Yolanda Adams

hospital because our momma had died! I was in shock, and not only was I in her house, but I was sleeping in her bed when I got the call. I cried all the way to the hospital. Once we got there, I was so nervous and shook up I did not want to see my mother dead but I knew I had too. Once we got the room number and proceeded in, I blanked out. My mother was cold and swollen; she was DEAD! I kept rubbing her arms as they were cold. It made things worse for me, no lie. They began telling us that the chapel was about to come pick up the body and at this point, I was just trying to catch my breath because I literally was out of breath. As we left the hospital, I began to listen to church music, especially a song called “I’m Going to be Ready” by Yolanda Adams. All I could say was this had been a weekend for me and I still had funeral arrangements to make. As the days and years pass by, I’m getting stronger day by day but there is not a day that passes that I don’t think and wish she was still here with me. Every year on Mother’s Day, I cannot stay in church; I eventually walk out crying. It’s a hard pill to swallow, especially when you’re young. It showed me how to grow up and take care of my responsibilities as a grown women. I tell all my friends that you get one mother, so you better cherish her and spend every moment you can with her because someday she will be gone, like mine.…

Team Experience Working with others has not been difficult for me. Two reasons I believe this occurs are I always challenge myself to do great work and I am also patient with other people. Unfortunately, these are two traits I suspect contributed to a challenging team experience, from which I was able to learn a lesson. I believe these are quality traits, essential for me to be able to do any good group work with other people. As such, I will need to continue to employ them, but in a…

My choose of experience that I chose was working at a basketball summer youth camp that served children who were between the ages of 7-14. I ultimately decided to choose this experience because it was a sense of returning back to my community and helping those who enjoy engaging in physical activities. It also let me build relationships with children that I will help me in my future professional goals. Also, I think it has helped me prepare for my current job. This experience connects with my…

Once again, Salinger wasn’t oblivious to the meanings behind each character’s name. In fact, symbolism plays a part in the character Sybil Carpenter. “Sybil, bright with innocence but already tarnishing, symbolizes for Seymour the human condition: like the sibyls of old, she is the unconscious oracle through whom the prophecy is revealed, the instrument of truth” (Lane). A sibyl is defined as “a woman in ancient times supposed to utter the oracles and prophecies of a god” (“sibyl”). It is…

completely. “When asked who and what it was, it gave different identities. It once stated that it was the witch of a neighbor woman named Kate Batts.” She used to come out, so the people gave it a name from one of it’s identities “Kate the Bell Witch”. It seemed that Kate had two main reasons for visiting the Bell home. The main one was to kill John Bell. For what reason no one knows because Kate never gave a reason why. The other reason was to stop john’s daughter from marrying a certain boy…

footprints, no boats, no people. We’re on an uninhabited island with no other people” (Golding, 30-31). Just like how the boys were the first on the island, Adam and Eve were the first people in the garden and on Earth. Before Adam and Eve were planted in the garden it was an untouched area where nothing could go wrong, but once Adam and Eve came, it no longer had its “untouched beauty”. Once the boys arrive on the island its “untouched beauty” it once had fades away. Finally, in both the novel…

The story of Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden is one of the oldest and best known in the West. The power that this story has comes not just from the Bible, but also from its depiction of evil, of people 's impulses, and of its presentiation of temptation. In the Bible the Garden of Eden is described as perfect. Because the serpent tempted Eve to want to be more perfect, humans fell and became imperfect. This story is now often used in modern advertising, which also promises improvements in…

The Realistic Creation Story Growing up going to a Catholic school, and being a very religious person I have studied, and read The Bible, I have gone as far as tattooing Psalm 23:4 on my body. So, you could say that I have a personal connection to what is written in The Bible. Saying that, from as young as I can remember to my age now, the creation story in Genesis has been a story that is repeated often, but the creation story has always confused me a great deal. The reason being, is due to…
