Freedom, and rights for that matter, is a giant teeter-totter. You never have quite the right balance to keep it even and up in the air without your feet touching the ground. I think that I’ve had times where I’ve had my rights infringed on,that my rights and my freedom had brought up debate, but I think at some point we all do. I guess a time where I saw that freedom is more defined by the person is when I chose not to stand for the pledge of allegiance last year. It was a personal choice,…
During the first few weeks of class I was unsure of what to do for my behavior change, there are so many things in my life that I could do without and that would help me live a happier healthier life such as eating fast food, drinking soda, Facebook and social media usage, as well as the habit of judgment. At first I thought the easiest thing that I could change would be to stop eating fast food. While fast food is a horrible habit that I have enquired due to my busy schedule, after the first…
The piercing fear in her eyes struck me hard. She was in a complete and utter state of panic, trembling uncontrollably and gasping for air. A tear fell softly from her eye and onto her hand which was throbbing and purple from the tight grip on her wheelchair. I knew I had an obligation to help her as a volunteer in the nursing home, but I wasn’t sure how I could connect to her or understand the cause of her distress -- she didn’t speak any English. Almost instinctively, I grabbed Bergita's…
My eighth characteristic is another one I’m not proud of. The eighth one is that I’m very temperamental. It does not take much to make me upset. If someone says something or does something I don’t like, I immediately get an attitude or become very upset. I remember one day my mother tried to make me wear an outfit I did not like and I immediately got upset. I remember yelling at my mother and getting really angry. Little things can upset me just like big things. I’m not sure what caused this to…
romantic and feel for it all. Since the start of it all, there was many mistakes. That’s what made everything not come together like it did in fairy tales. Yeah, there’s setbacks in the stories, but it wasn’t like what this young couple went through. The one thing that did set this aside from everyone else was that they would always come back together. It turns out to be a great…
My hypocrisy is saying one thing and then doing another thing. Know I try and not going as much as I probably unknowingly sis it when I was younger. Some of the reason that this may be is because I did not grow up in a Christian home, but my parents did go to church and my sister and I went to Sunday school. We also did go to a catholic school. There are going to be times when this is going to still happen because we are not perfect people. So why should it matter what we say and do? Yes, this…
This is a big problem for me because I love to talk. I talk all the time and when I think of something funny or I have something to say to one of my friends I usually say it. I think that I should defiantly cut down on the amount of talking that I do in class. One it sets a bad example for the younger kids like when I’m in bible class we have the 9th graders so they really look up to us so if I’m in class making jokes and getting in trouble then they…
My mom once said “You can do anything if you have the right mind set.” Her inspirational words encourage me to further my career pathways and education. She also helped with my confidence and told me that I need to believe in myself that I can do it. My mom has been the biggest influence in my life. She has been with me through tough and good times. I always come to her about anything going on in my life. She encourages me to overcome my fears and obstacles. She has influenced me to be the…
