Pride and Glory

Passion. Courage. Conviction (not the word that means convicted of a crime). These words are largely subjective--which means everybody's definition will be based on their own experiences and personalities. That said,  I would like you to look them up before you answer this week's blog question. Once you do that, consider the following:

1) What is it in your own life, this life that you have been given, that you would die for?

2)  What is your passion; what gives you courage; about what do you hold an unshakeable conviction?

 Once you answer those questions, go back to the original--what would you die for? Do your answers to the second set of questions fall in line with the first?

  1. If someone asked me if I would die for my parents or my boyfriend I would hate to say no cause they have done so much for me. But the more I think about it…I’m going to end my life so that someone else can finish theirs. I don’t know I would honestly say I would die for. I love my parents and my sister, and my friends, and my boyfriend but I’m not ready to end my life for someone else. If I had children I’m pretty sure that would be my answer because that’s a kind of love no one will ever understand until there in that point in life. I’ve had close friends in my life lose their life from breast cancer and that has a big impact in my life. The thing that I could die for in this life would be a cure for breast cancer. It’s a horrible thing and I’ve seen many girls close to me like sister lose their moms because of this nasty problem. If it meant for me to die, to find the cure then that’s the one thing I would truly be okay with losing my life to. My passion is to do makeup and hair, when I get to do mine or do my make up and go out it makes me so happy. I lose all my problems pretty much and it makes just feel like I want to do this for the rest of my life. My sister is the one to get my head straight if I ever think twice about something that’s stupid she’s the one to make me realize I shouldn’t be worrying about it. I get my courage from her and if it wasn’t for her then I wouldn’t be as strong as I am. I cannot think of an unshakeable conviction. They don’t really go along with my first answers because what I would die for is different then what I want to do with the rest of my life.

  2. My passion, a strong feeling for someone or something, my writing. I have a lot of passion for what i write for myself or for a special person. When i just sit down, alone and throw all my thoughts and feelings in my writing and it gives me that one opportunity to be myself, to be Katherine. My passion is thrown into every word i wrote as well as the space in between. The one thing that always gave me courage was my fear. Having a fear just mad me have courage to want to face it and get rid of it. I don't know what it is but everytime i get scared then something in my gut just tells me to face it. I have a very strong unshakeable conviction that there is always someone i can go to whenever im upset, mad, or just simply in need of someone. I know i have this one person there to help me make decisions and to care for me and support me. The one thing that i would die for is the person that i have my most unshakeable conviction that he will be there through thick and thin. I would die just to be with him and have him at my side and with me.

  3. One thing I would die for is my family. My family has always been there for me and has given me so much that id do anything for the. Mainly my mom and dad. But I don’t think I would die for my mom. My mom is the person I love the most and even threw I would do anything for her she would be devastated if something like me passing away for her happened. Anyone else in my family I would die for even though I know they would be devastated also no one would be more upset then my mom. When I grow up and start a family I also would die for my children. No matter what the circumstances are my children will mean the world to me and I am going to be willing to do anything for them. The people that give me courage also is my family and miss Bunje . My family always tells me I can be whatever I want to be and makes me feel like I can do anything And that I shouldn’t be scared of taking chances. Family for me is what keeps me going. Without my family I don’t know were I would be right now. My passion is football. I’m not the best football player but I just love the game. I have a strong passion for it. I watch it 24/7. I’ve played it for ten years of my life and even though I wont be going to some fancy college to play football I follow football religiously. I plan on keeping in touch with all my friends that are going college to play football just to see how different it is and what’s it like and mainly how they are doing there. Football to me is just the greatest sport to play and watch. It is and always will be something I have a very strong passion for.

  4. The person I would die for would be for my kid. I don’t have a kid right now but if I did I would die for him or her. Just for the simple fact that god blessed me with a kid that I could have. One day I’m willing to have a kid. Having something special coming from you and the person you love is amazing. But for now the only people I would die for is my family. My family has been there since day 1 with me. If it wasn’t for them I wouldn’t be where I’m at right now. That means I wouldn’t have no job, car, and a place to live. I’m glad my parents didn’t put me up for adoption. Even though my parents didn’t have much, they still kept me. There’s nothing wrong adopting a kid just saying. I just hope for the best for kids that are in the foster homes. I’m sure they will find better parents that could treat them and give them the life they wanted.

