Religion/Searching Part I
Religion in my life has been a mortal dilemma in simplest terms. As I have matured, I have started questioning many things in my life including my religion. All my life, I have had a strong religious background. Both my parents are very involved in my church. But despite their involvement, it is not easy to grasp religion when you are trying to figure the world for yourself. But I cannot say the God hasn’t affected my life in a positive way. A lot of my moral beliefs are based off his existence but at the same time, his existence is questioned….

Place Part II
Living in a big city can really be quite intimidating if your not use to it. This it the way I feel about my religion. Many people after moving to a big city such as New York or Chicago or San Diego, probably feel a sense if confusing and feeling of change; similar to the way I'm feeling.

Family Part III
I was born August 1st, 1990, the first of tow children. My family has always had core values with strong interfamily relationships. While my mom was always hard working as well as my dad as well. Being hard workers, and people of the bible, my family has always had a positive outlook onto life. We see opportunities as ways to be successful. We also like to make things happen and have a positive effect on our community. This is done by trying to make things happen by volunteering out time to good causes. But my family seems to have always had a higher level of expectation for the elder child. During my life, my parents have held me to a higher level. I believe that this expectation has been very positive as it has made me more responsible as well as more mature.

Game Part IV
My life has always revolved around sports. Baseball has always been my families most enjoyed game. Every spring when I was little, my parents would sign me up for baseball at Point Loma Little League. I would spend countless hours there mainly Saturdays. There, Pickle was the ultimate game. When we didn't feel like going home or we just had a while before our schedule game, we would play. The greatest thing about the game would have to be the thrill. As someone would chase you down with a tennis ball between the bases, you would try to not get pegged. But why even play, whether it was more for pride or for fun, pickle was my ultimate child hood game.

Important Person V
My childhood was full of many important people that helped me grow. One of the most important would have to be my 4th and 5th grade teacher; Mr. Neel. He was a great teacher who at a young age opened my eyes to the world. He was the first teacher that I really got to know. He put me on a great path for education as he taught me many core values. He was the first teacher that really cared about me and my education. I remember the so many times he came to out house and had dinner with my family and I. He would talk about his life and Vietnam and other such events. He was definitely a man of wisdom who devoted his life to education.
