the want to succeed, and the need to push on, even when life is hard on us.
What affects the successfulness of a person and how does that account for people around them? There are two different ideas that could determine this being one’s intrinsic interactions with their genetic make up and who they are personally, nature, and one’s extrinsic interactions with their environments and experiences with people around them, nurture. The Other Wes Moore provides multiple outlooks on these interactions and how they affect the author Wes Moore as well as his counterpart sharing the same name. One can read the book and determine the most key factor to one or both character’s success. Similar factors that can play in the division of intrinsic and extrinsic…
The Bondage Breaker written by Neil T. Anderson is about reaching spiritual freedom by overcoming negative thoughts, irrational feelings, and habitual sins. Each section allows the reader to start their journey towards freedom through the sins that are covering their lives. Many people have faulty perceptions of bondage and what keeps Christians in that bondage. Anderson (2007) takes the stand on having integration of psychology and spirituality. “There is no inner conflict which is not psychological, because there is never a time when your mind, emotions, and will are not involved” (Anderson, 2000, p. 21). One of the steps Anderson discusses is knowing that a person has the right to be free. Changing your emotions and thoughts to the truth of God is needed in order to break the bondage of sin. A person should know that they are a child of God and a friend of Christ (Anderson, 2000). He will allow us to break through if we can win the battle of our mind from Satan by focusing on Romans 12:1-2, which states, “do not conform to the pattern of this world, but be transformed by the renewing of your mind.” Renewing your mind and relying on God can be done through continuous prayer. “Prayer is the primary weapon in combating spiritual blindness” (Anderson, 2000, p. 103).…

“The chilling truth is that his story could have been mine. The tragedy is that my story could have been his.” This is how author Wes Moore describes the parallel life that he led with the other Wes Moore. I think that his statement is eerily accurate when you break it apart and dive into the crazy parallel lives that these two men led. “The chilling truth is that his story could have been mine.” The other Wes Moore grew up in practically the same neighborhood as the author Wes Moore… yet their lives ended up so different. Both Moores lived in Baltimore, in neighborhoods with lower income, and a large drug influence. From a young age the other Wes Moore was exposed to the “drug game,” with his older brother being majorly involved in the local…

Former successful Olympian, Gail Devers, once said “Understand to achieve anything requires faith and belief in yourself, vision, hard work, determination, and dedication” (Gail Devers, Brainy Quotes). Dever’s words resonate as she inspires those who usually let obstacles keep them from chasing their dreams. As children with an overactive imagination, nothing seems out of reach. Somehow, as we grow older, we begin to notice our strengths and weaknesses and we end up letting go of our old dreams and moving on. Growing up, I fanaticized over what I would do as an adult. Those fantasies ranged from a world-famous pop star to President of the United States. Through all those times of make-believe speeches and singing into a hairbrush, one of my…

My passion for pursuing a career as a Rheumatologist. I decided that I wanted to be a Rheumatologist when I was a freshman in high school. It wasn’t because it’s a career not many would choose, so most likely there will be an open position for it, it was because of a traumatic event that occurred during my freshman year. 3 weeks before taking my finals for the first time in high school I developed knee pain. It was excruciating pain, for people, it took them 10 seconds to go down the stairs, while for me, it took 5 minutes. If I had to bend my knee, I would cry because I could not bear the pain. After 3 weeks of enduring unbearable pain, I went to the hospital and the doctors did surgery to flush out inflammation in my knee and later came to…
