I have always had a love hate relationship with words. From the time when I was younger, and harsh words were used upon me to punish me for thing I did wrong, to the time they had had made me laugh so hard I felt like crying. Words have always been a part of what triggered my emotions. Because we use them so often, we never really notice what big impact words have on us, which is why I believe that every word should be handled with care, since each word can be more hurtful or fulfilling, then any other action could.

The day I really found out how much words could hurt was an evening during a sleepover where my best friend and her brother had a even greater fight than they usually did. Everybody was extremely tense and after all that had been said, I was so scared that I didn’t know how to comfort my friend. Given the circumstances, her mother sent my back home. While I was getting into the car, I could hear the door squeak open. The last thing I heard was, “What kind of friend are you? I hate you!” As we drove away from her house, I could hear those words echo in my ear. It had only been those three words, I hate you, and it completely crushed me. It was a shock, and I felt so heartbroken and I finally understood what power words had, and how deep they could cut. I never treated words the same.

Looking back now, I can remember so many more instances where words had such big significance in my life. I have learned to be cautious of what I say because of what happened

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.

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…