  5. Dying for something is a big deal. There are very few things worth dying for in my life, except certain people that I’m close to. I think I can say I would die for my sisters, depending if we are on good terms of course. But no I do think I would and there’s possibly another but I’m still not sure about that. As for my passion, I’m not really certain what it is exactly. I never really get passionate about much. Though I can say that I have passion for my old girl, and she’s probably the only one who will get that from me. For some reason I’m always willing to do anything for her even if I can’t stand her. As far as conviction, I do hold that too many things. I will always believe in what I think is right. If I go through something, I’ll take what I’ve learned for the next time. I have convictions for people I’m close to also. I’m always willing to make things better, because I know it’s the right thing. My two answers are similar in one way, and that’s mainly just about what I’m passionate for.

  6. This is a tough question to answer. When talking about ending my life for somebody or something, it's a difficult thought to conceive. I was given life to live for myself, not somebody else's. I don't feel obligated to save someone in danger. Since the beginning of mankind, it's survival of the fittest. The great empires didn't thrive from sacrificing for others. They took charge, defeated the weak to become the strongest. The spartans would kill weak babies and sick people to have the best warriors. My idea is don't fall from trying to stop others from falling. I'm saving my skin before anybody. My passion in life is hunting and working out. The effects of both are awesome and powerful feelings. There's nothing like hunting deer and getting a good lift in. As for courage, lifting weights and working out gives me courage. I have a boost of confidence and a sense of accomplishment. The adrenaline and endorphins give me a rush of feeling good and satisfaction. I hold a strong conviction with the lord. God is the almighty and I have full faith in him. Nothing could ever shake my religion. I believe in God and that's all I have to say.

  7. What would I die for...such a difficult question, I must say. I would die for the ones I love, such as family, and a select few close friends. I feel that if a bullet came hurling straight towards my loved one, I would jump right at it, especially my little brother Dimas. Dimas is only six (almost seven) and he has so much life to live, anyone young, I would most definitely take a bullet for, they have so much left to live for. In a sense, I suppose I would die for my dream of owning a daycare. When I say this I mean I will try my hardest to accomplish my goals, you know what I mean? I would work my hardest, giving all that I have, to accomplish my dream, yea, I think that explains it well. I'm passionate about accomplishing my dreams, taking care of children, writing and singing are all things I am very passionate about. Being the best I can be in all that I do, and being the best friend and daughter I can be is something I am passionate about as well. Strength, dedication, confidence and the people around me give me courage. Day in and day out they tell me I can do anything I set my mind to. I give myself the strength to do what would be the inevitable to me; I never let myself give up without a fight. My conviction is you can do anything you set your mind to, there is no can't in my dictionary. Anyone, with the right people around, and the drive to do well, can do anything. That is my conviction pretty much. If you really want something, you will go to the ends of the Earth just to get it, if you don't try, then, you really don't care. I believe in the quote "shoot for the moon, because even if you miss, you will still land among the stars"; I plan to reach the moon.

  8. I have been put in several life or death situations but have always managed to come out victorious. If someone were to ask me if I would die for a cause or a person I would have to say yes. I don't mean that I would want to die for any person other than those I love. I would die for a cause if I feel that it is important. If I were as significant as Che Guevara as he was in his cause. True he may not have changed anything great, but he tried and died for his freedom which I would gladly do if something meant that much to me. My passion is to help people, I've been considering becoming a male nurse to help save lives. What gives me courage is knowing that I can actually make a difference in people's lives. To be able to do something that many others aren't able or refuse to do helps fuel me to excel in my passion. Therefore my cause is my weakness because I am a rebel without one.

