I know that if I do change my thinking, I can actually have a better life, start my day without sadness or depression. For instance, depression makes people to sit at one place and think about stuffs all day, however it is not going to make it better. They must go out and do something. After watching the video, I really want to change my way of thinking. Yet, it always easy to say but hard to do it.
Even though they are thankful for Mr. Lee’s generosity they strive to hide their appreciation in order to keep him from feeling superior.

They end their day of rafting with smiles on their faces. The next day Ysabel wakes up mad at her father while Justin feels organized. It gets worse when her dad gets her and Justin’s breakfast wrong. In the therapy session Ysabel says in anger, “It’s not my fault you can’t tell Justin and me apart.” This shows anger at a little mistake on her
In hopes of John’s safe journey, they enjoyed dinner together to pass the time. His appearance only led to the existence of an equivalent storm within the characters. His sly personality, along with his charm that Ann found irresistible, led to the betrayal of an honorable man. Steven’s carefree attitude acts as the chaos within the relationship
I was came across one old high school friend and asked them why I always have to be the one to find out how she’s doing. She gave me the same answer most people give “I’ve been busy.” I then wrote “I see why you don’t have that many friends left.” I acted as an ego buster because I made her feel bad about herself. I was aware that it would make her feel bad in some way but I never really paid attention to the fact that it would affect her ego in a negative way.

By breaking this social norm of responding when being talked to, not only showed me who my true friends were, but it also put me in a lot of bad predicaments.
This is what motivated me to want to change myself and become a better person before it was too late. I started getting good grades in school and realized what I needed to do my best to get away and experience life outside of my community. My family is the reason why I want to help people. I think that if the right people were in place when my family has made this life changing decision they wouldn’t have slipped up so bad. I see a lot of people that have a lot of talent to reach new heights but they allow childish ways and mistakes keep them from reaching their full potential.
There were many times when Phineas did something wrong and simply talked his way out of it. When the boys skipped dinner, which was not allowed, they were confronted about it. Phineas told a lie about getting ready for the war. These lies came to him naturally, and being outgoing certainly helped being a smooth-talker. On page 18, Gene admitted his envy towards Phineas.
I was so embarrassed that I swear I could feel my face getting red from all the “Crashers” laughing at my situation. I went home with my aunt, knowing that I was going to be grounded for a few months, and now I wonder if ditching was even worth all the
