The life of cosmopolitan women in late-antiquity has remained something of an enigma to scholars. Perceptions of general decadence and moral impoverishment date back to the early research of historians like Edward Gibbon, who argued that a loss of virtue-ethics plagued the secular government. Authors of the 5th and 6th centuries, like Procopius and St. Augustine, offer little to undermine that notion. One would be quick to assume that the general decline in quality of life in the late…
What events contributed to the rise of Christianity Today Christianity is one of the most popular religions in the world. To get to this point Christianity had to achieve serious strides in a land where practicing this religion meant death. The voice of Christianity started out with Paul, a missionary whose goal was to spread the teachings and change people’s attitudes. After Paul, Constantine, the Emperor, had a long road ahead of him to make his religion, Christianity, universal. Both Paul…
This basketball game is where it all started, I thought I met the guy of my dreams. I was a senior cheerleader for the Indians and my mother was working in the concession stand that night so my friend Kira and I decided to go get some food. We got up from the far right corner of the gym and started walking toward the left corner to the door on which the concession stand is at. As we walked through the double doors I looked up and seen a guy name Trey. I looked him up…
unrealistic or may realistic. But when I was asked what I wanted to be I said a vet. I loved animals and with having pets at home it taught me the responsibility of taking care of animals. It was not until I learned what vets actually have to do and I had no intent of doing that to animals even if it was to help them. I have never had a strong stomach and would get grossed out by just seeing a little cut. As I got to second grade, I thought about teaching. I am extremely bossy, so people could…
a Friday, and it was also the day my aunt Pam lost her life to a tough battle with multiple different types of cancer. It was heartbreaking news, and all I wanted to do after finding out was go lay in my bed and cry. However, that 's not what happened, and the day was long from being over. It was a sunny, somewhat chilly Friday afternoon, and I was supposed to be dismissed early from my 7th period class to board the basketball bus. We were headed to Newton, who beat us by 9 earlier in the…
When I was eighteen I decided that I’d had enough rules for a lifetime. Immature, irresponsible, vulnerable and determined to make it work, I decided to move out of my grandparent’s house and into an apartment of my own. I would be able to make my own rules and do my own thing without anybody else interfering. It didn’t quite happen like I had imagined it would. There were a lot of bumps along the way but it really turned me into the mature, responsible adult I had always wanted to be. Even…
Constantine’s conversion to Christianity was a pivotal turning point in the highly pagan regime of the Roman Empire (Afoldi, 1948). There has been much speculation by historians and scholars surrounding whether the conversion to Christianity was a carefully articulated political maneuver by Constantine, for military supremacy of the Roman Empire. Historically, scholars suggest that the context in which Constantine was said to have converted to Christianity was a militaristic based context, with…

of comfort I would have that day. Years passed, and the same routine occurred. Go to school, do homework, get in trouble, bawl my eyes out with a single look from my father, never get into trouble (excluding the one time I stole from Target). Eventually little crybaby Kathryn got her crap together and decided crying and being awkward consistently was probably not the best thing. However, because my childhood was filled with rules and regulations for being a "respectable young lady", I never…
One day I was in school and suddenly I was called out of class to head to the office. At first I was hesitating because I usually know when I will be called to the office. Now, I was only in third grade so the excitement and the adrenaline I had rushing through my body was kind of freaking me out. When I was told to go to the office, of course my friends had to be like, “OOOOh, Tyler’s in trouble!!” That made my heart race even faster than a bullet! Walking across the courtyard was scary it was…
