Personal Narrative: Changing My Religion

167 Words1 Page

Living in a predominately Caucasian neighborhood that were Christians and Catholics, in Lakewood, Colorado, I was exposed to many friends that are these religions. Therefore, they would ask me to go to church with them to watch performances that their church is putting on. I would go to these church events, even though I am Buddhist because I wanted to be exposed to other religions and see how they worship their god. Although I never thought about changing my religion, I do find it interesting how differently my religion is to everyone else’s. My parents never knew I went to other church events because they are strict about me just being in temples. They are afraid of me converting to another religion and they value Buddhism greatly, volunteering

    It was tough growing up Vietnamese-American, because there weren 't many of them at my school. Finding friends was grueling because there was no one I have in common with. People gave me odd looks at lunch too, since I pray and make the sign of the cross before every meal; thus, made school difficult because people couldn 't accept who I am and prevent me from expressing my freedom of religion.  That is, until I joined the Vietnamese Eucharistic Youth Movement. My youth group, Thiếu Nhi Thánh Thể (TNTT), consists of Vietnamese Catholics all over west Michigan gathered under one facility.

  • Personal Narrative-Mormon Magic

    Mormon Magic It is difficult to pinpoint the exact moment that causes someone to commence adulthood. Personally, it could be easy to say that I have matured because of tough times, such as when I realized that “happily ever after” did not exist between my parents, as I had learned from the countless screaming matches and daunting door slams. Another possible time was when I had to live in a shelter and learn how to live in an impossibly tiny room with my mother and sister, sharing the same roof with strangers, when before then, I had lived in a spacious four-bedroom home. However, none of that quite fits the bill. During all of that, I was still completely dependent, helpless even, which is definitely not what defines adulthood.

However, I manage to stand firm about our belief as a Latter Day Saints and my mother 's request on her funeral and burial. I am also grateful when members of the church came over to the funeral and sang all my mother 's favorite hymn song. I am also happy when the selected sisters made a speech and talked about; that is, our physical body is separated with our spirit and will be united again during the resurrection in the second coming our Lord Jesus Christ.

    I, as my application states, have the label of "Jewish" next to my name. To me "Jewish" had always been little more than just that, a label. I attended Sunday School for several years, spending the majority of my time there wishing I could be doing just about anything but sitting in that small, rundown building. My mom had always attended Sunday School as a child. Naturally, she believed I should be raised similarly.

  • Personal Narrative: Growing Up Christianity

    846 Words  | 4 Pages

    Growing up Christianity had always been part of my life and there was no question about it. My family was christian and the culture that my parents grew up in was heavily religious. However, I personally never had a true connection to Christ at a young age. To me church was the place I went to answer questions in Sunday School and win prizes for it, and that was how I saw it for a long time. It was hard for me to see it has more than that and from the outside I may have looked like the kid had a true connection with Christ by the way I talked in front of the church when my class presented, or the fact that I was able to answer most if not all the questions correctly.

  • Personal Narrative: Creating My Religion

    1460 Words  | 6 Pages

    Creating my own religion, this task does seem pretty fun. Well my religion would be very similar to the army and sports, it will contain structure, a need to compete/exercise, guidelines on how to treat others, and most of all it will be fun. There will be no reliance on a god/s, no prejudice against others and most of all, history will be made by each individual. And what I mean from that, yes there will be history but each person will be in charge of choosing their own paths in life. There will be no guidelines to follow (except to treat others kindly), just the freedom for one to create their own greatness.

    When I made my first communion, I wore a white dress with all the other little girls in my class, and had a big party with my family afterwards where I was given gifts of well-wishes and love from my family. However, like with many young adults, when I grew older I began to question my faith. My religion classes became more complicated than “Jesus loves you” and “treat others as you would want to be treated”. Religion became more and more political, and as I grew older, I began to question what I had been taught.
