Decent Essays
I believe in acceptance. When we were first given this assignment, my anxiety set in immediately, I was nauseous and dizzy just thinking about getting in front of a class and stating what I believe. And in those first moments of realizing how scared I am of getting in front of the class and talking, I realized I am afraid to proclaim my beliefs because I am only seventeen.

    In an outdoor amphitheater, somewhere in the mountains of California, I sat, in between hundreds of kids in staggered rows. I was looking at a man, strutting back and forth in front of a campfire, as if he were a general planning for a conquest.
