Personal Narrative- My Trip to Colorado Springs

At 3 am, my young pastor evacuated from our church parking lot where 24 teenagers including me gathered. We went to Colorado State Colorado Spring Colorado State, and I know little about how our bus will collapse today. Over the past few months, expectations of this day have been going on for a while, and now it is at last. I have not felt the same excitement at the moment, I complained even that I want to make the bus bigger, so I will be more comfortable.

In 1893, a 33-year-old British professor Wellesley College Bates visited Colorado Springs, Colorado, and taught a short-term summer school at the University of Colorado. of course. Some of the attractions she traveled inspired her and went into her poems such as the World Columbia Expo, "White City" held in Chicago. From the height of the Pikes peak which trains the center of America in the wheat field of Kansas state and overlooks the Great Plains

The term "beautiful America" ​​was written by Catherine Lee Bates after peaking in the Pikes Peak near Colorado Springs, Colorado in 1893. She got on the train heading west and had the chance to see more of the places reflected in the poem. Among her four original works "Beautiful America", Bates celebrates the beauty of America, pursues freedom, expands toward the west, serves in the army, and fulfills the promise of the future. Through poetry, Bates recognizes the sacred role of enabling this beauty and progress, and asks God to help make the right decisions in the future. Early in the 20th century, the words of Bates were consistent with S.A. Ward's hymn "Materna". The result is the song we know today that I love.

When I was studying philosophy at the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs in the early 1990s, I went to Ontario 's grandmother farm in Canada (she was my second grandfather' s wife). It must have been between my freshman and sophomore since summer was a victim of the Air Jump School in Fort Benning, Georgia and the ROTC Senior Camp in Lewisburg, Washington State. However, this may happen during the spring vacation. What I remembered during the trip was to read Gregory Bateson on a long distance bus. The book of Bateson's book, Soul Ecology published in 1972 on the cover page of the 10th edition of the print edition of January 1983 is called "Revolutionary Approach to Understanding Human Understanding." It was definitely a good reading for the bus in the summer of 1992 (I tended to write that information in my book then)
