I Try

For me, I have grown up with Christianity. Ever since I was born I have been in raised in church. The church I attended while growing up was great. It was a small church plant and we moved around a lot. My story starts with Sunday school and my hatred for it. It then moves to Good News Club which would make the biggest impact on my life. Then it moves to high school youth group and college. My earliest memory of church was when we met above the thrift store in town. As the church began to grow,…

St George of Lydda BIOGRAPHY The life of a saint is one filled with hardships and persecution. Saints are those who go beyond the daily mass and preach the Good News to all people, even at the cost of their life. St George was born in AD 280 in Cappadocia (an area that is now part of Turkey) and died on the 23rd of April, 303 in Palestine. He was a soldier in the Roman army who later became venerated as a Christian martyr. His parents were Christians of Greek background. His father, named…

The numbers do not really show the order they will be presented in. They are there just to keep track of how many questions I have. Today I am here with native Sydneysider, Ed Kennedy, to ask a few questions about his journey as the messenger. Ed, now that you know you delivered joy to these people who were lost in their life, what impact does it place on you and others who feel they serve no purpose in life? This journey was definitely a giant whirlwind of emotions and feelings, and it…

the beginning my group and I were confused. We understood that we have to choose an activity from the text book and use them to educate parents or teachers about grief and loss. Description of the learning activity We chose the activity in the class and mad an appointment to meet so we can divide the work. However, when we met we were not sure. Therefore, my group and I went to the instructor office and she helped us and clarified the assignment. After that, my group and I decided to make our…

Bigger Than I Really Am It was a normal summer afternoon when my mom called me into her bedroom. I had no ideas what to do for my 15th birthday on July 16th. I figured I would just see a movie, just like everyone normally does. I recently picked up an interest in Marvel movies and characters and my mom had actually taken notice. “Why don’t you go to this Wizard World thing? That Stan Lee guy you talk about is going to be there, and some Walking Dead characters.” Stan Lee is one of the original…

Emery I looked around the dank tunnel before stepping aboard the train. Those around me stared out the window with blank, unfeeling expressions. Their eyes reminded me of the sky above us- gray and hopeless, afraid of the upcoming downpour. Coming home was never fun. After a successful 7 hour day at the CDC, I had washed off all potential diseases and taken a stuffy, slightly yellow tinted can with wheels and sticky seats. The trains had been in use for years, even after the bombings and the…

Many people assume you join an organization because you already have knowledge of what the organization is about, but I believe even if you don’t have the knowledge before joining doesn’t mean you can’t join. For me, I had trouble fitting in at the Engineering Club at my High School. I didn’t have any knowledge about engineering before joining the club, but that didn’t stop me, I was still interested to find out what it was all about. You might ask why join this club and well you were able to…

were directly centered on Luke when I walked into my door. I tried my hardest to think about something or someone else. I didn’t want my mind going off to dreamy land before I even had the opportunity to know more about the man that had captured so much of my attention tonight. Then my thoughts easily moved to the man whom I was supposed to be with tonight on an amazing date that went downhill quickly. I wished in this moment that the date was with Luke, then I would still be out enjoying the…

like Asperger’s Disorder? I was lucky enough to spend an entire day with an amazing fifteen year old named Blake who suffers from Asperger’s. I knew some of the characteristics that come along with this disorder, but at the same time I am not sure what to expect from a teenage boy, who in theory is expected to constantly be in social situations. I was a little nervous, because I know this disorder can alter his emotions very rapidly; he has bad days, and he has good days. I am hoping this is one…

world. This summer I received that chance. In May of 2015 my mom told me, “We are going to see Ben and Samantha, “my Aunt and Uncle in the Dominican Republic. At first I was opposed to going, but as time went on I grew more and more excited about going on the trip. By June, everything was finalized and I was leaving to the Dominican Republic! On June 8th at 10:00 a.m., the American Airline airbus A320 lifted out of Sunport International Airport. My mom, sister, brother, and I flew to Dallas,…
