I only need four paragraphs
the Ego Booster and Ego Buster exercise. Please go into this discussion board and write a paragraph for each of the four sections found on the page. 1) someone who was an ego booster and how 2) someone who was an ego buster and how 3) when you were an ego booster and how 4) when you were an ego buster and how.
ALL discussion board assignments are to be typed right into the discussion board. This is done so everyone can see it easily comment when asked to! A reminder that I am looking for in-depth writing. Simple one sentence responses are not advisable!
Below I am graciously providing an example of what I am looking for that was done over the summertime. I hope this helps

An “ego booster” is someone who praises you and makes you feel good about yourself and your accomplishments. An ego booster for me was my Nana( my grandma). When I was younger I was always the odd one out. I was too rough for the girls and boys and I was always the biggest out of all of my peers. My Nana never let me feel down for long though, she helped me to see my good qualities and how to learn to love myself. I am the middle child on both sides and especially since my brother is disabled the attention never fell on me and I was mostly left with little dregs of affection after everyone had their fills. I did not want to be a burden to my parents so I kept quiet but my Nana knew and saw how I felt and always invited me over to hang out with her and eventually stay with her while I went to school. Up until she passed away she was my biggest supporter and taught me that even if others are not appreciating you the way that you deserve as long as you appreciate yourself you can continue on. No one can love you and appreciate you more than yourself. My Nana was my ego booster by making sure to be present at all of the events that I had when I was younger even after getting surgery and having to amputate her leg. The minute she heard of a school event that my parents could not go to she would find someone away to wheel herself there. She would also show it with praise and love. She would tell me when I was doing well and how to do better when I do not do well. She did not expect me to be perfect nor did she put too much pressure on me she knew when to intervene if someone was being too hard on me and when to let someone reprimand me, as long as they did not overdo it. If it was not for my Nana the level of self-esteem that I have today would not be possible.
An ego-buster is someone who wants nothing more than to see you fail they put you down rather than lift you up like an ego booster. An ego-buster for me, if I had to choose, was my entire 5th-grade class minus two people but if I had to choose specifically it was a girl named, Monet. I went to an all girls-school from 4th-8th grade and a majority of the girls stayed with me until 8th grade with me. Out of all of my years there, I was not well-liked but it became tolerable after 6th grade when I finally stood up for myself. In 4th grade, my ego booster passed away and I felt alone in the world. The only people that I had to talk to were my teachers who had known me since I was around five years old( my older sister attended and graduated from there before I attended). In 4th grade, I was able to make two friends who I met at the school’s summer camp. we were friends until 5th grade when one of the two left and the other started to hang out with someone else. Fifth grade is when I first met Monet she was a person who what to say to make you feel good about yourself and who made you hate yourself in the next second. I was what one could call a teacher’s pet since a majority of the senior teachers knew me and would make sure that I was taken care of, my class hated that. So I was ostracised much like the isolation game I was the odd one out. People only talked to me when they can get something be it test answers, money, or snacks. Monet was different though she would only talk to me when her group would kick her out. That is when she would try to be my friend and talk to me and things like that but on the flip side she would also tell me things like I should be grateful to be her friend since no one likes me and everyone hates me. I was a foolish child and told her some of my personal business which she spread around and teased me for. Things that should never have even been brought up. After being called things like fat, a reject, etc. I started to feel like those things and started to doubt myself. She had me doubting if I should even be alive. I started to hate myself.
