Stand Up for Who You Are!

I have experienced many situations in which I have had to stake a stand. Among these was one in particular that I'll never forget. It was a hot day, about 92 degrees, and my stomach was wanting some enchiladas. I went home and my mom was cooking a bean burrito so right away instead of eating this piece of overly cooked frijoles I told her," Mom I believe that me and my fellow siblings would like to eat some delicious spicy enchiladas." Right away she responded to a no so I stood up for what I thought was right and I made myself and my siblings some enchiladas. Of course it may sound a bit whimsical but a man has have to have his enchiladas once in a while, well I do apparently. But what I'm trying to tell you is that no matter if it's about religion, opinions, or even a delicious Mexican food always know that standing up for what you believe in can make a big difference, for example in my case I got a delightful meal that even my mom wanted afterwards.

If you don't often step in and make your point about things your bright ideas might never be adopted to make changes in the world. I read about Gandhi who was the man of peace, from which did not want war and even though they got ambushed and attacked by the rivalry they won the Battle! His people and him stood up for what they believed in which was world peace and afterwards the outcome became positive. Therefore in order to be successful in life you have to step up in what you believe in. Overall this concept was very fascinating and I can't wait to read "Flowers for Algernon".
