What does patient mean? Patient means that you are understanding and tolerant of others. Having patience is a major asset that I think everyone should have in life. Sometimes in our lives especially mine, we have had times where having patience is not the easiest thing. Sometimes we react in the opposite way and it turns bad but, having patience can resolve all of the problems. As asked above, I know a story about someone who has had the most enormous amount of patience.

To begin, the person that I am going to write about is my mom, who has an abundance of patience. First of all, I am a eighteen year old girl, living in Worland Wyoming and may be a little boy crazy. Also, I am involved in almost every sport I can participate in which makes me very competitive and fit. Being very involved in school and sports makes me be a very social person and I love to hangout with my friends, and stay busy all the time.

    For a person like me majoring in Computer Science, this talk highlighted the importance of presenting ideas to the world. Chris in his professional world is certainly a genius roboticist, but in this talk, he has to approach a wider audience, to show the product of his effort to the world. So, he used different rhetorically effective approaches like metaphors, contrasts to illustrate how self-driving can make commutes safe, and be usable for a versatile group of people. Moreover, people like me majoring in technical field do not take subjects like English seriously, as they won’t directly get involved in the fields of English in the future. But, what I have learnt from this talk is that, English as a subject if taken seriously can change the

    I, first of all, am not that picky when it comes to a spouse, as long as I am attracted to them as they are to me. I would want my significant other to have good cleaning abilities. I would want her to have that, because I’m not very tidy, but maybe in a couple years I will be able to start being a little bit cleaner. She would also be willing to withstand long car rides or plane trips, mostly because I enjoy traveling. Last, but certainly not least, she would have to be patient. The sole reason for why she would have to be patient, is because I plan on having a kid or two of my own. Then again, she would have to be willing to have the child.

    For the first few months, it wasn’t obvious to those around her that she had developed this addiction. When it finally became obvious to my father, he confronted her with treatment options that she continually refused. He turned to alcohol to escape the stresses of living with an addict. By this time I was three and my mother had turned to harder drugs. Life went on with my parents continuing to struggle with their addiction. The stress that this put on both of them slowly turned them both into abusive people. They began abusing each other, which eventually escalated to every night when my father came home from the bar and they would scream, throw dishes, and even hit each other. Just once, I decided that if I came downstairs and asked them to stop they just might realize how much listening to them fighting damaged my life, but instead of being understanding, my mother picked me up by my hair and threw me into our large living room window, I later found out that she was high on heroin that night. In November of 1999, my parents found out they were expecting another child and everything seemed to calm down for a

    Whenever I am faced with a problem and have to make a decision, I know that my mother will be behind me one-hundred percent no matter what avenue I choose to travel down is. It is a great feeling to know that someone is always going to support me in anything I choose to do. It alleviates much of the stress that comes along with making decisions. For example, when I could not make a decision and choose which college I was going to, a community college or a university, my mother reassured me that she would be happy with the choice I made, as long as it made me happy. Having my mother tell me that alleviated much of the pressure I felt to pick a college. I did not want to disappoint her, and knowing that I would not, made the decision a lot easier. ...
