Each of us is an individual; we all have characteristics that define us, that identify us as different from others. Think about yourself: what makes you different from other people you know? The difference(s) could be physical, psychological, social. In other words, what makes you, you?
Dear Griffin:
ReplyDeleteWe are all diffenent. The different characyeristics divide us. We have different hobbies. People have the same hobby will stay together. This is my first time to come to America. I'm glad to meet Juile and Victoria. Maybe some peole don't like and look down on me. I don't care.
My hair is shorter than some boys'. Some people thought I'm a little boy. I think they should go to see the eyes doctor.
Most people have familiar dreams.They want to be doctor,teacher, and officer etc. These I like neither. I want to be a leader of zoo.And I enjoy that feeling. All the animals are so good. They are easy to get along with each other. Now and after maybe I don't have that ability to realize it. That's ok. I have the second major goal in my life. I want to open an ecological park in my hometown with my friends. There are many chickens, pigs,horses,ducks, fishes dogs etc. People can come here to enjoy farm staying to relax. I like easy and free life. Don't need so much fire. I know I must work hard and I will. I don't travel far without dream.
I'm Charlie. I think as the proverb goes,"There are no the same leaves in the world," I couldn't agree more. Everyone has his/her own personality which makes us different from others.
ReplyDeleteFor me, on the build, I'm a boy of average height and I'm also a little thin. Also, everyone has his/her own hobbies, I'm no an exception. I am good at swimming, and my favorite hobbies are playing tennis and listening to the music.
One more thing--dreams, I believe perhaps some of us have similar dreams, however, everyone must have his/her unique desires and goals. Although I haven't made up my mind with my future, but I have short-term goals , absolutely the number one is to do my best to a native speaker here, and then is to manage my life successfully. For another thing, I am now making an effort to be active by doing sports and exercise with my friends as well as putting on weight. I will do better and better no matter I'm on a path of strewn with roses or in the adversity. I think everyone make an effort to get their life goes their ways, and that 's why each of us is different.
In the world,everyone is only one!Such as :In the world,only one "yiwei.chang",nobody can replace me!This is important point to make us be different.
ReplyDeleteEvery people maybe have different hobbies or have different characters or come from different countries.
In my opinion ,I think my character is different from others.I am a sunshine and humorous girl.And other people call me "Paul".Because I often wear "Paul".The clothes of brand are very interesting!A monkey pattern is on the front !The style is whole colored,but the pattern is colorful!I think the clothes of the brand looks simply and is a symbol of youth!Under their impression,I am a happy girl!In fact ,I also meet some things that make me unhappy,but I always tell myself to keep the state of happiness.I am just like a poor man -Enjoy myself despite poverty!
everybody know every peoples are different. My name is Lily! My birthday is different with another people! My face is different with other people. My style is different with other people too! I like drawing, panting, cooking, and i like play guitar. I have a dream, I hope. everybody have different dream. some people wants to be a writer, some people wants to be a cooker, and i wants to be a reporter but i don't know in my future what i want to be because I think some peoples dream it's different with they are child! I really don't know! I think in my future my dream can be change or can not be change! I think this is a big question for me. now i have to work hard because i want to realize my dream. If I work hard in my future my family's life can change better now! Oh~yeah!
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, this topic is difficult for me, because I don’t know about myself.
ReplyDeleteIn the life, everyone has different characteristics. Like me, whenever I meet the problems, I never feel upset, I always face the problems and solve them with thinking positively. I think maybe this is my most obviousness characteristic.
In the world, we have countries and race. Usually we will call like Asian or Chinese for kind of people in China, but that's not mean we are all the same. Because each other have their different place between other people. In my thinking, what I'm different with others is my face, it's a friendly round face,black eyes and hair, and usually I love smile. Also I play tennis and drums. That mean's I'm different than other people who play the pianos, trumps even someone don't know how to play any musical instrument, or different than football players, basketball players. And I can play the chess of go! Here's not many people know how to play it. So in many sides, we can locate what's the different than others, and become the singular one.
ReplyDeletei know that everybody is the different in the world. so i also think i am different with others. sometimes i don't care what r people talking about, and sometimes if i think something i want to do, then i will try my best to finish it. everyone has a dream and everyone has different dream. for me, i want to be a photographer in the future, but for my dad, he wants me to inherited him. so if i want to be a photographer, i will go travel to many place to get information for nature.
ReplyDeleteI think everyone in the world is quite different. It's one of the rules of the world, and I like that because if everyone has similar characteristics, we will feel bored about the world. How to show that I am quite different from others? Our personalities and our appearances can show that. For example, I like playing basketball, but one of my friends, Jerry Wang, likes to play soccer. My mother is kind of introverted, but my father is kind of extroverted. Different regions can also make people different from each other because different regions have different cultures. I can't imagine how the world will change if everyone is similar to each other.
