Many people, however, who are strict believers in their particular religion, would never consider converting. Ana Duarte, a 23-year-old student at UCLA, said that almost everybody questions his or her belief system at one point in life. However, Duarte actively practices her religion and considers herself a “lib- eral Catholic.” “I would never convert, because I have strong faith in my religion, and I learn and grow from it, although I have hard times with it once in a while,” she said. Even though she would not turn her back on her religion, Duarte is open for anything new, and she listens to the view of people of different faith to learn from them. “You don ‘t have to believe in every- thing, and you don’t have to convert to apply certain aspects of it to your life,” she said. “ But when it comes from the heart, then converting is a good thing.”
