Welcome!
Hello! My name is Allison Keiser, and I am a freshman at Indiana University - Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI). I am from Terre Haute, Indiana and am majoring in Exercise Science, with plans on becoming a physical therapist. In addition, I am a huge fan of sports, music, traveling, spending time with my family and friends, and trying new things!
This website serves as a spot where all of my writing projects from my English 131 class are compiled. Each writing piece is related in some way to my first time experience of going to the An Lac Buddhist Temple in Indianapolis, Indiana.
The film review tab is a film review about a documentary entitled, The Buddha, which documents the whole life of The Buddha himself.
The feature style article discusses my visit to the An Lac Temple and captures the most important and memorable moments from my experience.
The formal argument argues for how meditation can benefit individuals with heart disease.
The Reflection summarizes what I learned and the main experiences I have had throughout the semester in this class!
The research tab shows all the sources I used or read for my writing projects and three documentaries I watched this semester that relate to my experiences and writing projects.
***Below are some pictures I took when I visited the An Lac Buddhist Temple. Have fun looking at the pictures and different writing pieces, and I hope you learn a little something related to Buddhism along the way!
