Getting Emotional This Time : Who Is A Companion?

For various reasons the main characters of The Glass Castle and Siddhartha lacked companionship throughout their lives. Companions are vital for people of all ages. They are how we identify social norms, they give us a support system, but most of all they influence our behavior. Both Jeannette and Siddhartha were heavily influenced by the absence of a friend by their side.

Every one of you have the ability to become anything you want, just make sure whatever you choose, makes you happy. Don’t become stagnant and not produce a product. But whatever you decide to become, make sure you make it your own. Define it, master it, and leave it better than how you found it. You are the kids of great parents that have sacrificed the world to give you a loving home and the tools/ability to concur every challenge. Your father is my personal hero and inspiration. When I look at your parents, I admire the

The majority of individuals follow in the footsteps that their parents set out for them. Trying to figure out who and what an individual wants to be can be difficult, often when others want that them to go down a certain path. Research shows individuals strive to work in the field as their parents if it catches their eye. Nonetheless when an individual reaches a certain age to finally decide what they want in the long run it's their choice whether to continue what their parents aspired for them to be.

My mom has always supported my life choices even if she does not condone them. But know comes the time in my life where I need to make choice and decisions on my own. As much as I hate to say it I'm growing up and my parents are not always going to be there to help me through my life. Even though both careers are a passion I have dealing with critical thinking and a creative mind, I have decided I want to be a homicide detective. Even though a criminologist is a wonderful job in dealing with psychology it did not have enough substance to keep me happy in my job for the rest if my life. Now that I have made a very important choice in my life by myself I feel as more challenges come my way I will handle them by myself, It’s time to grow up and make my own life

It is a normal phenomenon that people will be affected by various reasons when they decide to make a choice. Unfortunately, this situation looks like more common in females, especially in young females. For example, some girls that graduated from high school want to choose math or physics as their college major while their parent force them choose education or art as their major, even as their job in future. At least half of girls would follow their parents’ decisions because it is generally. One mother would follow her child’s demanding; one wife would agree her husband’s points; one daughter would listen to parents.

The world is a deadly, unforgiving, often cosmically ironic place and people become all consumed by it. They lose sight of their goals. They lose sight of their dreams. Mentally, people struggle to maintain sanity in their game of life that has no set rules. Of Mice and Men happens to portray the inequality between dreams of people and what can actually be attained. The setting in Of Mice and Men is a perfect example of how unequal the ideals and the realities are. The lush fields of California that seem bountiful, beautiful, and full of plenty severely contrast the economic situation of the time period in Of Mice and Men. Migrant workers work in an

Family or friends can mislead you from your passions and if you decide to follow them it could distinctively affect your perspective on life. I feel that you should do whatever your heart desires. If that means leaving you peers dissatisfied then they did not see what was best for you. I believe you should accompany your devotions for the pleasure of yourself. My mom always says to me, “Maddy, its ok that you don’t know exactly what your going to do in life, just remember to always do what your passionate about.” The rationality behind this is that she wants the best for her daughter; she wants me to follow my dreams no matter what anyone tells me. If I were to let other people tell me not to accomplish my hobbies I would end up being miserable and feel robbed of happiness. My cousin let influences direct her otherwise. She wanted to be an interior designer but everyone was saying “ its too expensive to go to a good school, you waited too long to get in to the courses.” This is an example of how your surroundings can influence your determination to chase your passions. A personal citation I have of the unwanted outcome of outside influences is when I was in grade ten. I wanted to tryout for the volleyball team, but my friends were telling me that it would distract me from my studies and I wasn’t cut out for it. I recall one of my “friends” saying, “I don’t even think

You already tried to gain companionship through interests and activities, but all of them were unrequited and ended up to be short-lived. You tried the internet, but nobody paid mind. You couldn’t get across no matter what. Everyone else was in a paradise of sorts while you stayed inside the small rowboat, huddled in a thin blanket

A popular saying about companionship is “True love is forever”. Another saying that pertains more to these stories is, “Rare is as true love, true friendship is rarer”. Friendship is a state of mutual trust and

The opinions of our parents and friends or our ethics can also make our view different. I’m from a “cage-free” family which means that my parents are not strict, and they gave me a lot space to develop myself. But it doesn't mean that they don't teach me things. Of course I have common sense like I know what is right to do and what is wrong, I believe that common sense I have is from my parents. I am influenced deeply by how my parents look at things. For example, many people want to have a degree from a famous school even they don't like their majors. It’s important for them to earn a degree and make good amount money in the future even they won’t like their jobs. But for me, what I like to do is more important. I’d rather doing something that I like even I won’t make a lot money. I don't care if my major is hard to find a job or it’s hard to earn a degree, I will still give it a try with a little chance. This kind of risking spirit is defiantly from my dad. Because he's businessman and he always have to take certain risks. He told me that job is job but career is different, you have to like what you're doing for your career otherwise you will not be happy. He also said that I am young and it’s important that I give myself a chance. with

Additionally regularly the more companions you have can frame the kind of individual you are, for example, how you act. In the event that you have more companions you are for the most part a more open individual and it is simple for you to speak with others. In the event that you have less companions you frequently turn out to be to a greater degree a modest individual and mind your own business all the more regularly. In any case, your companions help assemble your ethical character and your own

I believe having a significant other cannot and will not complete an individual. A relationship is made up of a union between two

With those characteristics, one also becomes a friend, a companion that everyone aspires to have by their side.

They teach me how I should serve and love others, by setting an excellent example of kindliness and enthusiasm. A family atmosphere is one of cooperation, support, and reassurance. Therefore, they give me strength and guidance to do everything well, without regret. My friends are extremely similar; they are lights in the dark and constant helpers in difficult circumstances. They, too, often help point me in the right direction, and offer suggestions to better me in any way they can.

Choosing a right career path can be tough. Especially, when the parents are involved. Parents want their children to have a better life in the future so they want their children to be educated. When they are successfully graduate from the college they can get a high paying job and earn much more than their parents. However, does everyone listen and follow their parents’ decisions about the career? What happen if kids didn’t want what their parents told them to do? Is there a compromise and or one side needs to give in? It was a tough decision for me too. There was a lot of pressure on me. I was hesitated and somehow worried when my parents were involved, but I knew what I want for my career.
