Explain Why You Should Never Have For Granted
I believe that you should never take what you have for granted. Not even if everything is perfect, because it could change. In 2008, I was in kindergarten. My mom, grandma, and I were extremely close. Every Tuesday, Thursday, and weekends we would go to the mall and dinner. One day everything changed, on Halloween. My grandma was found in a dressing room and Catos. She was unconscious. Later, I found out she had a brain aneurysm. After two brain surgeries, a long road of recovery, she still isn't the Grammy I once knew. In this, I learned to never take anyone, or anything for granted.

    Informative Essay: My Role As A Role Model

    One of many important roles that my mom plays in my life is that of a teacher and counselor. She has taught, and still teaches, about life and anything right and wrong in the world. An example would be that no matter how complicated something can get, never give up and walk away after the first try. Dale Carnegie, a famous writer and lecturer, once said; “Most of the things in the world have been accomplished by people who have kept on trying when there seemed to be no hope at all.” (Walter 1) Another would be just because you see someone do something that seems bad, but does not get in trouble, do not…

    Throughout my 13 years I have been through so far, I have thankfully not experienced losing someone really close to me, losing a prized possession, etc. Everyone hopes these things will never happen, but I know one day I will, even when trying to avoid them, it’s impossible. However, there was one moment that made me realize all the grateful things I already have around me. This day, was Thanksgiving day of 2012, in Central Park, Pasadena, when I was helping out at a little event for the homeless.…

    Taken for Granted

    One’s life may seem dull when favored by many but not by one’s family. A lazy man, not devoted to his family, who neglects his obligations, is selfish and cowardly. Life is short, even shorter and less rewarding when taken for granted. Living life as a pessimist leads one to such displeasure but living optimistically will guide one to happiness.…

    Being Thankful For Research Paper

    I take many material things for granted that give me enjoyment such as my laptop, iPod, iPhone, my trainer, and a gym membership. I am thankful to have a great trainer and a gym membership so I can get big, bulky, lean, cut, in shape, and to get ready for my competition in May. Also, other thing that I can’t for granted is having my own car to drive to school and take out on the weekend to have some fun or hang out with friends. I am grateful for not having to work and have a job to help support my family. I am grateful for my mom because of all the things and work she does around the house and help out the family as much as she can. She keeps the family rolling/going and always remembers everything when everyone doesn’t have no idea about things. I am grateful for my dad and how much hard work he puts into his farm to give support and good living for the family. I help my mom and dad as much as I can because I will never be able to pay them back for all the things they have done for me. I try to help my family as much as possible to keep it going even when I like it or not. I am grateful to be an bodybuilder and other things I do because I am in good health/shape and be a normal…

    The Big Moment Research Paper

    I choose to believe that there is nothing more sacred or profound than this day. I choose to believe that there may be a thousand big moments embedded in this day, waiting to be discovered like tiny shards of gold. The big moments are the daily, tiny moments of courage and forgiveness and hope that we grab on to and extend to one another. That’s the drama of life, swirling all around us, and generally I don’t even see it, because I’m too busy waiting to become whatever it is I think I am about to become. The big moments are in every hour, every conversation, every meal, every meeting.…

    Tribute Speech

    “If you ever wonder why bad things happen to good people, it’s because God knows they’re capable of handling it.” Reading this quote makes me think of someone who was very special in my life, because she was able to handle things anyone else might think are unbearable. That person was my grandma Marilyn Doyle. She had many influences on me, a few are how she had such an open heart, was very accepting, and she was very confident in what she believed in. It’s incredibly difficult to put into words how much she really meant to me. She had a genuine smile, which flashes into my head every time I think of her. She was a very strong-willed, independent, and a loving person. Although I didn’t get to spend as much time with her as I would have liked to, I felt as though we had a very special relationship.…

    Personal Narrative: My Struggle Between Reading And Writing

    I had brought my grandma a piece of my birthday cake that was left over from my party the day before, even though I didn’t know she couldn’t eat it because it had way too much sugar in it. I came back the next day to visit my grandma in hospice, and I noticed the cake was still sitting in the same spot I had left it the day before. I asked my mother, and my grandpa why she hadn’t eaten it, and the nurse explained to me that she couldn’t eat anything with that much sugar in it. A couple hours later I lost my loving grandma to such a horrible disease. I now only have memories of her, and can only wish she would be there for me when I graduated high school two years ago, and also to watch all the huge steps that I will take later in my…

    Taking things for granted

    Growing up all through life you hear people constantly telling you not to take things in life for granted. I was told that quite often as a child but I usually let it go through one ear and out the other. One day I was faced with the tragic, unexpected death of my uncle and then everything began to set in. I unfortunately learned the hard way to never take the love and family that you have in your life for granted because all of that could be gone in a blink of an eye.…

    Devastating occurrences have the ability to completely alter the ways in which you live your life. When these certain situations occur, you have two choices: You can let them destroy you, or you can let them strengthen you. My outlook on life was completely changed when my kind hearted grandmother passed away when I was just a child.

    The Person Who Changed My Life

    My grandmother taught me how important it is to tolerate people and certain situations. She told me showing people respect will get you a long way in life, as well as seeking help in hard times and facing problems instead of running away from them. Because of this, I try to see the good in people and over look the bad. When I have a problem I think of ways to solve it. When I cannot find a solution I ask for help before things get worse.…
