It started when I was around 4 years old. My friend and I would pick one person to be in charge and do whatever that person said. I guess at that age all the power of being right all the time kind of went to my head and it stuck.
I believe in fighting for what you think is right. I believe in being yourself, following you heart, and doing what you think is right. My friend and I always argue about who is right or wrong. And these aren’t about the important things like politics and global warming but about whose sandwich is better or who got the better score on one videogame out of a million that we’ve played in our lifetime. Sure we’re friends but that doesn’t mean I will just let him be right all the time. I always feel the need to fight for what I think is right. These things are pretty stupid and aren’t really worth the argument yet this is the place where my beliefs started.
This is around the time when 9/11 occurred. I remember the day. I was just sitting in my den watching TV when it came on the news. Back then I really didn’t understand what was going on; yet now when I look back, I see that as the first time my belief was tested. Although this act of terrorism was horrible, I kept thinking that Al Qaeda was fighting for what they believe in. In the harshest retrospect they were following my belief. I was confused and I didn’t know what to think. Was I someone who respected Al Qaeda? But now I realize that I didn’t have to believe they were doing the right thing. Every belief has a limit.
As more wars break out around the globe, my belief is tested again and again. Are we wrong to kill the enemy just because we think we are right? But I always think to myself there is a difference between killing for fear and killing to protect. I feel that there will always be doubt and confusion in your life but you should always push through it and follow your heart out of the mist. And no matter how many people important or not, disagree with you, always ignore them and fight for what you think is right. This I believe.
this is good woo!!!!! great job incorperating 9/11!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteI agree that every belief should have a limit becuase if we never stop going higher in our belifs we can never understand what other people think
ReplyDeleteDefinitely sounded like you knew exactly what you were talking about and you said it from the heart. Nice job Woo
ReplyDeleteWoo,
ReplyDeleteThis was really good. I like how you made a connection to 9/11!
I like the way you connected the beginning of the entry to the end of the entry. It comes full circle. I also like the substantive examples you included in the entry.
ReplyDelete4/5 points. Be careful not to start a sentence with a FANBOY. Remember our rules from last year.
