My Sacrifice

Yes, I have made sacrifices for someone I love. What I did was I broke up with my boyfriend for my mom because she didn’t like him so much. He was a pot head and he had very bad anger issues and my mom was afraid that if we got in a fight when I was around him that he would hurt me. When me and him were going out my mom was very upset with me and wouldn’t talk to me that much. He and I were in love with each other, but family comes before anyone else so that’s why I decided to break up with him. Me and him still talk all the time and were best friends. My mom still doesn’t like him so much till but he has controlled his anger a lot.

I think that you shouldn’t go so far with sacrifices but it a lot depends on who you are sacrificing too. If you are sacrificing to a boyfriend/girlfriend you can sacrifice a lot but you shouldn’t go too far with it because then your relationship could become bad. Also if you’re sacrificing to your family then you should sacrifice more to them because they will always be there for you no matter what especially your parents because they do a lot for us and sacrificed a lot for us too.
Everyday I do things to make other people happy even if it something i don't like. My boyfriend does not like the fact that i hand out with my ex with our other friends and all of us including friends go out to dinner once a week. He told me that he does not think it is right that i habd out with my ex. He told me that handing out with him upsets him, but is willing to let me go to dinner because he does not want to control me. He wants me to be happy even if he does not like it. All I want is for him and my self to be happy. I told him that I would no longer go to the dinners every week, but once in a while because I don't want to stop being his friend. He said that was fine but he was still not going to be happy about it.
I finally told him that i would no longer go to dinner. I was still going to talk to him and hang out with him in school. Only cause he is normally around when I am with him. He also likes that idea because there is more than 6 poeple around when we hang out and they are not just my friends they are his too. I still do not think that I should have to stop doing something if it makes ne happy, but i want him to be happy and if that is how i have to do then so be it. I just wont be happy about hearing about the dinners I miss and the fun that I missed out on. I love my boyfriend and I don't want to loose him and I don't want to hurt him. I just want him to be happy.

In the book, Of Mice and Men, George sacrifices a great deal in order to care for Lennie. I have not made any big sacrifices for a loved one, but my mom had too sacrifice her college career so that she could raise me cause my father didnt want too. It made life hard for us but I'm glad she did it, because if she hadn't, I might not be as happy as I am today. I appreciate it everyday; I owe her everything. She feels like she had to do it, but she could of just as easily said no like my dad did.

I would give up somethings for a loved one. It's a choice to make a sacrifice, you may not be happy, but you can really help someone. It depends who it was, I would give up alot for my child. But I can honestly say that I wouldn't give up my life for a lover. There are pleanty of things that can be done without sacrifice, such as improvising. But for a child, you need to raise them and give them the attention they need, so sacrifice is a definate.

Sacrifices

For a long time my parents were having a hard time getting my sister through college. Money was getting tight because my dad had been laid off at work because of corporate downsizing, and we were all giving things up to scavenge more money so my sister could stay in school. I had to give up my weekly allowance I got for doing my chores, and I was told to stop driving my car around so much so that we would spend less money on gas. This is actually pretty hard for me because a lot of my friends live really far away and it takes a lot of gas for me to get to their houses, and now I could pretty much only use my car to get to work and back.

I wouldn’t say that this is the biggest sacrifice I have ever had to make for someone I care for, but it is definitely the first one to come to mind because I was pretty pissed that I couldn’t see my friends for a good half a year. I think the farthest I would ever go would be to give mostly everything. If I truly care for that person I would have no problem sacrificing a lot for them, no matter to cost or repercussions. There is no length I wouldn’t go to for a real friend.

I remember back in freshman year when I sacrificed going to Six Flags with a friend of mine and instead I went to go spend the day with my lovely grandma in a nursing home. It was nice because I don't see her often, I wish I could see her more. As far as a limit on how far you should go with sacrificing for loved ones, there is none. For family and friends that you love, you could give them the world and then some. In Of Mice & Men I think George is doing what he can for Lennie, even though he's mentally challenged. George cares about Lennie a lot, but George gets aggrevated when he forgets everything. He cares about Lennie though and he knows it's not his fault. My grandma is handicapped but I still love her and would take care of her if I could. There's no limit to how far you can go with loving someone, it's not possible.

My cat.

I sacrificed for my cat. She needed food so I went out of my way to feed her. Because I love my cat. Thats why I did it.

