To live with God forever
A synthesis paper of FFP
I. Short Introduction
Our lives have been a spontaneity predicament to somewhere pessimistically nowhere. I have been wandering and wondering for years and decades of what life has to offer and what it has brought upon me. I think I am legally old enough to predict life isn’t going to be an easy ride. Many things have changed, and will change. Little things will remain and stay. I wonder what are the things that needed to stay and what are the things that has to be left behind or omit. Omitting something may be good or bad, just as the same as remembering. Why do I need to remember and why do I have to forget? Is it really forgetting or might I say forgiving? What are the purpose of all these? What is the purpose of life?
II. A Series of Realizations (Short content)
The Ignatian principles and values that were in the First year Formation Program (FFP) book have listed all the ingredients that are needed on the questions I had in mind. It made me realized what indifference means in another perspective, that it means being able to see what is right and good, and choose one’s will in accordance to God’s. There are many Ignatian values written that are of great meaning and is very significant in my life. “Love is expressed more in deeds than in words,” is one of them. It doesn’t necessarily apply to a particular individual but rather to the heart of many that I have touched and I can touch. It is inspiring to do more, to say more, to love more, and to be more that I am for others! I remember what one instructor told me: these Ignatian values are interrelated with each other. Praise that I realized how they are the foundation of Ignatius’

    All of us have a lot of questions, and we don’t have the answers to those questions; that can really discourage us. I was in college and that’s how I felt. Consequently, that led to many dismal thoughts, because I assumed that I didn’t serve a purpose. One event in particular gave me an idea, that I could begin the cycle of purpose for myself. Once, I was nonchalantly strolling to my car from class, when I spotted an anomaly in the distance. My car had been burglarized, which made me a mix of complicated emotions. I sprinted to my car, hopefully nothing had been taken. Although, the doors were wide open, only one thing was stolen; my car radio. “Why me,” I screamed at the…

    It is believed everyone on Earth are here for a reason. We live, share and affect others around us in some way at a point in time. Certain people we meet are placed on our path for a specific purpose which we find out at a later time. Some people in life feel a sense of unfulfillment and resentment which leads to unhappiness. Many people believe every life intertwines with one another and certain people are destined to be part of one's journey to help teach lessons or to help establish our character by the decisions we make for our selves and others. The key to inner peace and happiness is to let go of any burdens in your heart. Obstacles in life are a way to challenge people for them to gain. The subject of destiny and purpose of life is found in many contexts. This idea is focused in the novel The Five…

    “Slaveship,” by Lucille Clifton, is a free verse poem from the perspective of slaves that the white men capture and trade in the slave trade, forcing them to travel on the Middle Passage. Ironically, the ships bear the names of religious symbols and figures such as Jesus, Angel of God, and Grace of God (lines 14-15) even though the act of slavery is one of the most sinful systems in the eyes of these slaves and in the eyes of all decent human beings.…

    First Poem for You

    • 793 Words
    • 4 Pages

    The Shakespearean sonnet “First Poem for You” has an iambic pentameter and consistent rhyme scheme. Every other line represents a true rhyme – the final accented vowels and all succeeding consonants or syllables are identical. For example the words “complete” and “neat” (Addonizio 1, 3). Every line of the poem has a basic stressed and unstressed syllable format, except the last line. The extension of the last line “but touch them, trying” implements a longer stress (14). I believe this has definite meaning to the structure of the poem. In addition, the final verse of the poem is the longest line. In relation to the word “trying”, I believe that the longer stress and length in the final line of the poem emphasizes the woman continuing to mend the relationship with her boyfriend. The theme of the poem is about love and desire, a woman who cares for her boyfriend seeks to mend the brokenness in their relationship.…

    The American Dream, what is it? Is it realistic? Can everyone attain it? These are some questions that depending on your culture and ethnicity could be answered differently. Imagine being in a culture where the American dream was not attainable due to the color of your skin or the way you looked. Many Americans feel that the American dream is that of money, houses, and cars. For many it is kindness, family and love. Even if your dream is merely to be comfortable with a roof over your head and food on the table, other people’s racism, anger and hatred can stop even the simplest of American dreams.…

    The writer, Phillis Wheatley, uses many descriptive details about the natural world in her poem. She compares the sun setting and the new evening with many rural details. For example, in line two, she says: "The pealing thunder shook the heav'nly plain;" She is referring to the empty plains of a rural area. I also wondered how the poem would sound if she chose to praise the evening using details of an urban setting.…

    I think the younger you are, the more dramatically different you are from each year to the next. Infancy through young adulthood holds so many milestones and life-changing events. Those are the years when you can really tell how a person has changed since the year before. I think the difference between age 1 and 2, 12 and 13, 19 and 20, etc, is so much greater than 34 and 35, 46 and 47, 80 and 81, etc. For me, the past 5 years have been from ages 37 to 42. If you had asked me what the meaning of life was at a younger age, I probably could not have told you. I still can not probably tell you the answer to that question. Can anyone truly answer that question? Everyone has a different meaning to life that is their very own. As a teenage, like most teenagers, I thought I knew it all and had control of my life and it's direction, and found out I was wrong. I had made some mistakes on my life journey but I had learned from them. I became a mother at the young age of 18 which put my life in a whole new direction. Did I lose my youth? Yes. Would I have changed it? No. I ended up having three children by the time I was 23. That was the time when I thought my life had true meaning. I had three little human beings that depended on me for everything. Did I make mistakes along the way? Yes, what young mother doesn't? As they grew, I grew with them. At the age of 32 I went down the wrong path of life for awhile and ended up in prison over drugs. I had never in a million years thought that I would end up there. I guess after losing both of my parents with in a year and a half in my late 20's, that put me over the edge. I got involved with the wrong people and started down a path of destruction. After losing everything, including my freedom, it was time to make a change. I now sit here 10 years later and look back…

    In Osoanon Nimuss's poem, "Absolutely Nothing", the speaker illustrates the constant progression of a child's youthful optimism from a beaming blaze to a faded ember ("Innocence Vs. Maturity," 2010) Most people who have read the book the Perks of Being a Wallflower may recall the poem within it entitled Absolutely Nothing by Osoanon Nimuss. The title was not given directly, but from reading the poem, one can imply that “Absolutely Nothing” is indeed its title. The poem attracts its reader’s attention because it reveals truths about life that people usually don’t admit to themselves. It may seem disturbing or eerie, but it speaks of reality, of things happening each day to not just one person. Seeing such realities around him may have influenced Nimuss in creating such a poem.…

    This is my favourite poem as it describes hope by using a powerful array of metaphors to enhance its effect. While it is true that many people all over the world live in extremely challenging and life threatening situations, leading hard lives in appalling conditions. What keeps people going in such circumstances is the glimmer of hope that things can change. This is one thought that came to mind when first reading the poem and this is what attracted me to it and as it relates to any hopeless situations it really does apply to all aspects of life.…