ReplyDeleteFrom Didi:
ReplyDeletehi my name is Dieudonne and am from Rwanda.
am a student at TA and i really like this school. everyone is gentle and the teachers also.i love sports and my favorite sports are basketball and soccer. i love chelsea and my favorite player is Torres. i like pizza, ice cream and milk, and to finish i would like to say how much i love my english class and every student and my teacher M.R Griffin
In the world, there are more than 7 billion people. But no one is same as the other. Everyone is different and has his own ability and strength. I think the difference between others and me is the appearance, my habits and my ability. I have a friendly face, with black hair and eyes. I like to help others and I'm easy to make friends. I have a lot of friends in my hometown. I like to play badminton and free combat. And also, I can play clarinet and saxophone. That's why I'm different from the others.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion, everybody around the world , may be they have the same job , they live in the same city, speak in the same language and work in the same company but they have many different hobbies , habits , dreams and they have their own way of doing their job , the best way makes them feel comfortable . And me , I'm student and I have many hobbies like traveling with my family and chatting with my best friend,... And now , I'm 16 years old , I think I'm not old enough to think too much about my life in the future but I have a dream . I want to be a business person when I grow up , so I can earn more money for my life . I'm not sure I can be a business person in the future because I think it's a little bit difficult for me . But I never give up , I have my own way of making my dream come true , it's try to study hard and learn more from my parents ( they are a business persons ) . That makes me different from other people I know .
ReplyDeleteThere are many elements make us be different from others. People who come from different regions, they have different habits. People who come from different families, they have different background and personality. I believe I am completely different from any one. I am a extraverted guy because of my parents. I went traveling with my parents while I was very young. And I was kind of shy, I was afraid to speak to strangers. I thought they would joke on me, even when I was buying something. Then my father required me to be brave and confident, he provided many chances to practice. Then I tried to asked for help confidently. Gradually, I enjoyed talking with other people. Now I am mature than before, and have my own idea. Besides, I have different experiences from others. That's why I am different.
ReplyDeleteFrom Jacob:
ReplyDeleteI am different from others
Hello, I am a little introverted boy. But I have some of my own ideas.
most like the color is white. In addition to English of all the subjects I like.
In high school, my English is too horrible to look at,but it's over now.
By high school, I hope to improve English scores, but I have no basis
I will be very hard to learn English，there are many words do not know, in the computer search。 I hope I can hold on to the last. Above all, we should recognize our strengths and weaknesses. For example, I am healthy and fit, so I can work hard. I'm also optimistic, humble and polite. These are my strengths. However, I also have weaknesses. For one thing, I'm stubborn and a little impatient. I'm sometimes lazy as well and can spent a whole day just watching TV and eating junk food. I'm not ashamed to admit these bad pints. Knowing what they are lets me focus on improving myself.
From Mimi:
ReplyDeleteEverybody is the only one in the world, we have different characteristic, I’m out
going so I’m easy to make new friends, I don’t mind others do something wrong
even to me as long as it doesn’t hurt me too much, I can forgive lots of things, if
someone quarrel with me, I can forgive him/her next second. I think that’s my
special characteristic.
There is no one as same as others in every part. Even twins also have something different.
ReplyDeleteThe most special reason shows I am different than other is I know how to enjoy a lonely time. It doesn't means I don't like stay with people. I think when you stay with yourself, your heart will more quiet and focused. And then, some problem that confused you maybe for a long time will be figure out. I have lots of experience like that, so sometimes I prefer to stay alone. By the way, I didn't have depression, I have a lot of friends.
The other thing is I am a " perfect" girl. If I have something that I really want to be well, I will try many times until I think it is enough. If it doesn't , I will be really upset, and I even can't eat because of it for a whole day! No one is perfect, but it doesn't mean we can't try to be perfect.
Third thing is I like to help people even they don't ask me to help. I think maybe it is the best part of my personality. Help people can really make you happy, and it also can let you make some new friends.
This is me, and no one can change except myself.
We are the different from others. Everyone is different in this word. We have difference look, we have different hobbies, we have different family. So do I, I am different from others. I am outgoing. I am a student in American. I like playing computer games with my friends. I also have confidence to study English well. This is one reason that I come from china to American. I hope I can learn American English very well. It can change my whole life. I have medium build, short hair, and I have a kind of black face. i am different.
