Children Are the Future
English092 Essay
By
Anthony P. Summers

One’s vital possession is their children because that is what people leave behind in this world. This person has 2 children that he will be leaving behind and 1 child that he will be reuniting with, when he leaves. Our children are our future and we should cherish and love them as much as we can. Teaching them right from wrong and bestowing them with core values to keep them on the right track.

The oldest of the three children is a boy about 5 years in age. He looks just like his father and just as ornery. The middle child is a precious little girl who can light up a room but at the same time bring tears to the people that she is around. The youngest is the most beautiful little girl that he ever laid eyes on. Unfortunately, he did not have a chance to get to know her. God had plans for her as an angel and one day he knows he will be with her again.

This father of three little children is teaching them the difference of right from wrong and core values that makes him who he is. So, his children will grow up and teach their children and in essence keeping the cycle, of who the children are, alive and growing. We as parents love our children unconditionally and know they are our future. The reason why they are crucial to this person is they are what he leaves behind and at the same time he will live on through

    A comment at the beginning of the film made me feel somewhat uneasy: “Want to be a doctor or lawyer? That’s for white people”. This quote depicts the preconception or expectation for the community’s younger generation to end up on the streets instead of continuing their education and getting a job. Because of this, I believe Dennis’s purpose from Fatherhood Initiative to emphasize family life and how the absence of a fatherly figure can affect one’s childhood is very influential and valuable. I remember Dennis asking the prisoners, “How many of you have had your father tell you they love you?” This stood out to me because my father is a huge influence and I cannot imagine my life without him, and I think it is important to accentuate the significance of having positive role models and caring relationships as a…

    In a sense, I found that I would relate to the father when envying his son for how happy he was. I regretfully went down the path of self-destruction in a way that caused more harm than good towards myself and dreamt of what other way I could behave. Seeing how the son, regardless of the circumstances, was humble no matter what. He would enjoy and cherish his time with all those around him, even with a complete stranger. He opened his heart to whomever and truly embodied happiness in its purest form.…

    The father does everything to protect his son. The reason they are traveling to try and a find a better life for him. Throughout their journey he constantly tells him that they are the good guys; he is always making sure his son has food to eat, even if he’ll have a little or none; and watches over him until his last day. The following dialogues show that he has compassion towards his son: “What would you do if I died? If you died I would want to die too. So you could be with me? Yes. So I could be with you.” (11) and, “My job is to take care of you. I was appointed to do that by God. I will kill anyone who touches you. Do you understand?” (77). The father sees himself as a guardian angel for his son, and is willing to do anything, even kill, to make sure his son is safe. He would rather die than continue on without his son; he can’t bare to live without him since his son is what keeps him going, he is what keeps him sane. He has no mercy and empathy for others.

    My life can be closely related to the life of Wes Moore’s. Even though I did not lose my father at a young age, the admiration for my father is just as big as Wes’s. When I was a toddler, I wanted to be just like my father. I tried to do almost everything that he did. I even appreciated some of the things that he liked and did, so I could be just like him. While growing, I hit a stage where I started to think that being like my father was not such a good thing. I began thinking that I didn’t want to be like him at all, because he was a big disciplinarian. I thought that once I reached adulthood, I would be too hard on my children if I followed in his footsteps. As I continue to mature, I’ve noticed that he does this to bring out the best in me, and without him I would not be the person I am today.…

    He learned how to care through their intervention in his life. Without a loving family to support him he developed an outlook on life that was clouded by hatred and a feeling of isolation. In school he was an outcast and knew it. The teachers helped make him feel better which made him an understanding individual. This becomes more evident at the end of the story when he takes his child to a lake. The lake was one of the few places he found peace with his father and could get away from the chaotic house life he had to deal with. He takes his child there when they say, “This is my favorite place, dad.” and he begins to tear up. The light crying is evidence of his softened heart and his ability to care. This development of character shows how the hard things in life do not need to define the future of any individual. The main character’s bravery and positive attitude teach us all how we should live our…

    Marriage and Happiness

    Gilbert’s, “Does Fatherhood Make You Happy” discusses how kids have an effect on a parent’s life along with their happiness. Starting his essay off by exchanging ideas in which children decrease the happiness of a parent by adding stress into their life, he ends with thoughts that kids make us happy nonetheless, since they are a product of two partners. For instance, Gilbert proclaims that the happiness children bring into a couple’s life may exhibit a small impact. In his words, “Children may not make us happy very often, but when they do that happiness is both transcendent and amnesic” (Gilbert 985). Children have the capabilities to make any individual happy. Gilbert’s point initially is that married couples start off blissful with each other, worrying only for themselves. Over time when the mates produce offspring, they progressively become unhappy, from when their kids are in diapers to when they hit adolescence. Research conducted by psychologists revealed that couples reach initial happiness when their kids grow up and move along with their lives. Gilbert refers to such a thought to show readers the truth of what really happens in parenthood. He states, “Our children give us many things, but an increase on our average daily happiness is probably not among them” (Gilbert 986). Parents withhold an unconditional love for their kids going beyond measures. Being patient…

    I feel that the author is trying to speak for an extremely large group of people and not just the father that is mentioned in the story. I believe that he is intending to convey that there are so many people in this world that work extremely hard and don't get any notice or thanks for their time and struggles. I feel as if this really relates to the generation that I live in today. In my generation, more than my parents and theirs, I feel that kids aren't really appreciative of their parents and many other people that do a favor for them. It's almost as if they believe that the world revolves around them, they are entitled to everything, and that everything should be perfectly prepared just for them. In this story, it says that he, "with cracked…
