I previously mentioned that I believe that the three major problems facing the world today are education, healthcare, and poverty.

I do plan to get deeper into this course because I want to learn more about the book that actually governs my life. My expectations from this course are [...]

This is supposed to be the most significant blog of the semester because we are choosing to do something about our worldwide problems. However, bearing in mind the problems I’ve addressed, the magnitude of these issues doesn’t allow me to do much about them. I’d like to think that they are in God’s hands…literally. Nevertheless, [...]