ReplyDeleteIn my opinion.I think I am so different from others . First I am not good at math ,chemistry and physics classes.It is very different from other Chinese students.I like history , economic ,sports and reading books .sometimes I can use all day to read a book or study,and sometimes I can play like a child .I am so different from others because nobody know what I am thinking and what I will do .
ReplyDeleteEveryone in this world is only just like our earth. Our appearance, dress, height is not the same, but this is not the difference between our main reason .When you ask different people the same question, you will get many different answers. This is to distinguish between our key ideological differences. I love cat, I think cat is the most lovely animals in the world, but also have somebody hate cat. Person's life a lot of things are changing, but the spirit is never change. It to guide our way forward, it is a sign of our existence. Because the spirit we are different from others.
ReplyDeleteFor every person in this world is an independent individual, Maybe a lot of people have the same name as me, but so what, do they have any as I look like? I have the same character? And I come from a place? The answer is self-evident.
ReplyDeleteDifferent might be because I am a girl, but my personality is like a boy, very bright and outgoing, like to exercise, don't like to stay at home.
Another reason is because I informal section, I have confidence, I'm very brave. This is my charm, this is my special place!
Actually I never think it before. Usually I am trying to be a modest about that. I dont like talking about me. But to be honest I have a some skills like chess and basketball. I think these are making difference from the others. And also i could be much more lazy peoples sometimes or if get concentrated i could be much more hardworking than the other peoples. Maybe there is more think that people think about me but like i said i dont know.
ReplyDeleteEveryone should to know this sentence 'We will never find two same snowflake.' Of course，we also cant find two same people. Everybody has own outward and character.
ReplyDeleteMany parents of China like their children are very good as other good children, so they want to us get friends with them. I think it is very incorrect, every children are different, they have different strong point. If everybody is same, what world will be!
Now let we talk about why we are different, I know it is depend DNA, but there are also have some other reason. Parents is a very important factor, there is a sentence of China 'three years old can decide eighty' its mean is when your child was young, it can affect him very long time that what did you teach to your child.I think I am very kind and friendly, I dont know why, maybe my parents give me it. without my parents, a guy changes me a lot, he let me hard working, let me know what is strong, let me know importance of waiting. If I never meet her, maybe I can't as good as now, I also can't be in here.
What makes me?
ReplyDeleteMe. My thoughts, my hobbies, my character, the sports i like to play. That is what make me, me.
For example, I am a soccer player of the "Dorm Team" and I like swimming as well. Sometimes I am funny , and sometimes I am serious.
i think my name is one of the most important factor than makes me be me , no another person also my personality is another important factor im impatient ,sportive,kind with the person who are nice with me .
ReplyDeleteim unique in the world all of us are unique nobody is equal anybody, my thoughts my dreams my life is only mine no one have the same .
physically maybe you can be similar for another person , like the twins but you must have something different like a spot or something else , we are differents in all the senses
Everyone in the world has an individual personality. Everyone is different from others by outlook and inside. The outlook is something we can't control when we were born. But inside is really based on your experiences. Your family background, big events in past of life could make you. For example I think my parents taught me respect and behaviors. And also what I learned from society made me became more careful with some relationships. So I think what made me is really based on what I experienced in the past.
ReplyDeleteEveryone is different in the world. They have different life, different job and different character, but I think everyone is the best in the world. All the people are very good，Including me. I think I am a very friendly person. I like to help other people as possible as I can to help other people. I think I am very patience. If I have a goal I can do it everyday till the goal is reached. And I think I am a good listener, like to learn other people good things. Everyone is the best I can learn lot of thing from everyone.
ReplyDeleteThis is my personality. I love myself~
From Crystal Chu:
ReplyDeleteEveryone are different. God made them with different merit. Although i'm annoying in class but i can still listen to what the teacher said in class. Even i had got the lowers marks in class before and all my classmates were laughing at me but i don't care, i can keep calm when someone laughing at me or shout to me. What i need to do is to be responsible for my own.
I'm special, because i always keep smiling everyday and being happy all the time. Although sometime i'm sad but i knew the way to get relax. That is me, the one who doesn't care anything.
There are lots of people in the world, but no one is the same. Maybe there are some similar, also no one is the same. I pretty like reading manga. I think that I would die without manga in my world. I do not know why I would be so obsessed with comic. That’s my life. Everyone has different characteristics. I don’t know what kind of characteristic for me, maybe a little bit shy, or a little bit crazed for manga.
ReplyDeleteIt is very hard question to me. I do not know what is different from other people. I'm obviously not same with other ,but I do not know the difference.Maybe appearance, personality and other something.Not special just different.
ReplyDeleteI'm different from American people because i'm from Thailand. I have a different family, so i was raised in a special way. I like to eat very spicy food maybe that makes me different from other people. Nobody in the world has the same characteristics because everyone has different experiences during life time.
