In my experience at first progressive Baptist Church I was very much out of my comfort zone because not only did I not feel as welcomed but it was a little awkward because of all the looks I was receiving. I felt I was not dressed as they were and felt as if I didn't fit in and right away I just didn't feel appropriate with my attire. While I was there I actually had people wanting to shake hands and asking me questions about me coming and there was one man who just stared at me and so it was uncomfortable and didn't know how to react. While I was there I started to notice that there is a little difference from the church I go to and the music was way different as well, everyone will talk back with amen or thank you Jesus. The difference

Preparing for the event was very nerve-racking and I felt extremely anxious and apprehensive. The church attendance was all African Americans and mostly low-income with a mix of young and old. The church itself is very old, established in 1787, and sits in one of Carbondale’s poorer neighborhoods. I have been to this church before though, for work purposes to do a homeless count at the soup kitchen, so I was a little familiar with the church in general. Based on the soup kitchen experience the attendance of people in the church was pretty much as expected.

Likewise, other performers during this event came from Calvary Chapel,Greater White Rose Church of God in Christ,

At Baylor, students coming from a religious non Baptist home with a close network of individual who share their beliefs, may find themselves longing for their religious community once at Baylor. In Derrick Ho’s, a writer for CNN, article, he says, “Homesickness isn't necessarily about home…. It stems from our instinctive need for love, protection and security -- feelings and qualities usually associated with home.” Here Ho is expressing his belief that the lack of familiarity and community in a new place can make someone feel homesick. Ho, in his article also quotes Josh Klapow, a clinical psychologist and associate professor at the University of Alabama's School of Public Health, who said “You're missing what's normal, what is routine, the larger sense of social space, because those are the things that help us survive” (Ho). Religion is a source of identity and a way of life for many students. Without a place to express their faith, it can be difficult. Not having individuals with similar view around, can lead students feeling alone. For non-Baptist students it is not easily assessable to find religious groups because many are not recognized due to refusal to sign the Affirmation Statement. Without recognizing these different religious organization, finding people who have similar ideals may be hard because of Baylor’s large campus.

My favorite thing about Key Club is having access to many community service event. I love volunteering within my community because it is people that I can relate with them living in the same area. I enjoy helping out at the elementaries schools because I have always wanted to be a teacher and being able to have the experience of helping at a school is my absolute favorite thing. I keep doing Key Club every year because I know whenever I help out at service events I have impacted someone with the help I’ve given

Cypress College offers many student services. However after three semesters at Cypress College I can personally say that the library and LRC are one of the most helpful student services in the entire college. As students we all have different schedules, some of work others have tight schedules that make it seem impossible to go print our or work on that paper we need to do. However the LRC and the Library are open from Monday – Friday from 8:00am to 9:00pm there for allowing students to go in at later hours to work on any assignments they may have. Both the library and the Learning resource center have amazing and friendly staff who are always willing to help you in anything you may need. The library counts with hundreds of book that most defiantly

The congregation in Ometepe has grown tremendously in the last few years. Interacting with the people there gave me my first real glimpse of the culture there. Everyone greets one another with either a handshake or a hug. Even the kids were not too shy to introduce themselves. They are proud to show us what they have to us and are very generous with what they

Living in community will expose selfishness, ambition, jealousy, dissension and impurity in ourselves, allowing us to experience loss, despair, and stress. Even so, all of this is important to our spiritual formation because we mature as Christians,

The general tone of the service was that of solemnity. Many of the prayers and songs that were sung called out to God in a way that praised and venerated God by endowing him with titles and appealing to his many qualities and acts He has done for the Jewish people. This style of prayer, along what was said in English, gave the idea that the

In Maryland, 75 hours of community service are required for students to graduate. Getting in the way of many after school activities, students should not be required to have community service hours to get a diploma.

I grew up in a home where volunteering was a fact of life. My dad was a member of

Making sure utensils do not get mix together when making meat or dairy products is also important in the Jewish culture. While the Jewish diet is very strict in its details, the personal appearance has somewhat looser constraints. Most Jewish people dress in what is considered normal attire (such as jeans and regular shirts). However, when attending religious services, men are required to war a “kippah” (head covering), and women must wear long skirts ("Culture and Customs"). As can be seen, while the diet of the Jewish culture may hold stricter requirements, the dress of the culture is almost equivalent to that of the Western society.

In June, while I was visiting the library to borrow some books and movies I saw a sign to sign up for community service over the summer at the library. I took picture of the sign, and when I got home I sent the library an email saying that I want to be part of the volunteering program this summer which they replied to me and ask me to schedule an interview. The interview took place two days consecutive, and there was a lot of teen that wanted to be part of the summer volunteering. When I got to the interview, there was three other that also schedule an interview the same time with me since they usually hold up four people for an interview. They asked me questions about my participant at school, talent, experience, and skills. After they finished with the oral interviewing, they told the four of us to take a short test on Dewey decimal which they had to do with the way the library organize their items. When I got home, I wasn’t sure if my interview was the best one or not but I’m sure that if I don’t get it, it’s still an experience interview for me later in life. A few weeks later, I got an email from the library saying that I got accepted into their summer volunteering program, and they ask me to start on June 13, but I wasn’t able to because I was in Los Angeles attending my older brother graduation but I know that I was lucky to get in the program. They rescheduled me to work on June 22 as my first day instead of June 13, 2016. When I came in to work, I found an inner

The first major religion I am going to examine is Islam. Religious roles are mainly imposed on women in Islam through the clothing they are required to wear. Clothing is tied very close to ones’ self-identity, as Waseem Fayyaz and Anila Kamal tell us in “Practicing Hijab (veil): A Source of Autonomy and Self-esteem for Modern Muslim Women.” They write, “The attire we wear is also strongly connected with identity. It is related with the sense of one’s self Different classes of society wear different dress to mark their status and position in society. Kings and ruling elite have worn heavy and elaborate robes while public clothing has been simple. We use different uniforms to mention our jobs or institutions. People of different cultures wear different dresses. Besides culture and region where we live, dress code is also determined by the faith we espouse. This way dress becomes a symbol of one’s
