Fully half of the teenagers by the age of sixteen have had some strong beliefs that they believe in. The things I have believed in since I was sixteen have really made a huge impact on my life. My beliefs have really made me look on life at a different approach. Also the beliefs I have had since I was sixteen help me to become an outstanding individual. Some of the main things I believe in are God; nothing is giving to you, and memories. I believe in God with all my heart. I believe he created all us the same. I often believe that his love is unconditional. Even through sometimes in life we drift away from him, but he is always there for us when we come back. I also believe that he died for us so that we can have everlasting life. Personally I believe we should put God first in everything that we do because he cannot get far without him. For example; I remember when everything was going good I wasn’t not giving God the praise I should for all the things he have done for me. God drop me very low, so I could understand that he is God and he deserves all the praises. I do believe we …show more content…
have to acknowledge him as we go through this tedious journey. I strongly believe in nothing is given to you. You must work for everything that you want. I had always thought that you could get something by knowing someone, but I was wrong. It is a must that you work for everything you want because if you don’t you will never get it. For example; I was in the fifth grade I had fail my math CRCT test with a seven hundred ninety seven and you needed an eight hundred to go on the sixth grade. I thought my teacher would have given me the couple of points so I would not have to go to summer school. I had to go to summer school and work myself to death and when I retook the CRCT test over I was well prepared so I could make an exceeding score. When I got my test scores I had passed. I really had to work hard to get above an eight hundred because the teacher had already showed me that she was just not going to give me anything. To be perfectly honest, I believe in memories.
I believe memories are some of the most valuable things you can ever have. Memories are what president Obama calls “teachable moments”. When you have memories they remind me on how things were at a specific time in my life. I know memories inspire me to reach for greater. I never thought it was important to have memories until my grandpa gave me a picture of him when he was a little boy and told me and story that went along with it. Now when I look at my grandpa picture it means more than a picture. Also I recognize that everyone will not look at a memory the same way. Not always taking pictures for something whole a memory. When people send me cards they mean the world to me because they are bringing up a memory that they had or creating an memory. When you go back to look at the card you have the best memory on what was going on at the
time. In the end however, I have believe you have some strong beliefs in a lot. With believing in these different beliefs since I was sixteen has really made me believe in them deeper. I believe that Christ will come again to reestablish his kingdom on earth and heaven one day. We should be ready when he comes. On the other hand I believe memories provided us with an outlook an life. I also believe my memories inspire me to change myself and take a look out on what life has brought me. Last but not least I do believe you have to work for everything you want in life. If you don’t I do know you will not have it.
“Holding onto past memories helps humans avoid pain in the future. These experiences also help them make better decisions in the future.” (Kenny) Many people advise others to learn from the past and apply those memories so that you can effectively succeed by avoiding repeating past mistakes. On the contrary, people who get too caught up with the past are unable to move on to the future. Memories are the foundation of a person's mindset because what you make of them is entirely up to you.
My beliefs are important to me. I wake up every morning with a cup of coffee in my hand and turn on the daily news. I see many problems occurring around the world, but most of us are too blind to actually do something to help. We are too blinded by our society's cultural that we can’t separate ourselves from the good and bad.
Memory is one of the greatest gifts a person can have, even though they can cause people pain and bad memories occasionally. People will always have their good memories to look back on.
The soul of the world to me is my Religion, it has had an influence on my life for as long as I can remember. I was just a little preschooler when I was introduced to my faith, my parents sent me to a church camp after school for an hour or so every day. I had never had any real connections like many of the pastors claimed but I knew as long as I believed that good would come. For many years it didn't, yet I remained faithful. I always believed that if I remained faithful that nothing could ever hurt me, still with all my faith there were days where I questioned my belief. I wondered how any of this could actually be possible, if there was really a big man up in the sky watching me then why don't I ever see him. But as I grew older I learned
Without memories, people would be nothing, memories that stick with everyone from the time it happened to the day they die, would never exist in people 's memories. Riding a bicycle for example, a memory that no one forgets, the first time we learn to do it with parents to when their kids are all grown up teaching their children how to ride bikes. Memories define each person, if someone’s childhood may have been
I will be introducing my personal worldview and what I believe. I will then, review and discuss most of the questions I conducted in my interview. I used some of my own questions formulate my interview, but then related them to the Sire textbook questions. My interview questions and answers are relevant and most intriguing to the reader. I discovered complexities, consistencies and inconsistencies within my interview. I will then, compare and contrast my personal worldview with my interviewee. My conclusion will restate and overall recap of my worldview and my interviewee’s worldview.
The second position I volunteered as is a caretaker. I would come into VIP to take care bunch of toddler or very young kids ranging from ages 3 months to 6 years of age. My duty considered of me watching the youngsters, like making sure they get along, changing diapers, and making sure they are safe. It wasn’t a hard job to do, because I have experiences with kids. I raised my sister when she was an infant. I learned to change diapers, and feed her, as well as bathe her. I am grateful for obtaining these skills, because I was able to utilize them on the real world. For example, kids, I need to be patience with them. Some children were insecure and didn’t want to leave their mother, so I would let the children cry until they feel better. I
My personal ideology as reported from my Political Compass results is left Libertarian. Of course in the beginning I didn’t really understand what that meant because my parents never brought up politics in our home I myself had to do dig in deeper and find out what it meant. From the chart I could tell that by just a little more I would’ve been in the middle, which is understandable for a person like me. I am the type of person that believes that everyone should be treated equally and do as they please as long as they obey the law. If everyone thought in that way things in the states wouldn’t be so out of control but then again who am to say how people should live their lives? I came to have this ideology because I see how people are turning against each other and envying each other’s political beliefs just because the government listens to what they have to say about laws that are bothering them.