ReplyDeleteEveryone is different from others.Even twins are different each other.Though the appearance looks similar,their characteristic will be different.
ReplyDeleteMany of my friends like to stay in a crowded atmosphere but I just want to stay in a silent place,I like to be quiet and just think the question by my self and just stay in my world to keep everyone away.
I came from China so some of my behavior is different from the Americans,too.They act very outgoing but I just act like a frightened person.
The only thing I know is that I'm always different from others,I'm just me,not anyone else.
Everybody have different character. I 'm a exoscopic student. I like doing something with my friends. I like help the other people, if he or she have some difficult things. My home town in Chengdu, so I like eat every spicy foods, like chafing dish. Though I like playing computer games ,but I sometimes go to cinema ,beach ,and fun town. I like reading history books. History books can tell us many things, like history tells us the reason why we succeed or fall? ,how to be a great person in your country. When I read books ,I 'm very quiet ,because I must read seriously, I can obtains some ideas in books. I like watching movies ,It is relaxing to watch movies. I think my character was inherited by my parents. I love my parents, because they give me a good character like them ,we are optimistic.
ReplyDeleteI think my character is made of basketball. When I was a child. I was very fat. Nobody want to talk to me or make friend with me, that make me very sad. Until I can play basketball. After I played basketball I get taller and thinner. Lots of people like me. When I was a Junior high school. I played basketball every day. When I was sad i play basketball, when i was happy, i played basketball. Basketball makes me more stronger and independent. Basketball let me now what is team work. So i think basketball make of me.
ReplyDeleteHey Mr.Griffin, I am Sherry
ReplyDeleteEveryone has different characters, hobbies and appearance in the world. Everyone thinks he or she is unique.
I like to read books, my favorite book is gone with the wind. Many teenagers thinks that book is too long and do not like to red it. But I like this book best. I like researching the characters in the books and know about the background of the story, and learn about American history. That is so interesting for me! And I also like reading other books too!
I am not sure if this is my different of others or not, but I try my best to find it.
Everyone is different. They have different names, different voices, different looks and different interests. Different people like different food. Different people like different colors. When given a question, different people have different views and answers.
ReplyDeleteWhat makes me different? I think my name is very special. I prefer my Chinese name than English name. In China, the name of each person has a different pronunciation. Of course the name of each person has different meaning. I like chilly weather. I like hip-hop music. I like thriller. I like to study in a quiet environment that I can concentrate. Those makes me different.
In my opinion. Everyone In this world is different, like the world is not the same two leaves. I am a 14 years old boy, I am a anime fans. I am a tennis player. I think this is some of the same hobby that we both have. Although everyone have a lot of same hobby but we still different. Frist I love computer, I know more computer information than other people who is in this age. I love to try, I think the true meaning of win isn’t the win result, I think is how many times you lost but you stand up again, fight again. To sum up we are the same but also different.
ReplyDeleteFrom Didi:
ReplyDeleteAs I told you last time my name is dieudonne and am from Rwanda. Todays question is what makes me different from others. I like Chelsea fc and I always watch its game every time. My favorite player is Torres he plays in Chelsea and also Spain. I like pizza, milkshake and milk. I also love basketball and my favorite team is Miami heat. Am might maybe not be that different from you but I think there will always be something that makes us be different from each other .
Thanks, everyone, for your comments. Reading them, I realize how hard it is to know yourself - how you differ from others, what makes you unique. It strikes me that only through others' eyes can we see ourselves. Good thoughts - thank you for them.
ReplyDeleteFrom Peter:
ReplyDeleteI’m me because I have face and a heart that differently from everyone’s. I’m doing things differently also because I have a brain differently from everyone’s. Having a different brain is really important that you can get different ideas between others’. If everyone had the same brain, the world would not work, the people would like robots, everyone is doing same thing that would make the would broken.
I still remember my good friends told me :I am who i am. everyone in the world has their own specific character.For me, lazy and no patient make me different from others.I love to make things easy and straight. Also, i never get angry with others because i'm too lazy to get angry...
ReplyDeleteWhatever, i have lots of bad habit, but i think shortcoming make people more beautiful.
I think something what makes me different is my belief——Buddhism. It change me a lot. before I believe in Buddhism I have a bad temper, if somebody makes a laugh at me, and I will angry with that guy, even use my fist to punish him. After my Mum take me to meet a Buddhism master, and I learn a lot of thing from him, to control my temper and learn how to endure other people. So the Buddhism change me a lot, and give me different disposition.
ReplyDeleteThis comment has been removed by the author.
