Session 11: Unit 2, lesson 4. Writing a Memoir 1 The way thing worked out that summer, was wondrous, having to attend this Teen Bible College (TBC) was last minute and I ended up going on the unplanned missionary trip after. Spending a month and half with these fifty-six people you barley met, you become family. Good times and tough times where all there, just somehow we got more and more attached to each other.
Riding back from our last church service in Spokane, Julie smushed in with me. Our last fragment of the road trip in these bus/van sprinters was something I will always miss. “Do you think all of us will come together again?” This girl who I just met what seemed a week ago was like a sister to

My six word memoir is very self explanatory and purely honest. When someone close to you dies, I wouldn’t say it gets easier each year. But in fact it takes time to accept it.

The Lord has given me a place and sisterhood in the Jesus girls. It has lead me to listening to KLOVE each day; in turn leading me to Colorado Christian University. Had I not taken that step through the door I would still be wondering lost trying to get back to God. Would have missed KLOVE playing “Touch the Sky”; a song that along with Psalm 139 has given me sight to just how much God loves me. Wouldn’t have heard about this school, felt the Holy Spirits nudge to register, or to walk through this new door to a future where I finally receive a degree.

My 6 word memoir does not describe myself, but it does describe who I strive to be. Along with many of my classmates, our generation is made up of texting, social media and a lack of social abilities. We can go days without having a meaningful conversation or one at all and that gets to me. Today instead of confronting people about issues we have with each other, we hide behind our phones and ignore people through what we see as a read receipt. Lately my goal has been to shy away from most communication through social media and actually have a conversation with the people I am trying to reach.

Have you ever had a bad holiday? This last Thanksgiving wasn’t the best holiday I’ve encountered. The vacation was four days long and it was fun, but the Thanksgiving meal wasn’t satisfying. We left Wednesday around 9:00 a.m. and got to Watertown, Wisconsin somewhere between 3:00 p.m. and 4:00 p.m. The trip was better than what it usually is, we made good timing, I kept myself occupied, took a nap, and ate a good lunch.

Personal Memoir: I barely got to experience the joy of growing up with my Grandfather by my side. I was only 13 when he got taken away from us on a gloomy Wednesday afternoon. We'd all been anxiously waiting for Baba to come home for dinner after spending the morning and afternoon hours protesting against the Shah. You see, our family was never really like the average Iranian family. My sisters and me did not like to wear our veils, and we all absolutely loved pop music- especially Michael Jackson.
