This I Believe…

I believe in innocence because people are sometimes innocent in their own way, but in my case it was taken away.

 My reason for believing in innocence is because mine was taken away in a way no one could imagine. People look at someone and suspect that certain things couldn’t happen to that person because of who they are, That’s how people label me, but that’s not even the case.

I believe you can’t tell if someone is affected by something or hurt in any way, shape, or form by the way they look or who they are. To me being judged in that particular way is a sign that people are just being ignorant.  I hate that people don’t know and I can’t say and they do things to hurt me while I’m in this stage.

I believe in innocence in every way. Mine isn’t a part of me anymore. The reason for that I don’t know- I guess it’s because he felt the need to do that at that time. My innocence was my womanhood; I guess you could say that. It was my choice to give that to who I pleased and he had no right to take that away from me.  It was taken while I was weak I and couldn’t do anything about it. It wasn’t my choice. If it was it would have never happened. I’m not saying I really regret him/her but it would have been nice to have planned everything.  For me, mine was taken in the most horrible way, but my situation I know isn’t the worst.

I believe in innocence…I believe my innocence was special to me, but I believe I will stay strong and independent and get myself through every obstacle people throw at me even if I have to go through them alone. And I believe I was INNOCENT.

   I believe that no one should be judged about who they really are! Everyone should be able to walk down the street without being laughed at or made fun of. Everyone has something wrong with them, no one is perfect. Some people think they are perfect but they are wrong. People may be short, tall, fat, thin, beautiful, and ugly, no matter what you look like you will never be perfect. Chubby people get made fun of, skinny people get made fun of, you can be beautiful and someone will make fun of you. I believe that people make fun of other people to make up for their own problems. I believe that everyone should be accepted for who they really are. This I Believe.

This I believe  everyone needs to learn to speak Chinese. Because Chinese is grade.  I can understand what everyone is saying. if everyone speaks Chinese, I can talk to many people in one time. I‘m from Taiwan, so Chinese is my first language. In Jefferson Middle School, no one can speak Chinese, so it was hard to get to know people. I didn’t know what they are saying. I hope everyone can speak Chinese one day, so I can talk to my friends easily. Chinese is good and interesting. when you are learn, it will be hard at first, but if you know how to speak Chinese, you will feel happy. If you can speak Chinese, you can make a lot of Chinese friends, too. Chinese is important in the world now. Because many people are from China and Taiwan. If you can speak Chinese, then, you can talk to them easily. A lot of people can do business more comfortable with Chinese. I believe Chinese is important and everyone should learn it.

I believe I can become a pro baseball player because I’m a good athlete and am an excellent teammate. I have baseball homework every night to make me a better player. Such as go through the motion and throw a ball around to make my arm stronger. These are much greater things than simple school homework we get every week. I have always kept my head high even when we lose. I play my hardest in every game. When I play there’s nothing going through my head except playing my best effort. My coaches always say “your playing time is determined by how hard you play.” So if I play and practice hard I will never sit on the bench. 

One game I was pitching and we lost 35 to 0, but I held my teammates through that loss. I came and gave them a pep talk after words saying to hold their heads high. The game itself is life, but when I lose it’s not life or death situation. Like when people lose a game they usually start crying but they should just get over it. It’s not the last game they will ever play.  I believe I can become a professional baseball player because I’m a good and respectful player. I am a beast when I’m in the zone. When the game starts I never give up. I will never stop loving the game or the things that lead to the game like practice.

I believe that roller coasters are scary, because you can get hurt. I have gone on like 3, and every time I have come off shaking and scared. I went on the Screaming Eagle as my first roller coaster. After I rode it I knew how they chose the name. I also went on the Boss, and I hated it, I hate the drops. The Ninja, jerked you way too much. From my experience I don’t like roller coasters. My whole family loves roller coasters.  When they want to ride a roller coaster I have to wait and it sucks, big time. Over all of my experiences I hate roller coaster, but when I go to Six Flags I’m going to try to ride some. In a way I’m facing my fears, but not alone!

I believe everyone should follow their own footsteps. I believe that everyone makes their own mistakes in life and they have to accept their consequences. Also people make their own dreams and people cannot get anywhere in life by living off of others dreams, and mistakes they have made for their own lives. From my own experiences I can remember a time when I was at school during the lunch period when my friend comes up and asks me  why are you so quiet and I responded  because this is who I am. So she said to me no you aren’t, and I had said yes I am because I am not a follower I refuse to do what everyone else is doing because what everyone else is doing is not what I want to do in my life. I feel like when you are your own person you should shine because everyone else has different personalities and qualities than you might have. People shine for what they do, not for what their friends do or family  do. I believe that following your own footsteps leads you into your following accomplishments in life and your destiny yet to come.

I believe that you shouldn’t be discriminated by where you live or what you have. I believe this because it happens everyday to people that aren’t the richest people with the most money. It is wrong to discriminate against anyone no matter what. If you think that you don’t discriminate at all there are different kinds of discrimination. The most common I see is discriminating is by what you have like clothes, house, car, etc. This is like saying your poor if you doesn’t have a good house car or house or you have bad clothes. Another kind is if you don’t go to a good school that you’re dumb or if you live in a bad neighborhood then you’re ignorant. But that’s not always true because there are a lot of pore people that are probably way smarter than you are. When you see a homeless person on the streets you probably think that they are dumb lazy people but most of them are really smart people that went to college and high school. Don’t think they are dumb lazy people. They just got it hard when they got out into the real world and never got out of there slump. Don’t just think people are dumb, ignorant, or lazy just by where they live or what they have. Don’t discriminate.

     I believe that no one should judge you by the outside; if you have a good personality you shouldn’t be judged by the way you look or the clothes you wear the color shape or size you are. Everyone has flaws, there is no such thing as perfect. All that matters in a person is their personality and the way they act.      Every day I go to school, I get called names and get pushed around. I’m tired of it! I don’t like people getting pushed around including myself. Everyone should be treated the same way and looked at the same way. You shouldn’t give people dirty looks or call them names; you don’t even know what the person is like. You should give everyone a chance no matter what they look like. I think you should be who you want to be, without anyone saying something about it. My best friend gets dirty looks in the hallway at school. I don’t think that would make someone feel good about them.      There are a lot of ways that you could make someone feel better about themselves, you could compliment them or maybe just even try to talk to that person. People might feel alone or scared. You just might need to be friendly and talk or walk with a friend. Just try to friends, or be helpful. You never know if a person is going through a hard time so you should just be nice.  The way they look has nothing to do with the way they act or their personality.      Just remember you can be pretty on the outside and ugly on the inside or ugly on the outside and beautiful on the inside. What would you choose? I would choose to be ugly on the outside and beautiful on the inside. The reason I would choose this is because even though people would make fun of you wouldn’t you rather have true friends who like you for you not what is on the outside.

     I believe that war is not good. People are now dying for no reason; families are falling apart because of this war. Children are not able to meet their parents because they are dying in the war. Men and women have to serve in the army instead of getting to watch their child grow up. People are dying like they do in poor countries, comparing it to starvation in other countries this is very close to the amount dying in the war. We have been in this war for a long time and we shouldn’t have even started this war. We need to get out of the war because our people are fighting for no reason. I don’t like the war because they are dying for no reason and they just keep sending out more and more troops.
