Vivian Rider My Mentor “Talk to me.” Every time I had an upset or quiet demeanor that leads to shutting myself down from friends and class participation, my elementary school teacher would constantly show her concern when nobody else would. Life isn’t easy and it took me a long time to understand that. Letting others into my life without hesitating isn’t so scary as I thought it would be. Sometimes being alone is the best, but restraining from destroying myself is being strong. What makes me…

will have been busy around the time: we took early celebration. The check in starts 10:15, so we departed our house around eight am just in case the traffic is heavy. Recently, I have seen many car accidents on highway. I did not miss the wine train ride due to the traffic problems. We arrived the train station 9:45 am. I was so happy to see the train station since it was my first time wine train ride. Raymond has ridden twice. He guided and snowed me the station. There were a lounge, gift shops…

Through the rise Monasticism, both secular and religious advancements were made. After the fall of the Roman Empire in the fifth century, Monasticism rose out of a desire to leave civilization, which had been overtaken by the brutal Germanic Tribes, and devote oneself entirely to prayer and asceticism, in order to imitate Christ. Though the Monastic life of prayer and asceticism gave a new life to the faith and also evangelized the Germanic Tribes. Because of this rapid conversion of the…

Mongkut’s Modern Mission “Getting to know you…” Many people might know this famous song from Rodger and Hammerstein’s Tony award winning Broadway musical The King and I. This musical follows Anna Leonowens, a Western school teacher, to Bangkok, Siam, modern day Thailand. She becomes the governess to King Rama IV of Bangkok’s, more commonly known as King Mongkut,children.

leaders delayed baptizing such men until just before death,” (3). I personally believe Constantine knew he would continue to commit sinful actions and did not want to be held back because of a commitment to a religion through baptism. If Constantine knew he would continue to sin, there would be no reason for him to get baptized. Religiously speaking, Baptism was meant to wash away any sins committed, the start of a new life. Also, I believe Constantine might have gotten baptized after his death…

Who am I as a learner and global citizen is as follows, This will also link to my goals as a learner. One of my Goals is to truly be myself, and not listen when people judge me and all the stuff that they just throw in my face, but you can just ignore it and put it down.

One of my school goals is to try not to chop into so much trouble,…

The Flinders Ranges On Friday we left the campsite at 9.00 and enjoyed visiting the Railway museum at Peterborough. During this tour (led by a newbie who needed to read her notes), Ben decided on his career move. He was going to obtain a railway and run a steam engine for tourists. Over the next few days this was more solidified in his mind. While walking into Wilpena Pound, there were many animated and detailed discussions on how he could make a request to the South Australian Government…

Pliny was a civil servant of the governor of Bithynia from 111.113 A.D. This letter from Pliny to Trajan is one of the most famous letter in the history of Christianity, written around 112 A.D., which he wrote when he met Christians for the first time in his district and didn’t know how to deal with them. At first, he did few things but, then he thought to write a letter to the Emperor of Trajan describing what he had done so far and asking for the guidance for the coming days. This famous…

of the experiences I am currently still going through. It’s been a crazy emotional roller coaster for me, especially being young and still living at home. When I found out I was pregnant, I didn’t know what to do. I was scared to tell the father of my baby, but more terrified to tell my parents. I had plans for my future that did not involve having a baby. This is my experience of being in school and pregnant. First I thought it was just the flu, but this flu was nothing like I had ever…

Detention he said. I simply asked “why?”. He replied with a stern, touch-too-loud tone of voice and said “don’t argue with me Ms Elizabeth. I will see you after school.” So after debating whether or not to go I decided to show up to this undeserved detention. Usually detention is a class of people and we all just have to sit there and do work or something, but I walked in and I was the only one. Mr Hensley was sitting at the back of the class reading a book titled ‘Lolita’. He knew it was my…
