Its the final blog of the semester and I cannot be happier. So here goes nothing for the final blog entry:
1. Give students a level of expertise in the discipline of biblical studies.

I grew up in middle class Catholic Baton Rouge all my life [...]

People believe that the end of the world is going to be in their lifetime for many reasons including the media, false information, craziness, and the book of revelation. The media, television, and internet play a huge role in getting an idea about something and broadcasting to an audience to try and persuade them to [...]

I started off in the beginning of the semester with some really great plans. I was actually intrigued by the whole change the world idea. As with all good thoughts and things, they eventually came to an end. I had a great and rather comprehensive project idea that just did not happen. The organization that [...]

In week 6 I blogged about the personal tragedy of losing my uncle in March and wrote about how I might change my project to fit something related to the reason for his death. I just want to update here that I stuck with my original project because I am not quite if I really [...]

Andrew - I’m glad that you and I are tackling a similar problem and hopefully through both of our hard efforts we can accomplish great things. Thank you very much for the suggestions about getting the word out. You are right that I have not had time to make a video. I’m swamped in school [...]

The prophets tried to go out into the world on a mission of educating people about god. Although I am not trying to educate people about god, I am trying to make am impact in the world by doing what I [...]

My project definitely took a different term as the semester slowly started slipping away. I had originally planned to get involved with an organization that promoted giving people an animal and teaching them how to care for it as a way to learn to feed themselves. Unfortunately no local events are set up currently in [...]

Seriously letters??? Anyway here is a copy of the letters I sent:
Dear President Obama,
I’m writing out of concern for a few issues that are looming in our country. There is a huge epidemic in this country surrounding nutrtion. Not just nutrition in regards to people being underweight and unable to afford food, but also nutrition [...]

Giving that my project may take a different direction, I am going to research and give some facts about the three possible problems I will be dealing with: obesity, malnourishment, drug and alcohol abuse.
Obesity: Living in the United States and further exemplified by living in Louisiana, obesity is seen everywhere. For many, being obese can [...]

Ok so I am now going to lie, my project implementation is not going as I previously thought it was. I obviously am having a hard enough time taking 17 hours worth of classes and keeping up with all the work and giving my time to a good cause. Also, I had a little wrench [...]

Katey — Thank you very much for your suggestions to my project. I think including health issues when addressing obesity is a great idea because it will definitely tie in with my chose career as a pharmacist!
Marteena — I am in process with getting in touch with the organization and hopefully planning an [...]

Looks like the common theme among projects is poverty. It would definitely be amazing to see what am impact we as a class could have on this issue if we all teamed up together!
Similarities between Genesis and Enuma Elish include things such [...]

My project plans to target nutrition in the world. Not only will I be doing something to help with malnourished and impoverished people who cannot afford to put food on the table, I will also be working to educate the other unhealthy and overweight side of society.
To target the malnourished side, I want to work [...]

Last week I mentioned the three biggest problems facing the world as the economy, relaxed set of morals in youth, and nutrition. As previously stated, I believe I can have the most impact on the nutrition and health of the world. For my project, I really wanted to find a way to combine both educating [...]

I’m sure as everyone has started the blog, I’ll go ahead and say it too: there are so many problems facing the world today that it is hard to narrow it down to just three. The three biggest problems I have chosen cover very broad range categories because I feel that the biggest problems in [...]

My hurricane story really is not all that interesting. For Katrina, I was a freshman at LSU. I was born and raised in Baton Rouge and truly pre-Katrina never planned on leaving. However, two days after stepping off the plane from senior trip to Cancun, Mexico (also before I ever stepped a day in [...]
