Have you ever felt that you were a horrible person, or your life was just not going well. I have many times in my short fifteen years on this Earth. When I think what I would want to have a somewhat perfect life I would want to be attractive, have money, and get straight A's. That sounds like a typical teenagers dreams and I really wish it could happen. Maybe one day I might be perfect but I am pretty sure being perfect is different for everyone. I think I look okay, I mean I have boys that look at me and think I look pretty good. But personally I don't like the way I look at all. I want to get braces to fix my gap in my teeth because it just bugs me that it is there. I have tried so hard to work out and lose weight because I have friends that are skinny and able to wear two piece bathing suits and I can't. I look fat when I do, so I avoid situations that has to do with showing my skin. Having a perfect body you would not worry about people looking at you like your fat, you would know they just like the way you look. …show more content…
Of coarse I think about money because my family is okay with money but our family is growing and the money is getting tighter.
I want to be able to buy my family a bigger house so we have rooms for all six of us. That is a lot for a three bedroom house and I do not like sharing my room at all. I hear my moms talking about money all the time about how people charging something that we did not agree on. When she gets her paycheck they take out things that were not necessary. I of course get worried because I am the oldest and I have to help my mom take care of all the kids So, if I had money we would be okay and I wouldn't worry about it as much as I do
now. My moms have told me time and time again that education is important. I can't count how many times they have told me. So I have worked my butt off to get A's or even B's so I could make my moms proud. I have but I want to get straight A's because I want to study at a great university. My future lies on my grades and I want to have a better life for my future kids and I don't want to worry about things. My education has become very important to me and I really want to succeed in my education. Having a exemplary life is everyone's dream and I am one of those people. Having a good body, money, and good grades is my perfect life. These things are major to me because that means I could possibly live a carefree and worry free life. That is just what everyone wants and it something that I try to pursue. One day they might happen it just takes time and a lot of motivation.
Where I thought Money, fame, glory and power where my goals. I dreamed of becoming the CEO of Northwestern Memorial Hospital. Moreover, the reason was that currently their CEO makes 14.5 million a year. Growing up I always assumed making more money would make me happy. As I grew up and started, working the goal was always to make more money. For instance, my first job I made $15 a day. I would tell myself if I only made $30 a day, I would be able to do this or that. As the years progress I went on to tell myself if I only made XX amount of dollars my life would get better. Now that I am making a decent amount of money now I can say okay life is better but it is not the money it is my lifestyle and my son that has enhance my
In the media and everyday life we notice some people get special treatment by the way they look undermining how we see ourselves. This plays with the mind showing us all of the imperfection we have because we don’t fall under the perfect shape category. “We’re not even close to objective when it comes to judging our own looks” (Flora-442). According to Flora, we are the ones that judge ourselves more harshly than other. Everyone is beautiful and unique one way or another but in the mirror we see someone totally different. Usually friends and family see the marks or imperfection as characteristics each person has, which makes them unique. The first step in changing our view is to see yourself beautiful. Stop comparing to other, everyone is unique but if we see or think that we are not beautiful then that’s the image we will portrait. In a way it has to do with confidence, how confident are people of each other. It doesn’t have to be physical but there is other ways to make people beautiful. Flora explains this is a mental problem that each person has, whether we want or not. “Our brains have a build-in hot-or-not meter that never stops gathering data” (Flora...
In today society, women are obsess with having a specific body type to make others find them attractive. They want to feed the society’s body type expectations. But what is a perfect body? Does it even exist? However, advertising, boyfriends, and family members often make women feel that skinny bodies are perfect bodies.
How a person perceives their body is influenced by what it looks like to them and what it looks like to others. Our society teaches us through media and social pressure that body image is important. Feeling attractive is an important part of self worth and for many, feeling attractive means matching a certain ideal appearance. Most of us will never be able to look like this ideal, but the message we get is that we risk social failure if we do not try hard enough. When we believe this message we may feel incompetent and depressed and have low self-esteem because we cant meet impossible standards of appearance.
I am an undocumented student at UC Davis. When I am asked a simple question such as, "describe your personal experiences", I ask myself: Where do I begin?
