Emotional Support

Two years ago, I met a beautiful young girl name Salma. I met her at a family luncheon gathering. Her brother introduced us and immediately a connection was formed. After a couple of months of trying to get to know each other, I started to discover great things about her. She was extremely smart and kind. She had a great personality that shined. Salma was always a positive person and tried to bring the best out of me. Salma was always there for me when I needed anything. A couple of weeks ago, my grandmother passed away. I was at my lowest point in my life. I was extremely sad and depressed. However, I knew I could always rely on Salma. I would call her in the middle of the night and she was there to pick up my phone calls. When I needed someone to express my emotions to, she was there. She always encouraged me to look on the bright side of things. She always ensured me that better days were going to come because death is a part of life that we simply have to deal with. She helped me cope and deal with the loss of my grandmother. We would do activities such as working out and cooking together to keep my mind off the death of my grandmother. Salma comforted me by having a shoulder to cry on when I didn’t have anyone else. She was the only person that could understand my feelings and what I was going through. Salma also supported me emotionally. There were times when I had difficulties in school and I felt like giving up. However, she encouraged me keep pushing harder to accomplish my goals. She helped me understand that there are going to be struggles that we face in this world but we cannot give up and run from our problems. She supported me by giving me great advice and pushing me to do my best with my academics. Her words of encouragement boosted my self-esteem to accomplish my goals. I am extremely grateful to have someone like Salma in my life.

    As a child, I always pictured myself growing up and being a princess just like every other little girl in America. That fairytale quickly changed when my first little brother was born. My life was changed forever. I loved taking care of him. I guess that was when my first real instinct to become a caregiver kicked in. The feeling I got when I was needed by him was the best feeling I could ever have. I especially loved to give him his antibiotics or take his temperature.…

    She would let me have fun, cook me food, and look after me until my mom got off of work. This really had a strong effect on me as I still remember the good old days when there was no homework and there was just fun and games, beans and franks, PBS Kids, and hugs all the time. I was so fulfilled back then but didn’t realize that someone being there for me was a part of my fulfillment. It just sort of came to me naturally and my mind never once acknowledged the fact that there may not always be someone there for me but there was, no matter…

    People have been deforesting the Earth for thousands of years, primarily to clear land for crops or livestock. Direct causes of deforestation are agricultural expansion, wood extraction; logging or wood harvest for domestic fuel or charcoal, and infrastructure expansion such as road building and urbanization. Rarely is there a single direct cause for deforestation. Usually there are multiple causes working together simultaneously to cause deforestation. The single biggest direct cause of tropical deforestation is conversion to cropland and pasture, mostly for subsistence, which is growing crops or raising livestock to meet daily needs. The conversion to agricultural land usually results from multiple direct factors, as in countries building roads into remote areas to improve overland transportation of goods. The building of roads itself causes a limited amount of deforestation. But these new roads provide access to previously inaccessible and often unclaimed land. Logging, legal and illegal, often follows these new roads. Then the roads and the logged areas attract settlers, farmers, and ranchers who slash and burn the remaining forest for cropland or cattle pasture, completing the deforestation chain that began with road building. Agriculture-driven deforestation, for subsistence, and large-scale commercial activities are playing an increasingly significant role. In the Amazon, industrial-scale cattle ranching and soybean production are increasingly important causes of deforestation, and in Indonesia, the conversion of tropical forest to palm tree plantations to produce bio-fuels for export is a major cause of deforestation on Borneo and Sumatra. Poverty is often said to be an underlying cause of tropical deforestation, analyses of multiple scientific studies indicate that that explanation is an oversimplification. Poverty does drive people to migrate to forest frontiers, where they use slash and burn techniques for…
