Post Trip Reflection Paper I signed up early in the summer for the six day long Odyssey 38 Adventure WV. I heard about it through a friend who highly enjoyed their trip. There were 18 students and 4 leaders on my trip. We could only pack a certain amount of items to fit into an 18-gallon tub and I proudly fit all my gear. The whole week felt rustic due to the fact that there was limited toiletries, food was simple, and we slept in tents for a few nights. Overall, I enjoyed the trip and would…

Egyptian architecture developed during the dynastic period in the Nile Valley regions of Egypt and Nubia. The types of architectures that are found in Egypt are: sculptures, monuments, and pyramids. During ancient Egypt building great monuments and structures was sign of power. Construction was also a normal task a male would busy themselves with. According to the text in Cultures of the West it states, “Statues of the kings adorned every temple; inscriptions praising their magnificence…

we forget. Hollywood at one point produced many movies dipicting biblical stories, maybe it can be saved. They have been doing remakes of very popular biblical movies. A well liked movie was Passion of the Christ which was directed by Mel Gibson, I was unable to understand his religious background, but he believes you cannot be saved outside of the church. Keep in mind that religion is abused by people because it is a big business and is being capitalized on by just about anyone, well…

el-Bahri. The temple is located on a sharp half-circle which is on the cliffs on the west bank of the Nile River. It guards the entrance to the Valley of Kings (Hirst, 2016). When Hatshepsut started building monuments she stayed more along the Nile river shoreline and her capital at Thebes. Even though Hatshepsut opened trade up again when she received lavish gifts she would give them to her patron god Aumn. It is said that Hatshepsut had introduced royal tombs to the Valley of Kings but there…

every moment I saw the teacher walk by me in the classroom. I could feel my breath getting heavier and heavier. I looked up and the teacher said “Everyone focus on your test paper or it will not be marked”, then proceeded to write my test. All the answers were written on my hand and my eraser. Two weeks earlier before this dreaded moment, I was locked up in my room playing the latest Call of Duty Black Ops game with my friends on my brand new Play Station 3. All of them were excited and I…

By the time Venetian Commander Pietro Mocenigo reached Greece, the Ottoman Turks had greatly expanded in the eastern Mediterranean and were threatening Venetian interests in the region. This was a true clash of opposites; the Venetians were a Christian, seafaring people and the Ottomans, conversely, were Muslims who preferred to travel and fight by land. The only thing these two empires seemed to have in common was their penchant for trading, a similarity that became one of the prime ingredients…

“ If I had, their hordes of spies would have found out about it, and they would have put me to a most horrible death. I could not even trust my nearest relatives. That is why I was compelled to hide the real explanation of many matters glossed over in my previous books.” ( Procopius, Excerpts from secret history, Page 1) Procopius was doing the right thing when he was glorifying Justinian government because it gave people the sense that they can trust him and to trust what he write. I think…

On a late Monday night in November, I had the chance to attend an Alcoholic Anonymous support group hosted in a church called Forest Hills Presbyterians church. The support group name was not the typical name we mostly hear about an AA group, the name was Progress Not Perfection. Which made me question if it was an AA support group or a group for other meeting but it turned out to be an AA support group. The purpose of the group is for alcoholic individuals to come together and exchange support…

Constantine was one of the greatest emperors during the time of the Roman Empire. Christianity helped the Roman empire from not collapsing and Constantine found a way to improve both Christianity and Rome. Christianity took the blame for all problems the empire faced, Constantine was a great ruler and was the reason Rome was saved, and Constantine brought Rome and Christianity together by making it the religion of Rome. This allowed Rome to flourish and it is credited to Constantine and…
