I finished I Would Die For You, and as I have said many times before, it was FABULOUS! it seriously helped me with "dying for your friends", like what that meant etc... yeah, it was a really good book... :
what I wrote- "laying down/sacrificing your life doesn't necessarily mean taking a bullet or anything, it could mean getting bullied, standing up for them and being thought 'weird'." And it's basically the same thing for Jesus, being willing to look "weird" and standing up for Him.
what BJ wrote- " 'Greater love has no man than this, that he lay down his life for his friends.' This passage has a double meaning. One, that Christ is the ultimate example of love (being that He is God and God is love), and two, that the GREATEST love is to sacrifice yourself for your friends. [When I say love is a verb], this is the action I'm talking about. Not necessarily to literally get killed to save someone, but to lay your life down: to become selfless and act for others instead of yourself, or to devote your life."
(that's from the book)
So I would DEFINITELY recommend this book.
Entrance Exams... :
They were pretty good... i suppose i would say i'm semi-confident. I knew basically all of the stuff on the test (it's more of an evaluation of your knowledge ;P). The first thing we had to do was write an essay in 25 minutes on whether you agree or disagree with the topic. and the topic sentence was... ready? drum roll please,... "The greatest benefit of education is tolerance." WHAT?!?! how on earth did they expect me to write an essay, in 25 minutes, on THAT?! i literally just sat there for 10 minutes dumbfounded having absolutely NO idea what to write! i finally decided i disagreed with that absurd sentence and wrote about something along the lines of that education doesn't produce a sense of tolerance, but rather an opposition and they (educatees) develop instead a something (haha i can't think of the word...) that they can decide for themselves and make their own decisions. independence, perhaps? ;P it was ridiculous... i ended up scribbling the last 2 paragraphs because i ran out of time. i don't think anyone else had the same sentence as me, because nobody else was making desperate glances or just sitting there with their mouth hanging open...
the section after that was math... ugh i hate math... i just barely marked the last circle when the proctor called time. but all the sections after math i finished with atleast 10 minutes to spare. i practically memorized all the names of the Nazi and WWII books next to me. i think the other guy who finished early probably memorized the ones next to him, too ;P lol...
interaction was... 0. and super awkward. but the rest of the test was semi-easy and dragged on for-eva! but that's my story for part 2 of this post...
i'm actually going to have 2 more short parts (don't worry, this post is almost over ;P).
