Kayla Annerino Final Exam 12/9/13 C.S. Lewis once said‚ “I believe in Christianity as I believe that the sun has risen not only because I see it‚ but because by it I see everything else.” I think this is an extremely insightful quote to live by‚ especially if you are of the Catholic or Christian faith.

Novelist Chimamanda Adichie’s speech gave me a new view of stereotypes and how they affect everyone in some way or another. I was already aware of stereotypes negative effects on people but I never thought about it in depth from an international point of view.

I believe that with faith anything is possible. As a child I grew up in a Christian house hold.
