Recommended: The portrayal of death in literature throughout the years

It was no lie that everyone hated school. At certain points in time Faith hated it too, but she couldn’t hate it all the time like others. Faith actually enjoyed waking up in the morning, getting ready, and leaving for school. Waking up meant another day and everyday is a new day. After an accident Faith had when she was younger, that she actually can’t quite remember she started appreciating things more. However Faith couldn’t say the same for her best friend Amelia Chandler. Amelia always had been the type to live in the moment and ignore the “little things” but Faith just adores her. She had been her best friend for years and everything felt right with her by Faith’s side. Faith had a lot of good things and was very fortunate. Class for Faith had started and as her teacher explained the math problem,to the best of her ability, everything in Faith’s body felt off.

    “I always knew I wanted to be a teacher,” she stated. Her passion for helping children with special needs was developed at a later age. The reason why Chris decided to be a special education teacher was because of two twin boys in her grade who had special needs.

  • Personal Narrative: Unlearning Religion

    712 Words  | 2 Pages

    Socrates’ words, “an unexamined life is not worth living” best sums up my beliefs. I have no doubt that scrupulous examination of myself, as well as other philosophies and religions, will improve myself as a person. Perhaps enough thinking will even lead to enlightenment, but I am so far removed from that goal it would be foolish to consider the idea. The essay Unlearning Religion by Marianne Williamson best describes these beliefs. She writes that in today’s modern world, “our attention has been diverted away from the inner domains, the realms of true religion and spirituality, to the outer world.”

    Then I saw him. In the middle of the church half swamped by the blood, he lay. I struggled to my feet and wadded with great difficulty through the coagulating blood. It was definitely him and he had a faint pulse. I dragged him by his arm outside and yelled. The gargoyles that adorned the front of the church were peering down at me. At that moment I saw movement out of the corner of my eye again, but I was startled by the claxon sound warning of a bombing raid.

  • Personal Narrative: I Believe In Religion

    237 Words  | 1 Pages

    My parents have always been extremely religious and I've been forced into the Catholic faith since birth. From church classes to prayer groups and regular mass, I was spending up to 8 in church each week. Since coming to TJ, I have little to no time to attend religious services. My parents have even tried to increase the amount of time spent because they think I will have "a stronger faith". The problem is that I don't believe in my religion. They never understand that attending church is absolutely boring, I fall asleep during the mass (which, I know, is extremely disrespectful), and have a sour attitude for the rest of the day. I don't enjoy attending services and it's extremely obvious to the other members of my church. I also don't agree
