When I Ve Got To Make Yourself Research Paper

The quote, ¨Don't wait around for other people to be happy for you. Any happiness you get you’ve got to make yourself” by Alice Walker means multiple things. First off, to me this quote means, the best kind of happiness is the one you earn. Last year, in the Hillsborough science fair, I won best presentation overall. That day I was truly happy, not only because I won, but because I earned this happiness. To conclude, I would like to say that the best kind of happiness is the one you earn.

There are many books and movies that do, in fact, have the main character's struggle based on this quote. In the disney movie, Moana, the main character, Moana, is seeing beyond the safe little island that her tribe has been living in for thousands of years. She wants to go beyond, see who is out there, what is out there. No one is stopping her except for her father. He has had bad experiences in open water, and wants to ensure safety for Moana and his tribe. One night, her grandmother falls ill. Moana’s grandmother tells her to go. Before you knew it, Moana was on her way sailing. Finally, she was happy! She went out and explored, saved her tribe from destruction. If she waited around for her father to let her go, she would never really earn that happiness, it would have been given to her. This is why, the movie Moana, is a perfect example of this quote.
We all know that at the end of the day, everyone just wants happiness.
Everyone just wants someone to be kind to them. Students all over the world can feel good about themselves if they just do something kind or loving to a peer or friend. Seeing someone smile back at them, could just make somebody's day. Waving to someone in hall and having them wave back at you, could make just about everyone’s day. To end, earning that happiness is the best when you can give that same happiness to someone else in the
world.

All in all, the quote, “Don’t wait around for other people to be happy for you. Any happiness you get you’ve got to make yourself” to me, means that the best kind of happiness is the one your earn. I hope that in the future students will see how important it is to see someone else smile, or see how good it feels to win something on your own. I hope people go out and have their own adventure and not just sit around for someone to bring happiness to them. Always remember, that the best kind of happiness in the one you earn yourself.
