...STARS ESSAY Finding out what job you want to spend the rest of your life doing is a very important part of everyone’s education experience. You get asked the question when you are a freshman in high school, all the way up to when you are out of college. For a lot of people the answer to that question is hard and tough. We understand our strengths and weaknesses but lack the knowledge about all the options we really have. When you’re young all you care about is what job makes the most money. It is a very good idea to have a good income but you need to do something that you enjoy and that will make you happy. You can narrow down what you want to do by just thinking about different things such as your work environment and your option of working in teams or doing your job all by yourself. In this essay I will discuss my personal plans for what career path I am choosing and what information I have found to help me get there. My current educational status is General Studies at Faulkner State Community College. I chose to do this so that I can get my basic classes out of the way and find out what particular classes interest me. Also, attending a two year college will help me get more one on one time than a big university and I think that I will be able to focus more. I want a career that I can go anywhere with and be successful. I would like to do something where I can work indoors and something that has some science based material in it. My plan is to transfer either to South Alabama...

...“SINNERS IN THE HANDS OF AN ANGRY GOD” ASSIGNMENT Takeshia Lashay Knox Bevill State Community College American Literature I July 22, 2013 In the sermon, “Sinners in the Hands of an Angry God,” Jonathan Edwards, with a contemptuous attitude, attempts to provoke a religious battle in the Puritan communities of colonial America using the very powerful motivator of fear. He installs the fear of God within the hearts of unconverted people within the church. Edwards reach out to his audience emotionally unstable with the terrifying body of his sermon it allows his conclusion of salvation to be the solution of the entire unconverted congregation. Early on in the sermon, Edwards reveals his target audience all unconverted men but never directly refer to them using words like, “they” and “them”. Those types of people would know that Edwards was referring to them but they maybe wouldn’t feel like the guilty party in the situation. After building up to the point of a threat against those who have not been transformed suddenly Edwards changes the “they” and “them” for the words “you” and “your” He is now directly targeting his audience, exposing them to a direct blame throwing them up in the air, making sure that they feel guilty for living another day. After breaking his audience, throwing them into emotionally by destroying all hope of escaping eternal damnation then opens an escape hatch allowing the emotional distorted people to walk directly into what he wanted. Throughout...

...often is tied to ethnic backgrounds; and therefore is a religion that embodies diversity. While most of the religions of the world have followers of different races, it seems that the diversity of Catholicism is more wide spread. The American city I was born in, San Francisco, CA, has a very rich and vast Catholic community. Initially, the early Catholic communities were comprised of early Irish Americans that settled on the western part of the United States. In the mid to late 1800s several other American immigrant nationalities relocated to western cities like San Francisco, sharing the same Roman Catholic Church beliefs, and practices. From Seattle, WA down to Los Angeles, CA there were several Catholic churches founded by German, Portuguese, Italian, French, and Mexican American communities. The Mexican American community consisted of primarily Mexicans that lived in then Mexican states prior to the Mexican American war in the 1840s. This westward immigration of Catholic communities was also closely followed by the immigration of Asian Americans, and the growth of African-American Catholic communities. Chinese Americans made up most of the Asian Catholic community, as they worked on the westward expansion of the railroads. When Chinese American Catholics Migrated to the west coast they were not met with the embracement that most would say the Catholic religion embodies today. Steven M. Avella describes these events in his short book Catholicism On The Pacific: Building...

...after six fruitless years of campaigning for new buildings, Saint Ambrose College was selected to become a ‘One School Pathfinder’. This was to be an opportunity for the Local Authority and the College to set up and test a joint approach to educational transformation. The journey took longer than intended, six years instead of the allocated three; the Lord clearly wanted us to spend more time in the design and planning! The Celtic cross was chosen by Blessed Edmund Rice, our founder, to become a symbol of the Congregation of Christian Brothers. It is the cross which appears on the badges of all our schools and colleges. Now it carves out that shape in the Manchester landscape proclaiming our Faith to all. The interior of the building emphasises the religious community which is at the heart of our College. The learning wings provide enhanced teaching and sporting facilities and embrace the IT age like never before. We must always remember that this is not a new College, it is a new building. The College continues to be an amalgam of past and present students and staff whose shared commitment to Edmund Rice Education has made it unique. Edmund would be proud of what we have built but even prouder of how it will transform the lives and learning of our boys. Throughout the six years, we were blessed with many good people in our design team and in the build team. They did not build a new College they built a bright new future for our boys. To all who supported us or ...

