My Brother

During these past few weeks of this observation project I learned to value my brother more than I did at the beginning of this project. I understood that he looks for advice when he has problems. I also learned that the way he (acts) is due to the way I behave he adapts everything. I also noticed that my brother is a friend I will have all my life, one who actually cares about you and that want to be just like you. My parents care about him a lot because they want to push him even further than they did to me, because they believe in him more because they have more experience on raising a kid more than they did when I was born.

My brother has developed a strong trust because I listen to him when he gets into huge problems, I also promise not to tell anyone what he tells me. Breaking a promise is like breaking the connection between us and it cannot be easily fixed. I also practice what I tell him not to do, it would not be right if I tell him not to do something bad and then moments later do it. I must (practice what I preach).

A DAY JUST LIKE ANY OTHER

It was a day just like any other it all changed when my little brother started bugging me to play with him. Just like any brother he’s on a quest to ruin my life. I say that because “ On October 21,2014 I was in my room listening to music where out of nowhere my brother calls me to play soccer with him.”(Soccer).  He thinks I’m good at playing soccer but really I’m not, I figure sooner or later he will find out.

I try to teach(Teach) him what I know and he picks it up quickly, his mind works fast. Although he bugs me sometimes it helps me by getting out and being active. He may make me mad sometimes but he brings happiness into my life.

Emotions

Emotions are what make us humans sensitive to what ever goes on around us. They can be very bad as I noticed my little brother playing soccer. His goal was to win by making lots of goals by himself. The reason it was bad was because he didn’t pass it to his teammates, which took the fun out of the game. In the end he lost and he got really mad at the opposite team, I saw there how he let his emotions control him. Although if he had passed it to his teammates he probably would have had lots of fun and maybe even won.

Emotions are good because they make us well aware to what goes on around us for example world hunger. It is going on today and if we didn’t have emotions we wouldn’t care about the people starving. Although we don’t do everything we can to stop it, but at least we try. In our ignorance we choose not to help but we feel the need to help through our emotions, which gives us humans, the kind and care loving characteristics

Seeking Happiness

     Seeking happiness seems very hard for a lot of people. I can sometimes understand why. Many different people seek happiness in many different ways like money, fame and many other things.  As we grow old or priorities begin to change because of our influences. As kids, all we care about is playing as I observed my brother play with his friends from school I noticed how they seem to be really happy. Many kids at school seek happiness in another sort a way it seems like they enjoy the company and attention that is given to them by their friends.

     The youth is different in a way because they are constantly changing because of what their friends tell them what cool and what they should do to feel better, but I believe that they aren’t understanding that someone cant tell you what to do so you can be happy it something you have to figure out by experimenting. As teenagers I observed that we can be easily disconnected from this world and reality through social media, to a point I think we wouldn’t be able to go on with our lives if it was taken away from us. We also forget the true meaning of communicating with others personally and face to face.

     Communication is important because it develops a bond between a father and a son. It creates an ambience where a child can trust his or her mom to tell them what they are going through. As parent the only thing that seems to make them happy is their children and their accomplishments. They are happy when his or her son accomplishes something they couldn’t accomplish during their lifetime. Which is why happiness for people comes in many different ways because everyone is different nobody is the same everyone has something special and unique about them.

Purpose

We all have a purpose in life and finding it may be the hardest thing. As I was observing my brother doing his homework he taught me a little thing that seemed to be quite interesting. I asked him “why are you doing your homework?” he replied because I want to get good grades to make mom happy. His purpose was to make my mom happy. I understood that he was doing it for my mom, but I also understood that he wants to make my mom happy, because if she is happy with him she will spoil him like crazy. If you look at it from my moms’ point of view her goal is to motivate him to do better in school that way he can have a better future, where he wont struggle to find a job he will be giving jobs to others.

With ought a purpose we can be sometimes unhappy. Usually with ought a purpose we have no reason to live for. I personally feel that a purpose makes you feel good on the inside and is something you enjoy doing for example, helping out others makes me feel happy and accomplished.
