were always hard. It wasn't always fair things happen in a blink of an eye when you least expect it. It only takes one or two persons to change it around like in my case. I look up to my cousin and my girlfriends that may have saved my life or helped me pull thru the hardest part. Thanks to these people I'm a different person and I look at things different ways not like before. Backing the days I was trapped in a little world saying f*** the world and f*** the laws. I didn't pay attention to the

my life. They mean so much to me because they have given me the chance to build relationships with teammates and competitors. Playing sports made me realize that win or lose, if I had worked my hardest I was happy with myself. I like to play sports because they give me time to focus on training, which relieves stress and keeps me fit. I like to play soccer and ice hockey because I learn to work with a team. Individual sports such as track and dancing have given me the confidence to perform successfully

being verbal. Body language is thought to make up 55% of non-verbal communication and the tone of voice makes up 38% of non-verbal communication according to the book “Silent Messages” (Mehrabian, 1971), although not everyone agrees with this. According to Phillip Yaffe, author of “The 7% Rule: Fact, Fiction or Misunderstanding”, body language and tone of voice are “ancillary activities” that convey only emphasis or emotion. In his paper Mr. Yaffe makes the argument that the content of the speech

We’re so judgmental that we hate people that do not have the same ideas as us. For example, we say that girls who wear too much make-up are ugly. What if they just want to express themselves?

allotment, bed time, and candy consumption. Of course all of these conflicts ended poorly for me, as any legitimate argument, that I could probably not have even produced at the time, would have been crushed by the most compelling argument of all, my parents authority over my life. So as I grew up, I remained argumentative with my parents, brothers, friends, teachers, and pretty much anyone else who wasn't me. Usually the results were not much different and ended with my defeat, since I still did not

day reminds me of my 8th grade graduation. I sat on the stage listening to three of my peers give beautiful speeches that had nothing to do with any of the feelings I felt. The speakers harped on the nostalgia of leaving a school they had been at for nine years; I had only been there for three. They spoke on how they would miss seeing the same faces everyday and that they feared the days ahead – however, I was excited. When I thought about the future I saw all the things waiting for me to come and

There are things we wish we knew when we were younger that we know now. We look back on life and wonder if someone would have told us how to live life a few years ago, we would not be in the same situation we are in now. For example, a relative telling you to not regret anything you do in life, or to always live in the moment and not look back. Advice is key to living a great life. If one listens to the people who have already experienced what he or she is now going through, one could embrace
