When I was about the age of 16 is disrespected my father. I didn't really mean to hurt his feelings, but it happened. I love my dad so much, he always been there for me. Correctly, I was always with my dad up and down. I was a daddy girl. He used top give me anything I wanted. Actually when my big brother came to the island to visit for a couple weeks . My dad started to change with me, and I was feeling left out. In every activity that my dad did, he always used to look for me. I ask my mom that why my dad is forgetting about me. So, my mom said that I am going to change with him and that I regret being his daughter because I felt like he didn't love me. My mom told me to don't worry …show more content…
Apologies are very difficult to make, but we need to get it over with and move on. Sometimes, you just have to think before you speak to adults. I learn my lesson being rude and selfish is not going to let you go nowhere. Finally my dad told me if I wanted to go fishing with him and my brother. So, I happily got up huge my dad and said yes dad I want to go, I went in my room got dressed and we went on our way to the beach to fish and have a nice time together. My brother told me that he understands me because I am always with my handsome dad. So when it was time to carry my brother to the airport, I was crying and feelings so sad. I did not wanted my brother to leave because I felt that we had a great bond between us three. We used to go fishing, swimming, or bike riding, movies, and so many more things. So when my brother left he told me that he is coming back as soon as he has a vacation, he'll be right back. maybe, he said he might stay to live with us. So, I was the happiest girl in the world, and I learn that apologies are not that hard to
As our first year of apologetic class, we started out with the basic idea of apologetics. The root word of apologetic, apologia, means “ To speak in defense “ and it is often used in religious matters. The purpose of apologetic is to give a solid and valid defense against the questions that are thrown against the christian society. We give such defense by stating the facts that provide support to the christian statements and views. As a christian, we are supposed to be able to explain our faith as it is said in 1 Peter 3:15 “ But in your heart set apart Christ as Lord. Always be prepared to give answer to everyone who asks you to give reasons for the hope that you have. But do it with gentleness and respect.”. We defend our faith not only to have a solid base, but also in order to help those who are in search for truth.
I do not have any memories of my own father as a child. I met him when I was about fourteen years old. My mother and grandmother, with the help of my uncles and aunt, raised me. Although I had strong positive male role models in my life, there was always the void of my father that I dealt with on a daily basis. I can remember at a young age, before blowing out the candles on my birthday cake, I would wish that my father would show up to my party. I had elaborate daydreams of him coming back into my life and doing things with me like I saw on television. It never happened. While walking to the train station one evening my uncle casually said to me “there’s your father” as if I saw him on an everyday basis. I didn’t...
It is well-known that the word ‘apology’ has evolved into a different meaning from the times of Plato and Socrates. In their day, the term apology was seen as a way to defend yourself, or an explanation of why you performed certain actions. In today’s times, we know that apology is seen as a way to correct a conflict you may have had with someone, or an acknowledgment of the wrong you have done. Socrates saw apology as quite the opposite. He had no remorse for the actions he had taken, in teaching the young men different views from
When reading the dialogs of Socrates, it is easy to ready each as an individual story. It is more difficult to take into consideration every word that Socrates has said up to that point and allow that to influence the validity of Socrates current position or argument. Though this may be more difficult we must take everything that Socrates has claimed to hold in every dialog. While doing this brings up a potential contradiction between Socrates Apology and in his dialog with Crito. Though this contradiction is clearly visible when focusing on just the idea of these claims, there is background beliefs of the Gods that allows both Socrates claim in his apology and his argument in the Crito dialogs.
However, my father did leave my mother and me when I was a toddler before I could actually remember him. He would call to talk to me a lot throughout the years to let me know that he loved me and he would also visit me sometimes. However, after he left, my mother found another man and gave birth to my three little sisters. I then became a big sister with responsibilities for more than just myself. Having little sisters taught me how to share and play nicely. That experience prepped me for my school years where I would have to get along with a new set of people.
I could not believe I caught a fish all by myself! His proud chuckle made me proud too. I remember posing to take the picture with my dad holding my prized first fish because I did not want to touch it. The fish was humongous or so I thought until I saw the one my brother caught ten minutes later.
As I got older, I became more and more detached from my father. I would never talk
I was raised by my mother and grandmother. They kept my head leveled and taught me that working hard leads to success. I loved them, and they were my role models. I grew up in a middle class family with strong women. I learned independence, and the strong will to never give up. It was the summer of 2005 when my mother re-married, and I was in the eighth grade. My mother was happy because she found the conclusion to her life: a husband. I was ecstatic because I finally had a daddy! My hopes, wishes, and dreams had come true. I felt that God answered my prayers. I loved having a father figure, although I had certain doubts. My uncertainty came from the way he looked at me. He looked at me the way men crave women. However, I concealed my unclear feelings because I did not want to ruin the current circumstances. Unfortunately, all of my suspicions were true.
