The other day I was driving home pondering life. The traffic was horrendous that day, being it was rush hour and Friday. I had decided to make a detour and bypass the traffic. Unfortunately, I was stuck at a red light. To the right of me was a homeless man asking for some change. I thought of the opportunities I had today, and what he had today as well. Almost naturally I reached into my backpack, searched deep to discover my wallet and pulled what change I had left. As the homeless man walked by my car, he didn’t look at me, as if he assumed a child wouldn’t hand him some change. I remained determined, however, as I fluttered my arms up and down. He spotted me with the money in my hand and a surprised look on his face. He accepted the change, …show more content…
I do too have my bad days just as often as good ones. I define that I am blessed. I am appreciative. I am grateful. The basis of the Declaration of Independence consists of the thought that everyone needs life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness. Many around the world cannot meet these standards. Gratefully, mine exceed them. I have the ability to sleep with a roof above my head, food on the table, and am exceptional education. No matter how rough the rough gets, whether you get a bad grade on a test or your crush doesn’t like you back, it could always be …show more content…
Growing up, times were hard. I moved around a couple times, and never built the foundation of a childhood. In school, kids made fun of me for how I looked and acted. I wasn’t getting good enough grades. But I still made it out and transferred into high school. School was getting harder and more social things mattered. I established a good friend group and continued to live my life. I met this girl and built feelings for her, but in the long run, it dint work out. Because of the occasion of this happening, my friends make fun of me to this day. It was become a characteristic of mine, a trait. At the beginning it was tough, taking in the insults a dozen times a day, but I learned to laugh it off. I promised myself I wouldn’t let it get to me. I pressured myself to focus on the positives, as there was much more. School started shaping up with my grades, things at home were great, and no other social errors were occurring. I would never refer to myself as “uncheery” because of all of this. Through this, I learned to be patient and let things come my way. This in the long run built my appreciation and happiness. The most important elements in life consist of my parents and friends. My parents for teaching me everything I know and raising me. My friends because they keep me away from my parents. Without these guys, I wouldn’t be able to communicate my feelings or get my daily dose outside air. Today’s society is based
Personal Declaration of Independence It seems that the time of cutting specific things out of my life has come around, certain reasons have gave me reason to believe that it is a need not a want, and this is not a plea but a declaration. I want to cut off all friends that destroy dreams by smoking, drinking, and making bad choices in general. There is no benefit or good reason to keep them around if they’re just going to hold me back. In that case I’d also like to declare that I will be leaving my neighborhood.

The Declaration of Independence was written as a rallying call, to the colonists so they could band together and end the imperial rule enforced by Great Britain.

One day, he sit on the freezing sidewalk, desperately looking for someone’s help. I walked to him and gave him two dollars. I thought that he would say something grateful to me after he pocketed the money. However, instead of saying thanks, he told me that he wanted me to buy him a twenty-dollar jacket to keep warm. I was a little bit angry and said no to him.
On March 23, 1775 , Patrick Henry expressed his opinion to the Virginia Convention during a crisis in the American Colonies.

I was selling shoes to a kid named Great Fire. He was drinking tea at the time. He had 1 dollar and wanted a new pair of church shoes . My store was at the the corner market in Boston and was one of the best clothing stores in Boston. After I was done with Great fire, he left with his new church shoes.
To this day, the Declaration of Independence has been around for 241 years stating principles that today’s Government should uphold. Although, this brings up the phenomenon of how well is our Government upholding those principles. First, those principles are that all men are created equal, the people have basic rights that cannot be taken away, the Government gets its’ power from the people, and the people have the right to alter or abolish the Government if they don’t protect the rights of the people. Personally, I believe that the Government isn’t upholding the principles effectively. July 26, 2017.
Working at Dunkin’ Donuts may not appear to have a bright side, and it may always smell like a mixture of grease and coffee. And I might be perpetually sticky every day before the sunrises, but at least I get to see the sunrise. At least I have money to buy food for myself, like the speaker in the story. Occasionally I have so much money I buy things I don’t even really need, like that newspaper the speaker bought and neither of them read. But I realized I’m blessed even though I have a job that happens at seemingly inhuman hours, and that giving back is an important part of life.

Anthony once expressed, “Independence is happiness.” The Declaration of Independence declares the inalienable rights guaranteed to each and every American. “We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal, that they are endowed by their Creator with certain unalienable Rights, that among these are Life, Liberty and the pursuit of Happiness…”(Jefferson). When he or she makes reference to the term independence, its meaning can be interpreted in two different ways. The most common interpretation is the meaning of freedom.
“Write about how your 7th-great grandfather, John Morton, signed the Declaration of Independence,” my mom nags while brainstorming this question. “That's not a quirk!” I shout back. Quirks aside, the one most suitable is my tendency since birth to be a perfectionist. In pre-school, I arranged crayons in rainbow color order before allowing myself to draw.
Originally, there were 13 colonies that declared independence from England and formed the United State of America. In the Proclamation of 1763, they said that they would not cross the Appalachian Mountains. After the War of 1812, the British abandoned their forts in the West and more and more people moved into the West. As people moved west, our country began to grow into the vast nation we have today.

My Declaration of Independence When in the course of human events, it becomes necessary to completely abolish my doubt. I will not let the pressure consumed by doubt suppress me from living my life. Doubt has already altered my life so much but I will not give in anymore. I hold these truths to be self-evident that as a person my life should not be delayed because the doubt adapted by me and the people around me.
so I had to take extreme measures. I never had much growing up when i was young, no one really like me for me. All I had was my looks. So when I found out someone was prettier than me it felt like she was trying to take apart of me away. I was so lonely growing up, so as I got older I vowed that
“I said to myself, ‘thank you, Lord.’” Then he paid for the breakfast he ordered, left a tip, pushed his car to the nearest gas station and left town. Then it dawned on him, nobody dropped the money. But Horn had helped him out in a way that would not embarrass him. “Right then, I made a promise,” I said, “Lord, if you ever put me in a position to help other people, I will do it.”
