Autobiography
October 3, 2012

I was with my cousin one day because my grandparents were at a dance for our church. They had to let me stay with someone so they chose my cousin Jason, the best cousin in the world. When my cousin and I were talking about the approaching summer and what we would do, Jason came over to me and said, ‘ I have a surprise for you about what we would do this summer .’

Right after he finished sentence he ran to the garage and pulled out the one object that changed all my video, hobby, and picture search ideas. For the next year all I watched, searched and did was a very long skateboard with big wheels, ( a.k.a ) the one and only longboard. Every day I would go outside and longboard, doing my tricks and slides. I would get hurt often and get scabs, scars, rips and tears on my clothing and skin, while also getting blisters, cut up brusied hands, but I did it for the love of longboarding.

Most people have their own hobbies like fishing, chess, basket ball, baseball or soccer, but I have my very own unique one. I like to make own longboards so I can put my own curve and flex. Every longboarder has their own preference.

The reason I make longboards is because when I was ten I wasn’t aloud to get one. My grandpa thought they were dangerous because I was riding a skate board one day and I fell while doing a trick and broke my foot. That happened on my grandpas birthday well, you are probably thinking that It was a broken foot, but it wasn’t. When I broke that foot I snapped and splintered three bones, also putting then out of alignment. There was a solution for this, but I didn’t like it. I had to have surgery to put the bones back so they would heel right. If it didn’t I would I would be crippled. I was out of school for three months and I lost a lot of education. Because of this horrible accident my grandpa never bought me a longboard, but he said I could make one. He did this because he thought that I

    In Michael Budde’s writing, Christian Formation in Global Culture Industries, Budde’s main argument is that technology influences the Christian community in preserving the maintenance of the Christian and in the production of more Christians. In Budde’s argument he states that global culture influences what a person does or will do, to become normal. According to Budde, the global culture takes the Christians differences from the “normal” people and positions those distinctions against them, so that the Christians want to be like everyone else and become “normal”. His argument mentions that what the Christian watches, will not affect the Christian, but only the number of hours watching will affect him or her. The number of hours will only affect…

    “Fix it.” I said really angrily he knew I was mad and told me there was no way to fix it the axle was bent and broken. At that point I was just in rage, I looked at him in the face and pointed at him saying “This is why you should have kept the kiddies rink so this wouldn’t happen, but now we are here because you wanted to make an extra buck. Don’t expect me to be coming back anytime soon.” And with that I left and went to bennies house. He was able to fix my skate temporarily till I could get some new ones ordered. I ended up buying a new pair of skates for $499 not including tax, and a sprained…

    The scientific method is a tool that enables a person to seek out new knowledge, or correct and integrate new knowledge. It is composed of eight individual steps: which start out with defining a question, gathering information and resources, form an explanatory hypothesis, test the hypothesis by performing an experiment and collecting data in a reproducible manner, analyze the data, interpret the data and draw conclusions that serve as a starting point for new hypothesis, publish results, and ends with a retest. The steps can be grouped into four different essential elements: operation, observation, model, and utility function.…

    On a Christian Living perspective, there are a few anthropolgies that could be a principle to the social problem. One is, Man is a person, on the saying that we are rational and conscious beings, we have free will and we have self-awareness. This anthropology shows that people who does drugs and such should be aware on how their actions could affect them. They should know that these bad actions leads to nothing good, in fact it can make your life worse. Yes we have free will but we should know how to use them right. Another is historical reality where in we exercise our freedom in order to improve ourselves since we do have a task given by God that we should do with God's grace. This anthropology teaches us that we have a chance to improve…

    Surfing was his life, he got his first surfboard when he was three and won the little league surfing championship at the age of six. “Do you want to enlist in the sport?” he asked. “Are you crazy, surfing isn’t even a real sport it’s so easy, I replied. He replied saying, “You know what, after you participate in the competition then come and tell me if you think it’s a real sport,” he said angrily and annoyed. “I’m sorry. I didn’t mean it like that,” I screamed running after him but, he ignored me and walked away. After feeling a little bad, I realized that surfing really means a lot to him, and maybe I should try it out before I judge the sport. I purchased a long board surf board from a shack on the beach which was a nice aqua color that matched with the ocean and enlisted my name in the…

