I can relate to this in my own life as a student in fifth grade. There are many times when my friends and I argue about being right or wrong. This happens during gym class and recess when we are playing dodge ball or elimination. We are always fighting about who is out of the game or not or who to pick on your team or not. At the end of the day, I would say to my friends, “if we keep fighting it will ruin the fun so lets just move on and not worry about who is right.” In school, it is easier to be around friends that are more like you but there are people who are not always like you. There have been many times where my friends wouldn’t want to play with someone because of the way they dressed or acted. This just makes it more difficult because you need to choose who to …show more content…

Writing Benefits Essay

Writing Benefits I’ve read several books; the first one when I was 10 years old, but I never wrote a summary, synthesis, or a review about them. According to Edmund Burke, reading without writing is the same as eating without digesting. I have a lot to digest! I like the thought that writing is helpful to enhance perception, concept, and relationship with others. Although I received pretty good grades in my school essays, reflecting on my writing was never an easy task for me. Because Portuguese…
