English essay

topic： Author Matthew Kelly States,

Jesus said, “I have come that you may have life, and have it to the fullest” (John 10:10).  The path that leads to “fullness of life” is discipline. There are four major aspects of the human person – physical, emotional, intellectual, and spiritual. When we eat well, exercise often, and sleep regularly, we feel more fully alive physically. When we love, when we give priority to the significant relationships of our lives, when we give of ourselves to help others in their journey, we feel more fully alive emotionally. When we study our vision of our self, God, and the world expands, and we feel more fully alive intellectually. When we take a few moments each day in the classroom of silence to come before God in prayer, openly and honestly, we experience life more fully spiritually. All of these life-giving endeavors require discipline. When are we most fully alive? When we embrace a life of discipline. The human person thrives on discipline.

Are you thriving? Or does it sometimes feel like you are just surviving? Why? What can you do to thrive more? Be concrete. Use specific examples of ways in which you plan on improving. What specific areas of your life would you like to grow in? How can you use discipline to slowly and steadily grow in EACH of those areas?

Overview

For each point paper, please write a 2 page paper (MLA or Turabian format - size 12 font, double-spaced, 1” margins, etc.) answering the question(s) provided. These are opinion papers, but should be reflections that incorporate serious thought as well as research or information learned in class when

appropriate. For point papers where research is needed, cite the sources you used and include a works cited (be sure to use MLA or Turabian format, PROPERLY CITING any quotes or paraphrased statements). Most of the point papers do not require any research. It should be obvious when they do.

The student should demonstrate that he/she has comprehended the material covered in class. While there is no need to have a thesis, it is advised that students pick a point that they want to emphasize and build the paper accordingly. To receive a 100, a paper must have correct spelling and grammar and follow all of the above guidelines and meet the above requirements. Please do not try and make your heading a half of a page, as that is completely unnecessary. All that is necessary in the heading is your name, the course name, the date it is due, and the title of your paper. DO NOT use an excessive amount of spaces in the heading or in the paper to try and make your writing appear longer.
