Celebration and Appreciation

Celebration and Appreciation are two things in which I find make life truly enjoyable. As this quarter is coming closer and closer to ending, I find this the perfect time to write about this topic. Celebrating is something that always makes things better. That is because first off if you are celebrating something then it has to be something good. So not only did something good happen to you but you get to have a celebration about it as well. I mean what is ever better? Celebrating things always end up in having a good time and simply increasing the happiness of everyone around you. Appreciation is also a great thing in life. I feel that by appreciating what you have in life is always a good thing. If you are aware of everything that means a great deal to yourself then you should appreciate it to it's fullest and be happy that you have it. These two things go hand and hand with each other, when it comes down to both make your life better. I find that if you appreciate something a great deal that it is always best to celebrate that thing not just for yourself but for everyone so everyone can know how much the thing means to you i the first place. One example of this are holidays like mothers day. This is a day in which you are supposed to appreciate our other for all she has ever down for you. At the same time it is a great time to also celebrate this appreciation so that she truly knows how you feel.

Evaluation and Reflection

Evaluation and reflection are two things that without ever doing you most likely will never grow to be a better person. These two things are essential in order for a person to grow and see how they have done in a certain situation either good or bad. I find myself doing these two things in school for one but also simply from day to day to see how I deal with certain events. In school evaluation is important because it allows you to know just how well you have been doing on a certain paper. Evaluation should take place many times before things are turned in as your best work. Then an evaluation should also be a part of this. This would say how you yourself think you did. and most likely if you did put forth a lot of effort and work into it then the reflection most likely will show your final grade. In day to day life it is also good in order to make past mistakes better. One example of this I have is of me and my friend going on a camping trip last summer. I found that this camping trip was not as good as it could have been and by evaluating and reflecting on it we were able to see all the problems and will try to fix those problems so that the next time we do it everything will go better.
