Compare and Contrast
Life’s Maturity In life I face situations that cause me to adjust to different things. I learn more when I am away from home. Being near home is so much easier than being away from home. When I am near home I can easily drive to see my family, but when I am away. I have to wait. When it was time to go off, I had to make a choice of begin away, off to college or being near home. No matter how far away or near I am to my family, I can always talk to my family, love my family, and meet new people. Talking to my family is good because it brings us closer together and allows me to have fun with the family. Talking and having fun with the family shows us how much love we have for each other and how close we are. If I am near home or away, I can always meet new people. I may see a person I never saw before, converse with them, and become their friend. Being near home has greater aspects than being far away. When I am near home I can sleep in my own bed, enjoy my mother’s cooking, and just enjoy my family. When I am near I can sleep in my own bed that I am used to. When I am far away the bed takes time to get use to and it is not as comfortable as the bed at home. Enjoying my mother’s good cooking is also an important aspect. When I am away it is hard to adjust to food that is not prepared by my mom. I have eaten it all my life, so the taste of other food cannot compete with my mom’s. When I am near home

    One significant experiance in my life has been my dad being in the Millitary. My dad was in the Millitary for a short time of one year before he decided it wasnt for him. But in that one year we moved two times. We moved from my hometown of Anacortes Washington to California. I started school and things werent that bad, I made friends and had a park right across the street from my house! life was good. But then we had to move again, to Arizona. We moved from sea side California to the Arizona Dessart. This is where I was really challanged, I didnt make friends as easy as the first move. We moved from a spacious town house with a park to a tiny appartment with no backyard. I distanced myself from my parents and everyone else in my family, I…

    My first reason why family is important to my life is because they have always been there for me. Many of my peers succeed at certain sports or even various classes like English or Calculus. Although, I did struggle with my other activities and curriculum classes, family has always been there. Throughout middle school and high school, I competed with my friend for captain of the soccer team. I didn’t beat him until eighth grade when my hard work finally paid off. Because of this, I now realize how dedication and persistence can help someone achieve one’s goals. If I never decided to join the soccer team and compete for first captain, I wouldn’t have had the opportunity to challenge myself and gain the skills and characteristics that would benefit me throughout the rest of my life, if it had not been for my family pushing me to excel.…

    I love meeting new people and I enjoy having friends from all over but going to different schools every other year was a harder task. I have moved to quite a few places like Georgia, Hawaii, Fayettville NC, and so on. These were just the most memorable places. Being born here in Morehead City, I had a much different life than when I had to live on base. Well, living on base can be nice, sometimes, but it’s really crowded because the houses are connected usually. So when I came home to where I was born, here, it was nice to have our own space.…

    I've been realizing that I need to keep connections with my family and really be there for them just like they are for me. For example, my sister is going to college next year so she won’t be around for long. I want to visit frequently because she means alot to me. The same thing goes for my other sister, she is now 25 and is living on her own. I keep in contact by texting her and making plans once in awhile. There is nobody else I can laugh louder with than my two sisters, they bring me so much joy and happiness.…

    After recording my sleep for a whole week I came to some realizations that I should probably go to bed a little earlier. Though in an regular week, full of classes, exams, and other events I was able to average a little under 8 hours. There were nights that I was only able to squeeze in a little under 6 hours. I was able to go home that weekend, so you can see that I obviously sleep better there than I do in my dorm bed, I was able to catch up on sleep and get way over the recommended amounts. I do think that I get a decent amount of sleep when you average it out, but when you start to look at it separately the nights that I was only allowed 5 or so hours were really rough days for me.…

    If I knew that living here is not that big of a dramatic change, I could have kept my calm and adapt with ease. I kept comparing, longing for, what I assumed, the comfortable life I always had, and not making the best with what I currently had. Since proximity is the main contributor to the effects on my lifestyle, I had to take a more circuitous route for my necessities, like with the grocery shopping.…

    I learned that sometimes it is a good thing to go out of your comfort zone. Because when you go out of your comfort zone you can find new things. You also can do more things because you are going outside of your normal routine. Another thing that happens when you go outside of your comfort zone you can get more things done. So it is always better to go outside of your comfort zone then to stay in it.…

    I like to travel; experiencing different cultures and customs is always refreshing. I still remember my Europe trip, I tasted foods that I had never experienced, the Eiffel Tower was vivid, and the Leaning Tower of Pisa was majestic. Traveling to a foreign country always excites me. However, moving one's roost to a foreign country is a different story. It felt very frustrating to adapt to the new circumstances. I was no exception. After moving to several other countries, I felt tired and scared of moving. I strongly protested to my parents about moving to America, yet I had no choice but follow them. At that time, I did not know that moving to America would be the most important turning point of my life. The reason that I moved to different…

    Getting over a thousand miles away from the house I grew up in has really allowed me to develop my own values and become my own person. I am no longer afraid to express myself and will stand my own in small political debates with my father and other conservatives. My parents are entirely happy with my views on the world especially on religion but luckily I have a mother who has stuck up for me when it comes to letting me be myself and develop my own values. Also being this far away has forced me to grow up more and distance myself from the immaturity that was high school and my hometown. I really feel as though it was the best decision I have ever made in my life. I never even got homesick nor have I regretted my decision for a minute. Being allowed to be my own person entirely has made my life much happier and I feel as though I am much better…

    The Importance of Sleep

    As you may know there is much research that has been done on the subject matter of sleep as there most certainly will be in the future. We are becoming more and more aware of the positive effects of getting enough sleep as well as the negative effects of lack of sleep. The article I chose entitled “Sleep Thieves” written by freelance Meryl Davids Landau, explains how some sleep studies which focused on children may help us to understand why it can be so difficult at times for our children to “just settle down.” Most parents know the relief of the first time their infant sleeps through the night. What they may not consider is the likelihood of a childhood of sleep disturbances caused by unassuming things such as the types of foods we feed to them or playing an educational game on the computer before bedtime. When I my children were approximately 6 years and younger my friends and family used to call me “The Sleep Warden” , and that I was. We (yes, “we”) had a strict bedtime and routines that we followed and we were all quite happy and well rested! No, you would not catch us out shopping with screaming kids at midnight. I always felt so bad for those kids.. they were obviously so exhausted and absolutely miserable. With that said this article has validated my neuroticism as well as opened my eyes to some things I hadn’t considered since I have relaxed a little as a retired Sleep Warden. One of the most interesting things I found was about Sleep Apnea. Basically, sleep apnea occurs when a person stops breathing several times while they are asleep. Not only is this quite dangerous- you aren’t breathing!- but it also disrupts sleep causing the person to miss out on obtaining the very essential deep sleep. To take it a step further, children that suffer from sleep apnea often also suffer from behavioral problems and learning disabilities, not to mention high blood pressure. I would think that this is probably underdiagnosed just due to lack…
