Do people think about death?
google

This semester, i am taking a religion class in which we talk about religion especially our beliefs. This week i have been assigned to write my own obituary, credo and my spiritual bibliography. I was shocked and a little nervous about writing my own obituary. It was scary to think about death, it took a long time to think about before i actually started to write it. I was thinking about things that i would write about then i remembered that the Professor said that to see it as a projection to the future; i thought about all the things that i want to do in my life.

Before this semester stated, i had to read a book for the class ( Tuesday's with Morrie) which is a book about Morrie dying and not being afraid of death. I thought this book was very inspiring and had a lot to offer. Some of the things that the author said made me realize that people have always been afraid of things that they do not know; but in the story Morrie was dealing with a ot of things but he never quit. He kept his strength and he knew he was going to die but that did not scare him. While thinking about my obituary, i thought about the story and how Morrie was not afraid of death. I decided to start writing it visualizing Morrie and how strong he was. When i was writing it, i felt so sad like i was reading what happened to me on a newspaper. After writing about my death conditions, i went to my achievements and things that i wanted people to remember me by. I visualize myself as a well-known nurse, singer and runner. I also talked about how i enjoyed my life, my family and my work environment.

'' After graduating from MCPHS, Kenia and her friends traveled the world. She went to France,Scotland,South Africa, Ireland, Brasil, India, etc. She was a mother of two children Arohi Sharma and Felicia Sharma. She lived in India for 15 years. She worked at the Grey Sloan Memorial Hospital for 60 years. She was a very famous singer who taught children from all over the world...'' After i wrote it, i realized that most of the things that i talked about are things that i want to do in the future. I was very proud of myself about a future and looking forward to success.

I did not want to think about death or some conditions that i might die in. However not thinking about it does not mean that it does not exist. After this assignment, i was more open to take initiatives and get myself out there by doings things that i want to do and not get anything or anyone get in the way. I think about what i want to do in the future and set goals for myself that will help me get to where i want to be.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.
