"The Scarlet Ibis" Expectations
Expectations are those things we believe a person is capable of doing or becoming. We will be reading a story in which every person has different expectations for the younger child, William Armstrong, since he is a special person. Think about your parents, siblings, friends, teachers, and coaches. What are their expectations of you? How do you feel about those expectations? What are your expectations of others (ex: siblings, friends, others in society)? Are they reasonable? Blog about these questions as well as your thoughts on expectations.

The expectations of me are to keep the house clean, to let the dogs out, make sure my sister and I get to school, and my homework is all done. I feel they are good expectations for my age. My expectations of other are to keep themselves in line, to not do anything that will hurt them in the long run. YES, they are very reasonable expectations. Expectations are the things that people except out of you. they except you to do them or live up to them.
ReplyDeleteI think my parents', coaches' and society's expectations are to behave as if I'm a mature adult, but be treated like a 6th grader. We are supposed to be responsible but aren't given freedom. I feel like this is unfair to people my age. I do believe we should act mature, and thats not hard to do, but we aren't always given the freedom that we feel we deserve. This is an example of a double standard that come along with expectations from adults in teens' lives.
ReplyDeleteMy parents have very high expectations of me. They believe that I can do anything. I think this can be a good thing and a bad thing. I feel like it is a good thing because my parents are confident with me. I feel like they think I can do it. However this can be a bad thing because if I do bad on an assignment of in a game I feel like I have let them down. Just last quarter my mom saw that I had gotten a B+. She didn't yell at me of tell me she was mad at me but I could just tell she was upset and disappointed. I am glad that my parents have high expectations of me. Maybe not right now but in the long run I will have a better chance of succeeding. Just like my parents have high expectations of me I have high expectations of my sister. I set goals for her that I think she can achieve. I help her practice so she can achieve those goals. I think that having expectations for a others is a good thing because it makes you and others better.
ReplyDeleteMany of other people expect us to be helpful and nice and some of us like that but others hate being nice and they like being mean. Some of my friends are nice and fun some all ready know when I start to blow to let me be alone sometimes. My family justs wants me to say what I have to and be done with it. Yes i think they are being reasonable because they all want to help me blow steam off faster and they make it come out instead of letting it boil up inside. Until I want to burst open and scream my lungs out so i think every precieves everyone in their own personal way.
ReplyDeleteMy parents expectations are getting good grades, and doing the dishes, and trying my hardest in the sports that I do. These are very reasonable expectations. As long as I do what is expected from me, I will get luxuries. But if I fail to do these, than my cell phone gets taken away. What I expect from my family, is to give me time to myself. Sometimes I just like being alone, and that's what I want. To not be bothered at certain times, and be left alone. I think what i expect is reasonable, because all they really have to do is just leave me alone sometimes and that is it.
ReplyDeleteMy parents and as well as my teacher's expectations are about the same. They both want me to do my very best and try my hardest. They want me to succeed. They expect me do well, and I have to do my best to do so. I feel like these expectations are like goals. I want to achieve them. I feel as if I have to live up to them, because they are important in life. My expectations are about the same for my siblings, friends, and etc. We want each other to achieve. We want what is best for each other. I expect that they are responsible and very trustworthy. I believe that they are reasonable. I think it is more like daily life stuff that you live by and up to. These expectations push each other and they make yourself better. You also have to know your own expectations. Sometimes people expect to much out of each other, but if you know your own expectations, you live up to yours.
ReplyDeleteEverybody has expectations for everyone they know. Coaches expect me to always give a hundred and ten percent in practice and in games. They also expect me to know what to do in certain situations. My friends and siblings expect me to help them when they need help no matter what the task is. Sometimes expectations can be unreasonable and depending on the situation you may not be able to complete them. Teachers expect me to try my hardest on my homework and expect me to get it done on time.
ReplyDeleteThe expectations for a lot of people are very high. The reason being is that the teachers see your potential and what you can accomplish. The teachers hold you to that standard. When you do something bad and they know that you can do this project or homework they help you redo it. Friends should hold each other accountable for their expectations. If your friends are just seeing that you are doing stuff just to get by they should push you to do stuff to the best of your abilities. The family is also accountable for each other. If your sister or your brother is discouraged help them out make sure that they do the best that they can on what they are doing make sure that they see that you have high standards for them.
