While the majority of American Millennials are religious, one in three is irreligious, continuing a trend towards irreligion that has been increasing since the 1940s.[71] 29 percent of Americans born between 1983 and 1994 are irreligious, as opposed to 21 percent born between 1963 and 1982, 15 percent born between 1948 and 1962 and only 7 percent born before 1948.[72] A 2005 study looked at 1,385 people aged 18 to 25 and found that more than half of those in the study said that they pray regularly before a meal. One-third said that they discussed religion with friends, attended religious services, and read religious material weekly. Twenty-three percent of those studied did not identify themselves as religious practitioners.[73]
College Essay I would write about how my love and consistency of dancing saved me, but that wouldn't be entirely true. Dancing only helped me while I saved myself.

anyone. I came from a very strict family that did not allow me to do much outside of school events. In high school my life consisted of work, basketball, and school. I was a very shy kid and was definitely not known as the party kid that hung out with all the popular kids on the weekend. Instead, I was studying, working, or helping my dad around the house. I had no idea how much my life would have changed for the better. Luckily, at summer orientation a member of the Alpha Tau Omega fraternity invited…
Imagine moving every four years. Leaving to a new state, possibly a new country, a new town, and an all new group of people. That was my life for 16 years, you learn to adapt to change quickly.

Some may say my life is less than ordinary. I like to believe that my life is extraordinary. From the first time I gazed my eyes upon the pages of Harry Potter and the Sorcerer’s Stone I knew that writing was something that I needed to pursue. The way J.K. Rowling enveloped me into this world of magic amazed me. I wanted to do this to people too, bring them into a world that was better than their own, a place where they could learn from their mistakes and make their lives better. For me, writing…
Before my childhood was cut short, it was a great one. I had a wonderful family and a younger brother who I was very close with. His name was Kinto. While our parents would be working in the daytime, Kinto and I, and other children in the village would all go into the woods to hunt for birds without the use of weapons and picked fruits for our families. There was nothing we loved more than running freely through the vast forests and playing together. By the time we were 12 years old, we knew how…
I remember as an 8 year old youth, being told stories by my grandfather on my mothers side about the many rituals he endured as a youth in having to hunt, fish, and work the land for his and his families survival. I may not remember the specific stories he shared with me, but I do remember hearing many of his stories which I felt at the time were boring, save for his gift to me of his original hand made bow he crafted and gave to me. I even remember when the American part of me read an article in…

I began athletics at a very young age. My first coach was my stepfather, called Bruce Barber. By the time I had a collection of regional and national titles in the 100 meters, 200 meters, high jump and long jump competitions.

throughout my life I blocked out the bad things that happened. Things that i thought were so bad that i did not want to remember. Now i look back, and I say to myself what the hell was i so afraid of. Why did i feel the need to do so? I never stopped to think well maybe its really not that bad.

My name is Janae Davis. I’m 17 years old and attend Miami Northwestern senior high. But, that was not my first school; before I went to northwestern, I attended St. Thomas Aquinas in ft. Lauderdale. I had a great time there playing basketball, running track, and being in clubs like best buddies and marine biology.
