Personal Narrative: A Career In The Mission Field

We went to this place where there was a horrible storm. I don’t remember what place it was and what storm that they had, but there village was destroyed. But when I got there I started to get cry, because I saw all of there houses and everything destroyed. What we wanted to did was to help them. We tried to help them find there families. Whenever I saw a kid or someone find one of their family member, I start to cry. When I see one of the kids, adults, teen don’t find their family's, I hug them as long as they want me to; till they stop crying then I would stop crying. But sometimes they don't stop crying then I wont stop crying. But either way I would always have that feeling in my

This year my youth group went on another mission trip. We went to Copperhill Tennessee the same place we went last year. Everyone expected everything to be the same as last year but everything was different this time. There were very many problems this time.

My nursing journey began after my aunt was diagnosed with uterine cancer in 2001. Within months the cancer had metastasized throughout her body. I felt helpless as I watched her health begin to decline. Before she became ill, she had pursued a career as a school teacher. At her funeral, I listened to stories from former students about how she impacted their lives. At that time I realized that I also wanted to pursue a career involved with helping individuals. I decided nursing was the best route because it was something that interested me and it would positively impact the lives of others. My family played a major role in the successful completion of my diploma in nursing. Their love and support allowed me to pursue my studies with

Many people have left legacies from when they were alive. Some are good, and some are bad. Those people may not agree with what they have left behind, and some may be perfectly okay with theirs. For me, I would like to leave behind a legacy that shows my family that I was a good person. I would want them to know that I had good intentions for my life and that I wanted to do good for myself and others. In this essay, I will explain what I would like my legacy to be like.

Throughout high school, I continuously explored a wide variety of courses in an attempt to figure out what career path I may want to pursue. As senior year drew closer, the business field became more enticing. Furthermore, my aspirations were significantly impacted on the evening of September 14, 2016. I woke up that day and left for school as if it were any other day. After school, I drove to the softball field because we had a game and it just so happened to be Senior Night: the last home game. When it came time for my first at bat, I stepped up to the plate and hit a line drive between the first and second basemen, successfully making it to first base. The next player up to bat hit a double; I rounded second and sprinted for third. I clearly remember my coach kneeling on the ground to signal me to slide into third base. For some unknown reason, I hesitated and slid too late. I knew it was a bad slide, but I was focusing on whether or not I was safe. Then reality set in, I was safe, but I was not physically capable of standing up.

I have attended to alternate spring break mission trips in 10th grade and 11th. Sophomore year I attended the mission trip in Mississippi, we helped a family that did not have the resources to fix their home. The woman who we helped was having flooding problems, so we renovated her living room. We put a wooden fence in her back yard and put pipes in her back yard to move the water that would come into her home to the street. Junior year I attended the mission trip in Kentucky, we also helped people who live in poverty and did not have the resources to make necessary improvements on their homes. We built a ramp for the elderly couple and made there door wider so the women would be able to get into her home with her wheelchair. This was very important to me because I am able t help others have things that they deserve and need but are not able to have. They are in a situation where they are not able to do these things or have the finances to do them. I also helped out at the Muskegon Catholic Central’s Fish Fry. Helping with that ever easy needed. I helped by cleaning table, working in the takeout window and whatever else was needed.

We Three Kings Daycare was the venue in which I chose to complete my field work. Luckily for me, my mom is one of the employees and so gaining access, setting up a theme, date, and time was one of the easier aspects of this project. The group, my mom, is typically responsible for ranges from 8-11 children ages six through eight. Due to the slightly older age group I was working with. I forego beginning with a song partly because I could not find anything relatable to my theme, and also because I planned on doing my story time after they had come in from playing outside. I figured outdoor play would be enough exertion to keep the jitters at bay. Gathering everyone in a circle, I introduced myself and had everyone go around and tell me their

Racial discrimination is demonstrated in many different ways in every part and corner of each country. Some ask, what is racial discrimination and how does it affect early and today’s society? Racial discrimination occurs when a person is treated unfairly and differently than others because of their skin tone, ethnicity, and nationality. It’s been an issue for more than a hundred years. Being against people that were a different skin tone led to segregation and slavery in the early times. Slavery was a controversial issue in its time, as well as segregation and Jim Crow laws. The black community isn 't the only one that 's been affected. Immigrants from all over the world have had to face their share of discrimination and hate. Racial discrimination has been an issue for those who are different from violence, assuming and/or blaming crime, and not being allowed for their rights.

