Sixteen Years Analysis

1122 Words5 Pages

Sixteen Years down and who knows how many more to go....
Stuck in this world when you are different it is a problem, and it is so normal to conform.
Ever since I was a child playing in play school I was free, I could do what I want, be who I wanted to be and most of all not be judged or pretend to be someone who I am not.
Sixteen years later I find it frightfully difficult to try and find that freedom, try and be, well, me again.
During school you are taught to follow rules. You are taught to how to be the person you are expected to be and how people want you to be, we are so ignorant to the fact that we are so easily manipulated by the people who claim they love,care and want us to excel in life but where are I?
I am stuck, stuck in this …show more content…

I was never taught. I was never taught to be my self. From the good old early day 's I was taught how to be like the other children, how to play like the other children, how to think,how to learn, how to BE like the other children.. and this is very tragic you might say, but I was taught no other way.
It is so hard to have come to that realization that these past years have been such a waste of time, it is so sad to come to the conclusion that I am not who I am...
This past year has been of self actualization. The year has been very eventful too. I have grown up. I came to the realization of where am I going with my life.
With my school and family breathing down my neck once again trying to “help” me, I said “No”. I said no to everyone. I stood up and said Fuck it. I am Ari Blumenfeld. I am not the little boy who once was. I am a young and ever-maturing man. I am no longer the one following, I am the one being followed. My so called friends ? Lets just say what was, was. I am true to my self I am the ONLY one who can change me. I can obtain all the advice I want to no avail. The ironic part is that I am the one who gives advice to my friends and family and yet I never take my own. I always tell my friends not to care what other people say about them, yet I do the exact

    The first time I ever experienced freedom was when I came to America. Sometimes freedom ain 't really for all, you still have to follow all rules, and obey your parents. The word *Freedom* means to me is that you may have the right to do what you think is right, and you don’t really have to be one of those people out there that have no right. Even if you don’t have any right you can always dream, and experienced from the people around you, and your friends. When people always tell me what’s right, or wrong, that annoys me.

    Mr. Higgins, First I want to thank you and the rest of the staff for organizing the intervention this morning.

Brophy has dramatically changed my life farther than any school could have and changed the way I think and carry myself between freshman year and now.

    H. L. Mencken wrote “the average man does not want to be free. He simply wants to be safe.” I agree with this quote because of the deeper meaning it has behind it. In today’s society, people do not seem to have ambitions or dreams that they want to pursue. A lot of people settle with a job that pays just enough to make a living or they do not go beyond their limits to get a higher education to be able to make more money.
