Esther 2;17 And the king loved Esther above all the women, and she obtained grace and favor in his sight more than all virgins; so that he set the royal crown upon her head, and made her queen instead of Vashti.

 

There was a man named King Ahasuerus. He was looking for a pretty woman to be queen. He was doing this because when he called for the queen Vashti, she would not go to him. It kind of made him upset so he decided to pick another queen. He had many women come and line up for him to see who was the prettiest. Among the many women was a beautiful woman named, Esther. The king liked her and picked her.

Esther did not have a mom and dad. She was taken in and raised by a man named Mordecai. Esther was the daughter of Mordecai’s uncle. A wicked plan to kill all the Jews began to surface. A wicked man named Hamen was very evil and mean. Mordecai would not bow to him when he seen him and is made Hamen very mad. Hamen wanted all the Jews dead. Hamen did not know that Esther was a jew and that is was her people. Hamen talked King Ahasuerus into agreeing on a letter to have all the jews killed.

Esther was able to fix all this by having the king put Hamen and his 10 sons to death. Esther’s beauty captured the king and did according to what Esther asked and even promoted Mordecai in the process. Throught prayer and fasting, Esther and her people were spared. 

 

 

I'm Miss. Congeniality of Broward College North Campus, Events Coordinator of the Psychology Club at Broward College North Campus, new president of Her Campus Broward, I work for Student Services at Broward College North Campus, and I just like to get involved in many great activities that benefit my personal growth.
Student at Broward College for the past five years, first enrolled on Davie's Central Campus learning Physical Therapy for two years than, transferring to Coconut Creeks North campus for the last three years, now majoring in Early Childhood / Developmental Education. Spent first year with Her campus Broward as Outreach Director, former president of self-entitled campus friendship club, Sammy's Buddy Brigade, member of the Campus Science Club, and a Broward County local student Ambassador with Best Buddies International. Winner of the Sammy's award for most charity work within the community, and now Vice President of Her Campus Broward. I hope to soon be working at Junior Achievement with the elementary and middle school children, in order to have a well rounded experience! The hope is to one day work with and teach children who have special needs such as myself! Biggest belief and philosophy of life is that, no matter what anyone says you can't accomplish in life, I am living proof that anything is possible! Having ADHD, high functioning Autism, and medical conditions such as Scoliosis, helps me to understand special needs children on a level that very few people can! It is this very knowledge that led me to choose Teaching as my chosen profession. Now at age 42, and more than 55% on the way to getting an Associate of Arts degree in Early Childhood Education, I hope to become an Assistant Teacher within the next year or so. We hope that this true life story will inspire others to never give up either, no matter what anybody says, or tells you, that you can't do, the only one who can truly hold you back is "YOU".
