"We begged God to accept our lives and our blood and unite them to His life and His blood for the salvation of these tribes."1 This quote gives a small window into the heroism and abandon in which St. Isaac Jogues lived out his call to evangelize the native people of New France (Canada). Driven by a deep admiration for the Jesuit missionaries of Japan and China, he sacrificially dove deep into the culture of those who he lived with. He did this so that Jesus would not not simply come across as a European savior, but as a universal redeemer who speaks to people in their own language, through their own heritage and traditions. Even after facing brutal torture at the hands of the Mohawks, St. Isaac Jogues persisted in spreading the gospel in Canada, trusting that through his sufferng God would bring about salvation.

Being born and raised in lower class New York City I can say the one thing I am proud of most is joining the JROTC Program at Thomas Dale High School. The JROTC Program has shaped me in many ways as a teenager, providing me with discipline, respect, and most importantly a place I can call home.
From past to present, New York has always been known as the icon of the United States. However, in the early 1890’s all the focus and attention was on the middle and upper class, leaving the slums out of the picture. Many people were not aware of the harsh conditions that the unfortunate were making a living out of. Jacob Riis was one of few folks who thought that the poor had more value to them that what most people thought. He decided he would write a magazine article that would eventually get denied publicity because of the disturbing words and photos within, but that didn’t stop him.
