Happiness

1. Happiness is: -feeling or showing pleasure, contentment, or joy.
-feeling satisfied that something is right or has been done right.
-resulting unexpectedly in something pleasant or welcome.

2. What makes me happy is seeing others become happy because of what I did. I'm also happy when I see others enjoy or appreciate my work. Working on something that will later be appreciated makes me happy as well.

3. I think my parents have a great influence on my happiness. When my parents are in a bad mood, I tend to not be as happy and vice versa. Weather also tends to affect my happiness as crummy weather or darkness at an early hour can decrease my happiness and vice versa.

4. I think I affect the happiness or my parents significantly as well. I believe I have some influence on the happiness of my friends too. In addition, I can influence the happiness of my cats by giving them attention or by playing with them.

5. My greatest need is probably to be happy which is directly related to happiness obviously. The most important thing is to be happy because as human being we have a right to be happy. To be happy requires effort and commitment which is difficult for most people.

Assignment #7

1. I really enjoyed writing poems in this quarter because I like to write poems concisely with rhyming.
2. I believe that the poems in my portfolio were my strongest pieces because I think that they were well written and some poems had a deep meaning to them. Surprisingly, I don't have much experience in writing poems.
3. I believe I need some due date and direction for assignment or else I won't ever get to do them. I also write best under pressure and need sort of direction or else I'm at a loss for ideas.
4. I think I would enjoy writing short plays next quarter.
