I Believe

I believe in change. As defined by the webster dictionary change is to become different. And although simple and not very original I really love this definition because as you change you’re becoming different and you're becoming unique you’re becoming who you are. Change is what kicks us in the ass and makes us try something new. The four defining changes in my life were moving to New York, traveling to costa rica, switching high schools and now coming to SMU. So moving wasn't my decision as I…

The emotions surrounding that day are insurmountable. In I want to Believe, artist Cai Guo-Qiang used various disciplines to explore and react to the events and emotions he felt on that day: “Art is not about what you say, it’s about these other things that you don’t say” (Guo-Qiang). In his installations, Guo-Qiang chose subject matter that would express his feelings of pain and suffering from September 11. From I Want to Believe, the work titled Inopportune: Stage one, is an example of how…

I believe in pain. When I was growing up I was afraid to be myself, I was afraid of the monsters under my bed, I was afraid of my reflections, I was afraid of my own shadow, and I was even afraid of pain from others. I started off being afraid of pain back in elementary, where my friends started to bully me. I know what you're thinking, “why are did your friends bully you?” My answer I wasn’t really for sure until my life went to hell. First, I found out that my “friends” were just fakes because…

“The America I Believe In” “I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America.” We say these words every morning that us, as American patriots, believe in. To believe is to have trust or to deem something to be real. I believe in an America that upholds the rights and freedoms of every gender and race, a nation that grows on success, and a country that never stands down even when we look at fear face to face. I believe our America allows the freedoms of speech, religion, and…

Everyone has to believe in something. Even if you say I don’t believe in anything that is a belief. I believe in something that is widely accepted and unacceptable internationally. A topic that is debated around the world is the topic of a higher being of the spiritual world. Each superior being has different names for each culture. For my culture he is known as god. In this narrative I will explain that I believe in god and why. Some people don’t believe in god because they can’t see him.…

America I Believe In Do you believe in America? Well I do, because I am an American citizen. I am an American citizen and I am glad to be one, because I feel safe inside our country. Also, because of all the people who serve in our country’s army, and who protect America. People should recognize the young and old ones that are serving in Iraq. Also, we should remember those veterans dead or alive, young or old, who have served in any war whether it is world war two or in vietnam.…

I always regretted not asking more questions. It is normal to have doubt and questions, despite what some people may say, and I always wish I had expressed that more. Although, who knows where I would be if I had. Would I have found the right answers, rooted my faith in God, and not even be in this class because I chose to take Campus Ministry? Would I have gotten in trouble for “being disruptive” by asking the questions that do not really have answers? My favorite of those is “if God is great,…

I think the two essays that are most critical for students to read is “This I Believe” by Jennifer in New York and “This I Believe” by Elizabeth in California. They both have the same title and are similar at the same time. “This I Believe” by Jennifer talks about how people should treat others the way they would want to be treated. This is very important in life. You should never treat someone worse than you would expect them to treat you. Jennifer talks about how a smile, or courteous gesture…
