The Greatness of Religion

I believe that religion is important to humanity. Religion is important to most people in today’s world. It is something that makes this world go around and lets people believe in what they want. It lets people be there own person and does not make everyone the same. I believe that it is a way for people to form what kind of life they are going to live. It helps them determine what the right and wrong things are. It also helps you follow a way of life to be successful and to be the best person you can be. Most religions have usually have a positive story behind them and you try to learn from them. The religion I believe in is Catholicism. In Catholicism there is a set of rules that all Catholics follow called the Ten Commandments. They are a set of rules that every Catholic should follow in order to be a great person. I was never big into religion until I reached my freshman year in high school. I never thought it was really important at all and I final realized it is. My religion became an essential part of my life and changed the way I looked at things. I started to become a better person by trying to follow the ways of Catholicism. I started trying my best to follow the ways of Jesus and tried be as great of a person as he was. Religion has changed my life dramatically and helped me learn many new things. It has helped me have faith and get through times of struggle. When my aunt got diagnosed with cancer it helped me believe that she could become better through prayers. It helped me realize that God is always with me helping and to always have faith no matter what.

The Meaning of Sports



Sports have not only played a big part in America, but also all over the world. The Olympics is a great way for the best players of each country to compete against each other to see who the best is. People of all ages are watching it on television cheering for their country. Every single country wants to come out with the gold medal, but that does not always happen. Athletes who win gold medals are look upon as superstars and many people in today’s culture would love to be like them.

The Olympics started in 1896 when they were modernized, and it has continued until this day. If you are an outstanding athlete in today’s world, you are looked up to as a role model. For example the Jamaican runner Usain Bolt. He won the 100 meter in 9.69 seconds breaking the world record. Before becoming a runner, not a lot of people knew about him. Just from being in the Olympics and breaking the world record kids know about him. There are kids everywhere who want to be just as good as he is, and he is looked up to many people in today’s world as a role model. Michael Phelps is another example, and he is known as one of the greatest swimmers of all time. Just because he is an outstanding swimmer, people will start to buy his products and look at him differently.
The Olympic Games are extremely competitive. People in today’s culture will do anything to be a winner, or to win a gold medal someday. The Olympic Games teach people how to work hard for what they want and to try to accomplish it. The world today is a very competitive place and sports help you learn how to work hard at what you do.