A Sacrifice to make

The only sacrifice that witness that was in my life was when one of aunt was diagnose with breast cancer. The news that she had breast cancer was very devistating to the whole family. My father sacrifice alot of his own money and his own time from his own business to help her. He spent thousands and thousands of dollars to help her on her treatment. She had breast cancer for over a year. All of the family and myself sacrifice alot of stuff to help her. Alot of people sacrifice there love, time.

People shouldn't go far. To sacrifice anything, whether it be love or time, it's limitless. There is no limit that people can sacrifice. The only thing that is limited though is money. Money is limited. People can't spent millions and millions of dollars for sacrificing.

My Sacrifice

Yes, I have made sacrifices for someone I love. What I did was I broke up with my boyfriend for my mom because she didn’t like him so much. He was a pot head and he had very bad anger issues and my mom was afraid that if we got in a fight when I was around him that he would hurt me. When me and him were going out my mom was very upset with me and wouldn’t talk to me that much. He and I were in love with each other, but family comes before anyone else so that’s why I decided to break up with him. Me and him still talk all the time and were best friends. My mom still doesn’t like him so much till but he has controlled his anger a lot.

I think that you shouldn’t go so far with sacrifices but it a lot depends on who you are sacrificing too. If you are sacrificing to a boyfriend/girlfriend you can sacrifice a lot but you shouldn’t go too far with it because then your relationship could become bad. Also if you’re sacrificing to your family then you should sacrifice more to them because they will always be there for you no matter what especially your parents because they do a lot for us and sacrificed a lot for us too.

Pick Your Poison

I have never sacrificed much of anything for anyone, to be honest. As a general rule of thumb, I don't like most people, and the people I do like never really ask me for much of anything, if at all. The only times I have sacrificed were moments where I just wanted to rest and my friends wanted me to hang out with them. I'll likely be sacrificing next weekend too, as I was supposed to go to some classes so my dad can start teaching me to drive, but I'm probably going to put it off in favor of hanging out with my friends. Like I said, I rarely make sacrifices, and when I do, they're not terribly important.

My parents, on the other hand, make massive sacrifices each day for me. Most of the time, they are willing to give up on what they want to do so that I can do what I want to do. What's more, is that despite what they do for me, I still get into fights pretty much every other day with them; sometimes over very stupid things. I'm not saying I regret it, and that's just the thing: they know this. They acknowledge that I can often be a little [word omitted], and despite all that they go on treating me as best they can, at appropriate times. In that aspect, alone, they sacrifice so much for me.

So this just begs the question: "How much should you sacrifice?" I feel as though it's highly situational. For example, if I saw a child about to be hit by a car, I'd try and save them, even if it cost me my life. My reasoning is simple: the child is younger than I am. I would not be so willing to sacrifice so much if it was a man in his forties about to be hit by a car. So you see, it's also about how you feel about the sacrifices you're making. In Of Mice and Men George is willing to sacrifice his life (not phsyically) for Lennie. This is worth it, to him, just for the companionship, but I would never do it, because, to be completely honest, people like Lennie would never truly amount to anything substantial and, as the book proves, would get into ungodly amounts of trouble that would eventually lead to something being done about it.

they love me, they love me not?

I have made sacrafices for people in the past but nothing major Because nothing has come down to me making those big sacrafices, but all my friends know that I would try my best to help them out with anything. but if I needed money at any time they would give it to me even if they needed it for something else. And I think they know if they really needed something for me I would help them out the best way possible.

But with my mom I dont think she has really made true sacrafices for me. I mean she has given me things but she always yells at me for the things that she gives me. Whats up with that? But I am sure that in the future that something will come up where I am going to have to make a big sacrafice. And I am sure that I will make it for the better good.

sacrifice

My parents sacrifice lots of stuff for me. They do all kinds of things they don't have to do to make me happy. They willingly do many things for me that they don't need to do.


They bring me where I need to go. They buy me food. They buy me clothes. They provide me with a place to sleep. They let me shower. They let me watch television. They let me go on the computer. They pay for my cell phone bill. They help me with things. They let me hang out with friends. They let me go to the gym and workout. They let me play lacrossee in the spring. They let me play basketball at prince hill in Brooklyn.