ReplyDeleteMy parents expectations for me are to do good in school and get good grades. They also want me to come out of my shell and be more open with others and express my feelings and what I believe in. My brothers expectations for me are to probably make it to State next year and place. That is also an expectation that my parents want me to achieve. I believe my friends would want me to become more open with myself and be more out going. My teachers expectations are most likely the same as my friends expectations because I don't really talk a lot during class and I hate giving speeches and getting up in front of the class and talking. My coaches expectations for me are probably just to make to districts next year or maybe even make it to State I don't even know. My parents expectations for me also is to be open with myself and be confident with what I believe in. I feel really good about these expectations because I know that I am capable of doing all of those.
ReplyDeleteI think someones expectations for you can only be as high as the expectations you have for yourself. There is however, a similarity between expectation and responsibility. My parents expect me to do my chores, my homework, and all other things that will help me achieve more later in life. These are also my responsibilities. I am very independent. I like having responsibilities. I like when my parents have expectations for me. It means they believe I can do these things for myself, and correctly. I also have expectations for others. For example, in my work group for a class assignment. I expect the other members to be involved, input ideas, thoughts and yes participate in the assignment. Sometimes that doesn't always work out the best. However, I think one of the teachers' expectations for me it to be able to work through problems within a group. So all of the responsibilities that aren't carried out by a group member become my responsibilities. I am okay with that. I like proving myself capable of these responsibilities to my teachers, coaches, parents, and other people. I like expectations.
ReplyDeleteAs a kid I have many expectations set by my parents and peers. They expect me to be respectful, get good grades, help others, and be honest. I feel these expectations are very reasonable. They help teach you to treat others how you want to be treated. I believe everyone should have these expectations. They aren't over the top all you have to do is put in a little effort. Although I don't have many expectations of my friends and family I do expect the few I have to be followed. The main one is to respect others. Even if you don't care for someone I still believe everyone deserves to be respected. One other expectation I have is to be completely honest. It's better to be honest with someone and hurt them than to lie and hurt them even more. I believe my expectations are reasonable. I don't think they are too over the top and I don't believe they are very hard to follow.
ReplyDeleteYour parents always expect you to be a nice respectful little child but there are times when you slip up and do something wrong and they are not happy. You tried your best not to do anything wrong but there is always that time that you make the one mistake and they don't like it. Sometimes I fell that some of the expectations that they give for you to follow are way extreme at times. No one is perfect and there will always be a hiccup in the road and you will do something that you were not expected to do. Most of the expectations that your family gives you are expected but then there are the ones like don't stay up passed your bed time, that is pretty hard to do. Like when they tell you to eat all of your food and you don't like some and then they get mad because they expect you to eat all your food. I don't think all the expectations that they give you are not reasonable but some other ones are.
ReplyDeleteThe expectations people have for me are very high. My family has set very high standers and now people expect the same from me. I feel that some of their expectations are very high. Some I believe I can not do but I still push myself to try my hardest I give it my everything so then people can believe in me. But in most cases I am very successful with what people believe I can achive. My expectations of other are to try and push themselves and give it all they have. The expectations are very reasonable. I believe in my heart and soul that anyone can do anything that they want if they believe in themselves and give it their best shot. And even if they can't achive it atleast they tried and that would be all I would expect.
ReplyDeleteThe expectations of my teachers are that I do good on tests assignments and projects. The expectations of my parents is that I make the right decisions in life and be successful. These expectations I think are very doable and that their good for me so I can be a successful adult. My expectations for my parents are to take care of me and be their for me when I need them. And the expectations for my teachers are that they can teach me the right material and also teach me right from wrong. And they are reasonable because they have been doing a good job for the past couple of years
ReplyDeleteI have a lot of expectations from my parents. For example some expectations are..... Do well in school. Do what your told. Do not backtalk. Don't be mean to others. Don't use inappropriate words. Be nice to people. I think the expectations my parent's give me are very reasonable. I give my 2 younger siblings expectations. I try to be there role model. I just tell them to respect others. Also my friends expect me to help them when they need help and you always be there for them when they need somebody. Teachers expect there students to get there work done on time. Pretty much everyone has expectations
ReplyDeleteThe expectations for me is that I pay attention in class, do my homework, work hard and never give up. I do most of them but do my homework. I don't do my homework because i don't want to do it. My expectations for my parents is that they will make us food, do our laundry, buy us clothes, and take care of us. I think they are reasonable because they are our parents and that is their job. If they didn't then we wouldn't make it.
ReplyDeleteI know my parents and always tell me they expect that I have passing grades and that I be involved in everything possible because if you have the good grades and your involved in more things, you have the opportunity to do a lot more things, to go more places, and feel more successful in life. I believe that is a reasonable expectation because if you have good grades it makes you as a person look better to others and makes you feel good about yourself, and being involved with activities gives you the chance to meet new people, make more friends, and possibly go more places.
