I am not really sure yet what I am doing for my belief essay. I am still trying to choose one. I am thinking of doing love, god, or equality but i am not yet sure what I am doing. I still have to choose. I am going to try to which one I have more to say about and just write about that one.

I've chosen to write about how I believe that NOT everybody deserves forgiveness / a second chance. Some people just aren't going to change their ways. I also believe that you should make sure to not be over-trustworthy and naïve. My entire family learned this from a certain experience...

For my this I believe essay my statement is, everyone is kind, even the cruelest of the cruel. No one is evil, they have to be kind or loving toward something or someone. It's impossible not to, even if it's themselves.

For my belief essay I have chosen "Forever Friendship". I chose this because I knew I had more to write about this than I did my other beliefs and I thought that I had a better story for this one.

For my I believe essay I am writing about how I believe in facts but, I also respect peoples beliefs and religious faith. I like to have cold hard facts to support me, but I also sometimes let my emotions control me. Facts help me believe in other things like evolution or if my cat is happy (when he purrs).

For my "I Believe" topic, I believe that my dog, Brady, has helped me and changed my life in many different ways. My dog has taught me that you have to take care of a living thing daily or else they won't get the proper excercise and diet if you want a healthy pet. Also, my dog has helped me to be aware of an animal's strengths and weaknesses, which could be a vital skill if I want to become a veterinarian. This is why I believe that my dog has helped me and changed my life.

For my This I Believe essay, the statement I chose was "failure is not an option." The reason I chose this was because instead of giving up, you can keep going at a challenging goal or task and persevere until you achieve it.

I also believe that mangoes can be a metaphor for humans. I believe this because they come from so many different places, have different colors, and varieties. Some are also sweeter than others!!!!
