My Love Of Life

Improved Essays
One habit I have made is getting up early. Since I have a class that begins at eight o’clock in the morning, I am used to waking up early enough to make it on time. On the days I do not have that class, however, I simply get up anyway and work on homework. This definitely helps me accomplish many tasks without getting swamped with work. Another habit I have picked up is simply praying in the morning and before I go to bed. I know that this is something I should have been doing long before I arrived at Grace, but, unfortunately, I was not taking it as seriously as I should have. Even though I just began this, I feel myself becoming closer and more dependent on Christ, which makes life so much greater. Grace has been the best choice I have made …show more content…
I do not believe I had actually spent the time to reflect on everyone who has helped mold me into the individual I am today. It amazed me just how many people were involved as well. No one ever thinks about the occurrences that take place that end up being a major impact on life until they take the time to sit back and just think. The same happened with me. Even with events that may have seemed not that important, discovering my love of reading, turned out to lead me in the direction God had always intended for my future. I never would have guessed at the age of ten that I would eventually decide on majoring in Education, but somewhere along the way I made decision that led me to pursuing that career. All these individuals helped me along the way, and I will never be able to express my eternal gratitude to them, but I do hope they realize how much of an influence they have on the lives of those around them. I certainly will be contacting each one with my thankfulness. Another aspect of my growth as an individual is my personal strengths. It is amazing how, when I pause and think, how correct they were in describing my personality. It may have taken some time, but know that I understand where they are prevalent in my life, I can begin to improve, or at least enhance, each one. I do not believe I have ever spent so much time deciphering the type of person I am, but I am so grateful

    There Once Was a Time There once was a time in my life in which everything was put into perspective. My mother had been taken to the hospital multiple times whether it’d be for cramps or for stomach sicknesses. She is the most hardworking person I know in my life. She grew up without anything. Her dad had left the family for another when she just turned thirteen, she already had a job at age twelve, and she took two buses to get to school every day.…

    Moving to the U.S was one of the many life changing experiences I have ever encountered. Some say that learning a completely different culture especially the language may be difficult, well, they were right! Coming to America did not only come with struggles, changes, and lessons, but it also brought blessings. I think that if you turn a situation around, for the better, you somehow become more optimistic about the situation itself. Talking about these attributes that came into my life will not only explain entirely where I come from, but really how each helped me become the person that I’m today.…

    As the years pass, people become older, new ones are born, people change, and life goes on. A huge stumble for me in the pathway of life was my dad passing away a few years ago. Since this has impacted my life forever, I have changed the way I look at life. We take many things for granted such as being able to wake up breathing, being able to walk and function properly, and being in good health. While you sit here not thinking about these things, others are struggling and trying their best to live through each day.…

    Choosing a mate is life’s single most important challenge, says Dr. Neil Warren on page two of his book, “Finding The Love of Your Life.” In the 161 following pages, Dr. Warren explains through ten principles why the selection of a spouse is of utmost important. These critical principles were formulated based upon his experiences as a psychologist. He found that the search for a future spouse is often thought of lightly, but this pursuit is not a matter of luck, nor should it be done in jest. Dr. Warren believes that there are skills involved in selecting a spouse and that once these skills are developed by the application of his ten principles, the divorce rate can decrease.…

    This first semester of college has been the fastest three and a half months of my life and sitting here writing this paper I find a reflection is more than called for. The ‘My Story’ project was a scary project coming into, because there was a lot of room to do what we wanted. At first glance the ‘My Story’ assignment was intended to point out what made us individuals, but in the end it showed us all what make us one. The largest aspect seen in every story was the portion of ourselves that we believe is made up of our family.…

    Growing Up in a Broken Home and What it Has Taught Me Growing up I had typical childhood experiences, but unlike some of you I grew up in a broken home. Many people would say I got the short end of the stick; however, I believe it has in some ways made me a better person. It was not because of the broken home, tons of other people grew up that way, it was the completely opposite lifestyles I observed in both homes that changed me. It has taught me many life lessons, including the fact that a man does not have to be your father to be a dad.…
