I Believe

The topic that I have chosen to explore is the controversy over paying college athletes. Personally, it was an idea that had not crossed my mind often, but after giving it more thought, there is some sense to the proposition. It’s an issue that has been debated for years, and as times change and the world progresses, more opportunities are presenting themselves to help back up each side of the controversy. I’m interested in exploring this controversy, because it is not a topic that I’m exactly…

different times. I, on the other hand, bounced around between many different occupations. When I began my freshman year of highschool, I started my involvement with many activities. All of the activities I pursued made me realize which ones I enjoyed, and which ones I thought I would like, but ended up not. My involvement and efforts in a diverse range of activities makes the road of success easier. My involvement with softball affects many parts of my life. Playing since I was in tee-ball, I…

can be a small push when we are having rough time (Veronica par.1). Fight Song gave inspiration to many people. In our society people have problems that they believe they cannot take anymore and give up on it and being depressed, this song tells you it is not true. Fight Song was an explosion for Rachel. “I might only have one match / But I can make an explosion” (line 7-8). This song was her match in her music career until today. The song portrayed her different emotions such as “anger, loss…

Spiritual disciplines are something that take a lot of work, they are things that don’t always come easy, and they often require practice to develop. As a believer, it is easy to just assume the role of a mediocre Christian who often overlooks spiritual growth, thinking that going to church every Sunday is enough to effectively grow in ones walk with Christ. Through study, it becomes obvious that Sunday Christianity is not enough, it takes work as a Christian to truly change and grow, and to…

as well. In the article, " The Earth is Cruel", by Leonard Pitts, he goes on to discuss all of the horrible things that occur in Haiti, and how they are still able to stand back up on their feet and move forward with their lives. In this article, I believe that there is one central theme that sticks out to me. The theme in this article "Sometimes the Earth is Cruel", happens to be faith. He explains how basically faith is what helps them stand back up on their feet, without having to say that…

to believe in themselves. I found two songs that I use to help encourage, inspire, motivate, and build self - esteem. Peer-pressure can be devastating to most people. Juveniles, adolescent, teen years, and some people perhaps in their adulthood face peer-pressure. The Greatest Love recorded by the late Whitney Houston is telling us no matter what others think of you, you must believe in yourself. Children are our future, we must allow them to explore and spread their wing. R Kelly’s song, “I…

The difference between the True Believer and the Counterfeit Believer When you believe in something or someone, you put your trust in them and you are willing to put your heart and soul in anything related to it. We have two kinds of believer, the true believer and the counterfeit believer or the hypocrite. It is very difficult to differentiate the true believer from the counterfeit believer, because they both appear to be a very faithful person until you get to know each other well. The true…

another fictional character that we are instilled to believe in like Santa Claus, the Tooth Fairy, or the Easter Bunny. Why is it that we are told there is only one god but other countries can believe in more then one? I can say that, I am not a true believer of god but I do believe that there is a higher being. Over the past twenty-seven years, I was never brought up as a spiritual child. My parents would never bring me to church on Sundays, nor did I have to read scriptures about the lord.…

stated in the movie, “I would rather stand with God and be judged by the world than stand with the world and be judged by God” (“God’s Not Dead”). If you have faith in something, even if it cannot be see, you will never be alone. Religions and higher beings of all kinds can help almost anyone have courage and reliance again. Because of personal experience, I believe in the untouchable. Whenever I hear, someone say, “If you cannot see it, hear it, feel it, it is not real.” All I can do is…

of: consistency, harmony, restorative, responsibility, and input. My basic knowledge for each of these traits turned out to be much more limited than I had initially thought because reading about each trait revealed a much more in depth perception on the kind of person these assets describe. First, consistency defines a person who essentially believes in the equal treatment of all people no matter their station in life, praising those who deserve to be recognized. This relates to the quality…
