...“Before I formed you in the womb, I knew you.” This quote is written by Jeremiah, chapter one, verse five. This quote teaches people all around the world to respect each other. This quote can also help us understand God’s plan for us. Some examples of destroying God’s plan for us are by taking drugs, and having abortions. By taking drugs, you are ruining God’s plan for yourself. God has a perfect life plan for us, but He also gave us free will. While God knows how our lives are going to happen, His plans might be interrupted by our free will. We are not respecting life because we are destroying our health and our bodies and our lives by taking drugs. This quote can remind us that we should not ruin God’s plans for us by not respecting life....

...School I would considered myself as an outsider or a trouble maker. I was always getting into trouble every time I look up. The teachers at school couldn’t understand why I caused so much trouble. It wasn’t like I use to associate with a lot of people, so they knew it wasn’t just to impress friends or be a class clown. I made the honor roll every six weeks, so they knew I was an intelligent young man, but for some strange reason I was always getting into trouble. The last incident that I got into was a fight in the bathroom. The principal’s secretary didn’t know what else to do with me so they wanted to kick me out of school. When they walked back into the office they told me that a woman name Mrs. Stewart vouched for me and insisted that we keep you in school as long as you remain out of trouble and maintained a 2.0 G.P.A. My first thought was why would my English teacher Mrs. Stewart vouch for me if all I did was cause trouble in her class? When I went to her class the next day I asked her, “Why did you vouch for me?” Her response was, “I know you’re an intelligent young man, but you are headed down the wrong path. What I want you to do for me is find something positive you like and be a part of it.” I was always a sports fan, so I pursued my goal and that was to be a great football player. On January 12, 2007 I tried out for the Independence High School...

I was spiritually tired. For weeks my family had been in turmoil well to be exactly correct, it was years. Between the kids my father had outside of his marriage and the drama that came with being a sibling to Drew. It was finally taken a bad toil on me. Maybe because for the first time, someone I was courting, had actual seen it with their own eyes. As I drove RJ and I home, all I could think about was what had to be going through her head...

...gotten older, I realized that a job does not define who I am, but instead the work and time I share with others does. During my time traveling, I knew there was a God on high that watches over me. There have been times when I knew in my heart that I was experiencing things in life like whale watching, being in the middle of the ocean-watching whales when I knew I could not swim. In addition, another time riding a ski tram to the top of a mountain to eat dinner. With this said, I knew I was being watched over because there was no way I could have done those things alone. I also know that I am unable to fix anything happening in my life, so I just step back and let Him lead the way while I follow. The main reason for returning to college is to complete and receive my degree in Psychology. I feel that I have the patience to help others when they are in need without feeling judged. My grandmother’s friends use to tell me that I had the patience of Job. I never knew much about Job until I got older, what a compliment. For a long time I worked at a job where I knew I was helping people. At one time, I started college, but was so young and did not know which direction life was leading me. Matthew 7:1-2 reads, “Judge not, that you be not judged. For with the judgment you pronounce you will be judged, and with the measure you use it will be...

...myself and gaining some independence. I had to make sure that this was what I wanted for my future. After long nights of decision making and contemplating, I finally found peace with my choice. I knew going back to Florida would make me happy, even if the first steps to getting there would mean going through pain and heartache. Saying bye to someone that has been with you, your whole life is heartbreaking. For the past eighteen years I have always lived with my mother, since my father was in the army and was always gone. My mother was, and still is, my best friend. We never agreed on everything or saw eye to eye, but I knew that whenever I needed her, she would be there. I also knew that telling her I wanted...

...was the first day of me being in high school and of course I was lost and alone and that’s when I was hit with a cupid arrow when I seen Edward Jakens the most popular boy in high school. Then I see him coming over to where I was, so I started acting cool like I knew what I was doing but lord knows I did not! That’s when I hear are you lost and I turn around and he was standing right beside me, I say yes and then he asks my name is Twilight and I say yes. He asks me where my schedule is and I say it’s at my house. He takes me to the office to get my class schedule and he takes me to my class, right then and there we both knew that this is was going to turn into a good friendship. He starts taking me to my classes and to find that we had a lot of things in common we were both popular, athletic, weird, funny, and we definitely hated when people abused animals. That’s when I started to see him as more than a friend and for some reason a new girl came but I could tell she was trouble because no one liked her except Edward I tried to warn him about her but he wouldn’t listen it was like he was under her spell! He ended up going out with her. And some how she found out I like him so when I was getting a drink of water she walks up to me and say “I know you like Edward so back of loser” I was like back of what and she said you heard me I said loser I made sure everyone seen this that was around us and I said I don't know who you think you are and I really don’t...

...myself. But deep down, I knew it was my own fault. The beginning of my freshmen year at Rio Linda High School, I started dating, and since I was shy, my social circle was super small so I ended up with a few friends, some which I already knew from long ago. According to some people, freshmen year is the year that you are suppose to know many people, and then you slowly close your social circle. But for me, it was the opposite; I instantly closed it, I even pushed a good friend out of my life. And, when I look back, my freshmen year was over as soon as it started because I barely had any memorable moments. My second year in high school started, and for some odd reason, it felt like I was starting Freshman year all over again because I was still as shy as ever and I barely had any friends, but I had one of my good friends who I lived next door to at the time, Kim. The year started out good, I actually believed that sophomore year would be a fresh start for me, but when second semester hitted, everything fell apart. I started having more family problems. I had boy problems. I had problems with other girls. I moved away from Kim, and we started drifting apart, or some can say I pushed her away because I didn’t want to burden her. “Hey, what’s your name?” I remember Alyssa, a girl I had three classes with asking me one day in our fourth period. I looked up from my seat confused and replied, “N...Nancy,” I smiled to hide the awkwardness of me knowing her name but her...

