I Believe

In the popular film “The Godfather,” from 1942, there is a mortician in the opening scene. He states, “I believe in America.” People have come to have different opinions in regards to this statement. For example, Booker T. Washington, Langston Hughes, and Francis Ford Coppola, would all have different viewpoints in regard to this quote. Overall, through understanding the comment, there becomes an understanding of these men’s beliefs and what obstacles have to be overcome. Booker T.…

everyone has the right to choose what religion to believe in. I am a Muslim and Islam is my religion. I am a person with a strong spiritual foundation. I do not consider myself as a religious person, however I do believe in God. I may not have a specific evidence of God existing, but I encountered his presence in my life numerous times. I feel his spirit and touch on my daily life. Everyone has a different understanding of religion. Some of us do believe in religion, however there are people who…

people who believe in a deity or deities, but are not religious; people who think that it is not possible to know which deity or deities are true and are therefore not religious (these people are often called agnostics); and even people who outright reject the existence of deities (these people are often called atheists). I am one who believes that there could be a deity, but is just not completely sure. I have no issue with any of these religions existing; it is their choice to believe in their…

This I Believe Paper I believe in happiness. I believe no matter what everyone can be happy. Happiness is a choice that everyone has the ability to make. It's an extraordinary choice everyone should invest in. I believe most in the kind of happiness that makes you smile from ear to ear. The kind that makes you smile for so long and laugh so hard that your face hurts. Happiness so powerful, you laugh until you cry. Everyone deserves to feel this way every single moment of everyday. A few years…

pursue our own agenda that we achieve immortality and supersede death. This supports the idea that God is a façade for us to not acknowledge that we are all suffering and shall die. If you do believe in the higher being of an all-powerful God, why must he be so human? Miguel: I am catholic and I do believe in God. My stance is simply that as Christians we accept God into our hearts and possess Him. In a sense by doing this and believing in God, God himself lives through us. He is “human” because…

Believe “ Ta-he….NO, no, no..t, ha, eh. Lilly I can’t do it.” I looked at her with a big smile, knowing she's starting to understand, and replied “but you ARE doing it! There is no such thing as can't. You are sounding it out and you are doing a marvelous job!” She looked at me like i was crazy and didn't know what i was talking about. I could feel that she was starting to comprehend what she was seeing. When you think about everything you have to do to learn to read you may even think it's…

This is I believe By:Hammudy It was a Friday evening, we had just finished soccer practice. It was nice, cool, and breezy out. The sun was soon setting and I was getting ready to leave. I ran over to my best friend, Zade, and told him how good he had done at practice. I went to my bag and started to take off my cleats and shin guards, when Zade’s dad, Amu Bassam, approached me and asked, who was taking me to New York tomorrow? I told him that my dad was taking me. He nodded, and told me that…

I believe the dream of the rood is a poem because of how eloquently it illustrates and describes the culture clash between the Pagan and Christian culture. The rood is actually a cross, the cross on which Jesus was crucified. The author recalls a vision that he had during a dream in the middle of the night where he saw a tree surrounded by a halo of light. The tree he speaks of in the poem is actually the cross. This refers to the Pagan culture in a way because the Pagan culture is a nature…

the word talent evokes many responses from different people. to some it means exceptional an ability to perform well in music, entertainment or sports. to some others it is a word they cannot identify with simply because they feel they do not possess these ' special ' talents. a talent refers to an innate mental or artistic aptitude as opposed to acquired ability. this definition makes a few things clear. first, anything that is learnt is not talent and second, talent could be either mental or…

standards for music have changed as well, especially with the onset of technology like auto-tune. Each of the 5 songs appealed to me in one way or another. I’ll admit, I am a bit arrogant sometimes, and simply annoying other times. At home, I’ll learn extra if I’m interested in a topic, but otherwise I slack off. Following my personality, I chose “Bad to the Bone” by George Thorogood, “Don’t Stop Believing” by Journey, and “Livin’ on a Prayer” by Bon Jovi. The lyrics of “Don’t Stop Believing”…
