In my life I've had some tough times and I didn't think I could make it through but I did. This picture is the symbol of hope and faith for me. Here's a little background on this picture. I used to not believe in miracles or anything until I accepted Christ. I followed him and started to pray and trust him. I fell behind and i let him go but with the separation of my parents he called me back. I started to pray and hope to him that things would get better. I had to have some faith and let life go through its course or it wouldn't do any good. This symbol is an image that can remind you of many things.
Sometime many of us hit bumps in our lives and we feel like we cant get through them on our own, and that we need someone with us to help us. this image shows us that we need to be strong and have hope that things will get better soon. We shouldn't give up so easily. I can be very sentimental sometimes and its hard for me when things go wrong and i cant deal with it. When i see this picture it helps me relax and see that there's a reason for all that's happening. It helps me realize that I need to be patient and have faith and hope that things will be better. When I know i need to have hope and faith this image pops into my head because they're two hands together in prayer mode ready to pray and let life go on. Sometimes it hard when your in a situation like with my parents separation to have hope and faith that things will be okay.
This image is connected with me in every way. Its what helps me go on in my life when I feel like I can't. this image means a lot to me its kind of what runs my life. It motivates me to keep going and put things that are going wrong aside and know life keeps going even when you feel down. When i see this image it brightens up my day and it reminds me when i was younger and wouldn't really know what was going on and i would always say things will be okay. Now I know that things change but there's explanations. like my mom always said "when one door closes another one opens".
Hi Xochilt,
ReplyDeleteIt looks like your thesis talks about you’re your hope and faith. For me as a reader I would have loved for you to describe the picture in more detail. You have supported you thesis in second paragraph by telling us that when you see the picture that it helps remind you to have hope and faith. You might want to try and have at least one more page when writing you final draft. You might also want to try and use the picture to describe how it helps you with the bumps in the road. Is it the hands alone or is the light that gives you peace. These would be helpful. Thank you so much for sharing your faith, I’m glad that the Lord has brought you though that hard times.
Hello Xochilt,
ReplyDeleteYou wrote your response with a great deal of love I could tell this picture means a lot to you. Your writing flows well and your thesis is clear and focused. A suggestion that I would give is that you could maybe give a specific example of how your faith and this picture got you through a rough time with details to back it up. You really have the makings of a great essay here. I know my essay is not as good as this though. Thank you for your time and hope you have a good week.

Hello Xochilt,
ReplyDeleteI love your belief and your explaination of the picture that you chose to share. I can agree with your mother when one door closes another will open.We might not see it at that moment,but when we reflect we can be greatful that we had the experience and learn from it. This shows where you got your belief form. Your thesis statement was clear and your essay was very clear.
Thank you,
