Tell me your friends and i will tell you who you are
Friendship
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Value that is found in frien
dships is often the result of a friend
demonstrating the following on a consistent basis:
- the tendency to desire what is best for the other
- sympathy and empathy
- honesty, perhaps in situations where it may be difficult for
- others to speak the truth, especially in terms of pointing out
- the perceived faults of one's counterpart
- Mutual understanding
- Mutual compassion
In a comparison of personal relationships, friendship is considered to be closer than association, although there is a
range of degrees of intimacy in both friendships and associations. Friendship and association can be thought of as
spanning across the same continuum. The study of friendship is included in sociology, social psychology,
anthropology, philosophy, and zoology. Various theories of friendship have been proposed, among which are
social exchange theory, equity theory, relational dialectics, and attachment styles.
Based on Wikipedia, Friends make a great impact in our lives. Our friends are very influential to us. We share secrets
w/ them, We bond w/ them together, We consult to them for advice and sometimes, We even believe their advice
that
those of our parents even the friends advice is not good. Look at the picture, you could see a teenage girl who is
smoking and drinking. she has been influenced by friends to try to drink and smoke. She will later on develop the habit
of drinking and smoking. Her lifestyle was changed by her friends. It just shows that our friends ,could somehow,
predict our future someday. ''birds of the same feather flocks together'' If you want a bad future someday, hang out w/
a bad company. if you want a better and brighter future, hang out w/ the good company. We need to choose the right
friends. I'm not saying that you could only befriend good and nice people, of course we could have an unlimited circle
of friends. We can't avoid making new friends, It is part of our system, It is a social part of us.we just have to be careful
if we get bad influences from them. we could bond w/ them but not when it comes to bad things. We could give them
good influences and we could be the one who changes who they are. We should be careful in our attitude towards
friends and we must choose the right friends because it will deeply affect our life.

me as a campaign manager????
Why did you pick me as campaign manager? They answered: Because your a good speaker and you make people laugh. Their description of campaign manager is very different than the usual campaign manager who really ''manages'' because the goal was only introduce the candidates and add some comedy, Nothing more, nothing less. I wonder why they call it campaign manager, Why not campaign clown or campaign jester????. Their first choice was Allen who disagrees to join although he was perfect for the job. I was surprised that they chose me because For the past 2 school years, I'm just an ordinary student/voter. I listen as they discuss their platforms and I even always jokingly say that I will use their campaign paraphernalia as ''panggatong'' ( maybe that's the reason they chose me, Oh no!!!!!) Oh well! I think I'm still lucky because I was only a campaign manager and not a candidate(Thank you for not nominating me as class officer!). If I was, It would be a big responsibility.
Good luck to the candidates! May you fulfill your platforms and promises and not just collect fines, May you strictly implement the rules and regulations including the officers themselves.
