**//1/30/09//** **//6th Hour English//** __**//Tolerance Essay//**__ ** You can find tolerance in anything. Anything and everything. You can find it with sports, siblings, or even money. I can easily tell you, and be truthful while saying this, that you have used tolerance at least once in your life. I know I have.** ** I play lots of sports including football, wrestling, and baseball. And in every one of those sports you can get seriously injured. I get hurt a lot in sports, so does other people. It could be a minor bruise, which really doesn’t hurt, or it could be a teeth-grinding sprain. But even though we get hurt, we tolerate it and get back to playing the sport, even though the pain is put in ten fold and hurts way worse.** ** I also find tolerance with my sister. She always bothers me. Whether it’s saying the same thing over and over again just to annoy me or it’s messing with my stuff. Like every time I go into my room, I always seem to find my sister playing with my guitar. When I tell her to stop, she almost always keeps doing it. At that point, I would just go into another room and ignore her.** ** Money is another thing that I find tolerance in. You see, I have a huge bundle of cash that I have been saving up for a long time. But every time I go to the store, I get so tempted to buy something. It’s like the store is putting the stuff I want to buy right in my face and yelling in my ear,”Buy this. You know you want to. It will make you happy!” But then I just turn away, and then there is something else I want to buy! That’s when I walk right out the front door of the store and go home.** ** After reading what I find tolerance in, ask yourself what you find tolerance in. It could be food, activities, or even sports. If you can’t think of anything, ask someone to watch you and see what you tolerate. And in the end, you’ll find something, I guarantee it.**
