Bring Me the Horizon

When we pulled into the parking lot, I stared at the forty-foot high ropes, excited, but prepared. My confidence was full blast. I was aware that my seventh-grade field trip was going to be like no other. The day was perfect! The horizon was one hundred percent, clear blue. The kids in my class were all feeling different emotions, some timid, some daring. When I got out of the car I wanted to start climbing and doing the activities immediately, but I had to contain my eagerness to begin, it was…

Reflection on Matisse Henri Matisse was born in 1869, the year the Cutty Sark was launched. The year he died, 1954, the first hydrogen bomb exploded at Bikini Atoll. Matisse lived through some of the most traumatic political events, worst wars, greatest slaughters, and the most demented rivalries of ideology. Yet, this did not affect his artwork. He never express his political opinion or experiences living throughout the horror of the 20th century, instead his painting were “the equivalent of…

firefighter would be the best way. By attending RCC, living in Riverside, and preparing myself to be a firefighter, I am designing a quality future for myself. To begin, Riverside Community College is the best college for me. One reason RCC is the best college for me is the fact that being a community college…

quizzes for him to come up to my desk and say to me "I recommend you try again. From the beginning." He was not wrong; the school I transferred from served public education, whereas in St. Joseph the education was more competitive than the former. However, no matter what, I was devastated about the truth. I loathe the drop from Spanish 2 to Spanish 1; I felt defeated and wanted to scream at the world for my problems. I formed a mental barrier, that shielded me from reality because I hated the…

poor economic condition that flirted the nation. Despite being the fulcrum of liberation of African continent, still it is lagging behind and stands as one of the poorest nation on earth. For years now, what lingers into many Tanzanian minds including me; what should be done to change our country’s fortune? I recall during my primary school days in late 1990s, reading a book “Long Walk to Freedom”, an autobiography of Nelson Mandela. I was … to know that Mandela was a qualified lawyer, who…

the development of society and technology, more and more students around the world are able to study abroad. As a result, the students who come from different countries can bring different cultures together and then the educational institutions should take advantage of them. But there are different cultures which can bring some mistakes or problems to education, and they can’t fix these problems by themselves. So that it can be a good problem for us to talk about. The cultural diversity means…

wasn’t. I hoped to kill a beast here tonight. To sever its head and return to the village, a hero. I would be accepted into the fon’s taskforce and bring my family honour. That was the plan. I marched into the sparse undergrowth. A footpath lay beyond. It led to Alarante. I was heading back when a strange feeling hit me. I quickly scanned around me. I saw little. It was a foggy morning and beneath the trees, all was white. Something stirred. A twig snapped. I grabbed an arrow. Pulling it…

health care field so I don’t know the dynamics of healthcare. But once we started the class and discussed about how as human we work, think, make decisions and treat others in the same matter can affect our day-to-day life opened the horizon for me along with bring the bible readings to compare God’s plans for humanity verses our own plans for our selves and our families. During the class, we discussed about different topics, for example nature of human, assumptions, values and brokenness etc. I…

travels with them wherever they may go and whatever they may do. Malia Hi’ilani Mae Kema was the verbal gift given to me the day I was born. It is a name that I hold dear to my heart because it carries the love of my ancestors. My Hawaiian heritage is the first thing someone sees when they look at me and the first thing that is spoken when they utter my name. My father has taught me to be proud of my unique Hawaiian culture and to live up to it. Throughout my life, I have been the minority in…

that this will equip me to help them in making more decisive decisions spiritually through Christ, and not of their own ways of thinking and doing. The scripture states in Romans 12:2 KJV “ And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect will of God”. Through God’s merciful grace I hope to accomplish this. I feel that studying this field will contribute towards expanding my horizons in education…
