Is It A Good Leader And A Role Model?

Another situation in society today is that kids are expected to follow in their parents footsteps. Some parents that own companies expect their children to take over one day without ever asking the child’s thoughts on the idea. An example of this situation is from the movie "Rudolph the Red-Nosed Reindeer". There is an elf named Hermey. Like all other elves in the North-Pole, Hermey is expected to make toys for all the children around the world. There is one problem; Hermey doesn't want to make toys. Hermey wants to be a dentist. After hearing this, the head elf gets very angry at Hermey. Hermey is known as a misfit due to his choice and he later runs away to not have to make toys anymore and to learn more about being a dentist. It is important to always ask your children what they think of certain things and what they want in life instead of just expecting or assuming what they want without their consent. Expectations put a lot of pressure on kids and it would just be easier on them to let them make their own decisions (but still guide them in the right path).

I take a look at the list of endless expectations handed to me by my parents and shredded them. Let them push those expectations onto my sister; I don’t care. If my parents wanted those things done, they should’ve tried to do it themselves. My sisters grew up spoiled. I was born to set precedents that were meant to be trampled on if they surpassed me. It may seem cruel, but this is what keeps the world spinning. Because it is a game of survival of the fittest, a crude battle royale game, only the best excel. This is the method to keep some smiling and laughing without a care in the world while others are constantly sacrificing and giving up. Some strike lucky and become the predators instead of the prey. This is why no matter where you are or whatever situation you are in, you should lift your head up and look forward for the possible future of brighter

After years of harassment, I concluded that the only way to end this torment was to change myself. I deepened my voice and regulated my actions, concealing the qualities that made me, me. For a while, it worked; the bullying had ceased, and I eventually fit in. However, after eighth grade, after I had finally managed to

It is beneficial for people in high authority to have high expectations for teens because the teens will want to achieve those expectations and it will make them more stable and emotionally ready for adult life. In the article “Tiger Moms: Is Tough Parenting Really The Answer?” Hara Estroff Marano who is the author of A Nation Of Wimps and the editor-at-large of Psychology Today magazine speaks about the benefits of raising children with strict parenting. Marano states, “ Children who have never had to test their abilities, says Marano, form into “emotionally brittle” young adults who are more vulnerable to anxiety and depression.” (Paul 4). This quote shows that high expectations is beneficial because kids who grew up with lower expectations

Authoritative figures, like parents, counselors, or teachers, are there to teach us from right from wrong and protect us from the possible mistakes one could make through the journey of life. In my journey, I’ve been blessed enough to have family that cares for my well-being and give me a roof over my head, unlike a great portion of society. They have taught me to push and exceed in any event or situation, no matter how “hard” it may seem at the time. They wouldn’t push me to do a certain thing or yell that I wasn’t doing everything I could possible do but all they simply said was, “the more you do now, the less regret you’ll have later in life, but Tara, never push yourself to impress others”. That saying will stay with me forever, because how many people can say they have parents that care but also are very lenient at the same time, I’m sure not very many. I’ve very thankful that I have my family

As a part of the human life, growing up from childhood to adulthood is the toughest time frame in a person life. As a part of growing up, most of us experience with peer pressure which make us do a lot of foolish things because we want to be able to fit in, and be a part of something. Most of us don’t want to be stand out or being different because we’re afraid being teased, or being the subject that everyone in school making fun of. This leads to many people changed their life style, and pretend to be someone that they know deep down inside that this is not who they are. Some disobey and even be disrespectful to their parents just because they want to be cool, and want to show their friends that they can be just like them.

Bullying is an aggressive behavior where someone is repeatedly and purposely causing someone else injury making them feel uncomfortable. It can be physical, hurtful words, or just certain actions. According the article “Bullying and Suicide,” it states that nearly 30 percent of students are bullies or victims of bullying, and 160,000 kids stay home from school every day because of bullying (Word Press, Par. 1). In this essay I will

Every year around forty kids will take their lives over the stress that school and parents have put on them to succeed. As a society we put too much pressure on the shoulders of our youth to succeed in all aspects of their lives, and in doing so we are causing mental and emotional harm to them. Our children are the future of this country, however, they are still children who need to grow and develop into adults. By putting a tremendous amount of pressure on students to succeed in anything and everything in their lives, we are damaging them from growing up and expanding their horizons to seek out knowledge for themselves.

School is a crucial part of a person’s life due to the amount of knowledge and successability a person might gain in their future. School can also be a place where students can interact with their fellow friends, but for others it can be a traumatizing place due to the amount of stress and also responsibility they might carry . This can be because of the stress teachers may put on the students. This can lead to students not giving their full effort on school, which will cause them to be mediocre students, and they wouldn’t be able to show their teacher the true potential they carry within themselves. These types of students are the one’s who are typically the students that aren’t successful in school. They just don’t

He impressed his father when he was little by kite fighting, but when he grew older he stopped conforming and focused on his true passion: writing. Even though he had been a victim of conformity, he was able to stand up for himself and take a hold of what he wanted to do in life. This shows that even if peer pressure dominates a person’s life, they can still turn things around and head in the right direction.

The society we live in distorts our own unique desires and goals. When in a workplace or community it puts more pressure and expectation on individuals’ goals, warping them until a point where one identifies what they truly want and breaks the mould and expectations of society to do this. Examining texts such as ‘Educating Rita’ and ‘The Devil Wears Prada’ in addition to my own personal experience will bring forth an understanding of how society affects growing up and transition into new phases of life into a larger world.

As I entered high school in Grade 9, I worried about school on how it will be difficult balancing school, family, friends, and extra-curricular activities. This all seemed impossible to me, however, as high school progressed I’ve learnt several things about people, on how we interact towards each other, and how we perceive each other for who we are. I continue to wonder why people compare each other; it’s like we’re both competing for vanities, which means utterly nothing in society. We intake everything we receive from others, making us lose our personal identity. We do not have control with ourselves; we are slaves to the system, in what we read, which formulates us to become someone else rather than ourselves.

Strong leadership is vital to the success of any business, institution, school, team, or even church. Leaders that are considered effective encompass a leadership style and qualities that work to influence and motivate their followers. Joel Osteen, an evangelical pastor from Houston, Texas is truly one of the 21st centuries most captivating leaders. So much so, that he as selected by Barbara Walters as one of her 10 Most Fascinating People of 2016 (ABC News, 2006). His appeal is a phenomenon that is unmatched by any other current leaders in his profession. Over the past 15 years he has built a church, where he ministers one of the largest and most diverse congregations in America (Romano, 2005). Aside from his 45,000 attendees at his weekly services, his sermon is broadcasted in every television market in the United States and in over 100 other nations around the world (“About Joel,” n.d.). Joel Osteen is a prime example of a compelling leader who practices an effective leadership style that resonates with people on a personal level.

The fear of not living up to someone’s expectation is a fear that most teenagers suffer especially in high school. High school you are expected to keep certain standards. Your senior year you have to perform your senior exit, make time to do good on the ACT and SAT, and search for a suitable college. Parents will apply stress on their kids and not realize that it can affect their kids in a bad way, but in the end helps in a good way. As a high school senior, I have experienced this situation first hand.
