Introducing Me!

-

 Hey Everyone!

    My name is Madalyn Strickland, and I am a freshman at Faulkner this year! I'm super excited for the Great Books Program, and everything it has to offer. Some basic facts about me are I was born in Americus, Ga (I'll put a map down below to show exactly where that is, because I cannot explain it for the life of me)! I enjoy hanging out with my friends, going to concerts, reading, and listening to music. I attend Williams Road COC back home where I was a teen leader in high school. I am still looking for a church home here in Montogomery. Also, in high school I was Yearbook editor my junior and senior year, was on the tennis team, and worked part time at a Photography Studio. I am currently an undecided major, although I am interested in Education, Business, Social Services, and Youth Ministery. It will be interesting to see where I end up in the future. 

    Going back to Williams Road, I absolutely love my church home. I grew up going there with my family. Between 5th and 7th grade we stopped attending regularly after my dad passed, but thankfully I started becoming more involved with the youth group, and not to long after that I became a Christian. We are a small congregation where everyone loves and supports one another, and I am so blessed to be a part of their family. They were the #1 hardest goodbye when I had to leave for college (besides my mom of course). 

    Well, I think that covers the basics of me. Thanks for reading and Go Eagles!

Life As An Inferior Being

  The meekness of humans is really another one of those mind-boggling thoughts of humanity when one looks at how far we, as a civilization, have come. Inventions, technology, our way of living (heck our standards of living) have all improved since man’s creation (no matter which side of science you believe). However, in all the glory of how far we have come, humans can tend to think a little too highly of themselves and forget that when you really focus on the quirks of mankind we really ought to be humbled. Amongst many thoughts that Pascal presents to his readers in his Pensées this is one of them. He states “…but since we are greater than the little things, we think we are more capable of fathoming them”(Pascal 69). Humans by believing they are superior to other smaller, non reasoning beings think we are able to fully understand everything about them and their function in society. And that thought alone can lead to humans creating a disposition about themselves where they belie...
