Personal Narrative: Lion Of Juda
God had given me a revelation where I held on to a microphone before a medium size crowd. Everything was black and white. Then I walked down the left aisle to the back room. As soon as I woke up from this dream, I called my pastor Silvia Clase Diaz and shared with her such revelation. After few days had gone by, my Pastor received an invitation to a vigil at the Congregation Lion of Juda, one of the largest Spanish churches in the Boston Area. My pastor was asked to preach and I was asked to sing a total of three worship songs. I was terrified, yet joyful. I went to God's presence and thanked Him every night for the opportunity he had given my Pastor and I. I usually preferred to sing acapella, however, I decided not to only challenge myself,

    A time when I took the lead in solving a problem in my community was when I chose my Eagle Project. I wanted my project to impact as many people as possible and I also wanted to give back to the organization that had sponsored my scout troop for so long. I looked over the church grounds and found a need. The church, borders the Harpeth River in Franklin, TN and members can choose to have baptisms done in the river. The problem that existed was that the baptismal site wasn’t safe for those partaking in it or viewing it. The riverbank is steep and there wasn’t a safe place for families to view the event. An old triangular deck was present, but it was small, not adequately anchored and had poorly attached rope rails. My goal was to construct a…

    At the beginning of the year it felt like I would have never been able to write any paper that was more than two pages long, it just seemed impossible, but for the research paper I actually had to stop myself from going off and writing a twelve page paper. I will admit and say that English is not my strong suit, in fact it is probably one of my more difficult classes. But just because it is difficult does not mean I don’t like it. I like looking for topics that interest me and still fit in with the guidelines, I like getting involved in the paper and researching the topic until it feels like my head is about to explode. I never saw any of that coming, I thought that I was going to have to go through English and just pray…

    Hello I am Kiowa’s lieutenant from the Alpha Company, I would like to give some background information about me to you guys. I am a sophomore in college and I had joined up for the Reserve Officer Training Corps because it was worth a few credits and few of my friends had joined, making me want to join.

    I love music and children; therefore I found a way to blend the two together by creating a music ministry for the children of my church and those in my community. When I initially came to my current church three years ago, I realized there was no music ministry for the children thus I wanted to start one. I had been singing since the age of 2 and have had several opportunities to sing at events such as my Kindergarten graduation, and many other occasions throughout elementary, middle and high school. Once the minister of music became aware of my vocal abilities, he quickly asked me to sing solos and I did. However, I was the only young person singing at the church and I wanted to change that. So I spoke to some adults and organized the first children’s choir of my church. Two weeks after its inception, the children’s choir performed their first song, “I Am a Promise, I Am a Possibility” to an…

    There has been many cases in which I have helped an outsider feel welcome. One time in particular is when I played tag with this little boy at church since he was new and no one else played with him. Originally, I was outside eating candy and talking to my friends at church. I noticed that this little boy was standing all alone watching all the other little kids play without him. I thought that maybe he was upset so I went over to him and asked if he wanted the rest of my gummy worms. He seemed nervous at first, but eventually he started talking to me. I learned that he was five years old and he was visiting his grandparents for the weekend. His older brother was outside playing basketball with some of the other older boys at the church, and…

    I can recall the Sunday in which I lead my first song. I sang “I Worship You” by Mary Mary. At first, I was crying because I was nervous, and then I thought about how good God had been to me. When the song was first given to me, it was kind of forced on me. I didn’t know anything about singing, let alone leading a song. I was very complacent about learning the lyrics, also. Not knowing what the Lord had in store for me, I really brushed the song off.…

    The Narrative of the Captivity and Restoration of Mrs. Mary Rowlandson is a personal account, written by Mary Rowlandson in 1682, of what life in captivity was like. Her narrative of her captivity by Indians became popular in both American and English literature. Mary Rowlandson basically lost everything by an Indian attack on her town Lancaster, Massachusetts in 1675; where she is then held prisoner and spends eleven weeks with the Wampanoag Indians as they travel to safety. What made this piece so popular in both England and America was not only because of the great narrative skill used be Mary Rowlandson, but also the intriguing personality shown by the complicated character who has a struggle in recognizing her identity. The reoccurring idea of food and the word remove, used as metaphors throughout the narrative, could be observed to lead to Mary Rowlandson's repression of anger, depression, and realization of change throughout her journey and more so at the end of it.…
