Tolerance Writing Rough Draft

__Tolerance can be defined in many ways and can vary from person to person.__ Many examples of tolerance are defined in activities and places. Nature or natural incidents are perfect candidates for tolerant behavior as well as people and academic areas. The willingness of these hardships known as tolerance is expressed differently from person to person, depending on the specific situation.

__For me, tolerance is much more than willingness to express an opinion that I do not agree with.__ For instance, hunting requires extensive amounts of patients and the ability to be tolerant. When opening day of deer season comes around, November 15, usually the weather is not the most enjoyable. As temperatures maintain about 32 degrees all day, my dad and I are stuck out in the rain, sleet, and snow all day getting drenched, cold, and most of all, annoyed with all the fuddy-duddy precipitation. There are even days we endure the gruesome conditions and see no deer, or anything but trees and slush for that matter. Somehow, my dad and I manage to be tolerant enough to go back out and repeat the process over and over again, just for the thrill of getting the trophy buck, or delicious venison sausage.

__Quite often, when hunting seasons come to a close, I start off new expeditions.__ Many of these memorable moments include fishing with my family and friends at my personal favorite hot spots; Sycamore Bend and Lake Charlevoix. I have had many unforgettable montages with both locations that have tested my tolerance more than any quarterly assessment ever could. One of the most memorable adventures I ever had that really sticks out to happened one warm summer day at Sycamore Bend when I hadn’t even gotten a single bite all day. The fish just don’t cooperate sometimes. Despite not catching a single scaly critter that day, I was tolerant with this outcome, even though it was extremely hard to maintain. As my dad says, “That’s why it’s called fishing and not catching.”

__Perhaps the most tolerant I have been has involved neither hunting or fishing, but with teachers and their inability to grade in an efficient and timely matter__. One of my favorite parts of school and the projects assigned to us is the joy of accomplishment and success when my assignment is returned. When I don’t receive my work after a while, I get rather irritated. Usually, I am really tolerant with my teachers and can be patient for a while, but when days turns to weeks, I get a little impatient and intolerant. Upon reaching this point, I usually approach the teacher and alert them of my crisis and my problem is usually fixed. Due to my high level of tolerance, I am also more patient than most people with lower tolerance, especially when it comes to the academic fields.

With varied definitions, the word tolerance has many meanings to different people, whether it be placed academically, or a patience with nature, everyone has their own way of displaying and describing tolerance. Hardships and challenges involve much willingness and sacrificial actions, all just to be tolerant, but in the long run, it is definitely worth it. __Regardless of your methods of expressing tolerance, as long as you present that method, there is not a chance that you lack the ability to be patient and show the tolerance that you are able to represent upon yourself and others.__

4. Yes it has interesting and different sentence length, Ex1. Upon reaching this point, I usually approach the teacher and alert them of my crisis and my problem is usually fixed. Ex2. As my dad says, “That’s why it’s called fishing and not catching.”