...Chances, I was initially thinking of writing something that would inspire me to give myself a chance to love once again. Instead, I decided to take the chance to write this letter for you. Let me start this by admitting to you that your love was remarkably one of the most wonderful experiences in my life, there’s no way I can put into words the love I felt from you and what I might also be still feeling from you until now. I looked over the pain that caused us, the mistakes made, because you were never the kind of person who keeps ill-feelings for others, but I am your exact opposite. I find it hard to forgive and forget. All this time, I’ve been holding onto the idea, that after getting over all this trouble, we are finally meant to be together. I would always remember the lines I’ve read from one of Paulo Coelho’s book, stating a quote from I Ching: “It says that a city can be moved but not a well. It’s around the well that lovers find each other, satisfy their thirst, build homes, and raise their children. But if one of them decides to leave, the well cannot go with them. Love remains there, abandoned – even though it is filled with the same pure water as before.” I knew you’ll always be a part of what I have made myself as of this time. I poured my happiness and dreams with you. You were supposed to be a part of my future, but it was all shattered with that revelation from your ex-girlfriend that you got a child with her a year before we met. I now understand why the vast...

...looking to hire professional dancers ,like me, to dance abroad. His offer included me dancing at a club in the city of New York during night shifts. We briefly talked about the pay, which he said would be 1000 dollars weekly. I’ve never been to the U.S but I was certain that 1000 dollars a week was not bad at all. I didn’t accept his offer, but I did take his card, and kept it, just in case I changed my mind. That night I couldn't fall asleep, I kept thinking about all the things I could do with so much money. For instance, I could buy my mother the house she...

...be talking about are: the internet, a text book, and NHS facts. I found all of these resources useful in different ways, and also reliable in different ways. I chose these particular resources because I have many opinions about them, some good, some bad. The mix of opinions is good because I can discuss both sides, and have a good balance between the opinions. The internet The source that I will be talking about first is the internet. The use of the internet helped me a lot with the assignment, this is because I was easily able to just search up what I needed to and then was able to put it into my own words and add it into my piece of work. I think that it also made my work better because I knew that the websites I was using were reliable and all the information in them was correct. And I think that this made my work good because I knew the information was correct and knew that I didn’t put anything in that was incorrect. Another way that it helped to support my work was that it was quick and easy, it gave me the answers straight away, and I didn’t have to take ages looking for the topic that I needed to know about in a text book. I used bitesize a lot, this is because the information that was on the website was easy to understand and set out in a simple form. The main reason that I think this resource is good is because it is quick and easy to use. Here is some supporting evidence:...

...Planning for me is like a baby climbing a mountain. It’s not impossible, but not very possible either. Usually, my plan is to run at the bad guy with a sword, and scream like I knew what was going on, but in this case, that will not help me. Max knew me too well. I thought about this as I sat on a roof with Alexus, my ‘mother’. Even though she was eighteen, she acted like an adult. She rubbed my hair as I lay there across her lap, telling her what had happen. I did not skip out any detail, because I knew if she got the whole story, than she would be able to help me more. “So,” I asked, when I got done, “what do you think I should do?” She sat, thinking of a reasonable answer. “Get captured,” she responded. “What,” I asked, suddenly jumping from my place...

It was early in the morning, there were birds chirping while a cool breeze was in the air. Dalia, my little sister, and I arrived outdoors to play a game of soccer. I dashed towards the goal with the soccer ball in front of me ecstatically thinking that I was on my way to making a goal. Unexpectedly, my sister catches up and steals the ball away from me. Surprised, I tried to steal it from her but failed as I heard the ball hit the net...

...people who were always there for me, the people who picked me back up whenever I was down. There was one thing missing from their faces: Life. Their broken bodies were scattered here and there but nonetheless they were not moving. A blood curling scream erupted from my mouth but no one else was there to listen to it except me. I had caused this; I had claimed the lives of all my friends. I knew that they were not going to come back or talk to me or go for a movie with me. I just knew that this was the end. But still even in my denial I could make out the voice in my head saying...”They brought this on themselves, don’t torture yourself for it”. I wanted to crawl into a hole and rot in there for all eternity, but no matter how far I ran I realized that what had happened could never ever be changed. I felt a hand on my shoulder and I could only see an ashen, terrified face covered tears. It all began like this…. 6 hrs 38 min and 3 sec BACK I was running shirtless with my hands flailing above me screaming Whoooo!! I had lost my mind (yes I was drunk) and had no clue what was going around me. All I knew that I was having fun and I didn’t care what would happen. I heard laughter around me but one laugh caught my attention and in a second I knew that this night was going to be a blast. “I have an amazing girl-friend, what could go wrong?!” I said. What I didn’t know that in exactly 1 hr and 22 min everything was about to turn around. TIME PASSES I knew I shouldn’t have taken that...
