Patience is a Virture, and those who have it can say it's a gift and a curse. All my life I felt that my patience has been tested and is still is Today. Its like I am in an endless season of a T.v. show or Game show were your pain our peoples pleasure For example Boiling Points and Punk'd. But someone never comes out and tell me that I was in boiling Point and I just won one hundred dollars or Ashton Kutcher doesn't pop out and say " Hey Stacy you just been Punk'd!". Those two shows all at once, that pretty crazy.
I didn't really know what that saying mean't , but people always said that to me , Like the lovely costumers that I have at the shoe store that always make me run back and forth to get shows and the either take one thing out of 50 shoes or nothing at all but leave a big nice mess for me to clean up. But everytime the are leaving the always said " Thank you for being so Patience with me and I wish I had your patience!", I thought the were just being nice but know I realized if I wasn't patient working there I would have lost my mind. Its hard sometimes to keep your patience esspecially if you just want to take all those feelings you have bottled up and just let them out. I honestly don't know how it work. I have been tested in so many diffrent situations in my life physically and mentally , big and small. For example when some one took my art work cause the thought is was theirs and ruining by painting it over with diffrent colors, My ride forgetting about me , my little brother breaking my laptop, even these small things tested my patience.
Life maybe is a rollercoaster and even though you can't get off until the ride is over. Make the best of it that is what I am trying to do and I understand why people in a way envy patience because paitence is protecting from most of life cruel ways and disease.Too many americans are being Diangnosed with High blood pressure and my mother told me with my patience I will be able to be healthy and enjoy life. Sometimes I do feel like why do I have to always receive the bad news or why do I have to be tested. But I feel that if I keep my patience the good news will just being popping out of nowhere just like Ashton Kutcher.

I WISH I HAD YOUR PATIENTS!and i think you're right! patient is a virtude and keep it though because that's something that not all people have.
And you know what'd funny, patients it's not only something that you got because you did. it's a gift!
well done. i really like your essay.
A belief in patience (not "patients") is an interesting belief to use for this essay. The fact that it is a bit unconventional will make it interesting to readers. What I think you will want to avoid, however, is making the essay about your ability to be patient. Readers will likely get turned off if the essay seems to be more about how virtuous a person you are for being patient rather than an exploration of why you believe in being patient. Sentences like "I honestly don't know how I do it," "Trust me its harder than it looks," and "people in a way envy my patience" seem a bit pretentious and self-congratulatory.
Your experience in the shoe store, for instance, can be used to show how patience is useful in helping one serve customers. Rather than have customers complimenting you, tell us something about how customers act that shows why being patient is so important to that job.
The references to Punk'd and Boiling Point are good attempts at finding interesting ways to describe your experience, but you may want to describe the type of shows rather than name specific ones. This will allow people who are unfamiliar with these specific shows to still get what you're talking about.