October 20, 2007, the day that I’m going to say goodbye to my hometown. I was born and raised in Philippines by my grandparents for sixteen years. It is heart-breaking to think that I will not see them anymore like how I used to. I was 16 years old, and it will be my first time to travel with my big brother in the airplane. Our trip from Philippines to Virginia is approximately about 18-20 hours. It is not a direct flight, so we have to change plane three times, and it is a long trip for us. I was crying the whole time when we were in the airplane. As soon as we reach our last destination which is the Washington D.C., we have no way of communicating with my mom and auntie because we have no cellphones. I was hesitant to
It all started when we were in our Kansas home, mom said by the time we got to Ohio I had to make up my mind. She was talking about if I wanted to drive back to Kansas later that week because my sister had to go to cheer camp or if I wanted to stay in Ohio with my dad. Now see my dad works in the oil and natural gas pipeline industry so he’s always in a new state. He had been working in Ohio for a few months be for we decided to go up there. I dismissed the decision my mom had given me and continued to pack. When I was packing I packed a little more just incase I decided to stay there.
Shalom… How are you? I apologize for not having written to you in a long time. I have lately had an especially stressful and exhausting time… I'm still studying in spite of all the difficulties, and next Tuesday I will take my last and hardest exam of the year, in oral and maxillofacial surgery. I have studied very hard in the past two months, and even though my grades are not high in comparison with the other students in the class, up until now I have passed all my exams.
Forgiveness is the act of releasing an offender of any wrong or hurt they may have caused you whether they deserve it or not. It is a decision to let go of resentment or vengeance toward a person or group of people. When we choose to forgive, we’re wiping the slate clean, cancelling a debt, or as I love to say, “Letting it go.” In the Bible, the Greek word for forgiveness literally means to “let it go.” This concept, “forgiveness,” is easier said than done. Majority of people find it very difficult to let go of offenses and hurts caused by others. I really do believe that most people desire to let it go, but we lack the knowledge of how to do it. As believers, we are instructed by God maintain an attitude of forgiveness.
The kitchen is my most loved place in the house. I learned numerous skills in my grandma’s kitchen. Skills that supported who I am today and I hadn’t even realized it. I baked and cooked with my grandma every chance I got. During the summer it was difficult to convince her since it was so hot. Learning how to measure out ingredients was generally my job. However, I sometimes would give her the wrong measurement. When I gave her the incorrect measurement I would always apologize. After apologizing so many times my grandma finally said “ Do not apologize, only apologize for things you actually are sorry for.” Fortuitously what she said really encouraged me. In my life there were many things I could have apologized for to make someone else happy. From the lesson my grandma taught me I refuse to apologize for something I don’t feel I should apologize for. My grandma was the one person who taught me to be tough and not to hide my greatness for others to be happy. I owe my confidence to my grandmother and that
While walking by the shore I was amazed by the soft smooth sand beneath my feet, it seemed like all the worries I had throughout the year were finally erased. There was a rock facing the ocean that it thought was really cool, so I decided to settle there for a moment to appreciate the view, I closed my eyes for a second letting myself comforted by the sounds of the ocean, the sounds the waves were making against the rocks was impressive. Spending a few more minutes on the rock I decided to go back. Tying to help my parents for making breakfast, they sent me and my brother to get bread, and a few croissants at the bakery. My brother was driving while I was still wondering the landscape, I thought it was interesting how this island contained a mix between mountains, and beaches. At the table, conversations were spontaneous and positives, I forgot how fun breakfast could be when spending with family. That day we had has a plan to go to the beach, my mom could guess what me and my father had in mind. It was scuba diving and hunting with harpoons, but before we had to first buy the necessary equipment, and study the fishes we could hunt, since some were protected, and review the fishes that were edible. Finally done with preparation we headed to the beach, me and my dad waited that day for so long, being a big fan of hunting, I was quite impressed by the number of variety the Mediterranean Sea could provide, also what really shocked
The people we encounter, whether family, friends or strangers, all contribute in some way to our overall view of the world and of ourselves. They hold us together, pick us up when we fall, encourage us to do better, and tell us to learn from our mistakes. However, sometimes we find that our relationships are stressed through various trials and tribulations. Not to say that mutual disagreements won’t happen, just that sometimes our pride gets the best of us and we say things we wish not to say or do something with the intention of causing harm. Everyone has been there and done that, so don’t feel bad if you’ve ever made a mistake or poor decision in reference to those around you. One thing to remember is that it 's never too late to say “I’m sorry.” Admit to your faults, place your past behind you and your pride aside and apologize. After all, nothing is more painful than losing a special connection with someone, especially when that connection could have been repaired with a simple