  9. There are very few things I would die for the only things I would die for is my Brother my Mother and my Pride meaning that if anyone ever tried to harm any of those things I would rather take their life or get mine taken in the process because if I couldn’t live without any of these things if I had a choice of losing them or dying I would choose dying every time. I feel this way because my mom and my brother are always there for me when I need them regardless of what I do they still care about me and the feeling is mutual. Also I would die for my pride because that’s all you have at the end of the day is your pride or your family. My passion is music I’m not sure why but music has been a big factor in my life since I was little no matter what is going on in my life I could just listen to a song and it would either make me feel better because it was a happy song or a song that would relate to my situation and it would feel better because I realized I’m not the only one with problems. What gives me my courage is my family and friends because 9 times out of 10 they are there to support me regardless of what I do and that makes me feel stronger and gives me the courage and inspiration to get up out of bed every day. My unshakeable conviction is that I’m going to do something I don’t care what it is but I’m going to be successful and I’m going to have enough money to provide for my family and make a name for myself I know i hold the power to make something great out of myself and I won’t stop until I achieve greatness. And after looking at my answers to the first question and the second I think they are sort of along the same lines

  10. You have to have a lot of inner strength and courage to die for something. Although there are things I would die for. See the thing is, I care for others, all the people I love, more than I care about myself. I would do anything and everything for the ones who mean the most to me. I have a big heart, too big for me alone. I am the complete opposite of selfish and greedy. I love to give and know I helped or saved someone. Any of my friends would tell you I’m the most caring, understanding, and loving person. My loved ones give me strength. Just having loved ones and friends is the most important thing given to me in this life. Without them I’m nothing. Money and wealth can’t give me happiness. It shouldn’t give anyone happiness. So for the ones I love, I would take a bullet, take the blame, take the suffering that could be put on them. I want to do so much just seeing them upset or crying. I will do my best to protect the ones I love, no matter what the cost. Some even have called me a hero. I of course don’t agree with that. My loved ones, they give me my courage, my motivation, my soul. That is something worth dying for.

  11. 1.) I would die for my family.
    2.) My passion is becoming sucessful.
    What gives me courage is my family.
    Unshakeable conviction- The good in people.

    I believe my answers fall in line with what I would die for. I care about my family which makes me want to become sucessful so I can take care of them. I care about my family more than anything and I would do anything for my family.

  12. I could say I would die for my son Joseph Jr. because he is a part of me. My son is everything to me and I would give my life up for his. He is only 9 months and learning very fast, he makes smile when I’m down and he keeps me sane. Taking care of my family, and fulfilling my dreams are the things I am very passionate about. My family, my son’s father, and my best friend give me courage. When I go through the worst break up in my life they were there telling me I’m going to get through it and that I will find the man of my dreams. They tell me every day that I will be something in life and that I can do anything I set my mind to. With them in my life I am strong and I am who I am right now because of them. Basically my family, my son’s father, and my best friend is my everything and I am willing to do whatever to keep them happy and by me doing that I will always remain happy and with a smile on my face .

  13. There are not many things I would die for, people say I would die for this, I would die for that but when it really comes down to it half these people wont put actions to the words that come out their mouths. Truthfully what I would die for is probably the people that im absolutley the closest to. If im handed an oppritunity to live and it wont kill me the rest of my life to deal with the situation. Im not stupid and im not going to die for a stupid reason you only get one life so have fun. Now my passion is to live everyday like its would be your last I hate people that never live on the edge, no you dont always have to take risks but if you dont theres no point in living life because you never acually lived it up. Courage on the other hand is something everyone has it just comes out at different times. I dont think people know when tto be couragious I think it just kind of has to happen. An unshakeable conviction is i take too many risks and should learn when the right time for things are. My Answers all fall together because the answers that I put are truthful and what make me, me.

  14. Someone that i can say i would die for is my mom and thats a fact. I love my mom with all my heart and even tho she does not show it i know she loves me too. I feel is i didnt have my mom then i dont think i could be able to live with myself. I would die for my family too. Well some of my family. For the most part they been there for me and they have been there to support my decisions even if they were good or bad. Being succesful in this cruel life is my passion and wanting to be there to support the people i love. All this does ties down in one thing and thats family.

