You Are Never Alone

I particularly liked a simple paragraph from the final version of my paper. I thought I'd place it here too:

My family is important to me. I believe that I help my family live an idea: “No man is an island.” The Englishman, John Donne, made a sermon in the 16th Century on that statement, meaning we are not alone at our beginnings, nor our endings; all that we share in-between is seen and noted, because our existence relates to others. From this, I take several things into action. 1) My existence alone is important, it impacts others. 2) Sharing one’s own capabilities with others is all part of how our lives remain of special note. 3) The idea of being alone or studying in a solitary fashion is only on a physical plane; God is the presence with one always.
