Being alive to me mean a lot now because I have now realized that life is short but long. Time is by our side and it's just keeps getting closer to death. We are not getting younger that something everyone should have in there head 24/7.life is challenging since I was a kid I would always think that life was always the going to be the same me a kid and my mother taking care of me. I would never have thought I would be here in high school almost graduating.there are many obstacles in life I personally have gone threw them with my family. So I know life is hard but to be honest all you have to do is move on if something doesn't work out look for another way. There is usually always a way out. When we were having a hard time with my family I thought to self why is this happening to us why did we get stuck in the situation we were in but my mom she's my mom and dad and she got threw it having 4 kids and raising them alone. Life is tuff everyone in this world anyone living is going to have there ups and down. But always stay positive that the key to success . They don't want you happy.

Being alive, to me, means to live in the moment and in the future at the same time.Theres not many words to explain how it feels to be alive. Being satisfied and at peace with yourself.

Being alive means to live life to its fullest. One should live in the moment. Meaning one should not worry about the past nor future, just the present. Life is too short to be feeling depressed or unhappy. The value I put on life is how you spend it. Yeah you can live for 100 years, but if you did nothing memorable did you really live? Life is the value you put into it and how happy you are. The most challenging things about life is choosing to be happy. You have to have the mindset of someone who is genuinely happy and can't let things bring you down. The moments where you spend time with loved ones and those who are positive around you makes life worth living.

Life has no value. There is no amount of money that can buy a life. Life is precious and should be valued. The purpose of life is to live it to the fullest. Everyone is going to die someday so why not live every day like it’s your last. Anything can kill you so why are you afraid? Take risks and do something stupid once in a while. Living your life with caution all the time is boring and you’re gonna die wishing you did more.

Being alive right now means alot to me right now actually. If I wasn’t alive i would know what i would be actually. Being alive means that you can do anything you want to that you desire to do with your life. I mean you cant really put a value on life for me it is just to precious. With all of my friends and family i have its amazing to me that so many people can love me or think of me as their friend. What makes life challenging for me is school because i have a hard time sometimes because i get my work done but i get it done slow. I try to get it done as fast as possible for me and my family. Also if i dont have my school grades up i am not able to race or play sports and sports is my life right now at the moment. Love them so much i play football, basketball, baseball, and run track . And finally what makes life worth able to live for is family. The other is sports and friends i do t know what i would be without these things i feel like i would not be whole.

What does being alive mean to me? To be honest I’m not sure but what I can say is that everyone has a purpose to be alive. As how you can assign value to life could be anything. It could either be a sentimental value or it could be the actual cost of life. Life itself is very challenging. We go through challenges everyday, life is a never ending obstacle. Now life is very beautiful but there’s moments and times where we all had bad days. What makes it worth it is being able to move forward and seeing the brighter side. We have so much to live up for we just have to get through the bumps. As well as achieving something you would be proud to say.

Life can be very difficult, all these different challenges and adventures to take you where you need to go. For every person being alive I feel we all have our own purpose in life, and whether you are able to complete it or not. Giving value to life isn't very difficult at all it could be something simple like taking out the trash or something major like saving a life. Everyone does daily tasks that make them feel important in the world no matter how big or small. There will always be challenges in life it just depends on if its your day to day challenges or long term ones. A challenge can be anything like having to get up at five am to make it to work on time or trying to get everything stocked and ready before the store opens. Everyone has their own challenges just at different levels, soma could be saving as much money as possible to pay certain bills or get a report in for work before the deadline. There are many things in life worth living for, like ones family or friends or what they love. Some people love their jobs and dedicate their lives to them, others feel they couldn't go through everything they do without their family and friends by their sides.

Being alive means to me that you are given a oppurity to even be alive so take every chance you can get in life. You will always wonder what if, if you don’t try. I assign value to life by living my life to the fullest everyday. To be honest everything makes life difficult it’s a big game and you play to win. Everything makes a life worth living. People should always value life and cherish it. You never no when you could be gone. People need to cherish life because a lot of people lose there life for dumb stuff. Never take anything for granted. Always live in the moment

Being alive to me means that you are just there and are not doing what you want to do. It means someone that does not put themselves out there and do what they want to. Doing what you want is living your life. We can let someone tell us what to do for the rest of our lives or take control and do what we want. I think that many people want to make their lives have "purpose" by helping people or the environment. This, to them, will give their life value.

