The Secret Of My Reflection

Throughout my childhood I was very insecure about my appearance.Only recently have I been able to look at myself in a positive way. In the middle of my sophomore year my family went on the paleo diet. Also known as the “caveman” diet. You aren't supposed to eat any processed foods or meat , including sugar and flour. This was a real struggle for me. When I was young eating was my favorite activity. I wasn’t the skinniest child, I snacked whenever I had an urge to eat, which was mostly all the time. It was very unhealthy , as I grew older I learned more about the way foods are processed and ways to eat healthier. It wasn't until I started this diet that I realized how much eating healthy impacted my body. During this diet I would question myself. To eat the cookie or not? To taste the sweetness of processed sugar for the first time in 5 months? In the back of my head was a voice telling me that if I cheated and ate something I shouldn’t no one would know except me. It was these thoughts that made this diet such a challenge. Food was always the way to go for me. When I was upset I ate, when I was angry I ate, even when I was happy I ate. My dad definitely helped me see the importance of not over eating. He believed that if I worked towards a goal I could reach it. It wasn’t all about losing weight. The diets my family do are meant to bring us together. To make us stronger. I might have focused more on my weight then the real purpose of the diet

This I Believe Essay

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…

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…

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…
