Recommended: Experience in high school life

When I was in high school and had the opportunity to go abroad for a year, I had lots of doubt. I had my life planned, in one way or another. I was going to graduate high school, go to college, then medical school, then become a doctor. I knew, beyond a shadow of a doubt that that is what I wanted to do. But then, God put this opportunity in my life that I hadn’t planned on. Granted, it wasn’t a decision like that of Esther. There was danger, sure, but more than that, there was the fear of failure and the worry that taking that opportunity would change my plans. But, I went for it. And guess what, it did change my life, my plan, my view of my own existence. It gave me the opportunity to see the world in a different way. It gave me the opportunity to see and know God in a totally different way. I stand here this morning certain that had I not taken that opportunity, my life would have turned out very different and I likely would not be here. I would not have met my wife, I would not have Ian and Mia, and I would have missed out on an opportunity that God had put in my path so that ...

  • Mental Illness In Sylvia Plath's The Bell Jar

    “How could I write about life when I’d never had a love affair or a baby or even seen anybody die? A girl I knew had just won a prize for a short story about her adventures among the pygmies in Africa. How could I compete with that sort of thing?” (page 121). Her dissatisfaction with her own life as well as the comparison to one of her peers adds a level of unhappiness that many people experience, but is rarely written about. Usually, the protagonist leads an action packed life that somehow ends with happiness, and don’t have time to envy others or feel unhappy with their own accomplishments. That is why Esther’s journey is different, and why it’s important. Her story is not extraordinary, but that doesn’t make it unimportant.

    Working with Chase and Anita on this group project turned out to be a successful experience. Considering the fact that the two out of three of us are athletes with time consuming schedules, I believe we did a really acceptable job of staying on each of our tasks and completing our individual research. We discussed our reading assignments in advance and each agreed that the three of us would take responsibility for one out of the three books. This best worked for our group due to the fact that we had contradicting class schedules. At first, I thought that this would hinder our progress, but in the end we completed the task at hand and everything came together. We brought our work together and tied it all into one presentation, which in my opinion,

    I was riding to the grocery store with my close friend, Jordon, to help her shop for groceries to take to her sister’s track meet. We both had recently gone through tough break-ups, and were discussing that in the car ride over to the grocery store. Eventually, I began telling her how my break-up led me to a closer relationship with God and allowed me to realize that he has an unconditional love for us and that is why he sent his son Jesus Christ to die on the cross for us. Once this conversation was initiated, I asked her the first five questions from the ‘Share Jesus Without Fear’ presentation.

  • College Admissions Essay: Why I Want To Attend University

    507 Words  | 2 Pages

    Growing up, I have always had this desire in me that someday I wanted to go to college and become valuable. I want to be successful in this life that I had been given and to become the women that God has created me to be. Graduating High School was the first step that I needed to accomplish before obviously moving on to the next step in my education. I graduated high school, took a year off of schooling and then started that next chapter in my life. I dedicated myself to one year of Bible College, and while I was there learning God’s word, my Creator began to mold me in who He wanted me to be inwardly. After that year of Bible College ended, I decided with God’s leading that I was not going to return that next fall. I did not know what His reasoning for me to not return; all I

  • Servant Evangelism

    Every week I go to Miami, Florida to minister to the broken, bruised, and homeless. I tend to use the Servant Evangelism method because I believe it displays authenticity and makes people receptive to the Gospel. Instead of just presenting the Gospel, I follow James 2:16, which says, "and one of you says to them, “Go in peace, be warmed and filled,” without giving them the things needed for the body, what good is that?"  Therefore, I make sure to provide food and water before I share the Gospel with the homeless.

    This particular servant evangelism occurred through Campus Serve at the Birchwood apartments. We went out as a group and then split into smaller groups to knock on doors, talk to the parents, and pray for them if they wanted us to. After this the kids went down to the playground area for us to play with them. I primarily played with one girl, whose name was Zaname. Throughout the time we were there that day I played tag with Zaname, gave her piggy back rides, went on the swings with her, allowed her to do my hair, got her water, and watched her play Flappy Bird on my phone. After a while of playing with all of the children, a lesson was done on Abraham’s promise from God to have offspring as numerous as the stars, and to one day have Jesus come to earth to deliver us from our sins. I sat down with Zaname and helped to explain the story to her. Afterwards, the leader said a prayer for all of

  • Paul's Letter

    959 Words  | 2 Pages

    When studying the Gospel message of Jesus Christ, many scholars regard the book of Romans as the most important of the apostle Paul’s letters. (Knight & Ray, 2005) This is perhaps because it contains the most in-depth exploration of Christian theology, namely justification through faith in Jesus Christ. (Hinson & Towns, 2013)The letter, especially chapters one through eight, contains a summary of what embodies a Christian worldview. Since Paul wrote to both the Jewish and Gentile believers in Rome, he provided for them, as well as readers today, a biblical perspective that answers questions about the natural world, human identity, human relationships, and culture.

  • My Granny: The Most Important Paths In My Life

    702 Words  | 2 Pages

    Throughout the life I have realized that life is all about our feelings toward people around us. That’s what changes someone’s idea about their life, aims, and most important; paths of their lives. As Joan Didion says “Life changes in the instant. The ordinary instant.” Life always gives us a golden chance to know how precious is every moment that we breathe in and out, and the time that we get to spend with our beloved ones. All this came to me when I lost the most important person in my life, My Granny. She was the best, that’s what every grand child might say about their grandparents, but my granny was special. Since she was sick for approximately forty years, she wasn’t able to walk. Sometimes I think of, if I get to ask God one question