ReplyDeleteEveryone is different with others. Because everyone has different family and different experience that makes people various. Even though we may have similar family. My parents believe Buddhism, it affect me a lot. To been a nice person. I also believe whatever what kinds of religion people believe in most religions lead people tend to good. As time goes by, the people we meet, the works we work on, even the religion we believe in are disparate. Therefore, people are individual and the world is diversiform.
ReplyDeleteThere must be some reason for the question "why people different?" I think the answer might be "environment" or "background" though there are twins, they have 99 percent same gene, they still different.I have many different experience from others,and my different experience come from my different environment. I have worked at a restaurant for 2 mouths, that 2 mouths experience really influence me a lot. Not only i learned how to cook, but also i learned how to treat things like a adult. I am not talking about how much adultness i have, what i am trying to say is i really know about the cruel of Chinese society and i understand how much my parents did for our life. I saw different things from my classmates and my friends, so that actually why i am different from them.
ReplyDeletewhen people come to the world, there always has reason for people to live in the world. the difference between people makes the world kindness and colorful. everyone do their jobs which is different with others. i personally think that everybody is the single special one. just like me, maybe someone looks like me, and someone has the same character with me. but there is no one live in the world who is always same as me. We learn some things from different people, and nobody is the best, never make mistakes in their life, and different people always can help other out. And i don't want to be the same with the others.

ReplyDeleteDear Ms.Englund, I think everyone on the world are different to the others, someone may be similar but they never are equals .I am Jorge, I am from Spain. I like soccer,my favorite team is Real Betis, my favorite player is Fernando Torres,I like sleep and playing soccer. I think in this world there is no one like me,both physically and mentally.
ReplyDeleteI think each one has his personality, different to others person.
Every in this world is different, like some people said: there is no same leaves in the the world. I'm different because I have the different experience, different belief other people do not have. In the thousand people's mind have thousand Hamlet, because we have different position. And u living in this world u have many friend, all of them can change u.
ReplyDeleteHi. Mr. Griffin. I am Vincent Jin. I think everyone is different in this world. I am only one in this world. For example, I am Chinese, my birthday is different with other people and we have different hobbies. I like swimming and driving. I like listening music and I am good at riding bicycle. My parents send me to here, so I am International student. I can get more chances.I love my family. That's all.
ReplyDeleteBILL
ReplyDeletesent to Ms.Englund on 10/06/2013 (posted here 10/9).
Every is different, such as name,surface,disposition,fingerprint,and dream,my dreamlet me different,when I was very small, I want to be a lawyer,I saw a lot of crime.I think lawyer is so cool,so I know a lot of legal knowledge,Before I came to America, I know a lots of America’s law.The let me do things is cautious more than lots of people.I think is my different.
Everyone is different , but everyone has something the same.
ReplyDeleteWe have different appearance because we have different gene. But what about the twins? They have no difference in appearance, but they always have different lives.What make them different?
Our society and environment make us different. We grow in different ways. We have different experiences. Sometimes, even a single sentence may change one`s life.
I`m different with most of my roommates. Not only because my weight , but also my knowledge. I have read about three million words of books, and I have been to 10 nations in 4 continents. I`m proud of it because it make my will strong.
From Kenny:
ReplyDeleteEverybody is different in many ways. We all have the different stories, experiments, hobbies and all kind of things. I don’t like to be same as all the people, so I made myself lots of differences from others. For example, I started to learn new stuff like basketball. Now, basketball became my favorite sport and I play it almost everyday. On the one hand, everyone takes different jobs in this world and makes this world run, like me I am a student. On the other hand, we all have different characters. I am a person who is always outgoing and happy, but I was a totally different person in the past because all the things I experienced changed me.
hello Mr.Griffin:
ReplyDeletei am Krisjanis Reinfelds. I think every person is different. For example, I am Latvian. In latvia we have namedays, i am different ,and every people have different hobbies. My hobbies is hockey and bokss. I like helping my family back home.I am here to play hockey and study and want to go to college. I can get more chances.
Since there are a couple of people, they are twins, but they still have the difference in fingerprints. Though they are looked alike very much. When I came here, I met a person who was born in the same date as mine. We got a lot of similarity in a way, but there are still some differences between us. I think my temper is not good as his. And our family backgrounds are various, so it builds a whole different view between our two. I prefer playing sports and enjoying the moment of the match. However, I was timid when I was a little kid. I started to get many friends since I played basketball, basketball broke my protective screen of lacking communication. And I’m sanguine now, I can talk with strangers confidently, other than hide behind my parents. Different idols, different regions I live, and different religion also make me different. I believe that’s why I am myself.
