Writting assignment: My Three LEAST Favorite Words.

Now, onto the words I don’t like.  One that I know I don’t like is selfish.  To make this easy here is the definition “devoted to or caring only for oneself; concerned primarily with one's own interests, benefits, welfare, regardless of others.”  Being selfish is never a good thing.  In James 3:16 the bible states “For where you have envy and selfish ambition, there you find disorder and every evil practice.”  We were born with evil in our hearts including the trait of selfishness, so we all have to work on our motivations and fight against our sinful nature.
             
“You can’t do anything right!”  Now, when someone tells me that I can’t do something this makes me mad.  Maybe it’s because of me having a stubborn attitude, or just cause I like to challenge that person to prove them wrong.  But also, can’t is a very discouraging word.  I like things that are uplifting and put me into a good mood, not something that’s going to ruin my day.  This is why can’t is another one of my least favorite words.   
             
Now, my last word is pretty normal and understandable, fake.  Now when this word comes to mind I think of “somebody or something not genuine.”  Many things and people are fake.  In today’s society people like to try to be someone their not.  A lot of high schools have this issue.  Kids try to be someone their not to either fit in with a group of people or be accepted. From your clothes to your hair, a lot of people will judge you. If being phony is what it takes to not be judged, many times they choose that.  This nation needs more people who will stand up and be themselves to go against the flow.

Writting assignment: Three of my Favorite words.

First I will start off with my three favorite words.  I would like to say that beautiful is one of my favorites.  Although I don’t use it very often, I still love this word.  I guess one reason would be because God made everything and everyone beautiful.  The sun, stars, moon, and trees. But, the only thing he made in his image was us human beings.  We were made out of dust, Him breathing life into us.  This is just one of the many reasons why beautiful is one of my favorite words.

My second word would have to be tenacity, or tenacious. Tenacious means “Not easily dispelled or discouraged; persisting in existence or in a course of action.”  I like this word because it means never give up.  I think this should always be your mindset once you are attempting something new, or old.  I know that when I start learning something new I never give up.  I guess that’s where learning to teach myself how to ride a bike, tie my shoe laces, teaching myself piano and guitar comes from. That, or being stubborn. 

Now, my last word might be surprising but hopefully you will understand. Sarcasm. Yep, this is one of my favorites. I guess the reason why it’s my favorite is because I like to think I speak sarcasm fluently.  You can ask my family and friends but I’m sure they will tell you the same thing, I’m very sarcastic. Now, you might think this is a bad thing, and I know it can be, but my family is very sarcastic. So I guess I got it from them.  As I like to say “Thank you Captain Obvious.” My brother now replies, “Your welcome Sergeant Sarcasm.”