The idea of perfection is a topic that I refuse to believe. Everyone is born with certain flaws that can be depicted throughout one’s life, these blemishes fall under the categorizations of strengths and weaknesses. Since there is always a way to get better, one must be able to identify their own personal benefits and drawbacks in order to better themselves. The person I am today is because I constantly looked for methods to improve myself. The future I am molding also consists of mending the little things about myself that still do not satisfy my personal goals and requirements.
Working a part time job of only 20 hours a week, provides me enough money for occasional food with friends and gas money. But there is something extremely powerful about money. It hurts, a lot. Watching the money from my bank account slowly decrease as my gas tank is filling up, makes me sob. It's hard to see 40$ go away in 30 seconds. That’s four hours of work vanished into thin air. If only I could trade my smile for free gas, that would be ideal. I wish things were different and people weren’t so depended on money. Living expenses are absurdly high now. The average cost of a house in America is 188,000 dollars, while the average home income is $57,000. That would take a combined income of the house four years to pay off if they put their entire income into the home. Things are too expensive because the demand for money is too
The number of times per day that comments are made about how people wish they looked a different way, even just around my school, is outrageous. In places including schools, the workplace, the household, and many more, people are constantly wishing they had what others around them have. They never stop to recognize and appreciate who they are or realize that they are that way for a reason. I wish everyone could realize that perfection is a hoax brought to us by the media to promote products and, for the long term, low self-esteem. There is certainly beauty in every single human being, no matter what they look like. All shapes, forms, sizes, and colors are equally beautiful, and if someone fails to see that, then they are missing the true meaning of beauty - loving oneself and not judging others based on looks. Everyone is unique and the people in this society need to stop wishing that they looked like other people, especially the models in photo shopped images, because it simply cannot be
I am not one to be giving this kind of advice because its hard for me to see myself how others see me. Even thinking about that makes me cringe because I’m afraid of how others see me. But there is ways that I cope with that. One of them is believing that I am loved and cherished by so many people. Another is knowing that the ones that put us down, are secretly hurting inside and just need escape from that hurt. Next time you look in the mirror just think of one person that has honestly told you you’re beautiful or handsome. Or even one person that said they love you. Sadly if that has never happened, let me do the honors in saying your\ are so beautiful or you are so handsome, and it gets easier. Don’t ever let anyone tell you any
Think about what would make you happy right now. Most of us would say something that relates to money or something luxurious we see on TV shows. Maybe a new car will make you happy or the house of your dreams. We all have goals and aspirations. From a young age, we are programmed to want certain things.
I am by myself wearing my blue jeans and an old flannel shirt. It is cool outside but I decided to leave my gloves at home, feeling comfortable with my warm shirt and my sturdy boots.
The journey of life follows a predetermined pattern; we evolve from needing influence and guidance to finally reaching that point where our lives are up to us. I consider myself very lucky up to this point in my journey. Some people become sidetracked and wind up on a far different course than initially planned, but the detours I made have only assisted in embellishing the individual instead of devouring it.
Hopefully by taking these steps, my money would grow and I could live comfortably for the rest of my
Does anybody know what the perfect woman is going to look like? Is she fat and tall or thin and short? Why are girls and women across the world judged on how they look, and what they wear, but males are not? Why do they show us pictures on hot men and women everywhere? Why do females fell they must put on tons of makeup and be gorgeous so society can accept them? There are major problems with our society today, and looks are a major role in our feeling and outlook on things. One of the biggest conflict society has made in our minds is how men and woman should look. It is everywhere! If you look at movies, magazines, and television shows, most of the people on them appear to be thin or good looking. Many men and women everywhere get the idea of they need to look like the models that are shoved into our faces. Most female models today are even becoming thinner just to reach the ideal body, and it is causing them to become sicker and destroy their body. According to Olds, 72% of girl said that models influence their idea of the perfect body shape (Olds 67). The media sends message eve...
I never really thought about where my life was going. I always believed life took me where I wanted to go, I never thought that I was the one who took myself were I wanted to go. Once I entered high school I changed the way I thought. This is why I chose to go to college. I believe that college will give me the keys to unlock the doors of life. This way I can choose for myself where I go instead of someone choosing for me.
