This I Believe

There has only ever been one thing I can truly say I have strongly believed in my entire life; the batman. Now, I’m not saying that I believe there’s a man running around a city wearing a batsuit defeating super villains on a daily basis, but that someone, as long as they put everything they have into life, can be a hero.
Batman was everywhere when I was growing up. He was on my notebooks, my toothbrush, my pajama pants.. I even had a batman costume (cape included) that I wore absolutely everywhere. I spent hours every day running around and pretending I was fighting the villains I saw Batman fight on TV the night before. My dad even took me on crime fighting sprees in the backyard. I firmly believed that I would be one of two things when I grew up; batman or a cat.. but the cat story is something I’ll save for another day.
I got made fun of in school because I wasn’t like all of the other girls who had Barbie dolls instead of action figures. As I’ve grown older, I’ve come to realize how much Batman has influenced my life. Batman gave me courage when I got picked on at school. He taught me about compassion, and how to pick myself up after falling. He showed me that anyone can be a hero as long as you make choices for the right reasons. Being an outcast was never a concern of mine because I knew that even though I didn’t have a lot of friends, I could still be a hero to someone like Batman is to Gotham.
I believe that everyone is given opportunity to be a hero every day. While we may not have superhuman abilities or eight years of training with the League of Shadows, we can still make differences by learning to be compassionate,

Brune 1 Max Brune Mr. Flynn CC Comp 28 October 2014 I Believe in Summertime Summer is a time when I am playing soccer, swimming and having no worries. Being able to be a stupid teenager and do stupid things with stupid teenagers. A time when the sun is out and I am ecstatic. Summer is by far my favorite time of the year. I spend a lot of my time traveling and going to music festivals. I believe that summer just isn’t a time where there is no school, but a time to bring your family together…

A friendly hello once in awhile does not harm anyone. I believe that if you greet a person with a pleasant smile and genuine “hello” and a “how are you doing?” you can make their whole day much better. It is the simple act of kindness that everyone is able to show. Once while standing in the long line for the checkout at Wal-Mart, I noticed the cashier looked very tired and upset, and all the customers were in a rush to buy their things and leave. It was just a busy day, and rarely a few…

Glass I believe in being kind and courteous to the cashier person at the store. I believe that asking how the sales clerk is doing may help make his work day less boring. I believe sparking a small conversation and making someone laugh is much better than being another customer coming through the day. Working as a salesperson can be a bit boring at times, so I believe when someone addresses a clerk with lively friendliness it can help brighten up their day. The first time that I felt this way was…

Erika Guilliermo This I Believe rough draft I don't remember what we were fighting about or why my parents were yelling at me. I don't remember what I wore that day or how old I was or what song it was or even why I was so angry. I do recall only one thing: I remember storming off to the piano, inflamed, and proceeding to bang a song out on the keys. I remember crashing my fingers down into chord progressions, and my anger, amplified through the tune, pulsating like a stereo all through the…

HONOR, COURAGE, AND COMMITMENT I still remember the day I graduated from Navy boot camp. I stood in formation and marched in ranks during the pass and review. I was dressed in my newly pressed uniform and polished dress shoes. I felt a sense of pride and accomplishment as I walked by the families and friends of not only myself, but of my fellow recruits, now my shipmates. I also remember stopping in front of the upper chain of command, and listening to the Executive Officer of Naval Station Great…

Bryan Period 2 19 August 2013 Mrs. Henry English 101 This I Believe As a child my parents would ruthlessly implement the fundamental idea of attending church and being a follower of Christ. As each day passed by, it never crossed my mind as to why this was so heavily pressed upon me. Being an adolescent, I would rather play outside with my friends and ignore the confusion of religion. This perplexity lingered in my consciousness for years and it was not until my teenage days when…

I believe in World Citizenship Someone asked me one time why I seem irritated when I hear the question “where are you from”? Honestly, the main reason is that I hear this specific question several times every day. People are always intrigued by my accent and the fact that I know so much about other countries. The truth is, it is unfair to those people for me to get upset because there is no way for them to know that several other people already asked me the same thing. When I do…

This I Believe- When I was six, I remember fishing with my uncle in a chilly Colorado River. I was growing impatient because the fish were feasting on my uncle’s bait while they treated mine like the green bean casserole at our family’s holiday dinner table. My uncle, three years younger than my dad, lives with lots of love and is the reason I love to fish. He’s an avid fisherman so when his rod tip dipped he made quick work of the small rainbow trout that must have heard the rave reviews about…

horse industry truly is. Every day I ride, my trainer pushes me to my breaking point which slowly creates the desire to stop for the day, but all she ever says is “Push.”.

Each minute that passes causes my body to feel as if it were breaking down. By the end of my lesson I feel accomplished and I know how much stronger I will become over time. Riding for…

2013 Mrs. Butler The Unexpected Finding I believe in the inevitable. The unexpected joys and problems in day to day life. I strive to find peace with everything that happens to me. Even if something doesn't go to plan as I thought it would I try to think that everything happens for a reason. As George Bernard Shaw once said, “If history repeats itself, and the unexpected always happened, how incapable must Man be of learning from experience?” I found this statement to be very true to our sense of…
