Trust Lost Have you ever lost trust, respect, and a friendship in one night? Trust, firm belief in the reliability, truth, ability, or strength in someone or something. Trust is an emotion; and important thing to have with someone. Some people seem to take that for granted at times. Summer of 2015 was planned to the t. Planned to be the perfect summer vacation. A summer vacation filled with sunburns, swimming and long nights. It was June 3rd, the first day of summer, middle schoolers filled the towns in my area as we got out earlier than the normal 3 o’clock time slot.I had been talking to my best friend that had moved to washington a year before. We planned all the fun things we were going to be doing for that upcoming summer. She was getting …show more content…

Her and I took our towels and laid them in a sandy area of the beach and got ready to go in the water. This consisted of us lathering sunscreen on ourselves, taking off our shorts, our tank-tops till we were in just our suits, and kicking off our flip flops. We both ran to the water and winced at the sudden cold feeling rising up our legs from the lake. It took her mere seconds to completely emerge herself into the water, me taking about 6 minutes because i'm a baby with the cold. We must have been in that water for hours. We got out of the cold water and walked to our table. I opened up a water as she did and chugged it, feeling very dehydrated from the long swim. Laina and I then went to our towels and laid down. We talked and laughed about nothing of importance, as per usual. “How is the new school, Laina?” I asked as i closed my eyes under the brightness of the sun. She responded with a small shrugs and “It’s school, how good could it get.” I laughed softly, nodding along to her words, even though she wasn't looking at me. It was going to be getting dark so we wanted to start heading back. We packed up everything and started our walk home. I put my hair up into a tight ponytail to keep it out of my face as we walked …show more content…

We took seperate showers, quickly. Then we collapsed onto my bed exhausted from the long day. My mom was going to be getting home soon so we decided to start our fort we always do on the porch. We took all my blankets and pillows and threw them onto the deck then grabbed some sheets to hang around us. We plugged in the fair lights that hung above us. I went back inside to grab some snacks and things to drink. Soon we just ended up laying in the fort and talking about nothing specific like always. Out of nowhere she turned to me and smiled, I smiled back, confused of why she was randomly smiling at me. I turned onto my side, my back toward her. After turning over she grabbed my butt, hard, and I froze. Her hand ruined me that night. I didn't know what to do as she took advantage of me in one of the worst ways

    The smell of the restaurants faded and the new, refreshing aroma of the sea salt in the air took over. The sun’s warmth on my skin and the constant breeze was a familiar feeling that I loved every single time we came to the beach. I remember the first time we came to the beach. I was only nine years old. The white sand amazed me because it looked like a wavy blanket of snow, but was misleading because it was scorching hot. The water shone green like an emerald, it was content. By this I mean that the waves were weak enough to stand through as they rushed over me. There was no sense of fear of being drug out to sea like a shipwrecked sailor. Knowing all this now I knew exactly how to approach the beach. Wear my sandals as long as I could and lay spread out my towel without hesitation. Then I’d jump in the water to coat myself in a moist protective layer before returning to my now slightly less hot towel. In the water it was a completely different world. While trying to avoid the occasional passing jellyfish, it was an experience of

  • The Philosophy of Trust

    Trust plays a vital role in the lives of humans as it is the pathway to founding and maintaining a good, morally mature society. Whether it is trusting another in team sports, friendship, or just for help and guidance, trust is able to increase the strength of the bond between any amount of people. Although we rely on our trust for another to see through to a desirable result, we are in fact risking what we are entrusting to another, and it is probable that our trust is taken advantage of and lead to betrayal. Why this is the cause and what action should be taken to minimise betrayal has been explored by many philosophers such as Plato, Thomas Hobbes and David Hume.

    Only those who have experienced a close friend or trusted one disappearing or turning against them know the true feeling of betrayal. One minute, they are by our side. The next, upon the sense of any danger or troublesome situation, they are gone. Most college students know this emotion all too well. Whether it happens in group projects or simply because the other person is taking different classes and no longer has time to spend, the student feels the same way a betrayed person would.

  • Essay On Trust And Trust

    1895 Words  | 4 Pages

    Trust is extremely important and is a main aspect of human interaction. On top of this, the rule of law is arguably as, or even more, important in the same situations. European economists Shu Yu, Sjoerd Beugelsdik, and Jakob de Haan found that when the rule of law functions better, trust becomes less necessary in trade. So the question becomes: If rule of law was strong enough where people were forced to act in a way that would help the economy, would trust be necessary at all? I argue that it is, as I believe that trust is always necessary in economic transactions. The act might be the same, but the outcome will not be.

