Compare and Contrast

Many people make up different excuses and different reasons why they choose to or not to have kids. They often debt on rather or not having a child will neglect or benefit their life. I comparing and contrasting life with to life with out kids, I know that one takes more responsibility and the other gives me more opportunity, but they both make me a hero.

            Of course, life with kids is the one that takes more responsibility. And that is because when becoming a parent there is more to think about; it is not just I anymore. Part of being a parent requires that the child is wearing clothing and appears to be well taken care of. Then, there is feeding them and making sure they eat every meal, everyday. And those two alone takes just about all of the expense in the household. But of course children love to go and do activities that they probably only get to do once a year because the level of responsibility will not allow it. Being a parent also lowers the opportunity rate. Say for instead, I am a full-time student, a full-time employee, and I have two kids. I have to give up on one of those opportunities, because there just is not enough me to go around. So, life with kids gives me more responsibility which allows me to contrast me opportunity of life without kids.

Life without kids offers less responsibility and more opportunity than life with kids. I will be able to get the proper amount of education and down the line be offered great beneficial careers. There is an opportunity to make a believer out of myself by showing my mom and my peers how high my goals in life were really set. Without kids I would not have to worry about buying things I do not find necessary to live; such as theme park tickets and video games. I would not be responsible for a child missing a meal because my income is too low. And I would not have to buy clothing that my child would have grown out of a week after it is bought. Without kids of my own I would be able to reach out and help other people’s children; like mentoring them. So I would still have the whole idea of wanting to be a hero role going on.

            In either of the lifestyles of being a parent or not being a parent I could still be someone’s hero. That would be the comparing part of the two roles. Because either way I would have someone watching and someone wanting be just like me. Just knowing that I had the opportunity to make a child smile would be a great pleasure to me. So in conclusion, I make this statement to say that the only compare and contrast of life with kids and life without kids is life knowing you helped a kid.

  1. I think the paper is very relatable to all people, we either have children or don't. Your purpose is very clear. The only problem I see is that we are supposed to being writing our papers in the point by point form instead of the block form. For example, If I were writing a paper about mountains vs beaches I would have a Introduction and conclusion paragraph but I would arrange the other paragraphs something like this !
    First difference between mountains and beaches is climate
    A. Mountains
    B. Beach
    III. Second difference between mountains and beaches are types of activities
    A. Mountains
    B. Beach

    I hope this Helped!! :):)
