Mission Trip Experience
The one event that majorly impacted my life was the first mission trip I went on with my school, Indian Rocks Christian School. Every May the school sends teams of students and teachers to different places around the world, from right nearby in Florida to the other side of the world in Thailand. My ninth grade year I got the chance to travel to and spend a week working in Guatemala, with children, adults, and some time working construction, and it changed my view on life greatly. I met so many amazing people, and wonderful children, but I also saw another side of how people live and it opened my eyes. While in Guatemala, I was in a small group who were given the opportunity to visit families who the church helped. Their houses were barely held

    How 9/11 Changed My Life

    When I began to answer these questions myself, I started learning more about myself that I never really paid attention to before. For me, the most significant world event I have experienced was 9/11. Though I was very young, I remember my mom turning on the news and just starring in awe. She didn’t know how to react exactly, but I remember the shock on her face and how she seemed scared. I was too young at the time to really think much of it, but now thinking back to it, I understand why she was so shocked. It was an event that changed our country completely. Security at airports were made extensively more secure and people started being more aware of others around them. No one knew if there would be another attack and if there was going to be one, when it would be. So many families lost love ones and so many lives were changed forever in one instant. It taught me that I need to appreciate life everyday, because you never know when something might happen to you or your loved ones.…

    How 9/11 Affected My Life

    I was born in 2000. A year after I was born, 9/11 happened, and it was such a major event in our history that it changed the way we live today. Other major events that impacted my classmates and I as we grew up included: school shootings, terrorism, the Joplin Tornado, and other natural disasters, like Hurricane Harvey. School shootings have changed the way schools do lock downs. Schools are more prepared for them due to the fact that they have happened in the past. Terrorism has also affected the way we live, because of the fact that it happens so often around the world. The Joplin Tornado really affected those that lived in Missouri. I lived fairly close to Joplin when the tornado hit, and it changed a lot of people's lives.…

    Voting In Canada Research Paper

    I will choose the event of women winning the right to vote in 1919. I think this event had the biggest impression on me because before this event happened, women were excluded from voting for the government. That meant that almost half of the population was excluded from voting. I think that was simply unacceptable that almost half of the population was excluded from voting just because they were a different gender. It also heavily skewed the votes in favor of men.…

    Benefits Of Missions Trip

    In tenth grade, I went on a missions trip with my church to Mink Lake, which is a camp by the Gunflint Trail in northern Minnesota. During the missions trip, we prepared a camp for the summer. Some of my personal jobs were to help clean out two sheds and reorganize them, haul logs, and trim trees all over the camp. The trip benefitted myself and the other people on the missions trip because we were able to help people have a fun experience at camp over the summer, and we also helped the people running the camp to not have to work so hard to prepare the camp for the summer campers. Another reason it was a good experience for all of us workers is because we did not have our cell phones, so we were able to form new relationships with each other since we were not constantly distracted by our…

    Personal Narrative: Eagle Scout

    An event I've experienced that was life changing was when I obtained the rank of Eagle Scout from the Boy Scouts of America. It was an affirmation of years of disciplined work and study to have such a prestigious honor bestowed upon me. In scouting, I developed various moral and ethical tenants that have shaped my foundation in life. Tenants like integrity, honor, reverence, faith in God, a man's role and his responsibility to his family, and a nearly innumerable quantity of experiences growing under the leadership of the Boy Scouts of America have molded me into who I am today in my very core of being. The realization of my dream to become an Eagle Scout took 11 years to obtain, so I'm no stranger to adversity or perseverance. To my memory,…

    1. The Holocaust unit we learned about in class has impacted my life in many ways. It has changed a lot of my opinions on a variety of different topics and made me realize how horrific the Holocaust actually was.