    Brick walls are always going to show up in our lives to prove to us how badly we want something. One brick wall that I have faced in my life has to do with when I was younger and played softball. I was the newest member of the team and I had never played the sport before. I was always interested in watching softball, and finally decided to play on a recreational team with my close friend. All of the other girls had played for a few years already, and had grasped the skill. I on the other hand, was just learning all of the skills and wasn’t the best. Each practice, I would really try hard to play at the same skill level as all of the other girls, but it was hard to instantly be good at something new. Eventually, the games started to begin and

  • Essay On Loyalty

    855 Words  | 2 Pages

    In today’s business setting, having an edge against rival companies can make or break you. Loyalty is that edge that will have your company profiting and the customers returning. Frederick Reichheld’s theory, The Loyalty Effect, is one of the most useful and needed business strategies. Without loyal employees within a company, your company is destined to fail. I consider myself a very loyal person, not only at my job, but in all aspects of life. I am a manager at Maui Nix Surf Shop and every part of the job is based on loyalty such as opening the store on time, cash deposits, or staying on task with overseeing the store. I plan on becoming a computer engineer and hopefully working for a company like Google or Apple. I love their business strategy and how they allow “free time” in the workplace. Loyalty is not just given from the employees to the company, the company must also treat the employees fairly and well enough that they want to perform above and beyond of what is expected from them.

    The grass was soft and green, reserved for those who wanted to lie down or sit. A sweet aroma of flowers overflowed near by like s shinning light, but was hidden by the untrimmed bushes and wildly growing trees. Up above me was the beautiful, high noon blue sky spotted with fluffy, white clouds and airplanes flying by. I emerged into the parking lot and stopped happily as a squirrel under a tree. Hesitating to proceed anywhere further I took a few minutes to treasure the moment of silence and peace. As my girlfriend and I got out of the car to get ready for the picnic, she happened to be distracted by the water; a rhythmic ongoing resemblance of rhythm in her heart. The water was clam and beautiful in every aspect. To me she was like a wave, never stooping to catch attention or go unnoticed. Before doing anything else, we began setting up the picnic. By the time we ware done, her temptation was unbearable and was finally unable to overcome it, consequently she eagerly ran towards the water pulling me right behind her. Each step was like an imprint in my heart, a fossil that would always remain the same and special inside me forever.

    What is trust? Is trust essential for the way we live our everyday life? Trust is a quality or condition of being trustworthy; loyal; reliable. I think trust is an essential way of life because you cannot make a relationship, friendship, a business, or an organization if there is no foundation. Part of that foundation is trust and loyalty because you should be able to depend, rely, and trust others that they will do exactly what is right for them and you. Trust can be broken so quick, it is scary, because once trust is broken it is a lot harder to gain back then when you first gained trust in someone. This relates to my life because my trust with my dad was alerted going into my freshman year.

  • Camping Trip: Our Camping Trip

    1367 Words  | 3 Pages

    Unfortunately, it was a dark and cold rainy day which made it difficult with the rain soaking our clothes and all of our equipment. But aside from that, the rain didn’t seem to bother me or anyone else for that matter. Instead we had a slight appreciation for the rain, as if it was mimicking the melancholy feeling that we felt. It always seemed as if our camping trip couldn’t come soon enough, and then when it finally did arrive it was as if it was gone too soon. As the rain started to pour down we loaded everything in the car as fast as we could and we gathered ourselves inside. We watched out the back window as we drove away from the campground, seeing it dissipate in the distance. On our ride home we all felt a little nostalgic and talked about favorite memories of the trip and what we’d do next year. The drive was about 3 hours away from our house and somewhere along the way I fell asleep on Alicia’s shoulder while listening to Taylor Swift. I remember feeling as if I was still drifting in the soft waves of the water, and the thought of that relaxed me into a peaceful sleep. When I finally arrived at home I rushed into the living room where my parents were waiting on the couch to hear all about the awesome experiences I had on my trip. After that I went into my room to call Alicia, and we stayed on the phone with each other while we marked our calendars together to begin the countdown for our camping trip next

    “Why don’t you use your locker? You’re going to have back problems before you even graduate”. These are words that are repeated to me daily, almost like clockwork. I carry my twenty-pound backpack, full of papers upon papers from my AP classes. The middle pouch of my backpack houses my book in which I get lost to distract me from my unrelenting stress. The top pouch holds several erasers, foreshadowing the mistakes I will make - and extra lead, to combat and mend these mistakes. Thick, wordy textbooks full of knowledge that has yet to become engraved in my brain, dig the straps of my backpack into my shoulders. This feeling, ironically enough, gives me relief - my potential and future success reside in my folders and on the pages of my notebooks.
