Pride Day
So as of right now my legs and arms feel like jelly from playing the ENTIRE soccer game and going into double overtime....so tomorrow should be fun, I am ready to get my butt kicked by a rake! You have to love community service :)
So the senior meeting that we had today was like a kick in the pants! It reminded me of how close we are to the end and how much we still need to do to get there. Hello to crazy time! One day at a time. I am going to sigh with relief when I finally put that purple gown on and and march down the gym!
When was the last time I wrote a research paper?
I don't know the last time I wrote a research paper. I'm not even sure I remember how it goes. I'm sure the last research paper I wrote was far below the standards we're to be writing at now. I need some examples! And maybe some confidence too! And for STARIHA to email be back about conferencing!!
Nathan Price Done Right
Doing some research on what started violence in the Congo, lo and behold, a missionary started it.
David Livingstone
II. The Pathfinder's Trail in the Desert
Landing at Algoa, he traveled seven hundred miles by ox-wagon to Kuruman, which the Moffatts had transformed from a piece of desert into a garden of beauty and fruitfulness. After giving the oxen a few days' rest, he continued his journey to Lepelole. The tribe living there called themselves Bakwena, or the People of the Crocodile -- that being their sacred animal. He built a house forthwith and began to study the language. After six months of diligent application, he could converse or preach freely in the Bakwena language. A year after his arrival in Africa, he wrote to his father: "The work of God goes on here notwithstanding all our infirmities. Souls are being gathered continually. Twenty-four were added to the church last month."

His desires were the same as Nathan Price's but he actually achieved his....but with all of his missions to South Africa, Livingstone got the interest of King Leopold II and destruction started.

My Life Impact
So I couldn't share this in class because you wouldn't be able to understand a word I was saying. Anyway I thought I would share it on here just because so yeah, here is my free write.
One thing that impacted my life drastically was the death of my grandma. This was the family member to die during my life time. Although i have experienced many people passing, this one effected me the greatest. I was only four or five when it happened by I fully understood what was going on. My grandma was a smoker and it killed her. Lung cancer took her life. From that time on I knew I was going to help the fight against cancer. I still remember just sitting there in the hospital wanting to help her and not knowing what to do except hold her hand and put a cold wash cloth on her fore head. The first death I had to deal with effected to so greatly. I'm going to become a radiation therapist and help beat cancer. No one should have to deal with the loss of a loved one and I promise myself and everyone around that this horrible thing called cancer will be stopped. No little boy or girl should be face with loosing a family member. The pain is much to real and never fully goes away. To this day thinking about it makes me cry but the death of my grandma made me who I am today.
The bold part is what I would have read in our little circle thing in class today.