ReplyDeleteSome of my expectations for like my siblings and friends is they trust and respect me for who I am, what I do and How I live my life. I believe thats a reasonable expectation because trust and respect are very important things both physically to ourselves and mentally inside of us and to our self-esteem.
No matter what, I just think everyone has really high expectations. My parents want me to be really good at sports and want me to get better and better every year. My siblings really have no expectations for me as long with my friends. The teachers expect me to do good in school and to get good grades so I can play sports, because they know as well as me that I like to be in sports. Now my coaches they expect me to always be taking it to the next level their level if you will in a way. I feel good, because in all I like that because it pushes me to get twice as good from the year before and they keep me in shape. My expectations to others would be come on you can do better than that, don't give up. I would very well say my expectations are reasonable... I mean its not like they are asking me to run everything or full out sprint. They are not asking much if you think about.
ReplyDeleteExpectations are important in life. They help different individuals strive for things. My mom has many expectations for me such as, getting good grades, keeping my room clean, which rarely happens, and most important to be a good person. These expectations help me in life to complete things that are important to me. I push myself to get good grades, because I want to achieve stuff in life but also because I know that, that is one of my moms most important expectation. My friends and siblings have different expectations for me such as staying out of my sister's room, having fun with my friends, etc. My coaches expectations are kinda like teacher's expectations in some ways. Coaches want you to be successful with what you are doing, to them it is about the sport, but for teachers it is about your school work. Coaches and teachers also want you to get good grades in school, those are their expectations. I believe that peoples expectations for me are reasonable. I make sure I push myself to reach those expectations. Other people's expectations on me has really made me strive for the things I want. Expectations are a big part in my life.
ReplyDeletePeople around me always tell me I'm smart that I will go somewhere in life, that I have large amounts of potential, but I don't always see it in myself. I know I'm smart but I forget sometimes with the stresses I go through. all the homework and chores. The teachers always tell me to pay attention and do good things, and I really try to do my best. Other expectations are that I can be the bigger man and walk away from people who pick on me or my siblings, but it's not as easy as it seems with ADHD and the annoyances of life its not easy to walk away or calm down. I'm expected to get good grades, do my best in school, and be responsible and it's hard to be what everyone wants me to be. I think that they are reasonable but I don't always try to meet the expectations that people want me to live up to it makes me feel like I have to do this or I have to do that and I get tired of it.
ReplyDeleteEveryone has some expectations for themselves and others in their life. In my life, my parents expect me to try my hardest in whatever I do. In school, they want me to do my best on every test or assignment. Teachers expect me to do my homework and study for tests, so I can get good grades. My coaches also expect me to try my hardest in the sports that I play. They trust that I will try every time I come to practice or during a game. My friends and siblings expect me to help them when they need help and to be honest with them. I believe that all the expectations my parents, friends, coaches, and teachers have for me are realistic expectations and I should try to do the things everyday. I expect others to treat me like I treat them. If I am nice to them, they should be nice back. Another thing I expect from my friends, siblings, and other people is to be honest to me and to others. I also believe that everyone should try their hardest in the things that they do. We all have to go to school, so why not try while you're here, instead of not doing the work. I feel that my expectations for other people are reasonable and can be accomplished by everyone. I think that expectations are a good thing for yourself and others to have, because it makes you push yourself harder to achieve those goals. If many people expect you to do things, then you will work towards that expectation a little harder than just one person telling you to do it.
ReplyDeleteExpectations are something we deal with everyday. Like right now, you're expecting me to write this blog. And I'm expecting to points for doing so. We all have expectations. Our teachers expect us to listen in class, pay attention, do our homework, and use time well. My siblings expect me to be coming home, expect me to be on the bus, little things, like expect me to be there when they wake up. My parents expect me to not mouth off, not to speak, not to express myself. My friends expect for me to be there for them, open and reply to all of the double chin snapchats, expect for me to want to go beat up their ex-boyfriends, and to all the drama that they have, and for me to have their backs. My coaches expect me to practice on my own, have things memorize, juggle the ball better, always be better the next time round. I feel like sometimes those expectations can a little to high. But they are nothing compared to the expectations I have for myself. I like knowing people can expect things from me, gives me something to work for, and then smash the expectations they had for me. Now my expectations in others, are a lot different for everyone. With my parents I expect food, running water, and a roof over my head. From my coaches I expect that they will tell me what I'm doing wrong, and give me advice to improve. My friends, I expect not much, I just them simply to be a good friend. In others in society, well I expect them to help store faith in humanity. I do believe all of these are reasonable. I believe my expectations and others expectations of me are reasonable. Well i'm expecting that anyway.