  15. First off we are talking about maybe the most feared phenomenon on earth, and that is death. Its stronger then the word love and brings more grief then the word hate. So with that being said I would die for any good cause. My family is my life without them i would not be alive. I feel as though the children who are lost and without a family are the real soldiers of the world because they have no one to care for them in that type of way. I feel as though my life isn't that valuable so if i sacrifice myself i have nothing to lose. I have nothing in this world i would live for so whats stopping me from dying for a family member of mine, even the ones i recently meet, they mean the world to me. My passion is my life , now that may contradict what i just said about death , but i love the world , i dislike pessimist because this world is such a beautiful place and still has a select few of good people. My mistakes give me courage, i believe that every time i mess up it make me a little stronger in belief of what i can do. An unshakable of mine is doubt, i doubt a lot. It only make things worst for me Example: when someone asks me am i going to college id say " i doubt i will even make it " that type of doubt only hurts me and hides my real potential. These answers to me conflict with each other and will always be like an everlasting war in my mind , because i love life yet i would leave this planet if the opportunity ever presented itself in a bad situation, but thats what makes this life a little more less plain then it should be and prepares me for the coming future.

    There is not many things i would die for but if it came down to it i would have to say my family because the thought of them being able to live another day would be worth dieing for.
    My passion is in my art work, because i want it to get me somewhere in life to help with my family later down the road. What gives me courage is my family and friends. like when feel like i cant do any better in school they support me and give me courage not to give up. Also i belive in God because i believe hes helped me out many times in my life.
    I think my answers tye in with who i would die for because without my mom and dad i wouldnt be as passionate to draw like i am.Or i wouldn't find the courage i needed without them and also my dad and grandmom and grandpop introduced me to god when i was little which is why i beleive in him now.

  19. There is only one thing i would be able to die for and thats love. Any kind of love though not just romance, but all of the wonderful people I love friends and family. Also I don't have one now but the cause i would be devoted to.
    My passion is to learn, it may sound cornney but learning is one thing that happens everyday and every moment. It only requires that you be rich enough to pay attention and you could learn anything. Everything has an art and to me learning about itSmart.
    What gives me courage is my own thought to think that what i'm doing is right. To have control of my own thought and my own action is the greatest reasurence in life even if it took a thousand mistakes to learn. Mostly I just try to believe in something tangible. Thats all i can do when there is no god I believe in and no silly book I live my life by.
    My first point and my seconds coincide together. I would die for what i believe to be correct because that is what ive learned. The courage i get is from the thought that i would die defending my cause and the ones i love for there is a slim chance fighting some kindof war i would survive but that small chance is all i would be concerned with. Finally it is my conviction that there is no god, christan muslim or whatever. This i would die defending because i believe that dying for your religon is stupid and i want to be stupid smart.

  20. i would have to say i would die for my grandmother. She means the world to me. I would do anything to not let her be taken away from me. She is my reminder of why i am going to be sucessful. I owe it all to my grandmother. I know when i graduate from high school she is going to have the biggest smile on her face. I will be her first grandchild to go on to college. Whenever i think of my grandmother it just gives me the courage to keep pushing and not give up when things get rough.She is the really the reason i do most of the thing i do in my life.

  21. Well the people I would die for would be my family. I would do anything for them because I know they would do anything for me. My family is very close thanks to my mom and dad. My parents have always made sure that I know that I can go to them for anything and I never have to feel like they would ever tell me to get out or anything. My mom is not only my mom but she is honestly one of my best friends. I mean we fight a lot but I can go to her when I fight with my boyfriend, one of my other friends, or having trouble in school. My mom keeps me going when I'm down and she is always going to be here for me she has the best advice. Then my dad.. Well I am a huge Daddy's girl my dad would do anything for me and always has. He is very strict and we fight a lot but I always end up getting what I want! Well my horse honestly is my courage.. I can be feeling down and stressing about school or anything and I can just go or a ride on my horse and it's like everything just goes away. He is like my little escape from everything. :)

  22. well before you even ask this question I’ve been had thought about it and the only people I would die for would have to be my Niece and nephew and this is because of a recent situation involving my sister house being shot at and a small bullet barley missing my niece head and that’s when I relieve my niece and nephew would be the only people I die for because I feel like they haven’t had no time to enjoy there lives and if my life would have to be taken in order for them to live then so be it
    and what gives me courage is my family and knowing that they’re there for me through the ups and downs that I have. And I really don’t think my answers to the second set of questions fall in line with the first.

