Abstract
This thesis is written in the form of a selfreflective, memoir-esque essay evaluating the journey of my undergraduate academic career. Everyone tells a story with his or her life. Often, distracted by the demands of everyday living, we stop paying attention to that story. In an intentional effort to better understand where I have been, where it is that I am going, and what exactly I am saying with my life, I have written this personal narrative. Although insecurity and vulnerability are a byproduct of this type of self-exposure, little is gained without ever taking a risk. The time, effort, and occasional difficulty I encountered while attempting to give voice to many thoughts and emotions that never left my brain over that past few years has benefited me immensely. The following pages tell my story by telling the stories of the Lost Boys of Sudan, the Mississippi Teacher Corps, and the Protestants and Catholics of Northern Ireland. Yet it is my hope that within these pages, you may find something of your story as well.