To me, being alive means to have emotion, to have purpose. To feel is to be alive. To be able to go about your day and enjoy the little things in life. We don't need to be grand to have a good life. To be alive to to walk the world with emotion and meaning, not to be numb and insensitive to the world around you. To have something to live for. Some people are dead long before their body is, and that is a dreadful reality to live in. Value is assigned to life through, humanity. At least, that is how we do it. Depend on how human an animal or living thing is, do we decide how much value that being has. Through the amount of intelligence, through how much pain they can suffer, and how much emotion they can feel, do we judge the value of another living creature. When i think that instead , we should assign life value, not through how humane something is, but rather by the simple fact that another thing is alive. We are all of value, some we consider more valuable than others, but we mustn't think that we have the right to simply decide how much value another creature has, at least, let us not take this as a light meaningless decision. What makes life challenging are the many obstacles that we face. Nothing will ever go our way on it's own. If you want something, you must make it happen or obtain it with your own power. Prove that you deserve that which you desire. No one will feel your pains, your sufferings. They won't completely understand your struggles. And that's okay, all we can do is keep pushing to better ourselves. What makes life worth living is tomorrow. What tomorrow may bring. The surprise of the unexpected. There is no point to live in an endless boring cycle of sameness. Yeah, sometimes we'll get stuck in a routine in which we live everyday, but it wont be forever. We must live in the present, but hope for tomorrow.

Being alive means so much to me. For me to be alive is just a blessing because, many people have it taken away from them. Life is very valuable because your are given the opportunity to do something in life, make a change. Life is worth so much that it underratted. Life can become challenging because things can come in your way like someone passes away or your having a difficult time in a certain class etc. Just because like can become challenging that doesn't mean to give up. Its life a video game keep going, and things will get easier. What makes life worth living is everything. Each one of us was born for a reason. We all don't know what reason but, there is one. There is also, younger ones who look up to us. Not only them there is family, and friends who love us, and wish us the best.

My thoughts on the meaning of life is a haze. Like a fog I can't see through. Telling me that my future isn't promised. I have always been stuck to my past, to weak to move forward, and too blind to see my own potential future and yet I'm still here and I plan to keep it that way. Before, I was weak and too depressed to even give a thought on my life but over time i changed those feelings for anger like a fire that sparked and has been burning since the event. The event was when I lost my brother in my arms, when reality hit me and told me you can be gone too at any moment and instead of taking its advice I went against it with anger and rage getting in situations that could've ripped me of my life and end up 6ft deep in the ground. But soon I found reasons and meaning. I formed a sense a pride telling myself its weak to fall down by my own hand and all the pain I would bring my parents if I fell. I realized I need to be grateful for what I have since I've been exposed to so many others who have it worse than me. I then tried to put myself in other peoples lives and try to find meaning and become a supportive character in that persons life. For every challenge I may face in my future, I want to be alive and be able to say how I over came that obstacle. I found myself in situations that could've killed me and noticed how unfazed I was and knew I didn't care for my own life. But taking time to sit back and give an outlook on your life and your past decisions can help form the next stepping stone to your future and how you want your life to end because death is inevitable and will take your right to life away, its all about how you leave it. Can you die tomorrow and say you were satisfied with your life? If no? then change it and if yes? then keep moving to make it even better, there is no limit to your life. No second chance is certain after death so make sure that you wont need one.

What being alive means to me is to be positive and also be happy about what I do in my life. How I assign the value of life is to be happy and always be positive no matter what. What makes life challenging is the fact that how other people try to bring you down. another challenge in life is how to make yourself be happy and also the others around you. What make life worth living is my family and also the people who care about. Another reason to live is dragon ball saga. I really like the dragon ball saga. Another thing is The people that are sad. The people that are sad is worth living because I can try to cheer them up. I have many reasons why I should live and also why people should live. Their is no reason to not live.

There have been times where I thought life was not worth living but I met the right people and they made realize the value of life. Being alive means to just enjoy life and live in the moment. I realize that there is more to life that I meed to discover. There are many more things I need to experience and that keeps my adventurous side wanting to explore it. Life is not challenging the person you try to make yourself is the challenging part. It depends on your determination and will to focus on a task. If are unable to do that then life can be challenging. The many things lige has to offer which makes it worth living and experiencing. I want to discover new foods and explore new terrain.

Being alive to me means being able to experience what life has to offer. Now even though there are its ups and down that what makes you feel alive. It could be the rush of Love, happiness, or excitement. I think you can assign value to life when you see what you did with your life, maybe you spent it making others happy, or made a legacy of it, who knows all have they’re own. Personally I think of what you were able to do with your limited time alive. Life gets challenging when it throws a curve ball at you and leaves you feeling lost. These are the low points in life maybe loved one passed or maybe your significant other just decided it wasn’t working. Either way it makes you feel empty, lost, depressed even. But it’s these moment that help us grow, it’s these moment that life tests us to see if we can still keep going, and even if you feel like you can’t call out for help, many others are in the same posturing and are willing to help. What makes life worth living is when you get out of those low points and life rewards you, who knows what it could be, but it’s those moments after the storm of sadness that makes it worth going through a bad time, it’s why you shouldn’t give up when it all seems downhill.