ReplyDeleteMy parents give me high expectations. When I meet their expectations that they set, they set a higher expectation for me to achieve. My youngest sister ,of the four I have, has higher expectations that my parents set since she is older then me. My other sister is know to be lazy and not do anything productive, so my parents have really low expectations for her. My oldest sister I live with, has a tendency of doing things right and getting stuff done, so her expectations are a lot higher then the others are. My dad has little expectation for her because, she has messed up a lot of her life to start with. I think expectations are great to have because it gets you to want to do more because people will think more highly of you.
ReplyDeleteI think that there expectations for me is that they want me to have success in life. I believe that my teachers and parents want me to go to college and have a career that will make me happy. I think that my siblings and friends expect me to be a good rollmodel, especially my siblings. My siblings expect me to do the right thing in situations and be responsible. I like the expectations because I know that they want good things for me. My expectations on others is to be kind and caring about others and to take responsibility for there actions. I think that my expectations are reasonable.
ReplyDeleteMy parents expect me to be responsible and respect them. My parents also expect me to be nice to my sibling as well as my friends, teachers, and coaches. My teachers all expect me to get my homework done right and on time, they also have trust in us and we are supposed to make sure that the trust doesn't get broken. This also requires us to be on our best behavior and to stay out of trouble. Friends expect us to tell them about thing that you may not want to tell other people, but you expect them not to tell other people either. And lastly coaches, coaches expect you to give 110% in every thing that you do which includes academics to extracurricular activities. Expectations are something that you need in life to succeed or else you will never reach any goals. Expectations are reasonable because they push you that extra mile so it is easier in the long run.
ReplyDeleteEveryone has expectations for me in life. My parents is to get my homework done, keep my room clean, and do everything else at my best ability. My younger siblings is to be a good role model and be there for when they need my help. My older siblings to help them out when they need it. All of my expectations for them is to be there when I need help. My teachers expectations for me is to get good grades and get my homework done. My expectations for them is answer my questions and help me when I don't understand. My friends expectations for me is to be there for them and push them, so they do their best. My expectations for them is the same. I'm glad that people expect so much out of me, because it pushes me to get my goals and do my best, because I wouldn't want to let them down. I think that the expectations people give me and I give them are very reasonable.
ReplyDeleteI think my parents siblings coaches and teachers all have high expectations for you. It only matters if you are willing to fill them. I think my mom and dad expect me to be responsible for my chores and homework and yet be nice to my younger and older siblings as well. My teachers expect me to get homework done and try to do it to the best of my ability. People in general expect me to be a young adult, so that I'm not treated like a little fifth grader. I think my coaches expectations are to always go to the limit, and show up at practice. One coach also told me to practice on my own time not just on the field. I think all these expectations are very reasonable and are possible.
ReplyDeleteA lot of people have expectations for me. My parents expect me to get good grades, be a mature teenager, and handle all other resonsiblilties I have around my home. For example, I had a B in one class this last quarter and whenever that happens my parents text me and ask me why it's that way. It may not seem like it now but it's probably for the best. I have parents that really care and want to succeed and give me the opportunity to do that. Some people's parents don't care about their grades or even them, and that's sad. At the age I am now I still expect my parents to do certain things for me like, a few dollars here and there, shelter, food, and transportation. But I'm growing up and eventually, I'll have to move out, find a job, pay for all my things. People should be very grateful of their parents.
ReplyDeleteI have a lot of expectations at home, like to clean when the house gets dirty and do the dishes after everyones done eating. My sisters expect me to bring them to school somedays. My parents Expect me to do a lot of stuff like do good in school and watch my sisters. My teachers also have a lot of expectations of me like doing good in school, even though it doesn't always happen. Many people have many expectations of me and i try me best to meet all of the good exceptions.
ReplyDeleteI believe that my parents, teachers and coaches, expect me to get good grades and try my hardest at everything i do. My parents push for me to be out for sports and do my chores at home. my coaches is to be at practice and work to 100% of my ability. My siblings look at me to be a roll model and someone who they can always have fun with. my teachers expect me to get good grades and stay on top of my school work. I believe that my sibling should be there for me just as much as i'm there for them, that my teachers will be understanding if i have a couple of late assignments, that my coach wont push me to fare or over my breaking point to where i will get hurt, and that my parents will back me up on any decision i choose to make and always try to help me with grades or sports or controlling the stress in my life whenever they can.
