Life Reflection Paper

While being at public school my whole life, I was never able to learn about the Bible or speak about my faith. I got blessed with the ability to go to a Christian school and getting to have a bible class at EC has been such a blessing, but getting the chance to plan chapel weekly and being in a smaller group with people who have such a close relationship with Christ is an opportunity I really want to take. I love to share my opinion and have conversations while being in class, but the past three

Throughout a person’s life, one is constantly making choices and decisions. From measly daily decisions to drastic life changing choices, one often does not realize that these choices could shape and transform a person into who he or she embodies today. Many times ordinary daily decisions are not dire, but as one travels down the winding road of life, he or she sometimes can run into a bump in the road that can change one’s life forever. Excruciating pain rushed through my body faster than the

A time in my life I faced a hard trail compared to Odysseus's, was when my favorite sixth and seventh grade English teacher Mrs.TG died. That day was really rough, when I found out. I was very sad and upset and I could not believe that it was true, that this was real and not just a horrible nightmare in my dreams. This trial in my life of my favorite teacher dying, relates to "The Odyssey", because in the book there is a part in the underworld where Odysseus finds out that his mother

When traumatic events take place, no one has time to stop to think or take a breath and watch their life drastically change before their eyes. You don't think of those things at just three years old. The last thing I was imagining was that I would eventually learn from my hardships and grow as a person. Several years later, I realized my true purpose on a simple school day my sophomore year of high school. As a sophomore, I remember worrying about the daily rumors and antics in the hallways like

diverse backgrounds. These are the stories of our lives. Katee’s first time to register for college was January 3, 2017. She was nervous and excited to embark on this new life journey. When school started, a few days later, she arrived at school extra early to walk around and get familiar with the campus. Katee said,” My goal in life is to become a doctor of psychology in marriage and family counseling”, when asked by her English instructor, “what is your goals for college.” The University of Conway

city. She stated that she just lost her son and went through a divorce with her husband two weeks ago. As she was pouring out her problems, I listened to her. She started to cry and stated she was overwhelmed with things that was happening in her life. I asked her if I could pray for her and

weight because of how lazy I was but, hey they were right ha-ha I was always one of those inactive type of guys. So finally, one day I told myself is there a way for me to change who I used to be because life isn’t just about, just getting by for now so I know I have a second chance to change my life cause my story isn’t just over here it’s just barely begun. That same year I decided to quit my football career and buy a gym membership since I knew that football workouts would not get me to where I wanted

Have you ever found yourself asking God to take you out of a rough season of your life? Your prayer may even look something like this “God, get me out of this mess.” We get consumed with our distress that we often miss the development. I will speak more on our personal and leadership development in the next blog. When was the last time you found yourself in a season of distress? For some of you reading this you are in that season right now. Guess what? You are not alone. I have been in a

Life is and always will be unpredictable. You want to go left, but life takes you diagonal right with an upward slant. Nothing is set in stone despite what you are sure is going to happen. It is like a game of baseball when you are sure that the pitcher is going to throw a fast ball at you, but instead throws the ball to first base and gets your teammate out. The complete opposite of what you were expecting because of your limited view. You were waiting and watching for the pitch which meant you

The only way one can learn a life lesson is to experience the hardships of that lesson for themselves. I personally experienced a hardship when my father was involved in a four wheeler accident. It was tough for not only my father but for myself as well as I was young and naive. However, I learned important life lessons through that hardship that I have carried with me everyday since. My father’s accident has taught me about the love of caring family and friends, to be thankful for and truly live
