Everyone, in my eyes, is unique. No one is born the same and no one has the same life experiences but, many choose to become like another person for a number of reasons. It isn't bad to be similar to another person, friendships start by two or more people who share the same beliefs and values. The problem occurs when a large group of people change themselves to fit in, and I think that has thrown our society miles off course. Sometimes in our society taking care of the children is left to the oldest child. It isn’t right but it happens. In the story Salvador late or early, a young boy takes care of his younger siblings by feeding them and getting them to schools every day. I feel this piece expresses the injustice of kids having …show more content…
It could be a job opportunity that they didn’t take or a regret because they didn’t choose a good path. I have given up opportunities before that would have helped me later on in life. This year I had the option of going to Jacksonville for school instead of PHS. Jacksonville would have been better for my education but I would rarely see any of my friends. For Jayden it would have been easier because she is a girl and would have made friends much faster. I most likely would have come home the first day and realised I had great animosity in my decision and I believe I made the right decision to not change school districts for many reasons. For many it would have been a better experience but i believe for me it wouldn't have because I am different. I don't make friends easily like others seem to do. I don't enjoy going to school events and other activities. My cup of tea is watching a movie or being with only one or two of my …show more content…
This is as true as it gets. Everyone should feel happy about acting and operating in their own way without anyone’s judgement. People should love themselves rather than trying to fit in with the popular crowd. The only circumstance where you shouldn’t love yourself is when you are doing something morally wrong. I believe the ones who act tough in front of others do so not because they are but because it is the only way they can make friends. I dislike people who act better than everyone else because of their age, property, phone or because they are good at sports. I do believe it is good to be athletic but not to the point where you trot around telling how wonderful you are. I have witnessed a ton of this going through school but it's good to see now that life is catching up with those people.
Don't be afraid to stand out. This is along the line of what Maroon 5’s lead singer said during a tv show. Fitting in is only fun for the one that everyone likes to fit in with. It revolves around one person. I use to pretend to be like that person but, i have now realized they’re unimportant and full of themselves. Many choose to be more like their friends or someone they like but the world shouldn’t revolve around that
In today's world there is kids in child labor and many people struggling with poverty. It is important that Francisco Jimenez tells a story of migrant farm workers because many people don't understand the struggles the workers go throw.This is relevant to our lives because people who aren't struggling with poverty or are in child labor take most things for granted and those who struggle would be more than grateful for the most slightest
In Sandra Cisneros' short story, “Salvador Late or Early”, the main character, Salvador, is established as a responsible young boy through Cisneros use of metaphors. In the sentence, “Arturito has dropped the cigar box of crayons, has let go the hundred little fingers..”, Cisneros uses the metaphor to compare how Salvador is like an adult. This is due to the fact that crayons relate to kids, which is what Salvador still is, while the cigar box relates to an adult. Adults tend to have more responsibilities than children do, which may be Cisneros way of showing that Salvador looks like a child on the outside, but has the burden of an adult on the inside, because of the responsibilities he has when it comes to his brothers.

One Flew Over the Cukoo's Nest: Every Person is Different In this world there are millions upon millions of people that roam around the earth in there own special, little life. Every person is different than the next one and he or she has their own personality. Each person also deals with life differently than the next. If everyone was the same, then we would be like one giant colony of ants.
