When I first started thinking about college schools I never thought about going to MSU or Ole Miss. I wanted to go to the bigger universities, but I knew I wouldn’t do well if I went there my first year. My high school did not prepare me enough for University, and I hadn’t decided on a major either. I choose East Central Community College (ECCC) as the school I would go to for many reasons, and when I got here I knew I made the right choice.

Cameron Academy, the place where it all started for me. The first ever school that I had gone to. It was the place where I learned to fear anyone older and bigger than you because the teenagers there were not above fighting kindergarteners. Where I learned that the safest place to be after school was the office because the fights between the police and the students that took place outside on the front steps of the school were too brutal for me to witness; at least that's what my mom told me. That school was the place where I learned to be ashamed of any art that I may produce, to always keep it to myself, lest I be laughed at by the teachers. Cameron Academy is where I learned that “bad” kindergarteners who were in Ms. Valorie’s class got beat up.

Ever since then he had wanted his own horse for riding. It was an ordinary day in 3rd grade for Mike Clark. He had been in Mrs.Kruschels class learning away. The school day was completely normal everything just as it usually was learning all the subjects, but of course he was thinking about horses and how he would love his own. The end of the school day came fast. Next thing he knows he’s on the bus on his way home ready to make that exhausting one mile walk home, but to his surprise his mom was waiting for him when he got off the bus.

Elisabeth Godwin tossed and turned, as she laid in bed on Tuesday night. The rushing sound of free falling rain drifted into her sleep. It's those same dreams that have kept her up, in the dead of the night, over the last several months. Haunting her. Beckoning her to cross over to the other side. It was as if, satan himself, knew the calling God had placed upon her. He sought with all his strength to convert her before she accepted Christ.

The front gate said "Sobibor". I had heard stories of people at Sobibor, and those stories were not pretty. With the numbers of people shortening fast, Sobibor meant they were about to get shorter. As usual, we had to go to role call. We were all counted for, and
How sufficient are these models for spiritual care today? Many care receivers are commonly oppressed by stereotypical social standards. This means that the society has not embraced and respect diversity. In this regard, it is very important for caregiver to acknowledge the diversity of care receivers to help them to be liberate from the oppressions with sincere cares. Especially, cultures and theology should not be judged by other cultural or theological criteria. Given this, Carrie Doehring starts her pastoral care from acknowledging alterity. She argues, “Trust deepens when care seekers sense that caregivers will respect the mystery of who they are – they alterity.” From this, care givers need to know who care seekers are with understanding their inner-self to care them, respecting them. Therefore, understanding the lived theology of care seekers will help care givers to understand who
