...When I was a child, my grandmother used to tell me about being a mother. “the true happiness of a woman begins when you becomes a Mother. It is when you’ll feel miracle that there is a little creature in your womb waiting for his time to see the world. But once you hear the baby’s first crying, held him in your arms, a feeling of excitement and joy is there. After all the pains and sufferings, you will say…IT IS ALL WORTH IT!” she said. Being in a developing country, people are poor and chance for one to own technological equipment is very slim since the big companies think people cannot afford by the fancy things while filling up their stomachs is already hard. I remembered winning an Apple Ipod at my company ceremony several years ago; my co-workers and my friends were looking at me as if I have won the greatest gift in life. The envy looks and congrats from other people around me that day gave me a great feeling even though I knew have won a wonderful gift. We had been trying to conceive for 3 three years utilizing all methods that we knew how including help from specialist. Now that I finally got my papers that allow me to join my husband in the country that stands for many wonderful things where freedom is everybody’s God given right and Apple Ipod is easy to own even if one don’t have enough money to pay it off at once. We have decided that it time we get serious help from the most advanced institution in the region. We picked Shady Grove IVF facility to start...

...That’s Not What I Believe October 2, 2011 Years ago when the winter Olympics were in Salt Lake City a news reporter went around to public places in Utah and interviewed as many Mormons as he could to try and get an idea of what Mormons “really believe.” I distinctly recall how surprised I was when everyone he interviewed, despite all being Mormon, described beliefs that were very different from my own and even different from each other. My mom, sister and I stood around the TV frustrated. How could these people get it so wrong? Didn’t any of them pay attention in church? This was a lesson I wouldn’t internalize until years later. Like many ex-Mormons, I’m guilty as charged when it comes to digging up amusing, factually wrong or plain absurd things that Mormon leaders have said or comment on absurd or destructive teachings. Even so, just because the church teaches something doesn’t mean all Mormons believe a certain way. A really poignant example is the godmakers cartoon, which I should point out is not and never was “banned.” The cartoon suffers from two problems. First, it’s old, and reflects teachings of the church from the 1960s and 70s. It was released in 1982, and of course the exact date that any given teaching was abandoned is rather fuzzy since the leaders don’t exactly go to the pulpit and say “we no longer believe this.” They just stop talking about it. The second problem with that cartoon is that while the church did legitimately teach everything they mention,...

...September 2012 Looking up I remember seeing my brilliant sister’s face, Rania, playing with me and resembling something so caring. There was never a time she wasn’t strutting with confidence. Growing up my sister always put others before herself including me. As the middle child she never refused when it came to doing something for my oldest sister and I. When it was time for Rania to graduate, and go off to college, she did not burden my parents by asking for tuition. Instead, she worked at William’s, a pipeline company, until she was able to be completely financially stable. Although, my sister had to work very hard, she never complained. I cannot recall a single moment when she was pessimistic around me even if she had a rough day. Because of her perseverance, she has caused me to have an entire new take on life. Knowing her struggles, I was able to use her life as an example to set me on the right path. She impacted me day by day without me even knowing it. As I look back at all I have accomplished in life, I realize if it wasn’t for her I would not be the man I am today. When I face adversities I refer back to my sister, and how she persevered through things much more difficult than anything I would be facing at the time. Through Cross country, Track, Football, and Basketball my sister was the thing that kept me going. Without her I would not have a strong mentality, and would not be able to see the “light” at the end of the tunnel. I now know that I should have no excuse in...

...Throughout the play Blanche compare’s Stanley’s behavior as animalistic. In many different situations throughout the play Stanley prove’s Blanche’s Ideal of how he acts as an animal. I believe that this is true based on how blanche describes him in these situations. The first instance where Stanley show’s how he act’s like an animal, is in the opening scene of Blanche Stella and Stanley all being together. In this scene he throw’s a piece of meat at stella as if he is an ape. Stella seem’s to show no regard to Stanley’s behavior. Blanche on the other hand is completely shocked and cant imagine anyone treating her sister that way, especially her husband. Blanche waits until she is able to get Stella alone and confront’s her about the situation. She says “ He act’s like an animal, has an animal’s habits....yes, something ape like about him, like one of those pictures I’ve seen in anthropological studies!” (74). This kind of behavior is foreign too Blanche and she cant understand how or why anyone would want to be with someone who acts in this manner. I completely agree with Blanche’s thought’s toward’s Stanley because there is no reason why any husband should treat their spouse this way. Even though it might have been more common in New Orleans at this time for men to be above women in a sense, I see no reason as to why a husband would throw meat as his wife and expect her to take it without question. The next scene in which Stanley is showed as a reference to an animal is on...

