The balloon rocketed into the sky.   Though we were frightened, everything ended up being fine.

  • The word "quickly" can be removed because speed is implied with the word "rocketed"
  • The phrase "into the really cold air" can be removed because it is irrelevant to what's happening.  It can be replaced by "into the sky"
  • Now "up" can be removed because "into the sky" implies that the balloon went upwards.
  • Either the word "scared" or "frightened" can be removed because they're synonyms (I chose to remove "scared")
  • "Because it was moving really fast" can be removed because the use of the word "rocketed" beforehand already implies that the balloon was moving fast.
  • Lastly , I just reworded and conjoined some of the sentences to make them read more clearly though this isn't necessary. (I changed the third sentence from "However, it was all good in the end," to "everything ended up being fine." I also combined the second and third sentences, adding "though" in front of the second sentence to make it a dependent clause)

Do you always do what is expected of you even when it conflicts with your personal beliefs? Give examples.
Kaylis [27]

I am expected to do what is right and be responsible of my decisions.  

Sometimes, in making a decision that conflicts with my beliefs, I have to think first about the situation. I ask myself, “why is this in conflict with my beliefs?” I need to act in a mature way and understand that every decision I make create consequences.

So, the best way for me to make decisions in these situations is this. Before making a decision I have to consider what the consequences are going to be. If my decision implies lying to mom and dad, I won’t make it. If it means that I need to hide in order to not to be revealed, I won’t make it.

That is th best way to do what is expected even if ir conflicts with my personal beliefs.