    Longboarding

    • 273 Words
    • 2 Pages

    Young people around the country purchase longboards for purposes that symmetrical skateboards struggle to perform, such as transportation over long distances and achieving sharper turns. The shape of these boards, their elevation from the ground, and their rubber wheels allow much smoother, faster riding than the characteristics of normal skateboards. Not only is the act of riding a longboard much different than that of a common skateboard, but there is also an entirely different culture for the sport. Instead of starting from scratch, trying to learn tricks that may intimidate new skateboarders, all a budding longboarder needs to succeed is balance and a little confidence.…

    Faith Religion Theology has introduced us to some of the many different religions in our world and it has shown us the relationship between faith, religion, theology, and spirituality. Just a few of the things that we learned about for each of the religions is their ultimate reality, the symbols used, and their religious practices. By doing this we can compare and contrast all the religions we learned about. Two of the religions that we can compare and contrast are Christianity and Judaism. They are very similar and different at the same time, not only in what they believe or who they believe in but also in other ways like how they practice their beliefs.…

Part one will be about Buddhism and part two will compare Buddhism and the Biblical worldview. The questions to be answered are:…

    Skateboarding was the first board sport to come into my life and I must give it the most credit for molding me into the boy I am today. It is not the board or the tricks, but the whole attitude that comes with it: The adrenaline pumping through your body as you outrun some overweight police officers and the excitement of learning something new every day. The best thing, I think skateboarding gave me was friendships; and although I am not good friends with some of the people I used to skate with, I have been able to build some wonderful friendships that I love and consider my family. Snowboarding has done good things for me as well, even though I have only been practicing it a year. I got into snowboarding when I came to the US. I was not able to practice it in my country because we do not have a winter season. Even though I hate to say this, I think snowboarding is more fun than skateboarding.…

    Followers of Jesus, a Jewish man, started a new religion, Christianity. Christianity started to grow during the Pax Romana, a period of peace in Rome. The Pax Romana lasted from 27 B.C.E to 180 C.E. and during it government improved, literature prospered, engineering improved, and laws formed. The peace during the Pax Romana provided a time for Christianity to rise. Christianity spread rapidly and successfully in the 1st through 3rd centuries because it appealed to many people, missionaries could easily travel and spread the message, and because of the events taking place in Rome.…

    A Christian Worldview

    • 6 Pages

    “Every story is informed by a worldview” (Brian Godawa). A worldview is basically how one sees the world based on their own perceptive. However, a biblical worldview is not based upon any beliefs and values. A biblical worldview is defined as a framework of ideas that are in the scripture. Growing up, I never thought about my worldviews having to do with being a Christian. To be honest, I chose my views on the world based on what is happening around me. My parents, family, friends, and experiences I have encountered throughout my life. Keith Druly defined a worldview as “a particular bias in our presuppositions that influences how you look at the world and what we see or expect to see” (Druly). I can agree that I am biased when it comes…

    Christian Worldview

    Whenever there is dialog about the significant of evolving a Christian worldview perspective, it usually necessitates persuasive discussion opposing the doctrines of the world or the industry and manufacturing. A Christian Worldview is much more than just having intellectual responses to problems. It alludes to flowing biblical principles and concepts in the personal practical domains of everyday life. As Christian administrators, causation must be taken because the infectious views by the secular worldviews can impact them in their beliefs and in their practices. For example, a non-profit or for profit healthcare organization may be biblical in its message or appearance, but fail to be biblical in its methodology. As Christian administrators,…

    To have a worldview is to understand oneself and to understand how to live. There are several different world views. Some might have similar core standards, but all vary. Why is that? Why are there disagreements that cause conflict between people? Why can we not all know what is true and come into agreement? I believe the answer is sin. I come from a Christian Theistic background. Throughout this semester the one worldview we discussed that shocked me the most was Nihilism. It is the complete opposite of Christian Theism. There is hope in knowing Jesus and there is no hope in Nihilism.…
