The ability to laugh in a difficult situation can make a lot of difficult situations easier. It happens to me a lot when I am working on stuff, whether it’s working on my snowmobile or one of my friend’s snowmobile or a four wheeler or just whenever i’m wrenching on something. I love doing things like that bye myself or with my dad because you can learn a lot bye fixing things yourself and I absolutely love it and I have a great time doing it. Sometimes I forgot this and I take things too seriously. I forget that i’m doing it for fun and sometimes just the littlest thing like a locked bolt or something doesn’t slide together right it can sidetrack my whole thought process and really bring the whole situation to a whole nother level of angry. It keeps snowballing and just gets worse and worse and instead of smiling or remembering why I do this stuff for fun, I end up getting angry or something and It’s just a crappy situation. The ability to laugh in a difficult situation means a lot and can keep me from getting into worse situations and this can be considered by me a very important skill to have. Another case of being able to laugh in situations that are none laughing situations, Is doing school work on the last week of school and still having things be assigned to you. You can do one of two things in a situation like this, you can either get really stressed out and lose sleep because you stay up all night long grinding out homework. There is another option that you have, take a study all and watch a bunch of you tube videos and grab a friend to laugh with you about how bad both of you are going too fail first semester of your senior year in high school. Both me and my laughing buddy know that we are going to get back on grind and going to do everything we can do to get our work done but because we had this laugh it makes life a little easier. It never hurts to just have a good laugh about how bad you procrastinated though. Sometimes when it can be very difficult to laugh in a difficult situation because it’s just not our body’s natural reaction, something bad happens why would I laugh right. If I can do this for often it will make all my situations I get into this much easier weather its laughing in a time of distress or not being able to laugh at a funny time. It’s something I wish I can do more often.

Laughing at difficult situations can be very tough. I know this from personal experiences with dance. not getting the results I want that i have been working for is very upsetting but to be able to laugh it off and get back up and push through it what makes it worth it.
I relate to this a lot because in some situations where I’m upset, it’s a lot easier just to be by yourself and doing things you enjoy. It really makes a difference from being around people, to being by yourself cause they effect you in many different ways. I support you for this because sometimes it is hard to realize what is best for you in hard times.
I like how you relate the story to things that mean a lot to you. You use a strong vocabulary of what you know to show a better understanding for the situation. I like how you show your understanding of the prompt and were able to relate it so well to a specific piece of your life.
I like how you talk about personal experiences and put them together with having to laugh. You tie in your personal experiences to show an emphasis on being able to take a step back and just laugh. I can relate to when you are at the end of the semester trying to get everything done. I like how you were able to relate to this assignment so well with personal experiences.