...Paper . PART ONE: What are your top two Spiritual Gifts? Do you agree with the results? Why or why not? My top two Spiritual Gifts are: (1) Evangelism; and (2) Pastor/ Shepherd tied with Showing Mercy. I completely agree with the results . I agree because I am a very compassionate woman. I love people and also willing to help those in need. I am able to sympathize and empathize with people who may have problems that others might feel uncomfortable with. I am also a very good listener. I love to share the Gospel with others and bring the lost to know Jesus Christ. I am truly blessed to have these gifts that God has given me. PART TWO: Specifically, how can you use your gifts at this time? How might you misuse your gifts? Be specific. There are many ways I can use my gifts today. In my Church there are people who often come to me to “unload” what’s going on in their Lives. I am always there to listen and give them the best advice I can. I show mercy by going with a group from the church to visit the ones who are shut-ins and letting them know that we care for them and that they are not alone. Outside the church I volunteer for Domestic and Sexually abused women’s shelter. I do a weekly Bible study and I teach some of them how to cook. I soon will be taking the required training to be a Christian Counselor. I also post Scripture, Devotionals, and prayers on my face book page. There are many ways I can misuse my gifts as...

...“What if I BELIEVED kindness to be a coupon” Tracey Smith Ms. Weber English 090 November 11, 2012 When we arrived to Sunday morning paper or to a coupon book standing in a store line we think, "yeah! $1.00 off my next 2 boxes of hamburger helper"! Better yet, we think of how much money we are saving ourselves at that checkout line as if we are playing a game of..., I am going to save more moo-la, also know as money, than I thought this week and I will have more funds in my pocket for this weekends fun! However, what if we looked at kindness as a coupon? I believe that we look at our lives day-to-day, more and more as if we are expecting someone to be nice to us. Not giving it a second clipping about what change we are saving by being kind to one another. Saving $1.00 in our bank of kindness, for that rainy day of, "I hate my life"....; also known as kindness, should be something we all think about . I mean, would it even take as long as scanning our eyes over the Sunday paper, looking online for coupon codes, or looking for those red clearance stickers? I believe we should take our kindness and think of it more as a savings in our coupon bank for a remarkable hoping for a $1.00 saved in the Universe of life. If I would consider it a savings of money, could I not think of it as a deposit on my own debts of unkindness? Does life and kindness not go hand in hand? Should I not recall the old saying "being kindness is goodness"..., if my parents didn't teach me after all someone...

...Parisa Shirazian Professor Dr. x CPSY 218 10 January 2014 What I believe About Human Nature The path culminating in the knowledge of human nature necessarily passes through the realm of “self-knowledge”. I believe that self is a two-dimensional being like an organism. To know this “self” or organism, we first have to know what it is, and from which source it originates. This self is not only a psycho-organism but is a kind of psycho-spiritual organism that comes into existence from the fusion of the terrestrial and celestial souls; a living, dynamic, and evolving entity. I believe that psycho-spiritual organism is comprised of several components: 1) Ego, 2) Superego, 3) Super id, and a single component originating from the terrestrial soul that Freud’s psychoanalysis names it 4) id. What makes people go wrong is about the psychological and instinctual component that originates from terrestrial energy, vital instinct, and animal impulses in human beings. Id detests discomfort, suffering, and deprivation. It insists instead on the immediate and complete satisfaction of its needs, impulses, and desires. If the desires of Id are not controlled, we gradually become poisoned and may even reach the edge of ruin. So, obviously we can see that evil is not a creation. It is a dysfunction resulting from the misuse of freewill by responsible beings. Without freewill during the process of human development, there can be no reasoning, no mistakes...

First of all, I think it could be a period of total escape from reality and all of the problems that reality brings with it. Second, I believe that dreams provide a time of contemplation of past mistakes and what would have been the outcome if a different choice would have been made. Dreams, what are dreams?

