I believe that if you work hard and make sacrifices, you will be successful. If there is something you love to do you should work hard for it and never give up. I wanted to be a pro golf and I made some sacrifices. I try every morning to wake up at 6:00 so I can practice golf. If you love a sport, you should have passion for it. That is my believe statement..

I believe that you should do whatever you want to and love to do. I do karate, but so many people try to bring me down. Even my friends. If only they knew how many people are into this sport and how cool it is to do.

I believe in dreams. The reason I believe in this is because if you don't have any dreams to go after or pursue then what are you doing? What are you living for? For example, my dream is to be a pro athlete and to get into Notre Dame, and thet is pursuing me to do my best in athletics and also school. That is why I believe in dreams.

I believe that failure is an opportunity for growth. Numerous undeniably hard challenges have occurred in my life, but instead of giving up, I've chosen to grow and learn by fighting through them. I've most certainly learned that sometimes you have to take two steps back to take one step forward, but once you've braved the fire, you end up a more experienced and smarter, wiser, human being.

I believe that you can't know everything. I have been asking the same question but never go t the answer. If we knew the answers to everything, we would know how everything was created, but we don't. There are way more better things in the world than know ing everything. I believe you can't know all the answers.

I believe that humans should find an alternative to plastic, such as potato starch, or milk proteins, or chicken feathers. I believe this because plastics are critical in filling up landfills with unnecessary litter and garbage. Restaurants are already serving utensils made out of potato starch, some companies are switching to glass containers, and even computer companies make circuit boards out of chicken feathers.

I believe that music is magic. It whisks you away to a different world, where anxiety and stress don't exist. Music lets you forget your troubles. You forget about the huge science test you haven't studied for, the essay you have to finish, and the fight you just had with your best friend. Nothing matters but the beat and the rhythm. It really is magic.

I believe that in order to be successful, you must work for it. In order to achieve your goals, you must work hard and put in the effort. I believe this goes along with school and with sports. To accomplish good grades in school, you have to study and always do the work. If you want to achieve your goal in a sport you must practice and work hard. I believe this because I do both as much as I can.

I Believe that friendship can last forever. I think that because friendship is something you earn not take. There is good experience and bad. For example like when yourself and someone else become best friends that is a special bond of friendship. Sometimes you disagree on things sometimes you can solve that problem. But when your older you will just think about when you just met your best friend.

But I believe that magic could be real and we just ave not discovered it yet or maybe some people have, but keep it hidden or try to tell us, but we don't believe them. So I definitely believe in magic.

I believe in dedication. I have come a long way since I started out in music. Sure, everyone has dedication, but I have had to keep at music for YEARS before finally realizing that I was doing it WRONG! You really have to put yourself inside music, feel how the writer's feeling, while adding your own. It was difficult to manage to do, but now I can honestly say that I am doing just fine. This is kinda long, so I'm guessing this is the end. So, that's why I choose dedication.

Many times in my life I have had experienced set backs and sad moment, reading and fiction in general has helped get me through the hardest moments of life. From personal experience, fictional stories has given me something and happy new to believe in, even if the story does not have a happy ending. Characters in the books I read and the movies I watch are always there for me in my times of need, for a good laugh, or a good cry.