...Hawaiian Islands two schools, each for boarding and day scholars, one for boys and one for girls, to be known as, and called the Kamehameha Schools,” were the words written in the will of Bernice Pauahi Bishop. Little did she know, that what started out as two schools for native Hawaiian children, would evolve into a $10.2 billion dollar trust that owns 13% of the state, and serves 34,000 native Hawaiian children yearly. This was the dream of Bernice Pauahi Bishop, to reach out and aid Hawaiian children in becoming good and industrious men and women. For the past 125 years, Kamehameha Schools has impacted the Hawaiian community in a number of ways. From educating over 8,000 children on three different campuses, to offering outreach programs in numerous communities, to even giving native Hawaiians aid in achieving a college education, this is what Kamehameha Schools is about. Due to all of these accomplishments, Kamehameha School is often looked at, as the beacon of light for the Hawaiian community. The reasons are because Kamehameha is an influence due to its wealth, Kamehameha is an organization with great leaders, and Kamehameha is serving with a purpose. With having a $10.2 billion dollar trust, and owning 13% of the state, Kamehameha School is a big influence in the Hawaiian community. From its humble beginnings, it has evolved into a huge organization, that earns million of dollars a year in profits from lease holding that it has on trust lands. With this much wealth, comes...

...Cheating students cheat on their peers without the realization of their actions. Those who participate in cheating also disregard honesty and trust. Ajably also states, “Students who cheat are telling their teachers that they are not trustworthy and this can make getting through the school year a lot more difficult.” Cheating disrupts the flow of learning in the classroom. They could make their classmates feel that their grades are unfair. In the article “What’s Wrong with Cheating?” Professor Michael Bishop, chair of the Iowa State University Department of Philosophy and Religion, identifies this situation as a serious problem. Bishop says, “Cheating is both cause an effect of an atmosphere in which too many of us ignore or disrespect quality education and minimal standards of decent conduct.” It is safe to say when a student receives an ‘A’ through cheating, that they are diminishing the quality of education and not upholding the basic standards of conduct. For example, if a test is graded on a curve, those who cheat get high scores.They do not make honest mistakes and may give students who studied a tougher time achieving a high score. Professor Bishop also said, “Many in our community will...

...Frank Van Der Veken Midterm Exam On this popular television show, the host announces comments that are very arguable. He states that bishops, priests, and nuns have no business talking about justice and that the, along with activists and theologians are turning the church into something like the Communist Party. The host does not agree with any relationship between faith and justice. He contends that faith is about trusting in God and God’s mercy and does not require promoting justice. Also, he insists that justice is a socialist idea, not a Christian one. Overall, making a bold observation that faith has nothing to do with justice. Although, this host has strong opinions, he needs consider more factors before making such bold points. Everyone has their own opinion and not all Christians understand faith in the same manner. According to one of Avery Dulles’s writings, The Assurance of Things Hoped For, faith has multiple understandings throughout both Testaments of the Bible. Faith can be defined as an acceptance of God’s promises and demands. “In the Old Testament faith is depicted as the appropriate response to God’s faithfulness to his covenant promises” (Dulles 17). Overall, faith is tested by obedience and fidelity. In the New Testament, it refers to faith as Pistic which is a Greek word that means faith and further, a truth in God. Moreover, faith means personal trust in Jesus as the bearer of the kingdom (Dulles 17). According to Dulles, faith can...