"KATHLEEN!! I NEED YOU TO GET MY BALLOON OFF THE CEILING!" That may sound a little odd, but trust me there is a good reason for my cousins and my sister Clare are shouting at me to get the balloons down. Today is Saturday January 21. My dad and my aunt are having their birthdays at my house today. Aunts, uncles, cousins, parents, a sister and one lonely cat roam the house enjoying the party and having a great time. Previously in the morning I had softball practice from 9-11 AM and then I went bowling with my dad and sister. I had already had a lot of fun that morning, but I was about to have a WHOLE lot more!
We only know what is real by what our senses tell us is real. But how our senses tell us what is real is through our brain’s interpretation, so really our brain tells us what is real. Our brain defines what is real to us, however determining what is not real is not so simple. I am struggling to define what is not real. Your question is too broad for me to determine what is not real, if something does not have physical shape, color or size it cannot be real in a materialist world. I believe anything and everything you can think of is real to some degree. A character you read in a book is real, even if it only existed in our minds. A fragrance is also real, even though it does not have a size or shape that can be definable by touch, or sight.
In my search for meaning and purpose, I stumbled upon a truth – the search is more about the journey than the destination. A knowing began to simmer …we don’t choose our wounds of the flesh; rather freedom comes in knowing that we have a choice in how we respond to that suffering. What I believe today is my suffering is no less, or no more than another’s, it is just a matter of perspective. In the throes of the pain of living life on life’s terms, it often seems that I am alone, but my heart informs me otherwise. In the darkness, after wallowing around angrily licking my wounded pride, I begin to cry out to God in desperation. After a period of darkness, the degree of yearning resonates gently like the ripples on a pond, beckoning my heart
I am fortunate to have realized my faith in god in early years of my life and experiences in life have only strengthened my faith; I was born and raised in a small town in India and my elementary to undergraduate education has been from a Christian, catholic school, Convent of Jesus & Mary, a congregation established by Mother Claudine Thevnet who wanted to undertake the education of girls in India. It was in school, I first experienced the introduction to Christianity and my family being Hindu resonated a lot of common values being taught at school. Since there was no conflict in my values learnt at school and those at home, these were only deepened and have become an important part of my personality. As a result of my upbringing and my education, memories of my faith are amongst my earliest. I believe in the presence of god and I believe that god has bigger plans for me. My education and my family has integrated values in me for respecting, accepting, understanding other members of the society. Hinduism taught me how to be respectful and tolerant to others, it taught me that I need to understand that I am a human and I am here to serve and help others in need. There have been times when faced with difficult challenges in life and I have followed the path laid by god, ignorance went away and I found solutions and answers to the problems and challenges that I faced.
There have been tons of things that I have learned and been taught in my life, by a number of people such as family, teachers, or even friends on occasion. The things they taught me vary from math and other related subjects to just some truly simple yet meaningful life lessons. However, there is nothing quite as unique, quite as special as a person teaching themselves a life lesson. It really is an amazing accomplishment for a person to teach themselves something. It is not quite as simple as another person teaching them something because it is not just the transferring of information from one person to another. The person instead has to start from scratch and process the information they have in their mind in order to come up with a new thought
"Who Is God To Me" God means many different things to many different people. There are a lot of people who believe that there is no such thing as a God. There are people who believe that there is no God because no one has ever seen him. I personally believe that there is a God because of my faith. I have faith in God and I feel that God is real. I have many reasons why I believe in God and who God is to me. But I have three reasons that stand out for me about who God is to me. They are the following: God is always there for me, God is my friend, and God is my creator. These are my three most important reasons of who God is and what God means to me. God has never let me down in my life. Sometimes I feel that God has let me down or that He did not answer my prayers in times that I most needed Him. But I have to realize that everything that God does is for a reason. God has taken a few friends of mine from this Earth at a very young age. I have prayed to God and asked Him why? But I have never seemed to fully understand why. I have come to the conclusion that God works in mysterious ways. I do not think that anyone can fully understand why God does what He does. So for this, I do not feel that God has ever let me down. He just does these things for a reason and if you believe in Him, He will never let you down either. God is the longest lasting friend I have ever had in my life. He was there for me before I was born and He will be there for me after I leave this Earth. God is the best listener also. I can talk to God anywhere at anytime. Every time I want to talk to Him or ask Him a question, He is there for me. Most of my other friends are at least a phone call away, but not God. He has always been there in time of need, even though sometimes I feel like He is not. Even when I do something wrong, He is there to forgive me and set me straight.
I never really thought about where my life was going. I always believed life took me where I wanted to go, I never thought that I was the one who took myself were I wanted to go. Once I entered high school I changed the way I thought. This is why I chose to go to college. I believe that college will give me the keys to unlock the doors of life. This way I can choose for myself where I go instead of someone choosing for me.