Sacrifice

My mom makes sacrifices for me everyday. She strongly supports my passion for sports. She comes to all my games and meets. During track and cross country, there is never a meet she misses. She is almost like my coach. Before every meet she will talk to me before the meet and we will go over what times I need to hit and where I need to be at a certian time. During my race I can count on her to tell me if I should be going faster or slower. If I have a bad race she will always make sure to talk to me after the meet and tell me what went wrong.

My mom also supports my passion for sports so much she wouldn't let me get a job this spring. She wanted me to focus on track and school, and she didn't want me to have to worry about working. Since I didn't have a job I couldn't pay for gas for my car. So my mom paid for all my gas so I could drive to school and where ever else I needed to go. My mom has sacrificed all of this for me because she loves me. She strongly supports what I do and enjoys the sports I do. She is always there for me at every meet, even if she has work that day, she will take the day of only to watch me run 2 minutes and 30 seconds an hour away. I appreciate all she does for me. She helps keep my head high and helps me believe in myself.

Sacrifice

A few months ago I was riding home with my friend who was realy drunk. It was one in the morning and we got pulled over. I wasn't drunk at all so we quickly changed seats. When the cop came to the window he asked me why I was swerving and I just said I was tired. He let me go and my friend didn’t go to jail.
I think that was over the limit to sacrafice myself but it was good because my friend didn’t go to jail. The very limit would be if someone you loved killed somebody and you took the blame. It is better for others to face the consequences if they do something that bad. You need to be aware of how much trouble your sacrifice can get you in.

sacrifice

In Of Mice and Men George sacrifices a lot to help out Lennie. I have never had to sacrifice as much as George did. However, I have had to make sacrifices to help a loved one. A few years ago my mom had to have surgery. I had to do pretty much everything around the house. I had to clean, do all the laundry, make food, get my mom something whenever she needed it, and help her get around. I didn't mind so much but I really didn't want to do all that either. Luckily it was only for a few weeks, George had to make sacrifices ever since Lennie's aunt died.

Everybody makes sacrifices for their loved ones once in awhile. Some people would say that there is no limit for how far you should go when sacrificing. I'd have to disagree with this. I believe that there is a certain point where you are sacrificing too much. If your entire life revolves around helping this one person then it might be too much. Like if you are sacrificing the chance to have a spouse and kids, or have friends, or keep a job then you may be sacrificing too much. George sacrifices a lot for Lennie. He plans pretty much plans on taking care of him for the rest of his life. He planned to buy a house just for him and Lennie. He was always losing jobs because of Lennie and couldn't go to the whore house because he was saving for the house and he couldn't meet a girl to marry because he always had to watch Lennie and make sure he wasn't getting in any trouble.

Sacrifice SWAG

Have I ever had to make sacrifices for the ones that I love? That is a good question. To my knowledge, I have not made any big, substanial sacrifices. But I can remember this one time I did make a small sacrifice that ended up benefiting my mother in a way and I would like to tell you about this. It was not a big sacrifice but It did not go unnoticed in my mothers eyes.
It all started with me making plans to hang out with some friends. And, you see, I have a very busy schedule of school, work and leisure time. So when I had a day off that I hadn't had in a while, I decided I would go spend it with my friends. My parents are extremely busy, more so my mother. They work in Groton and I do not see them alot. She happened to have the same day off as me and she said that she missed me. So what I did was tell my friends I couldn't hang out and instead I went to hang with my mom. And this action made my mom very happy and benefitted her. So sometimes you don't have to make big sacrifices to make someone happy.

Sacrifice in my Life

In my life I have had to make a couple of sacrifices either to make someone feel better or to help them. My biggest one was for my best friend at the time was at a unhappy point in her life. She had a lot of depression problems but was not telling her parents or anyone but close friends like me. She called me to say goodbye one night and I was confused at first but when she told me she had overdosed on pills and felt the end coming I knew I had to make a sacrifice. I called the poison hotline at first to check and they said to contact help right now. I later called 911 and she had to have her stomach pumped but ended up living. She did not talk to me for a month untill she forgave me and was glad I was there to help her. I sacrificed our friendship to try to save her life.

I believe that if you believe something is worth sacrificing for the good of someone else you should go for it. I think this because like in my case you can end up saving a life or truley helping someone through a hard time. I think that there is a point where you can sacrifice to much for someone if your spending all of your time helping them because although I believe you should always put someones well being before your own there comes a time where you just need to be happy yourself too and not just live for making others happy.
When I think of sacrifices that I made for a loved one, not many come to mind. I dont necessarily call them sacrifices, I do the things I do because I want to. I do a lot for my mother. She is a diabetic and one year she was really sick. I had to skip school a few times throughout the school year to take care of her and make sure she was ok. I wouldn't say that I sacrificed my education for her, I did it because I wanted to.

