My Mom
The Similarities between My Mother and Me
I love my mother very much. She is not only a strong woman but also a great mother. My mother always takes care of the children in my family very well and chats with us as a friend; in addition, from the stories in life, she has taught us many valuable lessons. Most of my hobbies and habits are learned from my mother. Therefore, my mother and I have many similarities, such as liking adventure games, gift giving to loved ones on special occasions, and enjoying outdoor activities.
Both my mother and I like adventure games. When I was seven years old, she took me and my sister to go to a national park, a huge park with many games. My mother wanted us to join in a game, which has a boat falling from a very high waterfall. While my sister expressed fear, I was curious to try it. I still remember that when our boat reached the top of the waterfall, it suddenly stopped and began to move downward. I was very scared and crying. My mother tried to assure me that everything would be fine. She wanted me to overcome the fear of heights as well as be ready to face all the challenges in life. So far, I am more courageous, and we often spend more time to participate in adventure games.
My mother loves to give gifts on special occasions, and so do I. On holidays, we often go shopping to choose a special gift for loved ones. My mother said that a gift is a symbol of love and regard. To me, gift-giving helps bring people closer together. Also, gift-giving is traditional in my country. By gift-giving, we thank loved ones and wish them happiness. It may be valuable items or simply the greeting card, but more importantly is how you send the gifts. I especially love Christmas, when wishes come true. As a child, I still looked forward to receiving gifts from Santa. Now I can understand their meaning, and I would like to bring joy and happiness for everyone. Both of us enjoy outdoor activities. Last Sunday, my family spent time together at

    We hear people tell us about how some significant event or person in their lives came along and changed everything.

    I have read excerpts from two texts. An informational text titled ‘The Sea Around Us’ by Rachel Carson, and a literature text titled ‘Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea’, by Jules Verne. In both excerpts there are many descriptions of the ocean. Many people debate whether details are described more vividly in informational text, or in literature. I feel the ocean was described more vividly in the excerpt from the literature text ‘Twenty Thousand Leagues Under the Sea’.…

    Viktor Frankl’s book, “Mans Search for Meaning,” has an abundance of despair, loss, and chances to become bitter, however, Frankl turns those potential feelings around and makes them into an experience, one he can learn from. It is similar to the saying “learn from your mistakes.” Frankl experiences the worst of the worst, and he learns something magnificent. This is not a story about the horrible things that happened to him in the Nazi camp, but one about his search for meaning.…

    Inventions have shaped the growth of civilization since the beginning of time, but can an invention actually do more harm than good? Who is at fault? Should those who came up with the ideas be to blame? In answer to the first question, yes. Take gunpowder as an example; gunpowder was first used in China for entertainment, such as fireworks (Pyro universe, History of fireworks). However, when the invention went into the wrong hands, it became a weapon, which made it do more harm than good. It is not those who came up with the idea who are to blame, it is the people that use it in a deleterious way in human society.…

    Gift is a thing that is connected with different emotions and it is a common action nowadays. It is nice to receive positive attention from others, to get know that someone cares about you and that someone has thought about you. Also it is pleasant to say thank you to someone who did something good to you or just show your affection, gratitude to someone by giving something. In both case to receive gratitude and giving it to others, people for many centuries have been using gifts. But it has not the same meaning like hundred years ago. We do not mean the same when we give someone a gift and do not evaluate and realize the same when we receive a gift like thousand years ago. Where the world has come because now in some countries need to pay tax on gifts receive. The attitude to gifts has been changed, but what is the reason? People all over the world are with different traditions, opinions and lifestyles so also the meaning of a gift varies depending on the person who gives or receive it. Giving gifts is a surprisingly complex and important part of human interaction, helping to define relationships and strengthen bonds with family, friends and cooperation partners. Why people think differently about gifts? Gift giving and receiving attitude starts in our family, how our parents taught us to react to these actions. There are parents who give their child gifts all the time without any specific reason because they want to show how much they love their child or by compensating something they did not do, thus spoiling the child. Then there are parents who give gifts only when child has done something good, thus rewarding and trying to motivate their child. And also there are parents who do not give presents to their child because they think child should be grateful about the food, clothes and education what they give or maybe parents cannot afford to give presents but it does not mean that parents love their child less.…

    My DAD

    Growing up in a small town wasn't always easy for me. I felt that I was constantly hiding and denying the person that I was and the life that I lived. I was forced to be someone that I really wasn't due to the fact that I had a "family secret" that I was withholding in order to protect the well-known, family name, Hutcherson. In highschool, no one but family members and close friends knew that I lived with an alcoholic father. As a child I was always taught to keep our family life secret and never let people know the struggles that our family faced. People always thought that I had the best of everything because of the material possessions I accumulated from my dad. They assumed that because our family had money, we were problem free - and oh, how wrong they were! It was until my senior year at Halls High School that I kept leading people on to believe a lie. I finally got tired of feeling as though I was two different people with two different lives.…

    Sister! Most of us have siblings. I have an elder sister. I know here since the day I was born. We love each other a lot. At least I do. She was gone for 4 years to finish her degree. During that time we missed each other a lot. We did fight. But they were silly fights. But its been a year since she shifted back. And not even one day has gone by without fighting. We fight for the smallest of the smallest thing. I hate it when some one wears my night dress or uses my bed-sheet. So the other day I yelled at her for the same reason. Today, I was out with my friends. I wore one of her shirts, but I did call a million times to ask if I could. But she was busy and couldn’t answer. When I was home. She yelled at me. I didnt tell anything. But she didn’t stop. She didn’t even hear my side of the story. And what an issues she made out of it. OMG! I felt like throwing her out of the house. When I was young I use to shut up. But know, when I can speak for my self its know as throwing attitude?! Its that right?! Ill only tell, it was my mistake for yelling the other day. BUT I didn’t want to wear her shirt without her permission. No way would I want to. But I did tell my mother to tell it to her, but she forgot, neither one of our faults, is it? So she should have yelled, but shutted up after a while?!…
