I got off the plane enjoying the hot weather and soaking in the sun. The backs of my feet blistered from my new red and white jordans but at least my outfit matched.

Although, I wasn’t surprised because my dad is a social butterfly and he knows everyone. I then took a deep breath getting ready for what will come…
summer of 2016 in West Virginia, my parents told my brother and I that we were traveling to Spain for the summer. I was really excited when they told us that, since it is a pretty place to travel to. With the towering mountains and glimmering ocean, green trees and bushes, as well as the fresh air that has a little hint of the salt from the ocean, which depends as to where in Spain you are staying at. My mom had said for my brother and I to make a list of what we’re going to take with us on the…
In 490 BC, 10,000 Greek warriors charged against the opposing Persian army, composed of 25,000 soldiers.

Today is the day that I Kamehameha the Great, set out with nine-hundred-sixty war canoes and ten-thousand soldiers for Oahu. It has been an enduring voyage conquering island after island here in Hawaii. “Ka’iana prepare the landing party,” I ordered the high ranking ali’i. “Yes! Your Majesty,” Ka’iana replied.

the end. I am definitely not a hero, but my journey of finding Christ and giving my life to him has absolutely made me into a better person overall. As I look at my journey of finding Christ, I see that it has many similarities to Campbell’s Hero’s Journey.

I think I would have been less worried if there were more of us, because of the safety of numbers…
