Describe the things you do that brings you the greatest satisfaction.

I feel that the things that bring me satisfaction are things I do to feel happy and a sense of achievement. To me, satisfaction is when I manage to do some difficult exercise like "muscle ups" and "piston squats" when I can run as fast as the speed of light and I manage to complete a tough Cross Fit workout. Sometimes I also feel good to be respected and looked up to. Satisfaction is something that cannot be seen or heard; it can never be bought with money or stolen from somebody. It can only be felt when you work hard and put in extra effort to see improvement in your results. In this essay, I will talk about things I do to achieve the greatest sense of satisfaction.

There are some things I do in life that help me to feel satisfied;one of them is exercising. Being able to complete a 12-km run within a timing of 55 minutes is already a sense of satisfaction. It gives me hope and motivates me to improve my physical and mental endurance. Satisfaction is the engine that drives me forward because tasting the sense of accomplishment is like a form of addiction I simply cannot stop feeling satisfied when I look into the mirror and stare at myself. The change in me makes me feel good. Changes like having more define muscles shape or I become better in doing physical activities are improvement. When I see changes in me, I feel satisfied. Hence exercise is one of the things I do that has brought me the great sense of satisfaction.

Secondly,education is also another platform that brings me the sense of satisfaction. Although I dislike studying, achievement is one of the reason that made me have a love-hate feelings towards studies. In school, I would usually try to be first in class or at least top 5 in class. Sometimes it`s a challenge for me to ace the latest class test as I would not have energy to continue studying after a long day in school and after I complete my daily workout routine. However I am a fighter and I would not easily give in to sleep. I will burn the midnight oil because I think its worth persevering when I top the class for test. Being top I class is not easy therefore it is a sense of achievement when I am top in class. Which brings me a sense of satisfaction. Education is hence one of the things that brings me satisfaction.

Lastly, having good relationship also brings me a great sense of satisfaction. Being able to work with my teammates or peers around me brings me a sense of satisfaction. Miscommunication is common in today`s society. One of the main reasons that caused miscommunication is the wrong usage of tones. 
Therefore, I often quarrel with my peers because of this. It is not easy to have a smooth communication with somebody moreover there are too many peers in life to take note of. Therefore, I feel satisfied when I am able to run camps smoothly or present a good project in front  of the class with my group members. Therefore I feel satisfied when I manage to cross the barrier of miscommunication, because once I am able to overcome this problem, things will be done easier and with better communication, relationship among people will improve. Hence, this is a sense of satisfaction.

In conclusion, satisfaction is about being able to accomplish something, those are the 3 things that often bring me a sense of satisfaction as I often learn new things from it. Being encouraged and looked up to also gives me a sense of satisfaction.

"EVERY DAY HEROS ARE NOT HARD TO FIND" REFLECT ON HOW THIS IS TRUE IN YOUR EXPERIENCE.

Everyday heroes can be found around us. It can be anyone from any occupation, a man or a woman. In my opinion, everyday heroes are people who impact others around them. They are not hard to find, but their actions are unnoticed because we are too caught up with our own lives. An example of an everyday hero will be charity workers who dedicate their time and effort in helping the less fortunate to improve their lives. There are many different types of everyday heroes in the world, and in this essay I will share 3 experience on how are everyday heroes found in my daily life experiences.

Everyday heroes are people who save others that are in danger and they put their lives at risk to save others. My friend Kevin is an everyday hero because he works as a lifeguard. People like him are not hard to find because they are stationed everywhere around the beach or swimming pool. He might not be a hero just by standing there, but he is one when your life is in danger. My friend Kevin  is a saviour because he shared with me that almost every day there is a handful of people who almost lose their lives due to various reasons. Therefore, he has to be alert at all times and risk his life by swimming against the current to save people who are trapped in the torrent of waves. Thus, he is an everyday hero because he is lucky enough to save many lives of others at the expenses of his health. He shared with me that every minute is precious especially when people are in danger and decisions must be finalised in the nick of time. Thus, my friend Kevin is an example of an everyday hero and they live among us.

Everyday heroes are people who are willing to sacrifice their time and energy for us. They will go the extra mile to see you happy and make your life much more comfortable. An example of such people will be my parents. My parents are my everyday heroes not simply because they brought me into this world, but because they are willing to go the extra mile just make me happy and comfortable. They are willing to sacrifice their time and money on me to nature me which makes me who I am today. My parents often worked overnight just to earn those extra pence to ensure that my siblings can have whatever they want. It is kind of sad how they have to suffer in silence every time they are being reprimanded by customers for doing something wrong. At the end of the frustrating day at work, they still come back with a wide smile on their faces and greet me when they are back. Thus, my parents are my everyday heroes because they are always suffering in silence when they work, they are willing to go through hardship just so that my life is much comfortable. They sacrifice the money they earn on me by satisfying my cravings and even skipped their meals to save money. Hence, they will always be my everyday hero.

Everyday heroes are people who are willing to go the extra mile and save others from hardship. A solid example would be my neighbour miss Chan. Every Sunday my neighbour and I would visit the factories of supermarkets and search for companies that are going to dispose of unsold food. Those unsold foods have been on the selling fast, thus they will be removed and thrown away. Instead of disposing those unsold foods. Miss Chan and I would try to convince those big companies that food like these are needed in refugee camps or churches. Though it is a very tedious task, we would search relentlessly for the food so that people who are less fortunate are able to live their lives much better. In times when funds are tight, those foods can brighten up people`s day because they often do not get the opportunity to have three meals a day.Fortunately there are people like I and Miss Chan who are willing to take some time out to find unsold fruits and vegetables. Ferry them to their kitchen so that they can have a nice meal. Thus, people like us are everyday heroes because we help them to feel better with good food. Their pain and agony will not be fully lifted away but, at least eased.

All in all,every day heroes are people who are willing to make sacrafises as well as go the extra mile. They will also put their life at risk to save others. It is not difficult to find everyday heroes because in society humanitarianism is highly valued. People still consider the heart and mind of others. From my above three short recounts , I have proven that everyday heroes are not hard to find.
