Letter to Someone

Dear ____,

Hi, I know you’re not Christian, but I’m going to show why Jesus can be trusted. First of all, he’s fulfilled every type of prophecy said about himself. He road into Jerusalem on a donkey, he was resurrected within 3 days of his death, he would be pierced with a spear on the cross, and many, many more. While there is always the extremely miniscule chance of this all being coincidence, this is, like I said, overwhelmingly small and can be excluded. Secondly, he had great authority through his miracles. Through his healing and other miracles, Jesus persuaded so many to his cause. One could say though, that he was simply a magician of some sort, but coming back from the dead? I heavily doubt any magician in all of history could replicate that. Finally, he was an overall great person. He taught to serve others, to be humble, and treat others as ourselves. If he believed this, then he couldn’t be corrupt or lie, however I understand that this may take some faith to accept, which is key to trusting Jesus. In all, I hope that you may read this letter and place your trust in Jesus Christ.

From,

Trevor

Gandhi's Quote

Be the change that you wish to see in the world.
-Gandhi

Quite the obviously, the quote tells us that if we see a problem, we should take action ourselves. I for one love this quote and wholeheartedly agree to it. We should absolutely fix problems that we see or else we are only contributing to the dilemma. However, there are exceptions, we can't all become the president and solve the recession and we can't really go to the middle east and kill every terrorist leader. These actions though, are only small exceptions and are ridiculous and therefore, don't really tamper with the quote's main message. There is another exception too, raising awareness and inspiring others. Things like encouragement, while helpful in a way, feels slightly hypocritical in my opinion, but I feel that it can be okay if you do some service, but nothing is better than taking direct actions with others and being the change you want.

Camp Experience

My camp experience consisted of many ups and downs. First of all, the capture the flag and zombie apocalypse games were a blast, and the free time let me do anything I wanted, which was air hockey. However, during zombie apocalypse, as I was being chased by a zombie, I tripped and twisted my ankle so now I have to limp around everywhere. Another bad thing was that as we left the bowling alley, my tribe and two others were left without a bus to return, so we had to take the MTR and arrived to camp to be able to eat whatever was left from dinner. As a whole, I'd say this camp was pretty negative for me considering my injury, and without I'd probably still prefer going to school over going to camp.
