ESSAY NO.1 (WHAT DOES MEANT LENT TO ME)

Lent is a significant period in the Christian calendar that holds deep spiritual meaning for believers around the world. It is a time of reflection, repentance, and preparation leading up to Easter, the most important festival in the Christian faith. Lent typically lasts for 40 days, representing the 40 days that Jesus spent fasting in the wilderness before beginning his public ministry.

For me, Lent is a time of introspection and renewal. It is a season where I focus on my relationship with God, examine my life, and seek to grow spiritually. Lent encourages me to pause, reflect on my actions, and make changes that align with my faith and values. It is a time to let go of distractions, practice self-discipline, and draw closer to God through prayer, fasting, and acts of service.

During Lent, I often engage in practices that help me deepen my spiritual connection. This may include attending church services more frequently, participating in prayer groups, reading the Bible daily, and meditating on the life and teachings of Jesus. Fasting is also a common practice during Lent, where individuals give up certain foods or habits as a way to focus on spiritual matters and demonstrate self-control.

Moreover, Lent is a time of preparation for the celebration of Easter, the resurrection of Jesus Christ. By journeying through Lent, I am reminded of the sacrifice and love of Christ, culminating in the joyous celebration of his victory over sin and death on Easter Sunday. This period of reflection and anticipation enriches my faith and helps me appreciate the significance of Easter in a deeper way.

In essence, Lent is a sacred and transformative season for me. It is a time to slow down, reflect on my faith journey, and recommit myself to living a life that reflects the teachings of Jesus. Through prayer, fasting, and acts of service, Lent provides me with an opportunity to grow spiritually, deepen my relationship with God, and prepare my heart to celebrate the resurrection of Christ on Easter.

ESSAY NO.2 (WHY WILL I/WILL I NOT PERSUE COLLEGE)

I will pursue my college or not?It's one of the biggest questions for myself first of all, I don't know if I can graduate because of the possibility that my grades might just fail and I also have a lot of subject backload, sometimes I just ask myself if I will graduate? but I always pray to the Lord that I can pass, I hope that I can finish my senior high school , but I'm literally a senior in my school because I've been here for so long, almost 5 years. that's why I always wish I could graduate, and I wish I could continue my college education, my dream is also to graduate and help my family, but I also have a financial problem, there is a possibility that no one will send me to school, because the situation in our family is broken, I can do maybe work and save for my studies. so even though my situation is like this, I still want to pursue my college education, I want to graduate for my future and for my family, so I will continue my studies even if it is difficult , always against the challenges of life. so I will persue my college life and the only thing I want to take is criminology, my dream is to become a police officer , that's why I hope I can graduate, I don't want to back again to the situation become a failure again.

A Happy Day Turned Bad

•INTRODUCTION

  It was a beautiful day.  The sun cast it’s radiant rays upon a little small village in China.  Little dust of ivory clouds navigated itself around the sky.  On that day a naive girl of four years-old sat in her concise house of only one room., no bigger than a mini garage.An average size twin bed faced the wall, a bed that three people shared every night.  A cheap old fashioned stove adjacent to the bed, and a cabinet where three utensils, three plates, and three pairs of clothes lay. I sat on the cold stone floor wearing my pink little summer dress while playing with my rusty train set.  All days were the same for me.  My parents both worked from when the sun rose to when the sun set, only coming home to make dinner.  Life for me was quite lonely.  I ran free through the village like a wild child, for no one cared.  I became independent the day I could walk.

•SUMMARY

As I sat there, playing, the door suddenly banged open. My mom stood there anxiously with fear in her chocolaty eyes.   I knew something tragic had occurred for she never came home early.  She grabbed my forearms and pulled me up with a jolt and snatched a plastic bag from the corner and stuffed what little clothes and toys I had in it.  My own brown eyes were filled with tears, but I didn’t let them fall.  She dragged me along as she moved and on her way out, she shut the door with a thunderous bang.  Who would have thought that that was the last day I would ever see that little one room garage house again.

•EVALUATION

We got on a crowded blue bus.  There was the terrible smell of cigarette, body odor, and car gas.  I clung to my mother’s pant leg for I didn’t want to be separated from her.  I buried my face into her pant leg, not wanting to draw attentions to myself.  My mom never looked at me through this whole trip.  

•CONCLUSION

Four years later, they had found an American family that wanted me.  This family gave me a name; Alana.  Maybe I don’t know why my biological family gave me away, but I do know that some where in their heart, they wonder the same thing. I realized by then that even though I had lost my first family, another family was waiting. Everything occurred for a reason.
