    Answer

    It Ends With Us is a book I read recently. It's by the author Colleen Hoare. It's mainly a story about two teenagers, Atlas and Lily, and how they just handle their life going through high school, adolescence, and just domestic violence at home. Both of them come from very, very different families. However, they have one common determining factor between them, which is domestic violence. The abuse that they've seen their moms go through is just insane, and they connect through that on a different level. They're actually in the same high school, but they never speak to each other until Atlas actually crashes into an empty house next to Lily's villa. When Atlas is homeless and he doesn't have anywhere to go, he just comes and breaks into the house next to Lily's, and Lily helps him with all the daily necessities like clothes and food, medicines and stuff. Furthermore, their friendship blossoms into love, but it doesn't really fructify as Atlas has to leave. This book really gave me a lot of knowledge about domestic abuse and how to deal with it.

    When I think about a person with whom I got energy, that person is a famous YouTuber as well as a businessman named Elon Musk. I'm a big fan of his. He is a big businessman and entrepreneur as well. He has his own different kinds of companies in different kinds of sectors such as vehicle sector, mechanical sector and also in entrepreneur sector. I knew him when I just entered in an entrepreneurship session. My teacher used to teach about Elon Musk, how he did his journey, how he became famous and how he does all kinds of business and how he gets success. He is like a role model for me. He has all these techniques which are very famous. Most probably, I can say, we tend to follow his business techniques to get success in our business. I admire him because he is the one who does his work in a rapid manner and gives the result within a few days after taking the task. I remember, within a few years, he made his company like Chrome.

    An energetic person I know is my best friend Vaishnavi. She has been friends with me since class 6 and we became best friends in 8th. So earlier we used to not like each other, but then our vibes matched. So I got to know about her and then we became friends. So the best thing I feel about her energy is her optimism. I feel that she is so energetic because she is optimistic the whole time. I am someone who takes stress on small things, but she is someone who stresses me down, who calms me down with her talk and with her actions so that I laugh and I don't stress about small things such as exams or anything else like a small competition or something. She is someone who truly has a lot of confidence and belief in me and in herself. That's why I feel she is so so energetic and I feel very good about her and I am grateful that she is there with me and God has given me a great gift by giving a friend like her to me because she is my Paul. She is my best friend. She is my companion. She is the best company I could have ever gotten. That's why I like her and I am truly grateful again and I will always be grateful and happy to have her and I feel blessed that she has me and I have her and I always have her whenever I feel low, she is there with me. Whenever I feel good, she is there with me. When I am normal, she is there with me. She is always there with me and she never leaves my side. She never leaves me alone, especially when I am sad or I am disheartened or I am disappointed. That's the best thing about her. Thank you.

    The energetic person I knew is my fitness trainer. He is very energetic and also very enthusiastic in everyday life. I got to know him while working out in the gym. I was doing exercises and workouts on my own. One day I came to know that a new trainer has been hired by the gym for the training of the joinees. I think the fitness he has is the reason of his being so active. I think that involves various types of rigorous exercises that he gets through. There are many other reasons also like waking up early also makes you energetic. Almost all gym fitness trainers follow a better routine like sleeping on time and getting up early and doing their morning workouts. They don't miss even a single day like common people do. Maybe that's the reason behind their fitness and energy levels. I feel so good about it and I also want to follow a routine which involves so much discipline. Discipline makes a person a better person. We should follow a routine which will make us more active in the long term.

    Let me talk about an energetic person that I know. This person is not a real world character. He is a fictional character from the series named The Office which came in the year 2005. So this is basically a sitcom series and the genre of this is something more pleasant and a wholesome vibe. The character that I find personally energetic in the series is a character named Michael. He is one of the main characters in the series. As the name suggests, this is an office based show and it obviously happens in a workspace with him. So Michael is the manager of that office and others don't seem to like him or they don't put well with him. But he is someone who is always goofy. He does so many pranks with the office maids. He is so outgoing and also he does a lot of practically funny things. One thing that interests me is that he is so energetic and also others in the office doesn't seem to like him much or doesn't include him much. But one thing that just amuses me is that no matter what, the character always puts himself out in the workspace. He doesn't care about what others might perceive him as but he is so outgoing and energetic and he doesn't care much about other people. That's some factor that just astonished me and I find himself an amazing, energetic and sweet person.

    The energetic person I saw in my life is my father. He is like the ones in a blue moon. Moreover, he is my energetic handsome man and he can do anything for me with more confidence, determination and he is the most powerful person I have ever seen. The reason for that I am saying he is the most powerful person or energetic person is because he can do anything for me or my wish and he is the most important person. If I say any wish, he will do it for me without any hesitation or with so much pleasure. I know that it is not a piece of cake but he will do it for me in any way. However, he is a good daddy for me but even though he is so much funny and really I love him and I am very comfortable with him. I can share anything with him and he is such a good person in my life I have ever seen. He can do anything for my family.
