The vow I created on the car ride home still stands in effect to this date; to strive to my greatest potential, making the goal universal for every characteristic of my life.

Joe attended the University of Washington and thought it would be fun to row. The dedication of Joe and his fellow rowers was truly indescribable. The boys had to work for their success, it wasn’t just handed to them. Once they did reach success, such as winning the nationals, it wasn’t the end of the road, they had to keep pushing. According to Richard St. John “Success is a continuos journey.” (St. John 0:58) Joe and the boys that rowed with him didn’t always win, in fact there where many times when the boys got second, third, or even last. Even after winning nationals the boys still would sometimes fall behind. This is what made them push harder and harder to the point where they felt that they were gonna break. “Somewhere deep down inside, each of them grasped at shreds of will and strength they did not know they possessed.” (Brown 350) The last push of strength and will was the reason that they won the gold

Early last spring the mail about the annual Donner Lake triathlon. When I set the school I was fearless and excited lying in bed that night I knew the preparation would be both physically challenging and mentally drained but I had a month to prepare myself. And I was determined the week after school was out on May 21, 2016 my family and I went up to our family cabin which we affectionately call the lake house. Driving up to Donner Lake I was filled with excitement knowing that this summer I was going to prepare for a triathlon as we descended down from the top of the summit I could see the sun shining on the Bluewater making it sparkle and the beautiful tall mountains filled with cream for a good smelling Pinetree's as we approached our small little brown cozy Lakehouse.

In the picture I chose, I am doing one of my passions, kayaking. I have been involved in kayaking for 5 years. It is a large aspect of my life as I spend between nine to fifteen hours a week training and have traveled across Canada for various competitions. When I started kayaking, I went to a weeklong summer camp and fell in love with the sport. I then joined racing program, which lasted the entire summer.

No one’s exhilaration could have compared to mine when the Pride of Broken Arrow won grand nationals. I did not shed a tear over winning, but I had to remind myself to breathe multiple times. My whole body stood in awe at how much trouble I had gone through within the season in order to make it into that moment. I had trudged my way through painful practicing, broken bones, embarrassing performances, and a whole new start at the end of the season, and it had all led up to this. I silently thanked God, my family, my instructors, and everyone else who had not allowed me to bow out even when it all seemed

What does it mean to be religious? According to John Bowker (2006), it can mean so many things to different people (p.6). Therefore, John Bowker argues that being religious does not have a perfect explanation and it does not mean one simple thing. I totally agree with John.

In addition, religion is a key element in most human cultures. John and I believe that understanding the differences within a religion, you can cultivate many skills that will serve individuals well during their lifetime. For instance, I learned a lot about Christians and Muslins. I am not a very religious person, but I do believe there is a god. Within those two religions, a lot of debates occur about god. Christians believe that Jesus was the Son of God. Unlike Islam, Muslims do not believe that he was the Son of God. Islam suggests that Jesus was a prophet.