ReplyDeleteMy parents have high expectations of me. They want me to get good grades, be a good driver, be a good sibling, take care of my dogs and do my chores. They expect me to be a good person everyday. My siblings don't expect much from me other than helping them when needed or not fighting and arguing with them. My teachers expect me to do my homework and get it done on time. They expect me to try my best and pay attention in their class. They also expect me to show up on time and not cause trouble in their classes. They expect me to treat others good and think wisely. My coaches expect me to work hard and pay attention. They expect me to show up to practice everyday, focus on what I'm doing, not cause drama throughout my team, and push myself to be the best I can be. They also expect me to get good grades because being a student comes before being an athlete. My friends expect me to keep their secrets and be there for them. They expect me to have fun with them and hang out with them. They also expect me to be a good person towards them. I feel as though all of these expectations are reasonable and can be met quite easily. I have very similar expectations for all of these people also. I expect my teacher to give me a fair grade on something i turned in. I expect them to tell me if what I have is right or wrong and I also expect them to treat me fairly. I expect them to answer my questions when I ask them and help me understand the material they are teaching me. I expect my sibling to not treat me unfairly. I expect my friends to push me to be a better person and help me in certain situations. I expect them to give me advice and help me obtain the goals I wish to achieve. I expect them to know that my grades and sports are important to me and I expect them to encourage me in everything I do. I expect society to accept me as I am with all of my imperfections because no one is perfect. I believe these expectations are reasonable and obtainable.
ReplyDeleteEveryone has different expectations for me. My parents expectations of me is to do my chores without being asked, help my mom in the house when she needs it, let the dogs out every night and give them more food and water when they need it, also do everything to my best ability. The expectations my older siblings have for me is to help them if they need it and to be a good kid. My expectations for my older siblings would be to be there for me when I need it, and to help me with my homework if I need any help, also to push me to reach my goals. The teachers expectations for me would be keep my grades up, do my homework, get help if I need it and to be a good student. The expectations I have for them is to answer any questions I may have, teach me on how to do stuff. My expectations for my friends would be to be there for me whenever I need it, push me to do my best and be supportive. Their expectations for me would be the same. My coaches expectations for me would be to be at practice on time, be prepared, and give 100% all the time. The expectations I have for them would be to coach us in a effective way so we won't lose all the time. I like the fact that people have high expectations for me because it helps me strive for what I want and reach my goals. I also think that the expectations people give me and I give them are reasonable.
ReplyDeleteExpectations are put on everyone. Some of the expectations that are put on me by my family are my grades. They expect me to get A's in all of my classes. they also believe that I should try my best in extra curricular activities like sports and speech. As for coaches they don't expect me to be the best, they just expect me to try my best, and I do the best I can. Some of the expectations I put on my friends are that they take me seriously and they will always be there when I need someone to depend on. Things that I expect my coaches to do are to understand that I am not the best but I want to be pushed. As for my Family I expect them to realize that I don't goof off, I wake up at 5:00 go lift everyday, go to school, go to practice, head home at 6:00, do homework, have a couple hours to myself, go to sleep, and repeat. I will try my best and do what you expect from me, but I expect the same from you.
ReplyDeleteI have a lot of expectations in life, like do my homework, get good grades, and help around the house. I have different expectations from different people in life. My Parents need me to do my homework and get good grade and help around the House. I think their expectations are reasonable because they have expectations from me. Its my parents responsibility to get the basic needs. Food, Water, Shelter, and things like that. Those are my expectations of them. I think the expectations I have for people and the ones people give me are very reasonable.
ReplyDeleteMy parents expect to me to do good in school, not fall behind and they push me to do things because they don't want me to struggle in life. They expect to do my chores and always stay ahead of the game. These exceptions are reasonable, they are easy but sometimes difficult to do. Because I hate disappointing people. My mom sometimes expect me to take care of my sisters when she is gone. Or when she works late she has me make sure that they've ate. And also keep the house clean. My dad doesn't expect a lot from me, but he expects me to take care of the dog and also always tell him where I'm going before leaving. And always talk to him about something the night before I do it. Teachers expect everyone in there class to have the homework done when its supposed to be handed in. Coaches push everyone in practice so they become better at what the sport is. I think everyone will always have exceptions for others.
ReplyDeleteEveryone has different expectations of me. Some people have low expectations and I highly disagree with them. Others have somewhat high expectations. I'm not a straight A student. When it comes to grades I think that people expect me to get A's on everything. I do good in some classes but others just aren't my thing. My coaches have high expectations but they're making me push myself to get better at the sport. I think I have high expectations for other people then i do myself. I'm not the fasted person but i expect myself to stay somewhere in the middle of the pack.
