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. The speakers explain to our relatives that the spirit of my mother is going to the next level of life which is the

This summer I was assigned Final Gifts by Maggie Callahan and Patricia Kelley. Both authors worked as hospice nurses and were able to share their thirty-three years of first- hand experiences and knowledge with us to help better our understanding of the special awareness’s, needs, and communications of the dying. The book focuses profoundly on the physical, metaphysical, and psychological traits the dying encounter weeks or days before death. Both Kelley and Callahan are experts at observing every little behavior of the sick and being able to pinpoint specific signs that mean death is approaching. Not only does this book concentrate on the sick and their needs, but it also fits in the families and their duties in such hard times.

The hardships of continuing life after losing someone close is indescribably difficult. I chose to explore how people are impacted by grief because I was interested in different ways grief is expressed, and the strength necessary to ultimately overcome it. Although, I have been lucky enough not to have had much interaction with death up to this point in my life, I wanted to better understand where people who have are coming from. However, another driving factor for my interest in this topic was to prepare myself; some of my grandparents have been diagnosed with cancer (nothing terminal), but in the case that I will have to face the world knowing that they are not longer, I do not want to go unarmed.

Not only did great grandmas’ cookies impact my life majorly, the sweet Amish culture gave me a whole new perspective on life! Here I was on vacation in La Plata, Maryland enjoying what I would call a flea market and what they call is, making a living. We pull up and I am filled with curiosity as to why there are horses with buggies attached to them everywhere, and why the people behind the stands were only wearing certain attire. Little did know it’s because of their culture.

Part One – Christian Worldview In today’s world it is easy to become enchanted by worldly things. The deceptions that Christian’s allow themselves to believe (i.e. just this once, it’s not going to hurt anyone, I can handle it, I can stop whenever I want, etc.) come directly from Satan. There was a time when hearing a curse word or seeing too much flesh in a movie would be embarrassing; now it appears to be the norm and most Christians do not even bat an eye at such things any more.

I live in a minuscule town in Western North Carolina, where southern traditions are very important to the majority of the population. Such as drinking sweet tea, eating biscuits and gravy, and going to church. Here within one of those important traditions lies why I had to take such a significant risk. At the beginning of my eighth grade year of middle school, only a mere thirteen years of age, I knew I was different. However, what made me different would surely turn many against me.

Hmm. What is heaven? Well, after reading this book, my thoughts are different. When I thought of Heaven, I thought of lush gardens, where everything is bright and beautiful, and everybody is ice. I thought that you would enter at golden gates.

I'd like to talk to you about the movie we are watching and about the movies to come. I am barely 17 years old and I am technically a Junior in high school. I am also a member of The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints, otherwise known as Mormons. I'm not trying to throw my religion at you or shove it in your face but I do not want to be exposed to those kinds of images, and my religion councils us to stay away from those things.

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.

Multiculturalism in the United States of America The view on multiculturalism has changed to the worse worldwide ever since ISIL got a foot onto the European and North-American soil. One of the best evidences on this statement happened in November 2016, when Mr. Donald Trump was elected as the president of the United States. It created massive disunities both in the states, but also around the globe. But is multiculturalism really that bad, or are we just using racism and closed borders to get control over our own fear?
