I Believe

many reflections. I have realized that perhaps these questions and uncertainties were related to not having found my counsellor style. Or, perhaps they were due to my natural inclination to play the role of an expert or leader as I do in my personal life. Having a self-congruent style was one of my goal during these practice sessions as I tried to be true to my personal qualities within the counseling experience (Hackney & Cormier, 2013). Furthermore…

I found myself in an ironic position when I realized that I was self-deceiving myself when choosing which article, Real self-deception by Alfred R. Mele or Self-Deception as a Pretense by Tamar Szabo Gendler, I supported the most. The first article I read was Mele 's and his way of describing several points of his view confused me as well as some of them enlightened me. As I moved on to Gendler 's article, I found her way of explaining herself somehow more reader-friendly and hence more…

There can be many themes that go along with this book, but, the one theme that made most sense to me is to believe and be confident in yourself. Critics often argue, that the book Stolen Children is just a book about kids that get stolen and then returned back to their families. Admittedly, Stolen Children is about kids that get stolen and then returned back to…

will be. This is something people relate to daily and we need this to come to an end. Bravery that is portrayed in the book is relevant to many different aspects we use in our day to day lives. As we go through our days, we stand up for something we believe in. That is bravery. If there is one thing we can take away from Lucy’s memoir, it is that we should never keep things wrapped up inside and just open up to people we trust or people who can relate. Look back at the quote on page 150, she has…

What is a belief ? How do you know if you believe in something ? Is it a feeling, a thought, or is it relatable? What is happiness? How do you know that you are happy? What makes you happy, is it sports, food, or friends? Do you believe that people deserve at least a chance to be happy? I think everybody deserves a chance for happiness. No matter what other people think. Just one chance is all that a person needs, and that one chance can change a person’s life for the better. A chance to be…

Have you ever noticed when you went to church that the number of people are going down each and every year? To me it is kind of a weird thought. You and I might be thinking why is that. it is because every year the Christian percentage of people are getting lower and lower. Statistics show that the people who believe went from a 71% in 2007 to 63% in 2014. In seven years that’s a pretty drastic change in religion. The numbers prove it. A key term used from Pew Research was declining Religiosity…

just do not reach the “government’s standards.” Being a teen, I understand that we all make mistakes, we are not all perfect, but people are taking your…

In this essay I am going to be comparing and contrasting the original story version of “Soldier’s Home” by Ernest Hemingway and the short movie version made by Learning in Focus. The purpose of this essay is to compare and contrast the similarities and differences of all aspects of the story and movie. This will include changes to the story lines, similarities and differences of characters, changes to setting as well as the tone between each version of the story. In addition to this, I will be…

I feel the purpose of the Young Life ministry is to show students the power of God and teach them how to start or continue on in their faith journey all while having fun and being in a safe environment. Young Life shows that learning about God doesn’t only have to be a serious but can also be fun and with friends. Some fun ways include going to club and paying games then listening to a leader speak or going camp and listening to talks by the guest speaker. At both of these you are able to have…

First Job When I first began my job, I didn’t care for it at all, but now I can’t wait for my next work day. The day I came home with the news of my first job, my family could not believe it. They were aware that I wanted a job for the reason that all my friends held jobs, but they had no idea I would indeed pursue this idea. I was very proud of myself for achieving this all alone, and I was as surprised as they were that this happened. I remember getting ready for my first day, I was shaking…
