Reliance

***Yo Ms. Falkner! Grade this please!!***


In the end, the only person you can truly rely on is yourself.

At first glance, this statement proves to be plausible. We've all heard the saying "If you want the job done right, you've got to do it yourself." But if you stop to think about it, we all rely on people, every day. We rely on the bus driver to pull up to the stop on time. We rely on our teachers to...teach....us, and we rely on our friends to be there for us. We all need to rely on somebody else at some point in our life; I can't teach myself the FANBOYS comma rule, and I sure can't teach myself geometry. Reliance starts with yourself. You have to be reliable to other people in order for you to be able to rely on them. It may be hard for some, but it is necessary to first become reliable. There are times, yes, when the only person we can rely on is ourself- doing our homework, for example- but let's face it; we would all love for somebody else to do Aldworth's history outlines for us.
