Mission's Trip
The third week of June, 2015, marks the week my perspective on life changed. This trip contributed to the obliteration of my egotistical state of mind. I went on a prayer tour, spent time at an elderly apartment complex, helped at a community outreach, served at a food bank, and visited a children's learning center. Each of these experiences affected me differently, but were similar in that they all changed my outlook on life.
The prayer tour I went on revealed the diversity and issues of Westside Chicago. The entire tour was alien to me; I heard information about violence in schools and in gangs, and the dangers people face day to day. I couldn't wrap my brain around these overwhelming concepts, showing me a world I didn't

    Summary Of From The Private Journal Of A Journey By Sarah Kemble Knight

    From the Private Journal of a Journey The events of American history are very much connected to the influence of American literature and what it has become today.

    Personal Narrative: My Field Trip To Chicago

    Our field trip to Chicago offered me a new way of seeing the city. I have been to Chicago multiple times, yet this trip offered me an experience I was not expecting. It offered me an insight to the darkness that covers the city and the beacons of light that try to shine through that darkness. It opened my eyes to those who are searching for a truth, a love and an acceptance and are finding it in so many different places; whether it is Jesus People USA, South East Friendship Center, Olive Branch, a Krishna Temple or an Islamic Mosque. In each of these places individuals are just trying to figure out where they belong and if they can find acceptance, but what each offers is entirely different.…

    Personal Narrative: If I Spent On A Missions Trip

    If I could do something I've never done before, I would go on a missions trip. I would choose to do this because ever since I was younger, about in seventh grade, I have felt a call to go to Japan and minister. I feel like if God has given me the idea, it is meant to happen sometime in his plan for me. I would also want to go on a missions trip because that is what God has commanded us to do; spread his word. Taking this opportunity and using it to honor God would be just what he would want me to…

    I saw it in the fluttering feet of a child across the street. I saw it in the presence of Debra, and in the smiles of the public safetymen standing outside. I saw the implications of poverty pertaining to abandon buildings, but it was the beauty of people, which stayed with me. The resilient and collective…

    Three Attributes Of The Stony Brook PA Program

    The experience of talking to different people at Roosevelt has given me a window into the lives of all these different groups. I also worked with underserved communities while volunteering abroad in Israel. At Alyn Children’s Hospital, over half the children lived under the poverty line. At the hospital there were Arab and Jewish children, many of whom lived on government aid. In addition to medical help, these children needed other types of support from the hospital staff.…

    Personal Narrative: What Does It Means To Be Human

    On that day, I headed down to Harlem in New York City to feed these “unknowns”. I left the safety and comfort of my home for a beat-up, rusty, early 2000s Ford E350 that would take me down to the depths of Harlem, to a soup kitchen that was completely unfamiliar to me. I loaded the van with countless trays of cold pasta and sauce. By the time we got to Harlem, it was already drizzling and cloudy. I got out of the van along with the other volunteers and a representative from our church, who also ended up volunteering.…

    Amid the chaos of life, self-reflection rarely occurs. Many of us walk through life, never stopping to consider our current location on the path towards our goal destinations. In the modern world, our minds have become restless. Rather than taking the time to consider our current place, we scramble toward our hopes and dreams, all the while running away from our past. With our minds constantly consumed by the the next to-do list, we lose our connection to ourselves, forgetting along the way to enjoy our lives.…

    Prison Ministry Reflection

    I visited Cook County Jail for the very first time in my life with my Prison Ministry course. I always road pass the building to get to work, but never been inside to see how the buildings were structured. I have never been jailed, but always knew someone affected by the criminal justice system. For me, I grew up in a home where, I was taught to be respectful to others, Christian beliefs, morals, and values instilled into me at a young age. I know these same core principles were also taught to the many of the young men who were presented at the jail during my visit.…

    The Importance Of Living In The 21st Century

    Living in the 21st century consists of moving at light speed and hardly stopping to enjoy the loyal people God placed in your life or the gorgeous Earth surrounding us. This is what I am experiencing as I am currently writing this. I’ve wanted to write this post for weeks, but couldn 't seem to find the time because of my demanding college life. But now, as I sit admiring the ocean waves slowly pushing up the sand I have found the time. So, I want to recall back to June 17 when I took a lovely little journey to Satellite Auto Repair to have my windshield fixed.…
