Personal Narrative: My Experience To Horses

Improved Essays
I have had very limited exposure to horses in my lifetime, and therefore I do not currently have the skills needed to ride, let alone, train a horse. Though this is true, I would still like to familiarize myself with these magnificent creatures by helping out anyway I can (cleaning, first aid, repairs…etc.). I do have experience with fundraising, and I would like to become knowledgeable on the topics of rehab and proper horse care. I am also a certified emergency medical technican (NREMT).

I do not have experience regarding horses or their care, but I have extensively volunteered at hospitals before. I have done some office work at the hospital, but mostly have concentrated on patient care at the ER and Cardiac ICU. I don't have much job

    Self Betrayal

    We have all committed the unforgettable sin. And, no, it’s not lust, or anger, or even greed - it’s something less obvious, but more dangerous, a transgression that is fatal to our spiritual growth: we have committed the act of self betrayal. We deny our inner truths, look outside ourselves for answers, we hide who we really are in order to fit in, and we fail to hold ourselves accountable to our own standards and commitments to ourselves. For some of us, it is an occasional slip that feels noticeably wrong; for others, it is a way of life so deeply-rooted that we hardly know who we are anymore. We hear it all the time, “be true to your Self”.…
