I believe the findings of modern science have not ruled out the possibility of miracles so it would be absurd to dismiss their possibility. There are many definitions of the term ‘miracle’‚ the most common being ‘an event caused by God’. However‚ David Hume defines a miracle as a ‘violation of the laws of nature’.

The classroom reminds you of a small prison with windows‚ and the instructor as the warden.

Life is what you and you alone make of it! What is your view? I believe that we can make our lives into what we want them to become if we have enough drive and reserve to achieve our goals. Our lives are our own‚ waiting for us to take them and mold them into exactly what we want. However‚ our lives are very much influenced‚ affected‚ and controlled by the people around us. Friends‚ parents‚ society‚ and even ourselves‚ can inhibit our hopes and dreams just as much as they can help us achieve
