"this i believe"

In an article called "Just Say no"Jessica Paris talks about how she says no to more than just sugary foods. She also says no to slogans and advertisements on T.V. This belief gave Jessica the strength to give her freedom to experience things in her life without something or someone having to do it for her. For example in the article Jessica says that "This dollar is a part of art or a articfact of the human race so  I said no." This quote means that Jessica Paris valued that one dollar she said had for safe keeping and to invest to earn more money.