  23. Unshakeable conviction. My grandmother is honestly what gives me courage. Sometimes I feel lost and she guides me. Other times I’m sitting here looking for an easy way out and that’s when my mom pops up in the picture and says: “nothing in this life is easy”. They are what give me the strength to move forward. Two people I would die for, my mother who brought me into this world and my grandmother who raised me. I love them with all my heart. I argue with my mom all the time but I don’t let anyone else argue with her. Even she noticed. Now my grandmother, when I was in Puerto Rico she wouldn’t go out anywhere if it wasn’t for me having to drive her around. It’s just the fact that I know she’s safe with me. I’m a grandma’s girl and my mother would get so jealous because of the fact that I call my grandma Mami Dolores, and my mom Mom dol cause her name is Dolly. They both have done so much for me! If I were to lose one of them I would be nowhere. I would die for anyone of them. That’s why lately I’ve been appreciating every moment by there sides. That’s why I can’t wait to visit PR, and because my Uncle Victor and Aunt Janice are expecting another little angel. I can honestly say this year is full of surprises. This year I graduate, My aunt gives birth, I move out into my own little apartment and start my own life, I’m even going to see my father after so long! It’s been 9years since that man walked out of my life and I’m finally going to confront him. Not because he is trying to find me, it’s because I’m going to find him myself. Let’s just say I’m going to take a little vacation to Miami Florida. Back to the people I would die for; they are the angels that God put in my life. I love my mommy and my grandmother. They give me courage.

  24. If i had to die for someone it would probably be my family or my boyfriend. They are the ones i care about most in this world and care about me as much as i care about them. Family has always been their, the ones who have been there from day one, the day you were born until today. My boyfriend also has been there for every moment i needed them, so if they are all their for me and willing to take the time to listen to me and take care of me then i would do the same. My family and my boyfriend are the only ones i can count on and i know they would give anything up for me, even their life, then why shouldn't. They are always there the ones who keep me going and pick me up when i fall. The love and care that i have for them is strong that I do have the courage to die in order for them to live because they deserve it. Although i wouldn't necessarily want to die, i would do it for them as they would for me. There is nothing in this world that would make me think other wise because based on all that they have done for me, i know that giving up my life wouldn't be a mistake. They are the ones who i would truly give my life up for, even though basically they are my life and i love them more than words can say. <3 : )

  25. If i had to die for someone it would be my girl friend or my mother. They are the people that mean the most and have the greastest influience on me. They have been there for me throw thick and thin and they are the only people i would want by my side. Me and my mom have had our diffrences but we get throw them and me and my girl friend we love each other no mater what happens. she will be there for me as well as i will be there for her. If i had to die today i would only do it for them two because i know deeply in my heart that if it was me they would do them same. Neven thought i dont want to die if it happens them thats how it was ment to be and i would be happy but at least i would go out fighting and i would tell them that i love them alot and i will never forget them. I will be looking over them every day and ever second of the day making sure that they stay out of trouble and stay on the right track. They are the ones that i would surround my life with everyday if i hgad to they are my shinning star as i am theres.... just want to say that i love u both no matter what happens.... :))) <3

  26. If i had to chose someone that i would die for, it would have to be my brothers and the love of my life Jasmine Palou. I would die for my brothers because they mean a lot to me and when i am with them there is never a dull moment. I would die for my girlfriend because i love her to death. She is one of the people i can count on the most and i know she would do the same for me because we have been together a very long time and everyday we still get even closer and closer. My brother Rodney always makes me laugh and he always been there and we always have a good time; me and my brothers frienship isnt like other bonds that brothers have because we are much closer and can talk about anything and act weird but still have a good time. My brother Kenny has helped me through a lot of things when i was younger and has also always been there for me. Jasmine i know she loves me and i would die for her wihtout thinking twice about it and she means the world to me and more. I now she and my brothers can do good things out in the world so i would die for them all. If it were me, i know they would do the same.

  27. In this life i have been given a lot if not many things, but would die for the safety of my family they mean more then a universe to me, because they have proven to me that family really is always there for you when no one else is, and are the only one's that accept yo for who I am. My passion is writing, only because i can express myself however i want and say whatever i have to get off my chest with out having to worry about some getting mad or getting sad. Where i can spill out everything i'm feeling, not worry about my secrets not being kept a secret. It gives me courage to be strong, it helps me clear things out of my mind, and also gives me courage to keep going in life no matter how hard it gets because it helps me remember my mistakes and keeps me from looking back. i am convicted that because of my writing i wont make the same mistake twice. This fits in with what i said earlier. My family means everything and because of them i wright down everything to keep me from looking back and staying in my past rather than moving forward.