...critical care, whereas my personal goals are to be physically fit and an amazing mother. After moving to North Carolina from Washington, I knew I might not work in the same area as I did back home. While in Washington I enjoyed working as a critical care nurse on a Progressive Care unit and was studying for my PCCN credential. Upon arrival to North Carolina I found myself in an unfamiliar territory. I was in a large community but, with limited hospitals nearby, it made for a difficult time to set myself apart from applicants for the limited critical care positions available. I could demonstrate my clinical and communication skills, as well as my ability to work in a team environment, and to my surprise, obtained an ICU position. I have been working a 34-bed ICU for two years and the vast of knowledge gained has been tremendous. I believe it is time to put my knowledge to the test. I would very much like to have my CCRN credential. I have met the requirements needed to qualify for the examination, and must prepare, plan, and study for this examination (Carter, Bishop, & Kravits, 2007). With this credential comes some financial gain in the workplace, but the prestige and respect and self validation gained is the ultimate prize. Ever since I attended nursing school I have dreamed of advancing my career to become a nurse practitioner. I have been a critical care nurse for six years and...

...Vincent de Paul, (1581-1660), was a French Priest and founder of the Congregation of the Mission called the Vincentians or the Order of the Lazarists. At Fifteen years of age Vincent was sent as a boarder to the Franciscan College at Dax and was ordained to the priesthood in 1600. It is said Saint Vincent was seized by pirates while going from Marseille to Narbonne in 1606; sold into slavery in Tunisa and escaped and returned to France some months later. Like many of his contemporaneous, Vincent saw the priesthood as a means of advancement, and in 1613 he was presented with a golden opportunity when he was appointed to service with the Gondis, one of the most influential families in France. He spent some 20 years as a parish priest and chaplain to this aristocratic family. He was also chaplain general of the galleys of France and as such tried to aid the sea slaves. In 1617 he founded the first Confraternity of Charity, made up of wealthy women working among the sick and poor in Châtillon-les-Dombes, near Lyon. In 1622 he was appointed Superior of the Parisian Convents of the Order of the Visitation of Holy Mary by the French prelate St Francis of Sales.

...History Brief History of Cainta Catholic College Cainta Catholic College dawned through the CICM missionary zeal. In 1931, Rev. Fr. Jose Tajon was parish priest of Our Lady of Light. Since he ran a school at the Manila Cathedral. his former parish, he deemed it wise to open a Catholic School so that the children of the town could avail of primary education. From charity money and donation, Fr. Tajon was able to maintain the school free of tuition fee but with regularly paid teachers. He indeed established a feat of sort, as he was able to have this arrangement even during the duration of the Second World War. Enrolment increased each year up to 1944. The pupils were housed in three classrooms made of nipa and wood. Before Filipino became a national language, it was already part already part of the curriculum though the students spoke English just as well. The school produced most of the leading Catholics in Cainta. All through the pre-war years until the Japanese occupation and the American liberation, classes were continuously conducted. But in December 1944, Fr. Tajon died at the Santiago Hospital, during the shelling for the liberation of Manila. With his death, Cainta Catholic School unfortunately ceased its operation. In 1959, Fr. Daniel Courtens, another CICM priest, was appointed Parish Priest. Having observed the expenses and the risk, the youth of Cainta faced in wanting to have a secondary education offered in neighboring towns, he decided to re-open Cainta...

...ethnographic research paper I wrote about the United Pentecostal Church International. After writing that paper and reviewing the research I could not come up with a problem within that specific community to write about. I instead decided to branch out and research the catholic religion, specifically priests and sexual abuse in the Catholic Church. The issue of sexual abuse in the church came to light in the mid 80’s. According to Hertzberg (2010), “the pattern broke into public consciousness in the United States a quarter of a century ago, when a Louisiana priest pleaded guilty to thirty-three counts of crimes against children and was sentenced to prison. Since then, there have been thousands of such cases, civil and criminal, involving many thousands of children and leading to legal settlements that have amounted to more than two billion dollars and have driven several dioceses into bankruptcy.” According to an article written in 2002 in the Boston Globe, the archdioceses of Boston have quietly settled allegations of child molestation of over 70 priests in the past 10 years. These are just a small portion of the cases that were public. The church secretly handled many cases that were never made public (Robinson, 2002). This is just in Boston. There are cases all over the United States as well as overseas. According to Donald Cozzens, “by the end of the mid 1990’s it was estimated that more than a half a billion dollars had been paid in jury awards, settlements and legal...
