Religion Education Families and Family Life I grew up in a Wesleyan Methodist home, which is explained at length in my thesis. I thought I had to be perfect for God and for my church, even though I never understood the basic principles of my own belief system. I followed rules that didn't make sense without grasping the core beliefs, which led me to pretend to be someone I wasn't. I tried to incorrectly apply things I had learned in church to my life; my expectations of men were even based on biblical characters, which led to vast disappointment when I realized how different reality was. My main concern in life became what others thought about me. In that, I lost myself. My religion was my prison. Transferring to Kent State was one event that helped me find my own place in the world. A new worldview, a new acceptance of salvation, and a new acceptance of myself helped me break the chains of my own making. 2020-05-26 English text Kent State University Honors College / OhioLINK http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ksuhonors1588249559246306 http://rave.ohiolink.edu/etdc/view?acc_num=ksuhonors1588249559246306 unrestricted This thesis or dissertation is protected by copyright: all rights reserved.
