Comparative Essay Idris Jones (1048 words) Father-son relationships are vital to a healthy family lifestyle. In any culture around the world, the bond between a father and his son is one of the strongest and key to that cultures identity. In the movie, The Kite Runner by Marc Foster, the father-son relationship between Amir (Son) and Baba (Father) is one that has many levels to it.

I could see in his eyes that he was excited for me; as excited as he would have been if he had made the shot. The rest of the afternoon was spent preparing the buck, talking about the shot with family and friends. At sixteen I had accomplished this on my own; taken the necessary steps to practice out of respect for the hunt, to prevent an animal from suffering. This had been the “perfect shot,” a moment that would never be repeated except in my memories. There will be other shots that hit with the same precision, but the moment will never be the same.
Also after his presidency, Roosevelt took a yearlong safari in Africa; later he helped map a river in the Amazon (Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery, 2010). In conclusion, Theodore Roosevelt is a great example of an American Dream; he lived his life to the fullest and did what he wanted. That is what I think the American Dream is about; doing what you want to become great. I do not think you have to become a big star or be looked upon by others as great. It is something that you earn by making your own way

The elders made them compete as early as early 6 years old. They wrestled against each other and were forced into rugged games. This was how they trained for battled.
In first grade I joined an organization that would influence and shape me in every facet of my life. At that time I had no idea that that Boy Scouts of America would become my education, serve as my passion, and form one of my largest social circles. I progressed through the ranks, serving as every major youth leadership position, earning leadership, rank, and religious awards, and even developed a youth leadership course for the University of Scouting. I got involved with Scouting’s national honor society, the Order of the Arrow, and worked for five years on our council’s summer camp staff. When I received the Order’s Vigil Honor (highest national honor) in April 2006, I spent the night in the woods, alone, keeping a fire going while challenging
Seeing and learning how he survives wherever he’s located at really makes you realize how good of a critical thinker he is. To be able to survive in a remote location, you have to be able to think on your feet and be able to do it quickly.

As the saying goes, ‘Once an Eagle, always an Eagle.’ Boy Scouts has taught me to always do my best in everything I do, to be a trustworthy citizen and to always try to make myself, and those around, better. One of the greatest achievements of my life, and something that has changed my future for the better was attaining the rank of Eagle Scout at the age of 14. Striving for the rank of Eagle Scout has helped me hone my leadership skills and has helped me to succeed in all my endeavors. To me, the Eagle rank is not just something that can be earned or achieved; it is a symbol of how you should act and react. The award symbolizes someone that is always there for others, is always ready to strive for the best, and someone that is ready to take
I am a student that has had several different career goals but none of them seemed too exciting, but then after my first year of college I worked at the Wisconsin Lions Camp in Rosholt, WI and my perspective on what I wanted to do with my life changed to where it has stayed until today. The camp serves youth with disabilities including youth who are deaf and hard of hearing, blind and visually impaired, as well as youth with intellectual disabilities, type 1 diabetes, and epilepsy.
