Shapur I

As the time of a freshman, I was approached by a young adult leader that was facilitated with Young Life. In the beginning I had numerous questions I did not know the answer to. She introduced me to the club talks and bible studies and after a few months I decided I would get more active in this organization. I was invited to attend a summer camp at Rockbridge. I was indecisive at first, but decided to go for it. A week worth of bible studies…

and i’m going to tell you about it. It was June 5 2015, wich was my birthday. We got out of school and got on an airplane at the Idaho Falls airport. It was my first time on an airplane and it was my birthday so, the pilot let me sit in the cockpit. I videoed the take off on my Ipod and loved the whole ride. When we left Idaho falls it was cold, and when we landed in the Phoenix, Arizona it was really hot. We figured out our rental car was at the Mesa airport, not the Phoenix, so we got into a…

of 2016 began on May 22, when my parents told me we were going on a cruise that summer. I was very surprised at this. Every year we go to Hunting Island State Park to camp on the beach for about two weeks. I was very disappointed that we weren't going this year but I was also excited to go on on my first cruise. I did not know what to expect or if it would be any fun at all. On June twentieth, my family and I boarded a plane to fly to Fort Lauderdale. We arrived two days before we were allowed…

and it gives the perpetrator the easy way out of punishment. The only advantage I see is that it will stop serial murders from continuing to kill because even in prison they can still commit those crimes. The main reason we as a society punish people for committing crimes is to prevent more future crimes. Punishment for crimes has changed from decapitation and hanging people to incarceration and lethal injections. I believe that the best punishment for crime is to spend the rest of the person’s…

Governmental Cycles in the Roman Empire Rome was the one of the most influential empires in history. Present-day countries, such as the United States, look up to Rome for its remarkable accomplishments: its invention of civil law, representative practices. However, with the impressive resume it has, Rome still fell in 476 C.E. The reason for Rome’s decline is still debated by scholars today. Some believe it was the rise of Christianity that hurt Rome while others state the weakening of the…

died.) Those are the things I do know. There are a lot of facts I don’t about Sparta. I have three major questions. They are the following: what was the real training regiment for the boys of Sparta versus the myths and legends that are circulating in the world today, what were the roles…

Wisconsin. As she walked into Cabin 4, she dropped her phone. “Oh shoot” she said. As she went to pick it up, she saw the all too familiar green, dirty converse. “Elise!” she squealed with a grin on her face. Elise hugged her and replied “Caroline, I missed you.” Elise had been Caroline’s best friend since Kindergarten, but when she moved two hours away in 5th grade, they no longer got to see each other. However, they always went to Camp Bugnee together, and always stayed in Cabin 4. Then,…

Christianity was a religion brought to us to promote division,not unity. There are many examples of Christianity dividing people,and separating their values.These examples consist of, the persecutions,The Great Schism,and all the divisions of the whole Christian religion. A lot of people argue that Christianity was brought to us to provide unity,and others argue it was created for division,which makes no sense because why would any create something to promote division. The Great Schism was…

The Roman and Han Empires were the greatest empires in history. Both empires showed great military forces, strived in economic trade, and their territories covered vasts amounts of land, yet they both had an unfortunate collapse. Although the Roman and Han empires are similar politically and socially in that there was conflict between the statuses there were also differences. In both Imperial Rome and Han China there was a social unrest during the collapses of the empires. The society of the Han…

the two hour car ride there, one friend, I’ll call her A (I don’t want to use any names), threatened to reveal a long-time secret kept between her and another of my friends who was also my boyfriend, J, which had the codename of “Muskrat.” I was very eager to figure out what exactly was going on, and had been since I first heard about Muskrat two or three months prior. I knew it had to do with J and I, but I wasn’t sure quite what. The best I could think of was that it was all fake, and just a…
