Amenemhat I

grade when my parents got an email asking if I wanted to do traveling softball. I had just finished my first season of VAA softball and my friend Katie and I decided it sounded like fun. I didn't really know what it meant to be on a travelling softball team back then, I just thought it would be as laid back as VAA. My first year I loved it and I had lots of fun and made lots of new friends. I would practice with my dad often so that I could get better. Then I continued with softball all the way…

Service Learning Reflection During my time at New Hope, there was one boy, *Kory, that I drawn to from the beginning. I really don’t know how to explain it but I just felt like I was meant to know him and to help him. He had these sad eyes that seemed to be crying for help. One thing I learned about Kory early on, is that you never know which version of him you are going to get. Some days he would be talkative, rambunctious, and completely lacking self-control, causing him to get in trouble…

The dawning of the early second to seventh century C.E. is when the universal form of religion originated; these two beliefs, Buddhism and Christianity, captured a worldwide code of ethics and followers due to many mediums. Both beliefs grew with vast similarities and differences while possessing extraordinary advantages like writing and influential people like the Roman Emperor Constantine and the great Ashoka. Their similarities begin with the minor basis of religion and main purpose: being…

Vivian Rider My Mentor “Talk to me.” Every time I had an upset or quiet demeanor that leads to shutting myself down from friends and class participation, my elementary school teacher would constantly show her concern when nobody else would. Life isn’t easy and it took me a long time to understand that. Letting others into my life without hesitating isn’t so scary as I thought it would be. Sometimes being alone is the best, but restraining from destroying myself is being strong. What makes me…

will have been busy around the time: we took early celebration. The check in starts 10:15, so we departed our house around eight am just in case the traffic is heavy. Recently, I have seen many car accidents on highway. I did not miss the wine train ride due to the traffic problems. We arrived the train station 9:45 am. I was so happy to see the train station since it was my first time wine train ride. Raymond has ridden twice. He guided and snowed me the station. There were a lounge, gift shops…

Through the rise Monasticism, both secular and religious advancements were made. After the fall of the Roman Empire in the fifth century, Monasticism rose out of a desire to leave civilization, which had been overtaken by the brutal Germanic Tribes, and devote oneself entirely to prayer and asceticism, in order to imitate Christ. Though the Monastic life of prayer and asceticism gave a new life to the faith and also evangelized the Germanic Tribes. Because of this rapid conversion of the…

Mongkut’s Modern Mission “Getting to know you…” Many people might know this famous song from Rodger and Hammerstein’s Tony award winning Broadway musical The King and I. This musical follows Anna Leonowens, a Western school teacher, to Bangkok, Siam, modern day Thailand. She becomes the governess to King Rama IV of Bangkok’s, more commonly known as King Mongkut,children. She was hired to teach his multitude of children in the Western way and also advised the king on trades and other affairs with…

leaders delayed baptizing such men until just before death,” (3). I personally believe Constantine knew he would continue to commit sinful actions and did not want to be held back because of a commitment to a religion through baptism. If Constantine knew he would continue to sin, there would be no reason for him to get baptized. Religiously speaking, Baptism was meant to wash away any sins committed, the start of a new life. Also, I believe Constantine might have gotten baptized after his death…

The Flinders Ranges On Friday we left the campsite at 9.00 and enjoyed visiting the Railway museum at Peterborough. During this tour (led by a newbie who needed to read her notes), Ben decided on his career move. He was going to obtain a railway and run a steam engine for tourists. Over the next few days this was more solidified in his mind. While walking into Wilpena Pound, there were many animated and detailed discussions on how he could make a request to the South Australian Government…
