Peoples love relationships and happiness is something that is going on for ages. Men and women think of love in many different ways. Women think of love as something from a fairy tale. They think the man of there dreams are going to be sensitive yet strong. In addition, once they see them their going to fall in love and be happy forever. Men see the women in their life as people that are there to serve them and cater to them and once they get married their going to be happy forever. Men and women usually do not look at the hard only the good times of things. They do not think that once they get together they might have hard times they only look at it as if they are dissent to be and once they have hard times its not. People do not think that you need to overcome the hard times to be truly happy.
Love and giving. When you see a home less person on the train, would you give them change? If someone falls, would you help him or her get up? You might not notices it but little things like this can affect a person live. How do you feel when you do a good deed? I personally like doing good things not so people can notice but because it makes me happy to know I can help in any way. I do not spend my well-being on just helping other. I try me best whenever I can to help others while I am helping my self. Doing good things make me happy and I know that by doing these good things will happen to me back. This is the reason why I want to become a social worker; I love helping others. I try my best to do what I can and I hope that helps.
Family and love. People say blood is thicker then water. However, when you have a family that does not care for you that is not always the case. For some people family is not always the people you turn to for comforting. Friends ultimately could not be the source of a person’s true happiness. Being with friends that are honesty, giving, and genuinely love you could be the source that makes you happy. If you have family member that want to see you fail and does not care for you because they might envy you for some reason can be the reason why you turn to you friends. If in your heart you believing that your friends are the true people you need to be with to be happy then that is something you need to do. Being with the people you truly believe is there for will lead to your true happiness.

When I was younger I always remember myself telling my parents that I wanted to work. They would look at me like I was crazy. But I always had seen my brothers and sisters working and being so happy when they got their paychecks that it made me wanted to feel that same way. My brother and sister would tell me that work is not meant to be fun. They would tell me you have to be serious when working hard and by working hard you to get what you want which is money and that would make you happy. So I always thought that all I need to do is work hard and I would be happy. But In reality as I got older I learned that I can have fun and work hard. The thing is you have to know how to balance your play time with your work time. During my time working in several places I notice that I can have fun while working. There have been times when I have play too much and noticed that I haven’t been doing my job as much. But I learned that as long as you catch yourself doing things like that and you stop yourself you would be finding. I find myself being happy at work because I can be productive while having fun at the same time. I currently work in the store Ricky’s which I love because I started out with a positive outlook on it and it’s an environment where I can be social, have fun and still be productive by helping others. I enjoy working because it’s a place where I can be serious while still have fun.

When people think of education, their first thought is not always pleasant. People usually think of school and education as a requirement that is not fun, but you have to get through it to become a happier person in the future. Why do people automatically hate school and think of it as a dreadful place to be in, full of unhappy people and subjects? This is one of several questions being asked in the article “Happiness in Education” by Mark Van Doren and also being touched on in the Film Do Schools kill Creativity By. Ken Robinson. These sources that I have come across have made me think of my experiences during my educational career and have made me want to change for the better. It made me realize that it is because people have different ways of learning. I realized that I am a visual learner and I need to find way as to incorporate that in my educational career in order to become a happier person.
.
Mark Van Doren little brother loves psychology. He spends his time reading, writing and discussing the subject and he also studies the subject in Harvard. But when he was younger, as a student he hated the subject. This type of feeling is very common in students because their mind is programmed to believe that school is meant to be boring and during your free time you consider it to be fun. I personally found this article very interesting because it is something I can relate too. Ever since I can remember I always been very interested in drawing and fashion, even in class I would have a tendency to daze off or start drawing around my notes. Because of my family and the school system made it seem like the arts was not important; I did not take the effort to considered making a career in that field until this day. With my interests in the arts I notice that the only times I enjoyed class was when something was presented in the form of visual art. But because of the school system not making an effort in teaching us that it is okay to study arts it made me feel mentally dramatize till this day and I still feel subconscious about taking on the field that I desire. Which leads me to a brilliant film called “Do Schools kill Creativity” by. Ken Robinson, which speaks about his theories on Happiness and School.
When I saw Ken Robinson’s film on education I thought to myself this is something I can honestly see myself passing forward to many people so they can see the reality of the school system and how people think. When I saw this film I couldn’t help but to ponder upon all the experience I’ve been through with the school system. In this film, Ken Robinson spoke about how our educational system is built out of a form of hierarchy which are Mathematics and Language on top Humanities in the middle and the Arts at the bottom. By this system we are program to think that the Arts are automatically not as important as the other subjects such as Math and English but in reality they should all be equal. From young we are trained to think that taking a risk is a bad thing. “If you’re not prepared to be wrong you’re not prepared to be original”, a quote from Ken Robinson which means if you’re not prepared to take risk and be wrong then you’re not being yourself. From this film I have learned that I am a very creative person if I set my mind to it. Also, I am a visionary learner meaning that I register things in my mind better if I see the movement in front of me.
By being this visual person I realized that I have to train myself to understand things by seeing it. Maybe if I draw out these situations I have to do in class I would understand the problem better. By making those problems easier and more enjoyable for me maybe it would make my time in school much easier and happier. I have noticed that by taking an art class it has become a form of a stress reliever for me and made me enjoy me other classes much more, so another theory I personally have is that even if you cannot do what you love in your class try to take on a class that you love. Even if it is not part of your major, if you have at least a class that you enjoy it will help you in your other class because it will keep you more focused. These are some things that I’m planning on working on in order to further procure my happiness in school. I feel like by changing this it will help me be happier in school and will further my career in a positive way. By keeping my mind even, I feel like it helps me work much better. Having my required work and the work that I enjoy, which is drawing, it helps me stay focus because me tendency of dazing off or drawing goes away because I made time for that. I feel that so far these strategies are working and I will keep using these ways because it helps me stay happy.
I’ve learn from this film and article that I have to embrace my inner child in the sense that I have to take chances and be more open to being wrong because by taking risks it makes me more original. I’ve also started taking an art class to get in touch with my artistic side again and I started to wake up thinking more positive about going to class. I feel that I have been feeling much happier. I have started to not think of school of an obligation and more as a privilege and it has been working somewhat, I see myself much happier when I walk the halls to my class day by day. And in time I see myself become very successful because I have a better understanding in how to approach my challenges and know to not be afraid of being wrong because in life you have to take risks as said in Ken Robinson film.
