We Are All The Same
By Cameron Gray
Are we really all that different. Look around, look at the person to your left and think, are we all really that different? Now look to the person on your right and think, does he or she have hopes and dreams for the future and you answer that question. I know that you know the answer to it. The answer is yes. Everybody dreams and hopes for things, everyone has goals they want to achieve. Now look to the person in front of you and think, does he or she emotions? You should have answered yes. Now for the person behind you, I want you to ask yourself, are they created in God's image. You know the answer to that question as well.
Hope, hope is something everybody has. Hope is a feeling of expectation or desire for something in particular to happen. I have felt hope lots of times. When I was trying out for representative soccer I hoped that I would make the team but, it doesn't always mean you can do everything. I hoped that I would get a scholarship to Newington and I'm still waiting for the results. I've also hoped for small things like being tall enough to go on the "Wild Mouse" at Luna Park. "A man begins to die when he ceases to expect anything for tomorrow"
~Abraham Miller
Right now I am frustrated because I have to write this essay, but that just goes to show everybody has emotions, I do, I know you do, I know everybody has emotions. When I play soccer I am happy or when I have a swim on a hot day I am happy. Sometimes I am frustrated when my brother annoys me or when I have to write essays. Everyday I have different emotions and so do you.

Look out the window, look outside everything and everyone around you is created in God's image. Everybody in this world was made perfect, God made them who he wanted them to be. God made you to use your talents and use them well whatever they may be.
"God made you a great person and that is what you are."

Everybody dreams. Everybody has emotions. Everybody is made in God's image. These are the three most important things that make everyone in the world the same on the inside.