ReplyDeleteA lot of people have expectations for me in my life. My parents want me to do great in school and in sports. My coaches I have to be responsible to be there at practice and give it 110%. My teachers want me to have my homework done so they can put grades in. If i didn't get pushed by my parents I would be a loser. So they expect me to be a leader on and off the field or wrestling mat. We all are expected to stand by for what we believe in. Like religion, traditions, and family customs. I am expected to do chores everyday. My family and the world depends on me. Just because I don't have much doesn't mean I can help a lot. So people are worrying about where there next meal will come from. They will expect me to be out there till sunrise till sun fall working my butt off giving all I got. All these expectations will make me a better in the end.
ReplyDeleteEveryone has expectations. Some may be little expectations and some may be huge expectations. My parents expect me to clean my room, maintain decent grades, do household chores, and to do everything else to my best ability. My siblings have similar expectations. I think that the things that I am required to do are pretty simple. Sometimes I look at them as huge struggles, but they aren't really bad at all. Looking at the world expectations, it relates to what I will have to do in the future. Some of these things are jobs, education, and maybe even family, farther down the line. Expectations move with you as you get older and progress in difficulty that we know as daily life. Sometimes expectations aren't even thought of as expectations because they are so common. Overall, most expectations are reasonable, and even if you don't like them, life goes on. When you let others down by not maintaining your own expectations, other people fail you as well. I personally expect friends and family to be there when you need them, and if you aren't there for them, they won't be there for you. If we didn't have expectations, nothing would get done.
ReplyDeleteI think that many people have expectations for me. My parents expect me to act respectful around other, get good grades, work my hardest, and to be helpful when they need it. They expect me to be able to do things on my own and have responsibility. I think they expectations are good because I know I am capable of doing everything that they ask me to do, like getting my homework done and keeping my room clean. My teachers also expect me to do my homework, which is pretty obvious. My coaches also have expectations of me. They expect me to be at practice everyday and when I am there, that I will work as hard as i can to make myself better. This reminds me of basketball. Moenck would say multiple times "now is when we get better" or "make yourself better today." Also Brad would expect me to work hard too, especially in games. If Madison or Abby needed a break, Brad expected me to be able to go in as point guard for then. It was a little outside my comfort zone at first but i knew i was capable of doing it help out my team. During the end of the season, the upperclassmen players expected us to work hard and make them better for the important games that were coming up. Dunlap expects me to run as hard as I can to help my team in track, and I know I can do that and so does he.
ReplyDeleteThere are many things that various people expect of me. My parents expect me to get good grades, do my homework, and help with chores. They always ask me about my grades when they feel they're not high enough. With chores, they expect me to do a lot of different things. I feel it's unfair because everything I'm supposed to do, someone else os already helping to do it. I feel like there's no need for me to be around helping milk when there is already three other people in the parlor. Then, I get yelled at for not doing anything when there isn't really a place for me in the beginning. My teachers expect a lot from me too. The know I have the abilities to do the things that they assign. I don't have a problem with it because it's usually pretty easy to complete. It does get kind of hard though when there is homework from each class that is due the next day. My coaches expect me to memorize questions and keep improving everyday. It's very reasonable because they want what's best for me.
ReplyDeleteI have big expectations for the next couple of years for sports and school. My wrestling coach told me that i'm capable of being on the top of the podium for wrestling down in Des Moines in the next couple of years. I also think my family knows that i'm capable of that goal of mine as well. My teachers know what I can do in the class room I can't do everything but I can do a lot of it. My friends know what I am capable of doing they've seen me accomplish big steps as just a freshmen so I think they also think I can accomplish my goal. My brother has very big expectations next year for going to college at the University of Upper Iowa in Fayette. He is going to be playing football and wrestling in college. To do both of them in college is very rare at a DII college. My sister is a preschool teacher at Jesup Community school district she does a great job at what she does.
ReplyDeleteI believe that there are many people who hold me to high expectations. By my teachers I am expected to get my work done and be a responsible student. By my parents I am expected to work hard in everything that I do, do everything the best that I can, do my chores, get along with my sisters, and to be kind to everyone. By my sisters I am expected to be there for them when they need me and to help them out in anyway that I can. My friends expectations for me are to be there for them, keep secrets, and to be a good friend. My coaches expectations are to work hard in what I do, be positive, and to make good choices inside and outside of those sports. My expectations for my family is to be there for me if I need them to and for my parents to be good role models for myself. I expect my teachers be there for me if I have questions and to help me out and be understanding. My expectations for my coaches is to help me to get better and to improve my skills to be the best that I can. I expect my friends to be there for me and to help me out when I need it. I like that people hold me to high expectations because it makes me want to meet those and that makes me a much better person. I think that the expectations that I hold for others and that others hold for me are very reasonable.
