    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.

    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.

    The most energetic person that I have ever met is my best friend Tasneem. I met her in 6th grade in my elementary school and I vividly remember her smiling so bright and her energy just lighting up the entire classroom. We all had to introduce ourselves and when it was her turn, everyone's eyes were on her because she is just that captivating and her energy filled the room with joy. The reason why I think she is energetic is because it expresses how she truly feels the best. I do sometimes wonder, doesn't it feel exhausting to be always so energetic? But she explains that being energetic is what energizes her, contrary to which I am the opposite. Even a little bit of socializing gets me so tired. I feel very content when I'm with her because of her energy, her vibe. The thing that stands out about her the most is that she makes sure that the people around her are comfortable and whenever you're telling her something that might be very personal to you, she makes sure that she keeps it to herself and she just smiles through and through so that you don't have a moment of sadness.

    So although I am surrounded by lots of energetic people, I can mention specifically Chandan Kumar. My mentor is very energetic. Like he is the most energetic person I have ever seen. I feel he is energetic because I have seen he got up early in the morning, he follow a persistent schedule over a long time. So he got up in the morning, he come to the lab, he perform all the experiments, he guide us, he eats healthy, go to the gym to exercise. Over the time he never loses energy, never loses hope. He perform lot of experiments by his own being a professor. But if he failed, he did not lose his hope. He try it again and again. Due to his persistent and consistent nature, I feel he is very energetic. I have never seen him sitting around and doing the impossible. So I feel that if I can be like him, I can have that kind of enthusiasm. That would be great for me because I feel personally I am lazy person. I don't have that much energy to do anything.

    An energetic personality which I have ever seen is my dad, and I wish to learn many things from him. I've seen him since 24 years of my life. He never gets tired for anything. He's an inspiration for me, for a person like me who is lethargic. He never gets late to office. He always wakes up at that time and never ever feels like he won't skip a day of today. He always gets ready with his bright smile on his face. I think he's able to manage everything because he follows a proper routine and diet. He keeps himself very active by exercising daily, managing his sleep proteins. He never feels tired or sleepy or anything. He'll be at any time, even after he comes from office, he'll go and do other works at home. He'll help my mom in the kitchen works as well as sit and talk to me with all enthusiasm. As he went in the morning, he would be the same in the nights also. It is truly a thing which I should learn from my dad.
