Personal Narrative: My First Grade In Religious Education
My teacher’s religion is deep, like mine. She was so into it that it made her class even more interesting. Each day of school fluttering with new information and fun. And it was that religion that lured me into thinking that all teachers were errorless. But I was only 6 years old. As I entered first grade in Religious Education, the smile on her face told me that this was going to be fun and exciting. The teacher seemed happy and comfortable to have me as her student. All of the other kids came in, introducing ourselves to the teacher and talking about our summer. The room was small, but was enough for her to teach. The first day of school began and ended with a treat she brought for us. Since the start, I knew that I would get along with her just fine
Each Wednesday, I strived to show her that I knew a lot what she talked about and it turned out to work! I mostly answered the questions correct and was astounded by the way I could express my answers. “Outstanding answer,” she would say. “Where did you learn that?” And as a reward she would let me choose something from the prize box. This always made me work harder to earn a reward. Every time I returned to my mom, I would show her what I earned and she would congratulate me. She would come up to my

I was in class and she started to ask questions about the Holy Trinity. I was the only one to get a question correct, but unfortunately she didn’t have her prize box. She told me me with as sad voice that she was sorry that she didn’t bring it, but that she would bring it next class. I told her that I didn’t matter and that there was no hurry. I said goodbye to find my mom in the family center. The next day, I went on the bus to go to school. Once off the bus, someone called my name. It was my teacher! “I told you that I would bring it,” she said. “Thank you,” I said and picked my prize. I waved goodbye to her and walked inside the building to

    I never thought how interesting it would be to visit a different place of worship besides Christianity. Since the day I was born I’ve been a Christian and whatever anyone else believes in is wrong and that they are going to hell if they don’t believe in Christianity. About 3 years ago I visited the International Buddhist Progress Society a Buddhist temple in Naperville. Buddhism from what I learned looks more like a way of life or guidelines to it rather than a religion. Buddhism tells you how you could live life better but doesn’t scare you with the prospect of hell instead you live with ignorance. My own history with Christianity still made me doubt or fear the conquences of going to this temple. Part of me believed that I be punished by…

    This morning I attended a weekday mass at All Saints Catholic Church. The church itself is relatively large from what I saw. The exterior had many well-tended trees and bushes, with a sign pointing to the office, and a cross about six feet tall out front by a cement walkway which led to the entrance. The building itself was a taupe color with dark brown roofing and glass doors leading at the entrance. As I walked through the glass doors I was not greeted by anyone, so I followed what everyone else was doing. I noticed a holy water font in front of the doors leading directly to the room of worship. I watched as the casually-dressed Parishioners, all aged at least sixty-five years, and mostly white, middle-class women dipped their fingers into the font and then made the sign of the cross, before entering the worship area.…

    I've been studying Christianity for over 20 years. In my youth, I jumped into it with enthusiasm and blind faith. Growing up in the buckle of the Bible belt, it seemed to be the right thing to do to seek a responsible path to adulthood.…

    It’s funny how we try to fool ourselves into thinking we have any control of our lives. We live with the idea that we have full authority over our choices and our days. In early 1989, My husband, Charles, and I were living in Charleston SC and had just been blessed with our first baby girl. Bringing her home had put my Master’s Degree on hold, and my husband felt that this would be a perfect time for us to move, but I quickly nixed his plan.…

    When I was young I followed my two sisters pretty much anywhere they went to school maybe because it was the best school for me probably cause my parents didn't want to drive us three different places. The first school I went too was immanuel lutheran, and let me tell you something I absolutely hated it. Turns out that when a 8 year old boy is hyper he needs to go to go to a crazy house, or that at least what they thought. Looking back on it i think this school was really bad for me growing up for too big reasons, everyone there was white and everyone was christian. So after going to this just white christian school and having no kids in my neighborhood at the time I wasn't very socially educated. After my third grade year at this school I…

    Catholicism has always been the central religion in my family heritage. Each of my family members, originating back to my great grandmother have been raised Roman Catholic. Both on my mother and father’s sides of the family they practice Catholicism. My entire life has been centralized around faith and believing in one God. I attended Catholic School from 2nd to 12th grade and I gained a large amount from the faith filled environment. However, it was not until I was 15 years old that I became fully involved with my relationship with God and practiced Catholicism properly. The reason I became so involved with my relationship with God was because I attended a Catholic Youth Conference in Atlanta, Georgia called, “Steubenville Catholic Youth…

    Even though I identify myself as a christian, my dad says that he is catholic. I find it interesting that I can see a direct correlation between how he acts and his religious choices. Another interesting thing to look at is that my dad came from a small town in southern mexico. According to indexmundi.com, 82.7% of the mexican population identifies themselves as Catholics. It is really amusing to look at my dad’s culture and religion, and how they intertwine with each…

    My collage is Freedom of Religion, why I chose this freedom is because everyone has a religion, even though some people don’t choose to have a religion, it is important to them. ¨With or without religion, you would have good people doing good things and evil people doing evil things. But for good people to do evil things, that takes religion.¨ by Steven Weinberg. I chose this quote because anyone can have a religion it does not matter what kind of race they are, gender, or how they look. They choose what to believe in not what others believe in. Not everyone will believe in God, others may believe in something else and they cannot change that.…

    When I was fourteen I made the jump from public school in Kuala Lumpur to attend a Buddhist boarding school in a monastic community. It's located in rural northern California, and called Developing Virtue Secondary School [DVS]. This decision was part of a promise to challenge myself academically, build my character, adhere to strict ethical and behavioral guidelines, develop myself religiously, and find service in the community. However, I failed to follow my own guidelines during Thanksgiving break last year.…

    "It was less than a second, maybe half a second, but it changed everything." I was sitting in my Wednesday night church group. The topic was " Salvation." The teacher was reading the bible amd there was a scripture that said if you are not saved you will not go to Heaven. I got scared because I knew I wasnt saved, so I asked my friend that was sitting beside me "How do you know your saved…

    Growing up I was never raised with any particular religion. I had not even stepped foot in a Church or any building of worship except for a funeral in a Catholic Church when I was nine or ten. I do not remember much except that I found it to be extremely boring and wanted to be in school instead. The first time I learned anything about religions was when I was in Elementary school and found some books in the library about Greek mythology. I immediately became addicted to the stories and would imagine the Greek gods were real.…

After graduation, I got a job as a crew member at a pizzeria then later went on to become manager. Out of all the jobs I've had that one was the most diverse when it came to the people who worked there.…

    I remember a time where I did violate my own morals, and I abhor it to this day. Back in elementary school I was guileless. Every Tuesday and Thursday my friend Bob and I had art class, and we played with the art supplies there. One day I was pressured to do something that I was not comfortable with doing, and later I atoned for it.…

    After a long search to find my classroom, my mother handed me over to the teacher. The teacher that received me was a tall blonde haired lady. She introduced herself and said her name was Mrs. Katherine. She really knew how to help us be comfortable and feel at home. When I sat in my assigned chair, I looked around and noticed that I was surrounded with so many children of different races and nationalities. The only people…
