My World

The Great Depression and World War II Shaped My Grandma's Life My grandma, Alma Jean, was born in 1935 in Silo, Oklahoma, just outside of Durant. Her birth certificate says she was born in Durant because Silo was too small to be considered a real town. She lived there on a farm with her parents, Orval and Maggie Dale. It was the middle of the Great Depression, and they were a farming family at a time when it seemed like no one could make a living off the land. To supplement their income,

personal experiences with life. My own personal worldview has been crafted out of personal experiences, cultural practices and beliefs and most importantly my Christian faith. It is my core beliefs that have placed my Lord and Savior above everything, shaped me into an open minded individual and aided me with life's challenging and mind boggling questions. My worldview consists of a Christian based ideology that refers to the bible as both a reference and narrative. My Christian beliefs and practices

Disney World; the place where dreams come true. Whether it is a good or bad dream, it is still a dream. I have had some interesting experiences there; some crazier than others. This experience though, oof, this was awkward. This is the time my mother got into a screaming match with some sixteen-year-old girls. Just some background on my mother, she is an amazing person. She is nice, funny, and is a good person to talk to. Another thing about her is that she loves Disney World. She grew up going

It all started in preschool, where I would sit and study my world map poster while eating breakfast every morning. I always kept a list of places that I wanted to travel to when I got older. The endless possibilities of places to visit and sites to explore has always intrigued me. This idea of traveling the world is one many children dream about, but for most of youth in the United States it never becomes a reality. I spent a majority of my childhood traveling around the United States. I saw most

Shakespeare in my World These are the forgeries of jealousy: And never, since middle summer's spring, Met we on hill, in dale, forest, or mead, By paved fountain or by rushy brook, Or in the beached margent of the sea, To dance our ringlets to the whisteling wind, But with thy brawls thou hast disturbed our sport. ~ Titania A Midsummer Night's Dream 2.1 I first truly gazed upon William Shakespeare during college. I had to do a monologue of Joan of Arc from Henry VI part I. I remember

called “the happiest place in the world.” Disney World is the name. Once entering, balloons, parades, and screaming from the roller coaster hits you. I myself was with joy that my dreams have come true. Even the few souvenirs at the gift shop got me hyped. “Ok where should we go first” my mom said. Since I was second to youngest at the time and I had four brothers, I couldn't choose the first two places. My impatient self wanted to be my turn since those choices that my brothers chose was “the worse

My worldview of a fallen world and salvation. The word fallen means: Subjected to sin or depravity. 1Timothy 4:1 “Now the spirit expressly says that in the later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to deceitful spirits and teachings of demons”. What does it mean to live in a fallen world, the Bible describes the word fallen as someone or something spiritually and morally corrupted. Those in a fallen state suffer corrupting and deadly spiritual, moral and social consequences

Disney World Have you ever had a good or bad time at Disney World? Well, I have experienced a bit of both. My trip to Disney World had some real highs and lows of it. One day, my parents told me and my brothers that we were going to Disney World. So, we all packed our bags and drove for two whole days to Disney World.We even needed to stop at a few hotels to take breaks from being on the road for so long. When we finally made it to the hotel that was near Disney World, we were exhausted and

1) Save my world, why won’t you save my world? a) Does this sound familiar to you? It is the lyrics to the song “Save my World”, which is an initiative of the Saving Gaia project by Mediacorp (savinggaia.sg). You would probably have heard the song countless of times on the television, radio and in public, but has it impacted you to do your part in saving our world? 2) As such, you would probably have already correctly inferred that I will be talking about saving our world, and specifically, through
