in it for me but now i help someone out regardless.There are people out here that are less fortunate and just need help so i do what i can.
ReplyDeleteI most grateful for my family, they have been there for me through thick and thin. They are the best and I could live my life without them in it. I feel that I’m a very honest person and I know that if im not honest in life I know that I can get somewhere, because being honest can really give someone a good impression on you. I feel that I don’t need to change anything about myself because if I did I wouldn’t be myself. I feel that my talent is talking to people; people that are close to me say that im very nice to other people and can stay a conversation at any moment. I know that I use this talent because it’s got me somewhere in life and when I get older it will help with a job. When I help someone I feel that it’s never for me it’s for the person im helping, because I know later in life something good will happen to me but im not counting on that.
ReplyDeleteI am greatful for alot of things. Especially the people that are in my life that are tryna push me forward to do better things. Appreciate them for doing that and i also try to help them back. Even though im not rich i still am greatful for the life that i live. Yes im a honest person. I dont see why that i couldnt be honest. Showing honesty is the best policy as schools can say. You will feel better bout your self if you stay true to yourself and others. If the world was honest then this world would be a better place. If there was anything i could change bout myself i would change the fact thati could make my relationships last longer. Im always messing things up and i dont even know why. If i could i would get my last girl back and do the right thing as i shoulda planned on doing at the beginning of the relationship. One of my talents is working hard. i love working at my new job at shoprite in williamstown. i feel as thow i want money so imma work hard for it. Another talent is fixing cars. i dont want to be a mechanic but i love doing it has a hobby. it saves me from being bored at home. When i help sometimes i think "whats in it for me". Depends on what it is and who's it for. If its someone that i dont really talk to then i say "whats in it for me". But if im kool with someone then ill help them out because i already know in the future they will help me out or that they already helped me out in the past.
