1) I really can't think of any sort of meaningful literacy event that has occurred other then one that happened at the end of my eighth grade year. I was playing spring travel soccer and in a game I had gotten injured. At the time it was just said to be a bad sprained ankle according to the hospital. But that soon turned out to not be the case when after 3 months I still could not run on my foot. When i was taken to a specialist he had told me from scans that i had torn just about every tendon in my ankle along with several fractures and bruising along my foot and ankle. So with that I was out for 9 months in an air cast and that's not including the months of physical therapy. This was especially bad for the fact that I had missed a very important year of freshman soccer along with snowboarding that winter. The fact that this long of an injury had happened I had to make the decision to stop soccer due to possible injuries that would keep me out of snowboarding and track if this would happen again. This was a hard decision to make since my dad had played soccer my entire life. I'm glad I made this decision for the fact that I could focus on track basically year round and gave me motivation to do my best in track since it was my last competition sport to compete in. The injury taught me that I shouldn't overload myself going from sport to sport each season and that I needed to give up one of the sports to give my self sometime in the year to rest.
2) Issues of Evaluation:
All it is are questions that have to deal with what is right or wrong, such as moral questions, and what is good and bad, ineffective or effective, or desirable or undesirable. I interpret issues of evaluation as more just personal preference. Like whether or not you think living in Ohio or California would be better suited for how you want to live.
3) I'm not into discussing political issues whatsoever for the fact that it ruins relationships and i'm not informed enough to talk about it. But one that I always enjoy listening to how people feel is the gay marriage subject. I hear this discussion everywhere (Church, School, Work, etc.) and I this subject gets ruthless for the fact that people aren't afraid to just say they straight up dislike gay people. Everyone has their reason for or against it whether it be homophobia, religious aspects, or equal rights. I personally as a straight Catholic don't exactly see the problem with letting people do their own thing, if they are into that thing why not let them be happy? It isn't like they are forcing it onto us, if it were to pass it wouldn't even bother you unless you are gay and in that case it's good for you. I just can't seem to find where this issue passing would hurt anybody.
The kind of air cast that I hobbled around in for nine months
Wow I can't believe that you went that long with foot problems. I dropped a tv on my foot once and that was the extent of my foot injuries so I couldn't imagine what that would be like. I too was raised Catholic and went to Catholic school for nine years. I believe in marriage equality as well. I try not to bash people that don't believe the same way that I do but I don't like it when the people who don't believe in it begin to call gay people names and say that they are sinners. I look at those people and think aren't we all suppose to be brothers and sisters? Especially if they were raised in a Christian family, where do they get off judging and condemning others?
ReplyDeleteI agree with your stance on gay marriage and how ridiculous it is that people would be against something that doesn't have any actual impact on their lives whatsoever. There is no such consequences of letting same-sex marriage becoming an actual thing, yet they have this drive to prevent it from being legal even though, win or lose, they'll still be living in the same world.
