Derek’s death, it made me realize that life can be very short. We do not get to decide when our life ends, only God decides that factor. However, we can choose to make the most of our life while we are here on this Earth. I am choosing Colorado Christian University, because I believe there is more to life than just going through the motions. I believe God has sent us here for a purpose. I want that Christian education, instead of a state education where I’m just going through the motions to get…

mine until about two years ago. At that point in my life obtaining a degree fell to the wayside. However, after a series of events, I’m back on track to receive one and I’m thrilled about it. Now that I’ve started my educational career at Colorado Christian University, I have three other goals for myself while studying. Those goals are to maintain straight A’s, find ways to apply what I’m learning into my life at the present time, and to share with others what I’m learning as I go along. I…

us with instruction to fulfill the “Great Commission.” As simple as the Gospel Truth is, there are many questions raised that challenge the importance and validity of the message. Pursuing the associates program in Biblical Studies at Colorado Christian University would provide a greater foundation of understanding how to approach these challenges in a loving, Christ-centered approach that I feel would ultimately help alleviate personal biases, removing me from the picture while allowing the…

Introduction Even when Temple Grandin was a baby, she seemed different. She was very silent and didn’t respond; in her toddler years she had temper tantrums but never said anything. Then, a few years later she was diagnosed with “infant schizophrenia”, a type of autism. Her father wanted her in a mental institution; her mom wanted her to go to school. Key Idea 1 What is Autism?: Finding out the news that Temple had autism was a little too much for her dad, Richard, he was disgusted by his…

Temple was diagnosed with autism as a young child, But she overcame the expectations of others and became one of the most well-known animal scientist in America. She was born on August, 29 1947 in Boston, MA. She has won over 20 awards since she became an animal scientist. As a young child Grandin dreaded the sound of the school bell unlike most kids who loved hearing it. She found loud, sharp, or ringing sounds very irritating. Temple found that most ordinary sensations were almost torture for…

Who is Temple Grandin? Temple Grandin is the creator of the most peaceful way a cow is transported to the slaughter house. It all ties back to her autism, as a kid she would see things through a cow's eyes, which made her able to create a system that cows can comfortably and safely transport to a slaughter house. She could see things that threw a cow such as what makes the cow uncomfortable and stop the heard from moving forward. It’s amazing how she is tied closely in a connection with these…

In a person’s life there are often experiences and life events that occur that truly mold and shape that individual’s life. Often times these experiences or occurrences help this person to either better themselves, or lead them into a direction they are meant to go. Though the ideal situation is to have pleasant events happen, sometimes even the most tragic events can be great eye openers. I can certainly attest to this statement. Four years ago my father passed away from pancreatic cancer, and…

Two would be because of the degree I’m pursuing, psychology. I want the background biblically based so that I will have a different perspective from other individuals in the field. That’s when I remembered what I had heard on K-Love, Colorado Christian University. Since going through the many trails and having the experiences that I’ve had, I am more mature and ready to complete my education. Now that I am enrolled and just starting my education with CCU, it brings me a lot of joy and excitement…

A chamber of commerce is a voice. It is a voice for the people of the community. A chamber of commerce further develops and protects the best interest of local businesses and the community. In many cases the concept of what exactly a chamber of commerce is goes above the heads of several individuals, when in reality the duties range vastly but all coincide while aspiring toward the same goal. They are here for us to serve, me, you, and us, the people of the community. Hot Springs Village is a…
