My prominent lady of choice from the Colorado progressive era is Frances Wisebart Jacobs. Francis moved to Denver, Colorado in 1870 with her husband Abraham and their two children. Upon moving here Francis began to notice that in the Jewish Community their were a lot of people that were suffering from diseases or famine. She decided she wanted to help the people so in 1872, she established what was called the Hebrew Ladies' Relief Society. However, not long after starting the Hebrew Ladies' Relief Society, Francis began noticing other people from different cultures were affected by the same diseases and famine.

Catherine was largely influenced by Charles Finney and the Wesley brothers because of her years as a child on bedrest. The foundation of her Christianity was in Methodism so, while in her early years she agreed with the Methodist theology, as she grew in her own relationship with God and established her own convictions, many of her beliefs began to part ways with those of the methodists. However this was largely due to the negative change in Methodism, not the original teachings of the Wesley brothers. The Salvation Army revival was quite different than revivals of the past in a few crucial ways. In fact, it is safe to safe it was the first revival of its kind. The main difference lies in the focus of the revival. For example, the Wesleyan revival, in which both Catherine and William had their roots, focused only on the salvation of souls and reaching the lost with the gospel. While that was a major focus of the Salvation Army Revival, William and particularly

The Peace Corps, formed in 1961, was a highly influential group of young Anti-Communist graduates who volunteered their time across the country to bring modernism and democracy to third world countries, stop communism from spreading, and changed the way the world thought about Americans. When World Wat II finally came to a close , many agreed that it would be a good idea to organize the youth of America and have them volunteer in foreign countries. Many bills had been proposed by the United State Congress, such as one early bill penned by Senator Hubert, although the idea was first credited by Senator Brian McMahan, who first had the idea of an "army" of young Americans to as "missionaries of democracy."

The volunteer spirit, in essence, is a feeling of pride that I have for having the opportunity to attend the University of Tennessee. It means embracing the traditions, the history, and especially the color orange. The volunteer spirit is the pride that you see at every football game in all the students, alumni, and other fans that are yelling Rocky Top as loud as they can. It is the sense of wonder you can see in the students expanding their horizons and working to learn so that they can make their mark on the world and improve it. The volunteer spirit is something that is different for everyone. It is a different experience for every student; however, it stems from one thing, a love for the University of Tennessee. The volunteer spirit

It is dedicated to the propagation of the Christian faith and to the furnishing of various forms of assistance to persons in need of spiritual solace and material aid.

To help the blind children around is my dream. Since being temporarily blind, I understood how scared and helplessness stayed in a dark environment. As a president of school philanthropy club, I had an opportunity to enter a blind children school to put my efforts to help them as their teaching assistant. When I firstly got into this school, the charming bells and the lush greenery seemed there was no difference between other schools. As I listened to the chatter of children tapping their canes along the walks and saw their fingers touch the raised dots and different patterns on the paper, I really wanted to do something for them, not as a compassionate response, but helped them to be like normal people and even better than us. As their teaching
