    experiences and learn from other men’s experiences. As the film went on I was impressed by their ability to continue to talk about the hard topics related to racism in our country. They all took many risks to explain their experience and question when other members’ thoughts were inaccurate within the group setting. After watching the rest of the color of fear I have seen a big change in everyone in the group, especially David Christensen. I believe that this film as a whole is so powerful and looks at many

Bullitt East has shaped me into the person I am today by helping me pick my career, get into playing tennis, and giving a place to socialize. This school has changed me in mostly positive ways that have made me who I am today. Room 102 is a larger room located at

Sebastian is a complex name, more in meaning than spelling, though the spelling still catches people up from time to time. In Zagreb, the capital city of Croatia, there is a mural of Saint Sebastian. He is the patron saint of athletes and archers, tying into the story of how he was tied to a stake and shot with arrows

    Ava, where do I even start. You have been my best friend since 4th grade. I can’t even describe what our friendship and sisterhood is. My teacher was planning on reading this but, I said no because 1. She wouldn’t understand any of it and 2. I would probably be sent to a mental asylum or kicked out of school even though I only have 2 more days of school not counting today. We have been through hell in back at the least. You have helped me with every problem I have ever had. You helped me with the divorce

    What is your understanding of the Old Testament? Well, for me when I first started this class, I had visited some of the books and knew some of the stories, but I thought the Old Testament was the part of the Bible that was only old. This is the case for many people, because we think these stories do not apply to our lives. We are all wrong when we think these scenarios. I have learned a lot about the Old Testament and how it still impacts our lives today, the way God teaches us through these books

    friends they made amongst each other, and though not blood-related, they called themselves a family. This particular group of homeless people completely brightened my mood; I went from scared and depressed by what I was seeing, to interested and eager to learn about why they were so happy, even though they were at low points in their lives.

    the other hand, Holland, Michigan has an exorbitant amount of wealth. But, the dynamic of the culture is not as intense as New Jersey’s. Overall, while living in Michigan I have noticed less of a social battle in who has the better clothes, houses, lives, or friends.