  28. Now who would i die for? Really i wouldnt have my life ltaken for anybody. Like i think nobody in this world is worth me given up my life for. But i think if i was in a situation where i had to risk my life, i think it would be only for my mom my dad and my 2 little sisters. i would die for my Mom because she is my mom, even though we get into it alot i still love her and dont know what i would do without her. and My dad because he just keeps me fouced most of the time, even though he get on my nerves. Now my two littles sisters i would would die for them because they are like the best things that even happened to me. like one of them i fight with alot but thats because she is only 13. But my my other one she is 16 and she is really like the other half of me we act just alike. and we hardly never have any problems. and i really wouldnt know what to do without her in my life. i wouldnt die for anybody else. No matter who they are and what they did for me, these are the only 4 people. But that is only in a situation where something just had to be done, because really i cant see myself looseing my life for nobody. That is because i wouldnt want me to go, because i want to be a “hero” or a life saver.

  29. There is a lot that I would die for, but I would take a bullet or give my life for my family. My sisters and dad are the two biggest and most important things in my life. I would do anything for to make sure they are safe. There isn’t one time when something is wrong with my sister or dad that I wouldn’t jump up and see what’s going on. I stop everything I am doing to make sure nothing is happening. Since my dad stopped everything he was doing to get me to football practice or to hang out with me. That is a lot to do, yeah he is the dad but he didn’t have to stop his job just to do something that my mom could have done. My sisters are my life just because they are younger to me and I am watching them grow up and experience more and more things. I want to make sure that they are safe and no one try’s to do anything stupid. My dad gives me the courage to do what I do and to be able to say that I would die for them. I’m not just saying it either I really would do it because my family has been through hell and I’ll be damn sure that no one is going to do anything to hurt us. Courage is a big thing in my life, I am not afraid of anything and that’s the truth my dad always told me if you run once, you will run forever so I was raised to stand my ground. He made sure I wasn’t going to be a push over kid because I don’t take any crap from anyone. He gave me courage to make sure I don’t run from anything and that’s why I am the way I am. The passion of him raising me the way he did is great because I will always remember what he did and that you don’t get what you want so easy, you have to fight for what you want. Passion- When something is given or grated to someone else and is a great thing to receive.

  30. In my life I’ve been given so many things. I wouldn’t say I would necessarily die for them but I cherish them a lot. The ones I cherish the most are my mom, grandmother, brothers and my little sister, also my girlfriend. I love them with all my heart, but the thing is would they die for me? The other day I heard how and 19 year old girl was with her boyfriend and 4 boys beat and killed her and he ran. You never know with the world today and how people feel around you. Don’t get me wrong God died for us and that’s probably the only one I would die for. I value my life the only person that can get me somewhere is God. I love my life I wouldn’t give it up for anyone or anything. I guess being young with nothing of my own. One day when I have children, I can say that their mine I’d kill for them. My passion is to go to college and play college football. I’m the youngest brother and I looked up to my older brothers. I basically want to follow their footsteps and be all I can be. I love the game. I wouldn’t give it up for any other sport out there. What gives me courage is my mother. My mom is a single parent, but she can do it all. I can’t complain with anything she does. If she wants to do she just goes and makes it happen. She has made me the person that I am today!

  31. I can say that the few people I would risk my life for is my son/daughter, whoever I’m blessed with & my fiancĂ©. Just because that’s my new family and no one can imagine how much my fiancĂ© has done for me. My passion is taking care and being supportive of my new family, they mean more to me than anything in this world. And they are what give me courage. My sisters, mom and dad somewhat give me courage & pride just because they have made me a stronger person. They have showed me not to trust or to be open enough, which most people consider it bad but I know that I’m myself around the only person I have to be myself with. its kind of hard explaining it just because i dont feel very comfortable explaining personal things in my life.But anyway this all makes me the person i am.
