Personal Statement On 'The Challenge' By Cameron Lopez
Faith Statement: The Challenge
Good morning, my name is Cameron Lopez. I have been presented with a challenge. A god given challenge. I have been presented with the challenge of learning how to adapt to life without an arm. I am honored that god has chosen me, of all people, me to take on the challenge. Throughout this challenge/battle or whatever you want to call it, I have learned how to live my life as an “abnormal” person. I’ve had to learn how to get on through my life. Learning everyday things can be a challenge. I honestly just learned how to tie my shoes. Of all things, that. But god hasn’t just helped me learn things; he has helped me cope with bullies and people who think they are better than everyone else. I’ve learned in my Sunday
school classes and in life that you need to treat others the way you want to be treated and to be the better person. Sometimes, I can get really angry with this. God sometimes puts me to the limit and I usually don’t know how to do the task at hand. Most of the time I keep trying but other times, I just give up and wish I was normal. With this challenge, comes a great deal of sadness, anger, hurt, but also a lot joy and happiness. When the bullies come around, they just beat on you mentally, physically, and verbally. A lot of the times I wish I could be a normal person. But a lot of the times I get a lot of happiness and laughter out of this. I want to teach people what it is like to be like me. Yong children come up and touch it, and my first reflex is to pull away I need to learn to accept that and to teach them. I love the way I am and I am honored to be a part of God’s challenge. From the day I was born and until the day I die my mom would always say… “he’ll be ok” and from that day on I say “Challenge Accepted”
Thank You.
