What it means to be present is to be living in the now. To be present you are not thinking about the past or the future. For an example I see someone reading. If you are thinking about what your mom made last night that is not being present. Also if your thinking about going to the topsfield fair thats not being present because your thinking about something you ar going to be doing in the future. That's what I think  about being present.

In "What Does it Mean to be Present" being present means looking at who is talking in class. It means having gratitude. It means paying attention to things around you. A quote I love about that book is "Yesterday is history, tommorrow is a mystery, today is a gift, and that's why it's called the present." Being in the present really means appreciating what is in front of you.

What does it mean to be present. Well first of all it doesn't mean to be a present like a gift! So like here's one thing so when the teacher or anyone is reading you are focused on them. Or like worrying about now. Say if your doing math and after everyone is done you ask after this are we having snack. Well that's not worrying about now like what is happening your just more focused on snack.So, yeah that's what it means to me! (:
