“A Family of Freedom Fighters.”

Naomi had two sons and Ruth and her sister married those men. 10 years later their husbands died. Naomi had no one and couldn't not support anyone so she decided to go back to her home town bethlehem. Ruth forced herself on Naomi and went with her while the other sister stayed behind. Naomi told her not to because she had no more sons. Ruth believed so much in the Jewish teaching and converted to be a Jew. Ruth would go in the fields and glean to feed herself and her mother-in-law Naomi. Seeing how hard she was working Boez wanted to marry her but the next in line to have the right to marry her was another Kingsmen. The other had to say that he could not take care of Ruth so Boez married Ruth. Ruth bore a child Jesse and Jesse had King David. King David was related to Lord Jesus so Ruth is an ancestor or Lord Jesus.
Ruth was known as a kind person. She is known as a true converter. She practiced her Jewish teachings and also people look up to her. She believed the teachings in her heart.

"Portfolio 1: What I think I can Achieve."

I am sure I can achieve an A! I am a very confident person and can express my ideas quiet well now. Also when I put my mind to something and actually try(like I plan on doing) I always do good and achieve what I set out for and won't let andything stop me. All I have to do it try and the job is done!

Portfolio 1: Who is Jesus, Really?"

To me Jesus taught how to live life ethically. What is great about Jesus is he used stories to teach people how to act in such a way. He made people think really about what the story meant. They weren't just stories because the point of these stories were the morals of them. Jesus wanted everyone to treat each other with dignity and show that no one is better than anyone else. He also wanted to give people something to have hope in. He wanted to give the people something that couldn't be taken away by anyone else. Even though I don't believe the stories were true they did just have the purpose of getting a point across like teaching people to be nice to each other. He also used stories to make it so the sick were not casted out of society by having stories told of how he healed a lepard or other things of that standing. I believe in his ethical teachings but I don't believe in the religious part of him being the son of the christian god. I know all of his stories are most likly false but I will belive in the meaning of his teachings. So I am a follower of Jesus in the sense that I try to live ethically. I will say that trying to live in such a way is not easy. I live as best as I can trying to not judge anyone and try to not look down on them. I am only human and do give into making fun of people and doing some non-ethical things.

Story Time

The story that is passed down through my whole family is when I went to Canada and all hell broke loose. Down here in the States I live a good life and I am safe but once up in Canada that all changed. I lived in the worst part of Canada. The 3rd day I was there the block was shut down because their was a murder across the street. I was like wow this is pretty crazy I am in for a real trip since I was going to be there for 4 weeks. So the days went on....but my family up there made it fun. I mean there were crack heads on every corner but my famliy made me learn to not be scared and just learn to laugh about it. Some of the people were hysterical and their actions were quite funny but their situation wasn't. I was out every night up at the bar from about 8 to 12 am. Each day was fun and I had a blast. Even though it was kinda grimy and my living conditions were crap I still had fun and probably the most fun I have ever had. Even though I was exposed to partying, drinking, smoking, and all that good stuff I had no pressure in trying any and just had fun watching others do it. All I learned was even if bad things happen around you and things arn't up to par the place can acutally feel more like home and you can enjoy yourself more than ever before. I was pretty surpirsed and wouldn't trade those experiences for anything in the world!
