Discussion Question

After high school Juniors sister Mary didn't attend college or pursue her life long dream. Her dream was she gave up on writing romantic novels.  Some things that cause people to give up on their  dreams are not staying motivated or having a support system. If you are not motivated that feeling can cause you to believe your dream is joke and are not capable of doing it.

A good friend is a person who you get along with and that has intrests with you, if you have a person that you call your friend and you dont get along or have anything in common whats the point

I belive that my friends are different than me. This is because my friends have different hobbies. Also what a good friend is to me is someone who cares for you and others.

                      Hope Against Hope

                         Junior`s sisister, Mary wanted to be a writer and wanted to write romantic novels.  However she was scared to present it.  to the puclic becuase she toolk peoples thought `s way to seriously.  When people are scared they hide and they do not confront there fears.  Another reason is drugs which im pretty sure Mary was not addicted to drugs but that ruins lives.  People just get lazy and with laziness people want to give up becuase then do not want to work for it, every body wants the easy way out.  You have to atleast try it shoot and see what happens, in this case Mary`s novel`s.   "You miss 100% of the shots you dont take"  Wayne Gretzky.  This quote explains howyou have to try don`t just say oh I can`t do it.  This is how people give up and have no success. 

Yes i believe that I am very similar to most of my friends. But I also think it is good to have some differences in the friendship. I think it is better to have friends that are more like you or at least has the same interests as you. I agree with this because if you and your friend have nothing in common then you have nothing to talk about or relate to. But you don't have to relate that much to your friend I think it is good to have some difference in a friendship because if your friend is like a copy of you it kinda boring its like talking to yourself in a mirror.  

Similarities and Differences of Friends

I believe being similar to your friends is better than not being as similar because when you are similar to your friends, you have a better friendship and it will last longer.  If you aren't that similar to your friends, your friendship won't last as long because you will have a hard time agreeing on things rather than knowing that you both like something.  When you are looking for a friend you want a friend that will look out for as you will for them, that won't judge you for being yourself, is friendly, nice, trustworthy and have lots in common.  I am similar in many ways to my friend and I believe that Junior and Rowdy have a good friendship because they look out for one another and they help each other through their lives.  If friends didn't have much in common, I wouldn't call them friends because they could just find someone else that has more in common with them.  Friends that are caring, trustworthy, funny and smart make the greatest friends because they are the friends that will last rather than fake friends that don't care about what happens to you or they talk about you behind your back.

Different and Similar Friends

When it comes to my friend's there is a wide range. Some of them are similar to me other's aren't. I think that's the same with everyone though. It's good to have people around you that are different because it opens your mind to new things.It's also good to have people who are similar because then you could share food. Food is very important when it comes to friendships.
