Free Pass Research Paper

Improved Essays
I said to someone once, "if I could have a free pass I think I would go back and change a few things". They looked at me and said "Like what?" And ever since then it's been going through my mind all the things I "thought" I would do different. For starters, I would change all the immature/irresponsible things I may have done in my adolescence. I would take back all the things I should've not said, or say the things I needed to say. I would have been on the first vehicle that could have got me to Nashville the fastest for hair school the day after I graduated high school, and I would have skipped all the broken stages the last 5ish years in college "so I said".... And then I started thinking but if I could have a free pass backwards then I'd wish for one free pass forwards as well.. just to go ahead and have my online boutique up and running, and to finally be THROUGH WITH COLLEGE, and to just take a sneak peak at my future family.

I struggle with waiting on the Lord sometimes. But I was reminded recently in a moment of worry over my future dreams and plans, that WHO CARES if other people have the same one is me... there's plenty for everyone. Who cares if my online boutique didn't launch four months ago when I wanted it to... it's going to happen when it's the right time for it to. Who cares if I didn't go to hair school right out of college... instead I went on a 4 year journey of ups and downs trying to find who I am and who I'm meant to be. If I would have taken a different path I wouldn't have friends all over the country, I wouldn't be the national watermelon queen, and I would never be as strong as I am today. We can make plans for ourselves all we want to, but I am so thankful the Lord wrecked mine, so he could put me in my place. I've learned more about myself the past couple of years than ever imaginable because of the path I thought I would change if I could. That's what you call sovereignty. That's what you call

    This is a humorous example of my impatient tendencies, but I will be honest, I really do struggle to be patient, especially when I am waiting on God’s timing. Often, it seems that God’s timing is slower than what I would want, yet I have also learned that His timing is always better than my own. Whether it was waiting to hear back on a job offer, figuring out my college roommate or waiting for a bag of…

    As the bird in William Cullen Bryant’s “To a Waterfowl” flew across an endless sky to reach its destination, we, as humans, live our complicated lives with innumerable “paths” to take. These “paths” can represent choices such as where to go to college, what career field to enter into, whether or not to marry, and so forth. While some people choose their paths of life impulsively and without thinking over their choice, others leave the choice up to chance. However, a select few choose to allow God to guide their way through life and to trust in Him to help them make the right decisions, as the Bible teaches us to do.…

    In my life at this moment there are a lot of things that I need to have faith with such as to who I should date and marry, what major I should have and whether or not I should continue to go to school here at BYU-Idaho. I feel like that I should make a plan and stick to it because if it is a bad plan then the Lord will let me know if it will hurt me. Sometimes we need to be doing or going towards a goal before the Lord will let us know if we are on the right path. The main change that I thought of is to stick to a plan and unless acted upon to keep to that plan and have faith that everything will work out.…

    If I could get one “do-over” in life, it would probably be my sophomore and junior years of high school. I made plenty of mistakes during these years, but I would most likely redo them for the chance to improve my grades and tell myself to stop slacking when it came to school work. I wasn’t highly motivated to do anything with myself or my life during these two years, and I now regret that deeply. If I had focused more on my school work, it’s likely that I wouldn’t be nearly so stressed about scholarships and getting into the colleges and universities that would help greatly to improve my chances at life. A do-over would allow me to show my true potential through my grades, and not just the minimum of what I made myself do.…

    Man is a social animal and most people like to have some type of community involvement. It could be in the form of community service or being part of a club or group that share similar interests. Having community involvement is a vital characteristic for someone applying to the honors program. I believe the honors program wants students to go out into the real world and learn about different cultures, which is why it has a mandatory study abroad program. The objective of these trips is to provide students with an array of experiences, so when students start working on their research paper they have had enough experiences to know their interests.…
