Dear Paul, You may wonder why I was so hard on you. I was hard on you because I was you. My parents died when I was in high school and I was sent to live with my aunt. I skipped school, and spent time with a shady crowd. I dropped out of school, so I could earn money to support myself. Years later, I realized I never expected much out of myself. If you're reading this letter, then you figured out what I did, just much sooner. — Roger In this letter to Paul, the author tries to complete the theme: "Life is what you make it." However, the relationship between Paul's experiences and Mr. Valentine's experiences is weak because the letter lacks details connecting the two. Rewrite Mr. Valentine's letter to better build this theme.

Life is not easy or hard, life is not cruel or soft,life is what we make it.

Everybody wants to happy in life. We all be want to live a perfelct ife.To maintain an optimistic attitude towards life, I know I must never take anything too seriously. I always want to remain a positive person throughout my life. I believe that if I remember to make the most of my life, than I will be happier. I will always make the best of every situation. I keep a cheerful attitude is because life is short. I can definitely say that I feel that I am living my life now – not just existing. And it feels good, free, authentic.

“The purpose of life is not to be happy - but to matter, to be productive, to be useful, to have it make some difference that you have lived at all.” Life is many things. Many have tried to explain the meaning of life or even simply what it is. Life is too great, too rich to be limited by some scientific rendering; I much prefer to strive to understand life's poetic nuances. Life's purpose was never to live to define the phenomenon, only to live a life worthy of the gift we have been given. We never know when our last moments on earth will be. Shouldn’t we all be seizing the opportunity to be happy? Life is 10% of what happens to us and 90% of how we react to i We ought to learn to appreciate the things we have before time forces us appreciate the things we once had. Things turn out best for people who make the best out of the way things turn out.

there on the beach was a struggling turtle.   around its bright green neck was a loop of soda can rings.   in order to the planet, i have made a few changes to my life.   the first change is reducing the number of straws used. the second change was to recycle.   finally, i have worked hard to clean up litter.   it is important to clean our ocean.

you may not think straws have a large impact but they do.   imagine for every straw you sip out of a poor, , adorable turtle is being harmed.   one way i chipped in to is by using metal straws.   these straws are reusable and inexpensive.   another change is simply turning down straws.   by refusing a straw, i’m the turtles one drink at a time.  

however, the ocean just doesn't have turtles.   there are lots of creatures that live there and are harmed by all the litter.   to prevent litter from growing it’s important to recycle.   for me, i have started to buy most goods that are made out of recycled material.   pura vidas, chacos, purses, and too many other items to even count.   plus, when you buy those products they give money to charities.   not only am i the environment, but i’m also feeling better about my self.   finally, i have worked hard to clean up litter.   it is important to clean our ocean.
