The Journey of Self-Discovery

To go on a journey of self discovery means to simply find a path and walk through it to find who you are. As you walk, run, stumble, stride, sprint, and fight; you discover your strengths, and how to overcome your weaknesses, your likes and dislikes, and a way to find inner peace and happiness doing what you love.

 

I would also say it's the time to escape from your boring ordinary life, to find who you really are and what you have done in your life and what you want to do in your life. It is the time when you discover not just who you are but also what you are capable of, and your abilities.

I once hanged around with the wrong group of people my eighth grade year and I didn't find my self discovery until I made my teacher cry which made me feel like the biggest jerk ever. That's when I broke away with that group of people, because I knew that wasn't who I truly was. Which truly helped me to find my self discovery. Which was that I'm not that rude type of person.

Better Watch Your Back!

The people who watch you and make comments about you behind your back generally do not "have your best interests at heart." Those are the people that say things about you that can hurt you and just start rumors about you. They're usually the ones that cause drama for everyone and they do it, because they have nothing else better to do and have no life. They are the people that were once your friend but now there not, because they went behind your back and back stabbed you.

The people that truly "have your best interests at heart" are the people that are truly your friends. They are the ones that they will say things to you straight, not go behind your back and talk about you. Everyone says that you only have a a few true friends, and everyone can agree that it's true. Everyone has had someone back stab them, if they were a close friend or not, everyone has been hurt even if they might have your best interests at heart. I can truly say that I have a few true friends, because I know that they will be there for me through the thick and thin.

Gatsby's Questionaire

How does Daisy and Gatsby know each other?

Why are Tom and Daisy still with each other if they are both in affairs?

What does Mr. Meyer Wolfshiem fix in 1919?

Oh Ms. Daisy

I looked back at my cousin,

Who began to ask me questions in her low, thrilling voice.

It was the kind of voice that the ear follows up and down,

As if each speech is an arrangement of notes

That will never be played again.

Her face was sad and lovely with bright things in it,

Bright eyes and a bright passionate mouth,

But there was an excitement in her voice

That men who had cared for her found difficult to forget:

A singing compulsion,

A whispered “Listen,”

A promise that she had done gay,

Exciting things just a while since and that there were gay,

Exciting things hovering in the next hour.

Bad First Impression

First impressions can make a huge difference. It just depends on how bad your impression was towards others. It's easy for some people to recover from first impressions but for others it's very difficult.
Bad impressions are really hard to come back from. For instance, how I met one of my closest friend I have. I am not going to say who it is, but if you know who it is don't say anything. Anyways when I first met him he said, "Hey my name is .....", and my fist impression was he's gay, because it was the gayest nickname I ever heard and I thought he was for the longest time but then I got to really know him and to find out he's not. So it is easy for you to recover from a first bad impression just as long as you get to know the person for who they really are.  
Everyone thinks and takes things in differently and it's those things that people see that either makes a relationship or a friendship or just to never have a relationship. If the person is understanding, they'll realize that they are not what you think they are, but if the person jumps to conclusions and just sees you as the first thing that comes inside their head then that person isn't really a person to be friends with because all they do is jump to conclusions.

Can Our Looks Be Deceptive?

Everyone dresses to impress or they dress the way they do, because they seen someone else dress like that before. But even though with their fancy clothes, their make-up or their snap-backs, everyone is deceptive by the way they look. Even if they realize it or not.

Their are many examples like when you go to the store. You may see the people that work there and say, "Hey they look pretty nice, let me ask them where I can find the things I need." Then when you ask them they are the rudest person you've ever talked too and you just move on. But the number one place where appearance is the most perceptive is SCHOOL! There is way too many fake people at school. The may seem nice in the beginning, but they are the rudest/ meanest person ever. You may trust them in the beginning but they just end up backstabbing you in the back, because they just wanted to hang out with you just to look cool. In the end everyone just cares about their social status in high school.

I value everyone in my life like my friends and family more than anything to the point where I would do anything for my family or my friends no matter what. But sometimes people just take advantage of that. Some people just get with someone just to have a lot of money or have a high social standing. They want them to buy what they want whenever they want it., and just want to look good brag to everyone saying how good they look. But overall as long as you know how to have fun and your not a fake person then I'll be your friend.
