...Dania Shaikh BBA 2 Hindsight Essay A true friend is one who helps you when you are in crisis then the one who stays with you just for fun. You do not need friends to have fun as there are many activities to entertain you. We need friends to help us when we need them. A real friend will appear in proper time and will always be with you to enjoy the happy moments and console you during the sad moments of your life. Going through hardship together makes two friends bond stronger. A good friend is man’s precious possession. The real worth of people is known when we fall on bad days. Those who stand by us through thick and thin are real friends. Previously I used to trust all my friends. I used to consider all of them my true friends. The company of my friends used to make me feel happy and this life worth living. I considered them as a blessing but it took me time to realize that it is important to choose your friends wisely and differentiate between your friends and your enemies. Not all your friends will help you and stand by your side when you will need them. One day after school, I and my friend were walking back home. We both were busy talking that we didn’t realize we are passing through a desolate street full of dogs. There were 4 to 5 wild dogs that started following us. I saw them coming towards us, I asked my friend to run. My friend suggested that we both climb the tree. I told her I don’t know how to climb. She said then you go and find a way to escape from this danger...

...years and cats for 7,000 (Cats vs Dogs, n.d.). It appears in my research that most people that were asked this question “which makes a better pet, a dog or a cat” replied with the answer “dogs,” but if dogs are the better pet then why is it that there are 96.3 million homes that own cats and only 77.5 million homes that own dogs. The scientists at Oxford University released a study that claims dogs are smarter than cats and The London Daily Telegraph has reported dogs have been named as more social animals and therefore have bigger brains than the “alone loving cat” (Gatton Star, 2010, p.11). Here is something to think about: have you ever heard of a cat running full speed into a glass door? Sure a dog is a “man’s best friend” and is always there by your side, he can catch a ball in his mouth, and he knows exactly when he is in trouble, but one thing you can say for a cat is that he thinks for himself. Cats will not do anything they do not want to do – something quite intelligent. A cat does not fetch, instead they simply stare at you in a judgmental way as if to say “You threw the ball, go get it yourself. I am busy.” (Gatton Star, 2010, p.11). There are many pros and cons of cats and...

...Animal species of friends Friends are a group of people in your life that you choose to surround yourself with. Here are some of the types of friends that I have classified: outgoing, spontaneous, shy, and ruthless. I have had all different kinds of friends in the past couple years so I have become introduced to the stereotypes there are. There have been times I have gotten myself into trouble with befriending the bad ones and had some of the best memories with the good ones. There are many types of friends but the best ones are outgoing and spontaneous. The slow sloth: This friend is shy and quiet. Can be seen lying on the couch lounging around a lot. Like a sloth this friend lives a slow life with little adventure. They can be boring, unsocial, and lazy. The slow sloth will make excuses when asked out. They will say “I am tired” or “I’m not feeling well” to escape from going out and socializing with other people. This sloth might just put a damper in your lifestyle. As an introvert friend I’m sure there is definite jealousy over the “Courageous lion”. The courageous lion: An outgoing and joyous person who adapts to any situation. This friend always has your attention and is constantly surrounded by people. You will almost never find this friend at home on the weekends for they love to go out and socialize. Like a lion this friend comes in packs because everyone loves to be around them. Although an outgoing friend is like a spontaneous friend there are some differences...

...and others either choose to go on a different path or make a wrong turn listening to backseat drivers, the normal reaction to that situation would be to hold the backseat driver accountable for the mistakes that, but the person behind the wheel should assume full responsibility. The driver has freedom of choice whether it is to listen to that person over their shoulder or listen to his or her own mind. The decision that is made in every special circumstance of our lives is responsible for our own success and failures, happiness, unhappiness, past, and future. Some people may believe because the economy is bad they can blame others for their actions. Honestly, becoming the owner of personal responsibility and accepting the choices made will make you a successful person. First of all I am extremely happy and excited about the programs and tutorials that University of Phoenix provides students to help them obtain excellence in class. The workshops available assist students who have been out of school for several years remember the basics of each subject. It keeps me motivated during the classes and definitely makes learning easy. Make sure you set your expectations and be clear on what it is you want to obtain. It is not easy staying on track because everyday life events get in the way and that can sway your decision to do the right thing, but do not let that discourage you, an education is a great benefit and will open up all forms of opportunities in your future.

...me is written by a girl who is my age, 14, named Abby Miller. This is what she says, "I'm just a person, a kid, there's not much I can do because I'm just a drop in a sea full of people, but every drop added can start a ripple which can start a wave of change. No matter what the outcome is we will always be that drop that starts that ripple that creates that wave that will reach so many people beyond our vision, so what's a better time than now to start our wave?" This quote really inspired me because I think a lot of kids including me feel like since we are just kids we can't make a change, but this quote really says that we can make a change no matter how old we are. I believe that friends are a big part of everyone's lives. I believe that friends are as close as family is and that friends are one of the greatest things in life....

...how your everyday influences can affect your academics. Some other influences are school and social media. All of these influences have played a major part in my academic success. In this essay I will explain how these influences can affect your academics in a positive and negative way. First off a major influence in everyone’s life are parents. My parents supported me to complete high school and further my education by going to college. They also told me to do my best. My parents do a lot for me and I don’t want to let them down by getting bad grades. Parents are responsible for raising their children to be responsible and reach their full potential. Now not all parents do this but the ones who do make their child successful in school will get them extra help if they are struggling with a course and encourage them to do their best in school. The parents who don’t raise their child well affect the child’s academic success. Those parents are care free and don’t understand the importance of an education. Most kids inherit parent’s beliefs so if the parents don’t understand the importance of school then the kid will think the same. Some children can tell the differences from right and wrong with out the parent support but it’s a low percentage. Parents don’t need to take that chance. Our children are the future and we need to start raising them right so that can they can achieve academic success and become leaders. With this in mind, friends are...

...A New School Year Timothy R Schmoyer 8/22/01 WEEK ONE - INTRODUCTION It was a fog-shrouded morning, July 4, 1952, when a young woman named Florence Chadwick waded into the water off Catalina Island. She intended to swim the channel from the island to the California coast. Long-distance swimming was not new to her; she had been the first woman to swim the English Channel in both directions. The water was numbing cold that day. The fog was so thick she could hardly see the boats in her party. Several times sharks had to be driven away with rifle fire. She swam more than fifteen hours before she asked to be taken out of the water. Her trainer tried to encourage her to swim on since they were so close to land, but when Florence looked, all she saw was fog. So she quit . . . only one-half mile from her goal. Later she said, “I’m not excusing myself, but if I could have seen the land, I might have made it.” It wasn’t the cold or fear or exhaustion that caused Florence Chadwick to fail – it was the fog. Many times we too fail, not because we’re afraid or because of the peer pressure or because of anything other than the fact that we lose sight of the goal. Maybe that’s why Paul said, “I press on toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus” (Phil 3:14). Two months after her failure, Florence Chadwick walked off the same beach into the same channel and swam the distance, setting a new speed record, because she could see the land, she kept...
