It was ninth grade when I was influenced by a miracle. His name is Jesus Christ and I believe that he is my savior. He influenced me to become a better person in life and his teachings still influence me to this day. Now, some people believe that he wasn’t a real person and everyone is entitled to his or her opinion but, I believe that he was a real person.

Back then in the ninth grade I was childish, immature, and sort of a punk. I had no future goals or plans that would lead me to success. I was into different things that I now know I shouldn’t have been involved in. I would hang out with the wrong crowd and do things that hurt me overall. I wasn’t open for change and I didn’t even have a clue about religion. Jesus Christ influenced me to become a better person and live a better life.

In the past, I would drink and party with friends on the weekends which caused me to completely ignore my responsibilities to my family, school, and my life. Now I gave up all the drinking, partying, and those certain individuals that tried to hold me back from changing. Jesus taught me that I cou...

  • Six Characteristics Of Christianity: My Discourse Community Is Christianity

    1805 Words  | 4 Pages

    My family taught me about Jesus at a young age, so I always knew I wanted to have a close relationship with him. Knowing that God is going to have my back no matter what was the best feeling to me. He will never leave a person or turn his back on them. The fact that the Bible guides people is one of the amazing things to me because one scripture can change a person whole life. My discourse community teaches a person about faith, love, and everything a person will ever need in life. Jesus encourages people, and supports people when they fail. Being a Christian motivates me and gives me a meaning of life. Being saved is easy, but the hard part is following his guidelines. He knows people are going to make a lot of mistakes in life, but the fact that he doesn’t judge them is amazing. Accepting Christ means a person has escaped that judgment and therefore they will have external life. Being a part of this discourse community has brought me to a new place in life, and for that I am

    ...hing in my power to get things back to the way they were before but it was just not happening. One morning when I was doing my devotional, I read in my devotional book that without God anything we try will fail. It was as if God said, “Here have a big piece of humble pie.” In college, humility will be a big part for me in that I will have to remember to ask for God to make me humble everyday. This, I believe, will further deepen my relationship with the Lord.

  • Personal Narrative: Entering High School

    290 Words  | 1 Pages

    I grew up in a family who wasn't involved in church. My parents never attended church, but they did believe in God. I didn't have much knowledge about God. I knew very little of him, but what I did know was that he sent his son Jesus down to earth to save us. Often I believed that if you do many good things you would go to heaven. As a teen, I enjoyed going to school and playing sports. Entering high school, I began on the wrong path. I started to associate myself with the wrong group of people. Sports were becoming less fascinated to me. I got in a habit of drinking every weekend and surrounding myself with bad negativity. Everything went downhill from their.

  • College Admissions Essay: The Person I Am Today

    What makes me the person I am you ask? My family and ministers are the people who have helped me become the person I am today. Without ministers or more specifically my parents I would not be where I am today. One question people always ask is “How do you manage to do it? Or “How do you just let go of the past like that and move on so easy” My answer simply is “I just do.” Life is not always an easy ride, it comes with a lot of failure, successes and even lessons that are to be learned. During my nineteen years of life my parents have taught me how to care, how to love and most importantly how to be a godly woman. A woman who helps other people in need, but also a woman who has daily struggles just like everyone else. The real question is how did I become the woman I am today? Some things that have helped shape me along the way would be letting go of the past, knowing my worth, and most importantly prayer.
