I Was Hoping

This was my exit. I had skipped breakfast and at that time my stomach had began to rumble. Not far off the highway I spotted a quaint home that had been transformed into a diner. I decided to stop. An elderly woman with bouffant silver hair, wearing a blue checked dress and apron greeted me at the door with a smile before seating me. It was as if I had stepped back into an old movie or perhaps a doorway into the past. Upon the waitress’s instance, I ordered the daily special. It was a…

This powerful emotion ruined my relationship between my boyfriend and I because it caused cheating, accusations to be made, fights between us, and finally our breakup. Michael was my boyfriend’s name. We were exactly alike, as if we were one person. Our movements and thoughts were synchronized. People always mistakes us as siblings because our behaviors were so similar. I seriously that of Michael as my soul mate, he was heaven sent, designed epically for me by god himself. This summer,…

based on the athletic program rather than academics. Since the university greatly benefits from the athletic services provided, student athletes consider themselves to be employees of their university. March 31st, 1906 was the day the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) was founded.

The…

Last two weeks ago, I remembered I was about to have a nice and plentiful dinner outside with my parents. Unfortunately, things didn’t go that smooth as I was expected before. “Pauline, grade 12 is an important year to you, have you decided to go to what kind of stream after graduated from high school?” “My Queen (my mother), as day went by day, I decided to go with Bio-chemistry engineer. And I would like to go to McMaster University as they offer co-op program in which I could gain more…

The diffusion of Christianity all began with Jesus Christ. This man was the only son of God sent to earth to spread the word of God. He went around to new places and told stories, about the love and hope that are alive in the world. He taught about loving your peers as you would love yourself. He brought the message of unconditional love. In the Bible there is the story of the Good Samaritan. This story is about a man who was traveling and robbers left him for dead. A priest, Levite, and a…

Faith in Action Paper I spent my 15 faith service hours volunteering for Feed My Starving Children and I helped the maintenance crew around the school. While I did this I made new friends and grew as a person as well as in my faith. I probably spent about 8 or more of my service hours volunteering for Feed My Starving Children. Before when I was younger, I would go in because my older sister needed service hours and scoop some veggies and powder into a funnel for an hour and a half. Then…

Christianity became the greatest religion of the Roman Empire right under the Empire’s eyes. Probably the biggest “mistake” of the Romans was to disregard Christianity as one of its kind and underestimating it as another sector of Judaism (Spielvogel 170). The religion began in Judea, east of the Mediterranean, a region where Romans kept watchful control of. If it depended on Roman rule, Christianity would not have flourished past its place of origin. However, trade played a significant role in…

and his Role in the Rise of Christianity Constantine reflected on previous emperors seeing that worshiping multiple Gods was just an artful deception. He wanted to follow in his father’s footsteps as a Christian, so he prayed to God to reveal to him who he truly was. He saw a chi-rho of light in the heavens bearing the inscription, “By this symbol you will conquer.” While he was sleeping the night before the Battle of Milvian, the Christ of God appeared to him with the same sign; commanding him…

The heated debate of paying college athletes and the status of student-athletes as amateurs has been argued often and thoroughly in recent times. With testimonies coming from current and former NCAA Division I athletes about inability to afford basic living amenities such as being able to afford dinner, being able to see a movie with friends, or find time to balance athletics with academics and a social life, media and critics have been arguing whether or not it is time to start paying college…
