Growing up, I knew that church was the way to go. My family were very satnified christians.My father is an pastor and my mother is an evangelist. I remember waking up on Sunday mornings to gospel playing throughout the house and my pops pacing back and forth wondering which suit and tie to wear that day. I never knew God for myself at that time. I was just following along with the tradition of my family. Participating in the church as a child helped me with my voice, helped me know God personally, and kept me on the right path to grow as a person. My family always knew that I had a great voice. My mom use to always tell me that my voice would lead me the top of the charts one day. I would go to choir rehearsal every Tuesday night and sing …show more content…
I would hear the members of the church thanking a man that I have never seen before. I would listen to my pops preach about a spirit that I had never felt before. A person can know about Him but not actually know him until they have a personal relationship with Him. As a few years passed, I eventually got to know God for myself. I eventually got baptized and made a promise to always love Him and obey the words of the Bible. To this day, God has been the head of my life. He has blessed me trmemdously. I never go without anything, he gives me good health and strength, and also a peace of mind. Knowing God young, helped me grow as a person. I help others around me and spread the word to them to they can be a better person. I now teach Sunday School to children of ages 7-11 so they can be on the right path like my parents had me. I am a role model to so many children in the community. I have many kids that comes up to me and tell me they look up to me and they thank me for all that I do. In conclusion, going on with my family tradition as being a Christian, molded me into the good person I am today. I appreciate my growth and I appreaciate my parents staying on me about knowing and worshipping God. My family stayed focused on Christ and here I am, 40years later, still on the same path and still following their

    As a child religion was always a part of my life, in a bigger sense than just going to mass on the holidays. I went to church with my grandmother every Sunday, catechism school on Tuesdays, and would pray before bed every night. I always attend public schools because we could not afford private school. At a very young age though, a freshman in high school, I went through an extremely traumatic experience; I lost my best friend of 10 years suddenly. We went from hanging out almost every day for more than half of our lives to her being gone and me feeling so alone.…

    Kelsey Palmer Anderson Astronomy October 31, 2014 "Even today, there are moments when what I do seems to me like an improbable, if unusually pleasant dream: to be involved in the exploration of Venus, Mars, Jupiter, and Saturn; to try to duplicate the steps that led to the origin of life on an Earth very different from the one we know; to land instruments on Mars to search there for life; and perhaps to be engaged in a serious effort to communicate with other intelligent beings, if such there be, out there in the dark of the night sky", I said this in 1973, and it held up till the day I died. I was born on November 9th in 1934. If I could describe myself back then, I'd say I was a childhood science fiction addict. It was when…
