Personal Narrative: My Ohio Mission Trip
In my freshman year, I went to Ohio Mission Trip, which was led by Mrs. Lundquist. While I had an amazing life experience through volunteering, I was able to become closer to my friends and upper classmen. Darby and Sydney Lundquist also joined the trip, and they shortly introduced me about Washington and Lee University. I assumed the college should be very advanced since they were well-known for their excellence in intelligence and sports. This year I attended a college meeting with Mr. Webster to get to know more about the college. It was a great opportunity for me to grasp a big picture of the school as well as more specific details of admissions. I immediately fell in love with the school as Mr. Webster explained about the school in detail.

    Personal Narrative: My Eagle Project

    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…

    Personal Narrative: My Visit To Christianity

    I never thought how interesting it would be to visit a different place of worship besides Christianity. Since the day I was born I’ve been a Christian and whatever anyone else believes in is wrong and that they are going to hell if they don’t believe in Christianity. About 3 years ago I visited the International Buddhist Progress Society a Buddhist temple in Naperville. Buddhism from what I learned looks more like a way of life or guidelines to it rather than a religion. Buddhism tells you how you could live life better but doesn’t scare you with the prospect of hell instead you live with ignorance. My own history with Christianity still made me doubt or fear the conquences of going to this temple. Part of me believed that I be punished by…

    Personal Narrative: My Eagle Vision Application

    “Teely, because I’m so interested in seeing you apply with your Eagle Vision Application…” Central University. “An exclusive invitation from UNCP..” UNC Pembroke. “Mai-Teelee, you’ll want to read this.” Western Carolina. All these colleges and universities showed interest in me by reaching out through emails and letters in the mail but, it wasn’t them whom I was interested in. It was you, UNC Chapel Hill. The first time I heard about you was back in my sophomore year, in AP Environmental Science by a group of classmates who had visited the campus. At that time, I didn’t care that much for colleges. I was still worried about joining clubs and trying to make more friends and just, have fun. Like any other teenager. However, I became intrigued. Just what was it that made this school so well known and liked? Once I decided that I would aim for the medical field, my friends suggested, of course, Chapel Hill. You. They said “It’s a great medical school and you’ll get in easily because you’re Asian.” And being naive, I believed them. I didn’t quite realize just how high your expectations were. But it wouldn’t be too difficult I assumed…

    Personal Narrative: The Appalachian Walk

    Yesterday me and my Dad went on an 11ish mile hike on the Appalachian Trail. This hike was probably one of the coolest hikes I've been on. It went from one beautiful landscape to another. As I was laying in bed that night with my muscles aching from the extra 1.5 miles we didn't plan on, I realized I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for my Dad. He introduced me to my love of the outdoors and my passion to hike the entire AT. I hope one day ,Dad, we can stand on Mount Katahdin together and look back at the 2190 miles behind…

    Personal Narrative: My Mission Trip To Haiti

    Entering into the poorest country in the Western Hemisphere opened my eyes to see things in a plethora of ways and has changed my attitude on life. I learned a lot about myself, God, and others as a result from this missions trip and I saw myself grow in many different aspects too. I came to realize in Haiti, how important it is to work well with others, and that I am able to convey this action smoothly. Working with others is such an important skill to have as working with people is a proficiency we will need for the rest of our lives no matter the profession one takes on. Unfortunately, I was also enlightened that being put in an uncomfortable situation, like traveling to a foreign country, can be mentally and physically tough and that I am not one to take charge during those vexatious times. But it was time for me to grow in that area of vulnerability by and stepping out of my comfort zone and therefore…

    Personal Narrative: My Journey To Asheville

    I'm exploring various areas for retirement, which include Raleigh/Durham, and possibly Asheville, for visits up to six months of the year. Hopefully, I will meet gentlemen who face a similar journey, and who are able to connect on a platonic level, as I am only a part-timer in the USA, and selective. I am looking for the obvious-a mutual connection, trust and loyalty, before I commit to a serious relationship. If high strung, driven without thought or care, or you perceive me as too transient, or you are overly intrigued and nosy, then I am not an appropriate match.…

    The person I choice to interview this week just like last week is also someone I turn to when I am faced with questions and concerns regarding all of my biblical classes and sometimes just personal spiritual questions. That person is my pastor and my father in law who has been a southern Baptist preacher for over thirty years. Of those thirty years he has only been pastor of two churches both, which have been very successful while he was and is presently the pastor. When we talk about anything and everything overall we have a great relationship. I choose to interview him this week because I knew he would be able to show me the more experienced side of his ministry because of his years of serving the lord.…

    Opportunity To Visit To Oberlin College

    I remember the first time that I encountered Oberlin College: I was nine-years-old and had just learned that colleges hadn’t always admitted women or African-Americans, and found that Oberlin was the first school to admit both. So, when I stumbled upon an Oberlin booth at my school’s college fair six years later, Oberlin was already a familiar name, but as I explored the options available at the school, I found that it also fits my interests.…