In life you will be faced with the challenge of fitting in many times, but you should not let the people around you define who you are. At school there are lots of trends and I see it here at collegiate where people wear certain clothes or shoes because it’s a fad. In third and fourth grade the largest fad by far was “Silly Bandz” and everyone had them and everyone wanted to have them. It may seem to be an unsophisticated example, but it is very relevant to the topic. Everyone should be individual and not just what other people are pressuring them to be, but truly themselves. Be a leader not a
A large majority of teens want to fit in and feel like they belong, but how far are they willing to go to fit in? The more they want to fit in the more likely they will be easily influenced by suggestions from others. During my second week of eighth grade, I felt like I wasn’t fitting in and that everyone was silently judging me and criticizing me. Of course now that I think about I don’t think anyone really cared about me, but I was more self-conscious about myself then. One day during lunch my friends and I sat next to a couple of girls who were known as the “popular” girls and I thought that maybe I would fit in more if I was friends with them. I spent the rest of that lunch hour trying to build up the courage to talk to them and at last minute I told the friendliest looking girl, that I loved her shirt and I asked her what store she bought it from. She told me that it was from Free People; she then gushed about the store and told me how everything there was amazing. She suggested that I should check it out sometime so I did. I, of course couldn’t wait to shop there. I told myself that if I shopped at Free People, I could maybe fit in with her and even be a part of the popu...

Everyone is different in their own way. Our differences are what make us unique. Since no one is weird or an outcast, people are just misjudged or misunderstood. In one person’s eyes they might be different, but to another person they might be the center of their world.
The boy comprehends the severity of the situations he is faced with, such as lack of food or water, and treats his father with the same respect and equality that the man gives him. He insists on sharing his portions with his father when they are uneven, and he remains cautious at all times, even when his father is not. The boy’s fire is fueled by his love for his father, which is shown by the boy’s priority on caring for his father’s wellbeing, just as the man does for him. This love and responsibility, manifesting in the form of self-sacrifice and compassion, lies in direct juxtaposition to the rest of the world, where selfishness and indifference reigns
Different people see different similarities and similar differences. " There are many differences between us, but we are easily compared by our: appearance/age, daily thoughts/actions, and relationships. In other words, we exhibit similar characteristics, display many of the same actions,
Being different or not the same can bring us together as humans and if we were all the same it would be boring. Although some people might say only weird or not normal people are considered outsiders, the experience of being an outsider is a feeling everyone has felt and as humans is a universal feeling because
In the Individual level, all persons are in some respects unique from other individuals, while, at a genetic level, humans are the same; however, we all possess individuality.
The reason we do not go out looking for the differences between them is because some individuals are afraid of any difference that breaks their social norm. Each person is unique in their own way, having vast differences and challenges that they may face to become themselves. These differences and challenges are what bring us together and make up the communities we live in. They could be someones teacher, best friend, sister. or brother, they could even be someones role model.
In one journal entry I wrote, I brought to light that the popular group is something that every one of us, for some reason feels as though we need to be a part of. This is from my own experience and things I have observed throughout my four-year career in high school. I think it was perhaps worse in junior high, however. When you are in seventh and eighth grade you are not sure of who you are and are desperately searching around for something to belong to, to be a part of. Why is this, why are we a society that are most often drawn to the most popular, "cool" and "beautiful" that high school has to offer? Why is acceptance the most important thing to us, is belonging really as important as losing your own sense of self? Who you hang out with, who your closest friends are as an adolescent without a doubt help to shape who you are. And it's funny that you seem to end up being friends with the ones who are the same type of people as you. Same fashion sense, taste in music or cars and movies. When searching for an identity in high school, it is hard not to just attempt to pick up the one that seems the most socially acceptable. I know that my personal experiences include these conforming characteristics. Still as a freshman in college I am constantly looking at the fashion of my peers, wondering to myself "do they think I fit in"? This was especially true the first few weeks of college when I wasn't sure who my good friends were going to be; I made sure that I dressed as well as I could everyday, in all the new clothes I had bought specifically for college.
"Be yourself, not your idea of what you think somebody else's idea of yourself should be." --
Loving yourself is the key to a happy life. When you love all that you are, unconditionally, life reflects that back to you. When you learn to love yourself, fully, you create a happy, loving environment to flourish in. When we lose sight of what’s most important—loving self—we lose sight of our goals and dreams and being happy and healthy. Ultimately, to live a fulfilling life, first and foremost, requires that you love all that you are and trust that life loves you in return.
