It was tough growing up Vietnamese-American, because there weren 't many of them at my school. Finding friends was grueling because there was no one I have in common with. People gave me odd looks at lunch too, since I pray and make the sign of the cross before every meal; thus, made school difficult because people couldn 't accept who I am and prevent me from expressing my freedom of religion. That is, until I joined the Vietnamese Eucharistic Youth Movement. My youth group, Thiếu Nhi Thánh Thể (TNTT), consists of Vietnamese Catholics all over west Michigan gathered under one facility.

I am from a small city that is not culturally diverse. I was used to interacting with people that were from my same Hispanic culture. When I moved to Austin, I was fascinated by the range of cultures. A different encounter that I will always remember was meeting a now close friend of mine. She is a very involved Muslim while I do not believe in any religion.
evil spirit around the body, but I just keep it within myself. If I will ask them that question, the situation will get worst, so I just didn 't say anything. However, I manage to stand firm about our belief as a Latter Day Saints and my mother 's request on her funeral and burial. I am also grateful when members of the church came over to the funeral and sang all my mother 's favorite hymn song. I am also happy when the selected sisters made a speech and talked about; that is, our physical body is separated with our spirit and will be united again during the resurrection in the second coming our Lord Jesus Christ.
Saint Clare of Assisi After many hours of scrolling through many different saints, one specific saint stood out to me. Her name was Saint Clare. After reading her story I knew that she was the right saint for me. Confirmation is a very important sacrament so I wanted to choose the best saint possible.
Mormon Magic It is difficult to pinpoint the exact moment that causes someone to commence adulthood. Personally, it could be easy to say that I have matured because of tough times, such as when I realized that “happily ever after” did not exist between my parents, as I had learned from the countless screaming matches and daunting door slams. Another possible time was when I had to live in a shelter and learn how to live in an impossibly tiny room with my mother and sister, sharing the same roof with strangers, when before then, I had lived in a spacious four-bedroom home. However, none of that quite fits the bill. During all of that, I was still completely dependent, helpless even, which is definitely not what defines adulthood.
For many of years, I have always said that I was going to work on different projects and I never do. There are numbers of times that I have doubted God. I still to this day doubt God in some areas of my Life. I think that if I and everyone else would get out of the mindset that God will fix things tomorrow than we will be better. I remember when God called me to go to Seminary School.
Moment of Epiphany Epiphany is the feeling of realization of a major life-changing event. The day I woke up for my very first day of work was when I realized that I was becoming young adult. I 've never had a job before, not even babysitting, like every teen girl does. I was completely new to the work force. I had no idea what I was doing
Growing up Christianity had always been part of my life and there was no question about it. My family was christian and the culture that my parents grew up in was heavily religious. However, I personally never had a true connection to Christ at a young age. To me church was the place I went to answer questions in Sunday School and win prizes for it, and that was how I saw it for a long time. It was hard for me to see it has more than that and from the outside I may have looked like the kid had a true connection with Christ by the way I talked in front of the church when my class presented, or the fact that I was able to answer most if not all the questions correctly.
Creating my own religion, this task does seem pretty fun. Well my religion would be very similar to the army and sports, it will contain structure, a need to compete/exercise, guidelines on how to treat others, and most of all it will be fun. There will be no reliance on a god/s, no prejudice against others and most of all, history will be made by each individual. And what I mean from that, yes there will be history but each person will be in charge of choosing their own paths in life. There will be no guidelines to follow (except to treat others kindly), just the freedom for one to create their own greatness.
In this field observation I attended a catholic mass of a friend’s church. I was born in a Christian family and never thought that I would ever attend a Sunday catholic mass. I only have one friend who still attends a church, a catholic church. I attended this mass with my friend Paul and his family who are Pilipino. Paul was nice enough to let come to his church to be an observer and a bit of a participant.
When I made my first communion, I wore a white dress with all the other little girls in my class, and had a big party with my family afterwards where I was given gifts of well-wishes and love from my family. However, like with many young adults, when I grew older I began to question my faith. My religion classes became more complicated than “Jesus loves you” and “treat others as you would want to be treated”. Religion became more and more political, and as I grew older, I began to question what I had been taught.
As a Muslim convert, who has a tragic story of hardship after coming to Islam. This is a very brief idea of my situation and what had happened to me. I have suffered and faced a lot of abuse and insults from my family and community after I became a Muslim. My family is very racist and my sister was involved with white supremacist groups. My story is a long story-
