Our trip to Texas Southern was overall very interesting. We briefly visited with Dr. Thomas Freeman and learned about his long‚ incredible life‚ but before that‚ we walked some of the halls containing mural after mural. Many are elaborate paintings of various elements of the black lives matter movement. Others‚ like the police brutality mural‚ have connotations to today’s world and the injustices African American people face on a day to day basis. The mural that caught my eye‚ though‚ was the

I made you aware

“Let’s go tobogganing in Mooney’s Bay‚” my friend Henry suggested. After that‚ we decided to meet up at Mooney’s Bay at three o’clock sharp. This was my first winter in Canada and I felt quite nervous about tobogganing. I was in second grade at the time and I was terribly afraid of the possibility of injuring myself.

My dad had been praying about our family going on a missions trip. You will never guess what happened at our missions conference at our church on October 2011. The missionaries from Nicaragua invited our family to come visit them for a week. I didn’t want to leave the United States. I was sad to think about traveling that far away and leaving behind my family and friends. We started praying about going and in February of 2012 we boarded the plane at Gerald R Ford International Airport and headed

H4104!” Racing from the call room to the Cardiac Intensive Care Unit‚ I had a million thoughts running through my head. Why is the RN calling me STAT? Is the patient coding?

After our plan landed and we got off‚ the first thing I felt was the hot‚ humid air hit my face. Unluckily I was wearing jeans and a sweater because it was fall in Ohio. We were greeted with friendly faces welcoming us to Dominican Republic. We were on the bumpy dirt road‚ heading to our hotel. We passed some run down houses and stores

The game was tied 20 to 20‚ it was my team’s ball‚ and as soon as we checked the ball I passed it to Chris. Then I ran in towards the hoop.