During the course of the last three years, I have went on various mission trips. Most recently I went to Florida my church and I spent a four week giving back to small part in Panama City one day we gave out water and small snacks to anyone that needed another we picked up trash on the beach first we split up into groups then went our separate ways. finally when all the hard work was over our group celebrated having a clean environment the rest of the week went by so fast I didn’t realize how much time passed.When your meeting so many people and doing so much fun and heartwarming things, time  doesn’t register. I felt we really made a difference to that community

Occasion: a crucial part of writing that allows for the readers to know what is going on at the time, the era it is made, and what could have possibly happened throughout the author's life. Writer's constantly incorporate these experiences to give their pieces flavor and to bring life to what they wish to showcase to the readers. For example, members of the lost generation, such as Ernest Hemingway or Fitzgerald, bring in their traumatic experiences from the war into their writings. The lost generation is an important chapter in American literature and is an important era in American History.

When I was going into my freshman year of highschool, I attended a mission trip with my youth group at church to Bell county, Kentucky. Before I took this trip I did not involve myself in volunteering and religion because I did not see the value and desire in it. I felt that being involved in a community and doing work to help others , I was making personal gains. Helping two families repair their house from store damages not only made me realize how much I had compared to them, but presented the importance of what I was doing for them. They were unable to repair, repaint, and clean because they had already had so much on their plate with their family, job, and other commitments. The help that I gave began to open my eyes to the positive outcomes of volunteering.

Summer 2016 was the best summer with lots of memories. June started off with us going on a mission trip to Iquitos, Peru with our church youth group. Waking up in a hot and humid room to the sound of the roosters crowing reminded me that I wasn’t in the US any more. Floating 2 hours down the Amazon River to go to a little town to di-parasite and brush the teeth of little kids is something I will never forget. Our mode of transportation was either riding in the back of a truck or trying to fit 5 people into a 3 person motor taxi. The extremely hot and humid weather and mosquitos don’t bother you when serving and ministering to kids.

Language is the one of the earliest examples of humanity’s ingenuity. It allows us to express our passions, feelings, and beliefs by how we want others to perceive them. Everyday, we humans interact with words and language, whether it is through books, listening to speech, or having conversations with those around us. The importance of communicating to others through speech and writing is such an abstract concept, and the complexity of our languages is truly astounding. Sadly, people often underestimate words in their capabilities to wield power. Words can inspire, bring about hope, suppress, aggravate, and more. Orwell’s Animal Farm truthfully shows how words and language can be used to spark a rebellion and later on, to keep a corrupt

I believe the time of evaluation, it is a challenge that most teachers, instructors, educators have. When I was a nursing student I fervently desired to become a teacher, nevertheless I have never had the patience to sit down and teach someone, but I believe adult learners are completely different on several ways. I always wanted to have an instructor that was able to bring theory and practice together, however I didn’t get into the Educator track, not sure why. Fortunately, I never had a similar experience than the one presented but had a friend who was placed on probation and had to repeat a class. She graduated later than the group as a result of not having met the minimal requirements for one of the classes but also was not too perfect on the rest.

The article God Means Business, discussed how modern Christian business owners can use their businesses as a mission (B.A.M.). The B.A.M. idea is in essence a comprehensive approach to testifying about God and Christ to others through business interactions. The case study concerning Bill and Page Mallory described the couples calling in 1997 and how they used their business ventures to serve God and others in the Philippines. Their missionary business interactions were used to tell people how God could transform them and their communities; spiritually, socially, and economically. The Mallory’s knew most poor people live in low income neighborhoods, and expanding the available local employment opportunities in the Philippines would be critical to raising them out of poverty. This paper will discuss how Bill and Page employed B.A.M. as a paradigm shift, an appropriate reaction to a world in need of salvation, to reach a vast number of people, and to pursue a profit.
