Photographic Ide Describe Your Life Before College
Story Idea:
The Roman Catholic Church loses young believers every year. Students receive support from their families to practice their faith by attending mass every Sunday. This support is removed once students move out to go to college and it is a contribution to their loss in faith. Despite this religious conflict, Texas A&M University- Commerce freshman, Nayeli Fuentes still finds the time and support to keep her faith running. She was raised Catholic her entire life and now takes part in the Catholic Student Organization on campus.

Photographic Idea:
Take a few photographs of St. Joseph Catholic Church and a few photographs of Fuentes inside the church.

Questions:
1. Describe your life before college.
2. Describe your religious life

    Originally, Fleetwood planned to attend Indiana Weselyan University and become a missionary, but while dealing with some personal problems she decided rather to attend Indiana University South Bend and focus her educational pursuits on secular matters. That said, the community she found herself in, even on IUSB’s public campus was surprisingly Christian. This is certainly not the norm for IUSB students but she found herself sitting in classes run by Christian professors, planning her degree path with a Christian advisor, and pursuing relationships with Christian friends. After re-involving herself in ministry-focused projects she found herself questioning her previous decisions. Due to the fact that she had a rough patch in her faith at the onset of her…

Properly done, it attaches us to God”, says Plantinga. The chapters – “Longing and Hope”, “Creation”, “The Fall”, “Redemption”, and “Vocation In The Kingdom Of God” – articulately lay out the main themes of Christianity.…

    All Saints Day fell on a particularly scorching day that year. The towering church, brimming with squirming, sweaty, students had nearly exceeded its capacity. I watched from my seat, squished between two other fifth graders, as the other classes from Sts. Peter and Paul school filed in through the kaleidoscopic stained glass doors. The time had then come for the third graders to enter. On this special feast day, third graders were encouraged to dress as their patron saint which included sporting long black robes, veils, and rosaries. As soon as they stepped foot into the building, they were dripping in sweat.…

    The story is about a young boy recounting the day of his first communion. The boy is the central character or rather the protagonist of the story. He is also the narrator. The boys’ name is not mentioned in the story, so the working assumption is that the boy is Thomas, the writer himself. What became clear as I read through the story, was this was more than a simple retelling of the events that day but, really a judgement on the catholic faith in its’ tradition of Communion and the duty of confession, and the impact that this duty or obligation can have on a young child. The story is full anecdotal moments that will bring the reader back to their childhood days, and remember how innocent a child’s ‘mind is during their youth. Those moments help underscore the dislike and apprehension that Tomas Rivera might have for some of the customs of the catholic…

    See, high school was the start of my faith journey. Often, the preoccupying force of maintaining my mother’s health and covering the problems within my family from the outside world ruled as priority. School became an afterthought, in hindsight, I am the most disappointment in that. Around the nation, many teenagers in worse circumstances sacrifice everything for their education and me I made excuses. I blamed Christ because I thought he dealt me and my family a "bad hand."…

    “Box 11”, I yell, marking the number of boxes on the tally sheet before frantically moving the piled up bags from each of the tables onto the number stickers on the boxing table. I found myself yelling “Box X” a lot this semester because I completed my service hours at Feed My Starving Children (FMSC), an organization dedicated to ending world hunger. At FMSC, I packed and boxed food, helping the organization provide food for those in need. I faced some challenges at FMSC, but the rewards of my service far outweighed any challenge I faced. . My service reflected that the Church is catholic, because FMSC, a Christian charity, is universal.…
