“I pledge my head to clearer thinking, My heart to greater loyalty, My hands to larger service, and my health to better living, for my club, my community, my country, and my world.” The 4H Pledge is a saying that I only recently became familiar with, but very quickly memorized. Growing up, I had heard a lot of talk about 4H -especially 4H camp- but had only really known it as an organization that likes to talk about livestock and agriculture, which I decided was not for me and I put it out of my mind. Fast forward a few years to a random Thursday in early spring of my junior year and you’ll find me preparing to head home after school when I’m approached by my good friend Delanay. Delanay is pretty well established in 4H has also been one of …show more content…

The event wasn’t anything too special, but for some reason I still came back the next month, and the following months after that. A few months pass by and I start to hear talk about another 4H event coming up called Teen Conference. This event was going to be completely different as Teen Conference is an actual conference where you go for 3 days and stay the night on UK’s campus. This would be the first time I had ever experienced anything like this and struck my curiosity. Once again Delanay invited me to go and once again I went. I had a lot of fun at the conference and enjoyed meeting new people but still didn’t understand the uproar with 4H, and yet again I still -for some reason I don’t know- stayed involved. Yet another month passes and talk of another 4H event is being stirred up, only this time it’s one of the biggest events 4H puts on, 4H camp. Camp is a place where elementary and middle school kids go to have fun and learn how to be independent people while still helping others. Both of my younger brothers were going to camp this year and with some more convincing from Delanay I decided to give it a go. I had no idea up until

Luther challenges the Catholic Church in 1517 and 1535 because they abuse their power by stealing money from the Catholics with indulgences and increasing papal power over the whole world. Luther wanted to let people know that the Church was taking advantage of them at the time and that they do not deserve that. Luther says he “grieves over the wholly false impressions which the people have conceived from them,” meaning that the Church has told them lies about the indulgences by making them believe they should give all their money to get into heaven (Document A). Luther was trying to let people know they shouldn’t be treated like this because this is the religion they have chosen to believe. In 1535, Luther says that “the pope may well be,

The Pledge of Allegiance includes the phrase "and to the republic for which it stands" and according to This Nation.com the United States is, undeniably, a republic, not a democracy. A democracy, defined correctly “is a form of government in which the people decide policy matters directly--through town hall meetings or by voting on ballot initiatives and referendums”. A republic “is a system in which the people choose representatives who, in turn, make policy decisions on their behalf.

Nielsen Fotis Mr Winson Period 10 April 14, 2023 In 1955, the US involved itself in the conflict to help South Vietnam, a democratic country, fight against North Vietnam, a communist country. However, as citizens found out about corruption and undemocratic actions in South Vietnam, many of them became against the war, these people were doves.

My research will be on the case law of reciting the Pledge of Allegiance in public schools.

Where Cub Scouts, the introductory program for younger children, mainly consisted of busywork, Troop 57 was incredibly active: at every meeting there was talk of day hikes and weekend camping trips. I was shy and not a particularly “outdoorsy” boy, so I was afraid I might not fit in, but I was naive and influenced by peer pressure, so, despite my uncertainty, I convinced my father to help me with a Troop fundraiser to lighten the financial burden of campouts and activities. For a 55-year-old man and his sixth grade son, it was grueling. The fundraiser consisted of placing large, unwieldy flags around the community for Labor Day. Finding the PVC-reinforced holes into which they went was incredibly difficult, and more often than not we were forced to dig our own holes into the ground with a handheld auger.