In my opinion, there is'nt much of a limit of how far someone should go for those they love. If the sacrifice you chose to do puts you in danger, then it's not worth it. You should also consider what the outcome of the sacrifice. When someone sacrifices something for those they love, they should feel great because they're helping the one they love.

There are Limits!

I cannot say I’ve really ever sacrificed something big. The most that I’ve ever done that could be somewhat considered “sacrificing” is agreeing to participate in foster care. Although it’s not much, I have had to become more tolerant and acceptable to people. I’ve given up my own living space to complete strangers that need someone to care and watch over them. Although I am not making a sacrifice to someone I can say I “love” I am still doing something for someone who really needs it. I currently have to young foster children of the ages of 3 and 5, so there is a lot of attention required for these kids. We have to give them a lot of time due to how they were raised, which was neglectfully. It has been about a year now since my family and I have started caring for them, and without a second parent around to care for them, I am left to fill that void.
Sacrificing for others can have its limits. Dedicating everything can be ridiculous to me. Giving your whole life for someone else or a group of people can be very caring, but may not be the right choice. You are given one life to live; spending it all for someone else can defeat most of the point of even having one. Everyone wants to leave a mark I the world, but we also have to make marks for ourselves. Dedicating some things to other people is the nature of us humans and is very important to the meaning of our lives, but it does not mean that it is the absolute only reason. If you sacrifice all to one person, and then that person gave all they had to another, the chain would just continue. We need to make time and space for ourselves.

#Sacrifice

In the world famous novel, Of Mice and Men, George sacrifices a great deal in order to care for Lennie. In my life I have made many sacrifices to help a loved one out. Whether it was telling the person's parents that he wasn't there, when he was really sneaking off to a party down the road or covering for a family member when he lied. I have sacrificed hanging out with my parents rather than going to a friends house for the night; that is a big sacrifice in the teenage world.
Is there a limit for when it comes to sacrificing for those you love? Each person should have their own limit when it comes to how far you should sacrifice for the people you love. You should do whatever it takes to make a loved one happy. You should sacrifice until you don't want to anymore, or until you have to much and you realized that you can't do it anymore. George will sacrifice his whole life for the one he cares about and then will realize it is to much for him, and then decided to kill the one he has been traveling with basically his whole life, Lennie.

Sacrifices

My parents have made many sacrifices in my life for me. One of them is they had to miss their best friend’s wedding. I was four years old and I was sick and I had to go to the hospital. In the wedding my dad was the best man and he missed it because he wanted to stay with me when I was sick. My mom was also with me and one of them could have gone to the wedding and the other one could have stayed but they both sacrificed the wedding to stay with me.


I think if you love something than you could sacrifice anything for them. For example if my girlfriend moved to California I would move there with her even if I had a very important job around here. I would sacrifice anything for my girlfriend and I don’t think that there is a limit when it comes to love.

BAMF

A person of which I can not say his name has gone to great lengths to help me. Everyday in class he would punch me in the arm and encourage me to get buff. Which has made me decide to work out this summer. He risked his life during school. If he was caught hitting me he would have been written up. And for that Ithank him.
I think there is no limit to sacrificing for someone that you love. It all depends on how much you love for them and how much you are willing to risk for them.
I haven't really sacrificed anything to help a loved one except my time. My parents have made many sacrifices for me. Mostly they sacrifice time, but they also give me money. In middle school I had gotten very sick and went to the hospital for three days and I got surgery. My mom stayed with me at the hospital both nights and was still with me when I got discharged at 11 on the third night. My parents also go out together so they don't always do what I want, they do their own thing too. Most of the sacrifices I make for my family, well I wouldn't really call them sacrifices, is to go pick my sister or dad up from work and to mow the lawn for my grandma when she asks, which is also a good deed.

Well I already written a paper on how far someone should go for those they love, so I have a good idea. I don't believe there is a limit. I think if you love them you should want to do whatever to make them happy. As long as whatever you are going to sacrifice is in reason, and you are willing to accept the consiquences, it should be fine. So no, I don't think there is a limit to sacrifice for those you love as long as you are okay with the sacrifice.