ReplyDeleteEveryone has expectations for you. Some of them are just to big for you to live up to but nobody's perfect and you do make mistakes in life but you have to own up to your mistakes and learn from them to make yourself a better person. Expectations for me to my parents are to be a good kid and to be respectful and to live by my values and i do live my life to my values and i try my best everyday to do what i can. Teachers expectations are to get my homework done on time and to be in class everyday. How do i feel about those expectations.... my parents gave up on me a few years ago so i don't care what they say and my teachers i still go to school and i try my best to get my homework done. I don't have expectations for others because i'm not gonna tell how to live there life and what i want from them because there their own person let them do what they want. And to own up to there mistakes and i hope they learn from them to be better people. The only person i have expectations for is my girlfriend and all i want from her is to finish high school and to love me everyday and to never give up on me through the tough times that's all i want. My expectations ain't that hard at all and it's not that hard to do.
ReplyDeleteAlmost everyone I know have expectations for me, from my coaches to my family. My coaches expect me to work hard in practice, fundraising, and meets and performances. In speech and drama you are expected to go outside of your comfort zone and when I do, I get the satisfaction of succeeding. In FFA I am expected to be a leader and do the right thing like keeping your grades up, stay out of trouble, being nice to others, and to go all out. Then when I go home at night I am expected to go do my homework, help with my siblings homework, and help around the house. My expectations for the rest of my family are to stay out of trouble, have good grades, and be involved and stay involved. My friends push me to my greatest to be the best that I can. Then seniors expect me to be the best I can and use my abilities to the greatest point, because if I use my strengths and work on my weaknesses then I can become a better person overall. When people push me to be the best I then push myself, and when everyone around you pushes you and you encourage yourself about it, you will be a better person inside the classroom, at home, at games, meets, and performances.
ReplyDeleteExpectations are all around me and also everyone. "You can do better," and "You could of won that match." We hear it everywhere. My parents expect me to have all A's in school. Grades are first then sports. Then, in wrestling i am expected to try my best, and be a good sport. My coaches expectations are the same with school first and then you worry about the sports. And in school it is to have A's, B's, and C's in school and to try to improve in wrestling. Friends expectations are mostly to just be there and to be a good friend. Some expect you to help them with stuff too. Teachers just expect you to try. They know that not every kid is a 4.0 straight A's student and they try to help you with your school work as much as they can. And siblings are a lot like friends, wanting you to just be there. That is if you get along with them. But there is also another side to expectations. The expectations you have in others. But also in yourself. Some people get down on themselves for getting a B on a test because there expectations of themselves is high. Some people expect themselves to win most matches in wrestling. But there is a difference between stuck-up and having high expectations. Some of my expectations in others is to be a good friend and to sometimes help me with my homework or to help me learn a new move in wrestling. There are more expectations on you then you have on others. That is how I feel it should be.
ReplyDeleteMy parents have expectations for me. They expect me to get my homework done and show up for work on time. If I don't, they get disappointed and I feel as if I let them down. They also want me to be a good older brother and set good examples for my sisters. It is the same way for sports. Your coaches always expect you to try your hardest. They always give you high goals to reach. For example, Coach Meehan wants me to run a 2:15 800 this year. I run a 2:31 as of right now. Coach has high expectations for me and he thinks that I can do it. I think this also helps you become a better athlete because it is pushing you to get that. It makes you more of a competitive person. Therefore I like when someone has high expectations for me. It makes me want to work harder and I am sure it makes people feel the same way.
ReplyDeleteI believe the expectations my mom and dad has for me are different then my coach or my teacher. My parents expect me to watch out for my younger sisters, and be a good role model. They expect me to get good grades and do my homework. My teachers expectations are for me to get my homework done on time and done well. They except me to participate in class and ask questions when I need help. My coaches expectations are for me to keep getting better. If I am struggling I need to put more time into it. That is how it is with anything. People expect you to keep going even if your not doing so well. My expectations for my mom and dad is to raise me the best they can. I expect them to be there for me when I need help. Same for my teachers and coaches. For my teachers I expect them to give me a good education. For my coaches I expect them to keep pushing me. I'm happy that people except a lot out of me because it pushes me to be a better person. It also makes me work that much harder so I don't fail what they expect.
