Recommended: Employing strategy

Reflecting on this semester, there were many challenges and obstacles I have had to face. At first, I felt inadequate, and I knew that I would not be able to succeed this semester. My first thought was to just drop the class altogether, but I knew I was in this ENC 1101 class for a reason. Scripture states that I can do all things through Christ that gives me strength. I am proud to say that I have succeeded this semester and overcame each obstacle and challenge that came my way. The three major causes of my academic success this semester consists of constant studying, accepting constructive criticism, and having faith. Primarily, studying was one major cause of my success this semester. Before entering my ENC 1101 class, I was behind on the curriculum, but I knew if I studied, I could catch up and even have an advantage over the other students. The first resource I took advantage of was the Bedford handbook and its workbook that coincides with it. The Bedford handbook allowed me to read up on topics that I found difficult such …show more content…

Faith means to believe in something without doubt or question. This semester, I have had to truly have faith in Jesus that he will see me through because I know that he gives me the ability to succeed. He also gives me wisdom and knowledge through prayer and supplication. Faith has allowed me to do the impossible; it allowed me to stay in a class that I was unqualified for and caused me to rely on Jesus. Scripture states that if I have faith as small as a mustard seed that I can speak to this mountain and say move from here to there and it will move. My mountain was my ENC 1101 class, but I spoke to it by faith and I overcame it. Without faith, we are nothing. I would not have survived this semester without faith in God. Jesus said that he will never leave me nor forsake me. My answer for succeeding this semester was Jesus the

  • Common Misunderstandings Of Faith By Terrence W. Tilley

    1077 Words  | 3 Pages

    If you were to take a survey on views of faith, you would come up with a million different definitions. To me, faith is taking risks in situations where there is no fear of the outcome. Faith is confidence, sureness, and bravery. If you have no faith, then you have no reason to go out in the world and survive. Faith is also a positive mindset and energy you embody. According to the book, “What is Faith?”, the author, Terrence W. Tilley feels that faith is a relationship between the one who has faith and the irreducible energizing source of meaning and center of value in one’s life. In the definition, “One” means the object of faith and the relationship between them. He takes the concept of faith from a late writer, David Foster Wallace, to key point his argument in the book. Wallace’s concept was that we don’t understand what faith is and how faith shapes the course of our lives. Tilley supports his claim by discussing the common misunderstandings of faith.

    In exploring what faith really is, we must remove the stigmatism of being purely religiously based. Faith, in its truest form, is the reliance and complete confidence in a set of principles, standards, person, thing, doctrine, theory—anything that cannot be fully proven. While most of faith appears in a religious context, faith can be used in many different ways and in different subjects. The classic example of a chair comes to mind when exploring the meaning of having faith: scientifically, the person must retain the faith that the chair will hold him up when he sits down. This lies in true in science in discussing the forces of the universe throughout the galaxy, scientists cannot yet understand all the knowledge concerning the forces of space, but scientists have faith in the continuation of the forces and account for what is assumed will happen with the forces.