...live since I was a very little girl. When I was only a couple of months old I was baptized. That was my first spiritual encounter with God. I then proceeded to commit my first communion in third grade. I then received my confirmation when I was in eighth grade. Like I said before God has been a very important part in my life for a very long time. Who is God? What are his characteristics? I believe that God is the person who created me and he is the person I believe in. I also think that God is the creator of the world and that has control over everything that happens in my life. I think that some of God’s characteristics are that he has the ability to make things happen. I think that he makes certain things happen for a reason. I also believe that one of God’s characteristics is to be there for you in your time of need. I believe this because god knows what you can and cannot do. God is not going to give you something that he thinks that you are going to fail at, I believe that he is going to challenge us a human beings but I believe that he is going to challenge us with things that he knows that we can do. A human being is a person that God puts on the earth to represent him in some way. I believe that God makes all human beings different because he wants us to be our own person but still reflect him in someway. I believe that when a person dies another person is born. I believe this because God is going to call people to heaven when he believes it is there time. I also believe...

...I believe in God. I believe God will be with us through everything that happens to us and he will always be right next to you wherever you are. I believe God loves us unconditionally and will give us hope, love, grace, peace, and acceptance. I believe that he will forgive us for any wrong we have done because of his unconditional for us. I believe God will provide us with what we need. I believe that God has a good meaning for everything that happens to us. I believe life is a journey. The long road makes us wiser, the wrong turns make us stronger, and the unexpected bumps bring us awareness. I believe that life is a great gift from God. I believe you should value and respect life. I believe God gave us life so that we can live the life he gave us to the fullest. I believe we are all special in our own ways and that if we combine all our talents and gifts we can make a better world to live in. I believe that we can all make a difference, even if were just a kid, if we put our hearts and minds to it. One quote that really inspired me is written by a girl who is my age, 14, named Abby Miller. This is what she says, "I'm just a person, a kid, there's not much I can do because I'm just a drop in a sea full of people, but every drop added can start a ripple which can start a wave of change. No matter what the outcome is we will always be that drop that starts that ripple that creates that wave that will reach so many people beyond our vision, so what's a better time than now to...

...1. Why is it important to know what you believe and why you believe it? (50–100 words) 2. Identify what YOU believe about God, the Bible and Jesus Christ. Why do you believe them? (50–100 words) For me, it is important to know what I believe and why is because I want to do just as stated in 1 Peter 3:15, "But sanctify the Lord God in your hearts: and be ready always to give an answer to every man that asketh you a reason of the hope that is in you with meekness and fear:" I was recently caught in a situation where I couldn't, and I felt ashamed that I couldn't answer a question about God and some of the more deeper things about God and what I believe. What I believe about God is He is the head of the trinity and oversees and commands everything. I believe He sent Jesus to die for us so we can have a way to pay for our sins. I believe Jesus suffered much pain, and temptations. Therefore He knows what we go through every day and wants us to trust Him. The Bible is where I go to in order to find answers to all questions in life. All three are the foundation of my life, and I couldn't do anything without them. What is it important to know what you believe and why you believe? I feel it is important to know what you believe and know why—so you may be a better witness for the Lord. I believe through learning you are able to give solid evidence as to why you believe and why someone else should believe too. Also, with the power of knowledge you are able to have a productive...

...faith, it is extremely hard for me to understand their faith and what they believe in. I was born into a Catholic family and was baptized and confirmed, but I am not practicing at all. I actually did not even believe in the Catholic faith when I was confirmed, which I know was bad at the time but I continued with the sacrament for my family. Although I do not practice any faith, I associate myself with the Catholic Church because I believe it is easier that way and it keeps my family happy. What is really weird is that when I learn about other faiths that do not have the same thoughts or beliefs as the Catholic faith, I become very angry at that faith. I do not understand why I become angry at other religions besides Catholicism when I do not even believe in the Catholic faith. My boyfriend’s family is Lutheran and they are extremely religious. We sometimes have talks about our different faith backgrounds but when we do talk about it, I immediately put up a wall and do not even care what they say. There are a ton of things about the Lutheran faith that I do not like believe in or like. The first, and most important, problem I have with the Lutheran faith is that they believe in scripture alone. I strongly believe that traditions are necessary for any religion because I believe they lay the foundation for a religion. Without tradition, nothing would be passed down from generations that symbolize that faith. I believe that the Bible is written of oral stories and at that time,...