ReplyDeleteEverybody has expectations for me in life. My parents have some what low but somewhat high expectations at the same time. They allow me to do a lot of things but they just want me to be honest with them. They hate when I lie I get grounded. The expectations are going home doing chores, and homework right when i get home. They want me to get good grades in school and ask questions when I don't understand something. My siblings expectations are very low because they are all younger but they just want me to help them with there homework and hang out with them when they are board and not fight with them when they make me mad. My teachers expectations are high because they want me to do good in school, to work hard, to pay attention and to ask questions when I don't understand something, for instance Mrs Moorman, she pushes me to do good because she knows that I can do it, that I can do good in school. My coaches expectations are high to because they know that to be a good athlete and that I need to push myself past my limit to be better at what sport I love to do. Everybody has expectations for you in the real wold like your boss or even people on the streets that you barley know.
ReplyDeleteSome of my expectations are to empty out the dishwasher, make sure I have my homework done, and to have my room clean. These are good expectations for me because they make me responsible. Out on the East Coast they have different expectations that their kids do. For example Anthony was at his girlfriends house and they had company over. They were talking about hockey, something Anthony doesn't know much about, so he decided to help out with the dishes. He was putting the dishes in the dishwasher trying not to make to much noise, and he was asked what he was doing. He told them that he had to put the dishes in the dishwasher back home, everyone there thought that it was weird because it isn't normal for a guy to put the dishes away. With Anthony being gone I have been expected to do more chores around the house, then when he was home. I have learned a lot of things from Anthony, and learning to follow my expectations was one of the many things I learned from my older brother.
ReplyDeleteEveryone I know has expectations for me in my life. My dad's expectations for me right now is to get good grades, be a great athlete, and spend a lot of time with my siblings. My mom's expectations for me aren't as big, considering the fact that I don't really see her much. Her's for me right now are to get good grades, and to at least be in sports. My siblings expectations for me are to be a good role model for them, play with them (since I have three younger siblings) and always show them whats right and wrong. My older siblings just want me to go to a great college and get a great job when I get older. I think that my friends' expectations for me is to always make sure I'm there to give them a good laugh, especially when they need it most. My teachers expectations for me, as well as most students are to get homework done, participate in class, be a good listener, and at least try our best for tests, which means studying too. My coaches expectations for me I think are to always show up to work hard. They don't want me there to slack off. They know I'm capable of everything they tell me to do. I think all of these expectations may seem like a lot, but in reality everyone's capable of doing it. If it means staying up until midnight just to finish homework and studying then do it. You can always go to bed early the next day. Having a lot of expectations, I think, is good. I think that it keeps us in line and we always have that thought of knowing what and what not to do. My expectations for my parents are that they're always going to be there and provide me with my needs. I'm going to need them to say no to me sometimes so I don't become a spoiled brat, but I'm also going to need them to say yes to me even thought they don't think they should, just so I can learn not to do it next time. My expectations for my siblings are just to make sure they try their best at everything, they'll find out what their true talents are. My expectations for my friends are just to be there for me, even when I don't deserve it. My expectations for my coaches are to always push me, even when I don't think I can do it any more, I want them to be there telling me I can do it. I believe that all of those are reasonable. If one person can do it, everyone can.
ReplyDeleteMy parents expectations for me are to get my homework done and get good grades,also respect them. My siblings expect me to help with things and be there for them. The expectations I have for them are to be there for me when I need them. My teachers expectation are pretty much the same as my parents to get good grades and get my homework done on time. My expectation for teachers are to help me out when I have questions. My friends expectations are to have fun with them and be there when they need to talk about something. My expectations for my friends are to talk to me when i'm going through a hard time and to be there for me when i need them.I think that having expectation are a good thing because they keep me motivated to do my best. I think the expectations that my family,friends ,and teachers have are not hard thing to do.
ReplyDeleteSome of the expectations from my parents and teachers are about the same. Some of them may be a little different but very similar. At school my teachers always want me to try my best on assignments and test to keep my grades. My teachers expect me to come to them if i don't understand what is going on. My parents also want my to do the same thing like act mature and get to class on time. At home some of their expectations are that I am able to do chores or just in everything to do it my best ability. Another exception my parents thing is to make good decisions if I don't know what is the right choice they expect me to go to them and ask them what I should do. My friends expectations for me are always be there for them, push them to do things if you know that they can do better. Like examples when you are on a team like basketball for me, all of the upperclassmen were always trying to push us in the right direction making us better and not just that but also a lot better person not just on the court or in the locker room anywhere. My expectations for people in society are I want to be treated the same as I treat them. A lot of people look out for me and expect so much out of me but it makes goals for me and at the end of it all you will achieve far in life. I think that the expectations i give people and people give me are reasonable because they are the close to the same how everyone wants to be treated.
