My favorite Bible verse is Philippians 4:13 which says, "For I can do everything through Christ, who gives me strength." When I think of this verse, I have a sense of hope that I can do what I want to accomplish academically, athletically, and spiritually. When I run a cross country race, I use this verse as motivation to help me to run all three miles and finish the race. For other people, it might be to do well on that test or to make the winning goal but whatever it is, it gives a sense of hope.

Symbolism in The Pearl Prezi

My friend Gavin and I have created a Prezi based on symbolism from The Pearl. First, we created our Prezi by choosing a template that looked perfect for our presentation. Then, we gave an example of a symbol and gave three symbols we found in the book. One thing I have learned from the summer reading assignment is how much symbolism there is in books and that it goes much deeper than what you see on the surface.

My Three Goals for My Freshman School Year

It is the beginning of my freshman year and I would like to share some of the goals I have this school year. Academically, one of my main goals is finish this year with an A in English class. I have never been really good at English being a Math type of person but to have an A in English at the end of the year would be really good for me. Socially, one of my goals would be to make more friends. I already have some good friends I hang out with but it is always good to have more friends. Lastly, my spiritual goal for this year is to become closer with God. I feel like I have recently been drifting away from God and I want to tighten the relationship I have with him.
