have you ever wonder how many people in this world own a pet? this made wonder when one of my friends asked my sister to take care of her dog for a day. For some reason many people own dogs, cats, birds, lizards or hamsters, etc. I understand why they will own a dog, cat, birds, but a lizard or a hamster theres no point to me. people have pets in there house because they want to feel the love a pet. Sometimes people just love animals. How do people get the love from those that don't even move or make a sound? For example, birds chirp beautifully that brings happiness to the house and tho their owner. In some cases, birds chirp can get a bit annoying. However, a lizard doesn't do anything at all, just stick its tongue out and stay still in one place for a long time. When i was young, i remember telling my parents to get a dog for me. Since i bugged them a lot, they granted my wish. Once i had my pet for a week i didnt want to have it anymore. it was sad, but true. Since then, i never want to have pets in my life. The reason for this is because having a pet is more like having to take responsiblity of someone by feeding it, bathing, and clean after them. if you know what i mean by that. i agree with having the companion of a pet around the house, but there is also responibilty of having one too. i am not against those people who own pets, but in my point of view, I wouldnt consider having one.

Do you have a hobby or something to do in your time off? Although many would consider a no to this question due to the time people invest in work. However in my case is different I attempt to make time for everything in my mind. Therefore my hobby I love doing is skateboarding and playing soccer. As I practice these hobbies I seem to feel comfortable and good about myself. Soccer and skateboarding had thought me alot of valuable stuff. For example to never give up on what i want, and that practice always makes good. My hobbies help me release lots of stress due to the effort and participation I put into it. I get really into it that I just focus on the hobby then everything bad going around me. Therefore making the best out of a hobby helps me stay positive in life and also making choices in life; Even though the reason why I made those my hobbies is because as a children thats all I know. I would get home from school and go outside and play soccer and skateboard then. So thats why I think I kept doing or following those same habbits because of the impact it took place. As a children thats all I did so now that I became older I try and make them actually happend by keeping them updated and practicing it. Because the fact is that I can not live without them. In other words, having a hobby is a really good, possitive thing to do because the consequence of it are really good and the benefits that are offered aare great as well.

Its unexpected when the next one will hit, the amont of force in it or the width it will cover. I sit next to shore with a pretty girl I love so much pondering on what makes them so cool. The foam around them makes me even think more, what causes that. Although some are small and some big they all have the same purpose. As we sit and enjoy the day, we look at them and laugh. They seem to curve and twist in oppisite ways. At times I wonder why they have the privllege to be so free and float so freely. Seeing them float and work the way they do, makes me think why can I be like that; float without problems, pain, anger, or etc. Not to mention, the feeling you get when you go to it, the breeze that hits you while you and your love ones are viewing it. As if it makes a perfect combination for any occasion, if its a date looking at it makes it a good cause, if it's a family gathering as well. The curving, twisting, watery things i metion earlier are also known as waves are the ones doing all the impact in the beaches. The waves are part of the beach and without them their wouldn't be anything because thats what the water needs to call for attention and make the viewers alot more focus and also make them ponder in something positive while looking at them.

Should each one of us be selfish when it comes to helping others? I have thought about this question since i witnessed an elderly woman who had trouble putting her groceries inside her car and nobody surrounding her helped her. Many people believe in only caring about themselves. They would like other people to help them out, but not help them if they need. Many people believe in helping others. Whether it is some one they know or a stranger that may need the help that moment your there. I have had experience where in some cases, people do care about me and help me out when I needed. On the other hand, there are others who are selfish enough to just think about themselves. In my perspective, helping others when they need it will make one self a better person. Having the thought of have helped others in the past makes me have a positive attitude towards others. Also, there will be no guilt within yourself when you took the chance to help someone. One should remain an individual and hold onto personal believes and morals. When helping others, you have a better feeling about yourself. You will know that you have done something right. There would be some difficulties but you would know that you at least tried instead of doing nothing. Even though you did help someone or at least tried, you know that there will be no guilt feeling in you. Helping others would not come to you as an obligation, but as a believe that helping others is the right thing to do.

I have realized how our world has been sorrounded with many stories. There is not one person in the world that in their childhood they have heard many different folktales and stories by their parents. In every culture they have their own style of folktales and stories that they would share with their children, but they all have the same meaning of why parents share these stories with them. In every story parents share with their children the different type of values there are in each folktale and stories. Value can be defined as something that means a lot to someone and may have gained something. In this case, the folktales and stories that parents tell their children are stories for them to understand the values of life. For example, children can learn the value of being a good person would bring them good value. Many stories can show you some different type of calues that you gained from them. They can also be the most important to you because they are part of your culture. The folktales and stories had been passed from generation to generation, which would have an important value of them. As for me, all stories that were told to me when I was a child, have been passed on to my sisters. The stories that were told to us were stories that teached us the lesson to not talk to strangers and to be a good person with everyone. The value of these folktales and stories are something important to each person that mean a lot to them and learn different things or lessons that can be helpful in life.

Criticism has been part of this world, but how can we be able to avoid these criticisms from one another? Of course, it is a fact that everyone has their own opinion about how you should do, say or appear, wheter it is good or bad. We all have been victimes on criticizing others or have been criticized by others. The main point on criticizing is just showing your opinion on what you think about that person. But for many of us criticism plays a big role on how to keep it from not affecting us and also not affecting the other person. I believe that the best way to face these crticisms and the way we critize others is to be courteous. Not everyone in this world going to the have the same opinion about something because we all have our own set of mind and beliefs. Therefore, criticize them in a discerning way by listening to what there beliefs are. Whether I sometimes may not believe on the same thing as another person, arguing with the person wont change anything. But if nothing bad is ever said, then nothing good will ever get done. I also believe and will like to encourage others to not let the criticism get you down because that is just there opinion they have about who you are. Criticizing is done to just make you a stronger person on expressing who you are. It is never good to hide in expressing on what you believe. Be who you want to be and treat others the way you would want others to treat you. It is our job to not let others put us down because then we would not be the person who we truly are.

For a long time I have been thinking on how many people believe that they are not capable to make their dreams come true. When in reality everything is possible, of course if you have the faith in one self. The way that I have been brought up in this wrold by my parents is to never give my self up. Since I was a young teenager, about thirteen years old, i always want it to get a job, I already knew by then that I have the enthusiasm and the strength to make my dreams come true. In those years, dreams to me were to buy myself a skateboard, As the result of my hard work and responsiblity, I made my dream come true on getting what I want it, This shoes how easy it is to make your dreams come true only if you push your self forward, Dreams are not just going to and knock on your door anytime you want or just be waiting for your dream to happen when you haven't done any effor at all. One of my opinions that i give those that I care about the most is to always keee trying no matter what. For example, when looking for a job, you want to give them to say "yes you are hired", when you already know you have a "no" in the other hand. You will need to persuade the person who is interviewing you by giving the impression that you want the job. In other words, aleays go with a positive attitude and never in a negative because you are putting yourself down and the person who is interviewing you. As for me, I am always looking ahead in the future, Whether I have had many obstacles in the and maybe still more to come, I have a positive attitude in making my dream come true. Follow for what you want in life with a positive attitude and have faith for someday all the work you have done will make your dream come true a reality.
