A time where I first waited someone was the time where my friend was really tired about school and she wanted to drop out of school. She thought that it was for the best and it’s better for her to stop learning, stop getting education rather than just going to school without learning anything. So I felt like that’s a really bad decision to take and to make. So I was talking to her, I gave her, I shared my thoughts. I told her that there is a lot of benefits of studying. I think nowadays in our culture or environment, I don’t think people could gain money, gain income without the ability of education. I think every person should have education in order to gain knowledge, in order to work in their jobs that is required in our country. There’s a lot of benefits of learning and I think that’s like one of the things that she should consider before dropping out. She finally agreed and she figured it out and she thought that it’s for the best for her to continue sweating because at the end of the day dropping out is only going to make it worse. So I was really happy with that decision because I knew it was better for her to continue sweating rather than just dropping out and never knowing what to do in your future life.

A time when I successfully persuaded someone was when my friend was really tired of school and wanted to drop out. She thought that it was for the best and that it was better for her to stop learning and stop getting an education rather than just going to school without learning anything. I felt that this was a really bad decision to make. So I talked to her and shared my thoughts. I told her that there are a lot of benefits to studying. I think nowadays in our culture or environment, people cannot gain money or income without the benefit of education. I believe every person should have an education in order to gain knowledge and to work in jobs that are required in our country. There are many benefits to learning, and I think that is one of the things she should consider before dropping out. She finally agreed and realized that it was best for her to continue studying because, at the end of the day, dropping out would only make things worse. I was really happy with that decision because I knew it was better for her to continue studying rather than just dropping out and never knowing what to do in her future life.
