For the last eight years, I have lived in Kansas and attended Saint Xavier Catholic School in Junction City. I am a member of the Saint Xavier Parish in Junction City, which falls under the diocese of Salina. Saint Xavier Parish activities include choir, altar serving and the Life Teen group. Every Sunday at 6 o’clock in the evening I would participate in the Life Teen Catholic youth ministry meeting. The group consist of 16-20 teenagers of middle or high school age receiving Catholic education. The religious education staff directors are Mr. and Mrs. Sandy Kutzner. Other parishioners involved in the religious group are the Saint Xavier religion teacher and community group leaders. The group leaders are usually young adults in college between 19 to 22 years old. While I was in the group, the Keating sisters Sandy, Betsy and …show more content…
We were wondering how to stay focus in the classes. I valued the time at school I shared with the other Life Teen young adults. I decided to stay focus in school and I got rid of any thoughts that do not allow me to do my best. You must ignore hatred thoughts of others toward you or your own hatred thoughts toward others. I learned to love those that I met and everyone I came in contact with. During my four years in high school, I was part of the volleyball, basketball and track & field teams and cheer squad. I was also a member of the concert and marching band in which I played the clarinet and flute. The same young adults from Life Teen were my classmates and teammates.
At home, the other Life Teen young adults and I were having the same challenges. Young adults like us do not appreciate or understand our parents. I learned to value the time I spent with my family. You must love your family to appreciate what your family do for you. Try not to do everything on your own; the worst thing is to try to accomplish everything on your own. You must involve your family in everyday

    Caractacus Pott Character Analysis

    In today's world, family is often overlooked as a secondary priority. It’s far too common for parents to value money and work over immediate family.

    “Look at this place, all of you,” Schäffer said to the others, observing the architecture at the front part of the school, “And examine the wonder of this place. Splendid as it is, every one of us can safely agree that it is gleaming beacon to one of those days when the Children’s Paradise was just beginning to make its appearance in the shape as it is to this day. Someday, and I am not sure when, but when the time will come for us to see the Children’s Paradise soaring higher than it ever had, I would like to see ourselves at the forefront of this renaissance. The rebirth of American Catholic Education, its sudden ushering of the Greater American Catholic School System did not end with the beginning of the Republic; nor did it end, when the Great Leaps Westward marked the beginning of the attempts made to expand both Programs all the way to the West Coast. It continues even to this day, for there is much that…

    Winnie The Color Orange Research Paper

    I was always fond of the color orange. It is the fur color of the lovable, bouncy Tigger that enjoyed the company of his friends. There were times where his friends were annoyed by his overly energetic self, but I realized that his optimistic character has helped me to admire the color orange, even today. I also realized that the characters’ houses aligned with the characters themselves. Christopher Robin, the boy from Winnie the Pooh, lived in a tree at the top of the hill in the center of the forest, being the center of his imagination.…

    Analysis Of 'Where Are You Going, Where Have You Been'

    Growing up is something we go through from the time we are born to the time we die. We start off being helpless, alone and wondering what our next move will be. We rely so much on our parents to give us guidance, knowing right from wrong and learning how to survive on our own. As time goes on, we grow up into a teenager where we think we know everything about the world and that we are entitled to everything. After we grow out of the teenager stage we begin into adulthood where we make our choices, decisions, and plan out our career path.…

    Personal Narrative: My Life As A Homeschooler

    Becoming an adult is a momentous occasion in any young person’s life, but often it is marked by pain and hardships that push us as individuals to earn our autonomy and personal voice. There was an event in my life which pushed me to stand up to my parents and ultimately become an individual in their eyes. Life as a homeschooler was somewhat isolated until the end of my eighth-grade year. It was a damaging environment because of the constant interaction with my mother who was extremely critical and often lost her temper. The feeling that I could never please her overwhelmed me and even when I went to public school her manipulation of myself and others climaxed.…

    Personal Narrative: There Are No Children Here

    See, I could not fathom the fact that there was nothing wrong with me, but there was a problem with some students mindset. It wasn't until Sophomore year, I had to learn the ways out my own maze: spite. I had done to my classmates, what I felt my classmates did to me: I enclosed them in a bottle. The day I heard Lafayette's words being read aloud, I accomplished a goal I never intentionally sought to attain, embracing myself whole; this was the day I went from being a child to a young…

    Support Group Observation

    In attempt to develop range in my observation of support groups, I once again found myself returning to an old stomping ground. Throughout my years in high school, I dedicated several hours a week to my local church in a growth group for high school girls. Although I currently experience mixed emotions with religion, I recalled how influential it was during my teenaged years to have such support, convincing me to return to observe a group to identify ways in why it was so helpful for me during difficult moments in my life. Luckily, my previous growth group leader was still leading groups and graciously accepted my request to be a guest that following week. Meeting once a week, the purpose of these groups was to discuss the Bible and life issues, but based on personal experience, these groups offered much more than a few life lectures.…

    Personal Narrative: My Pursuit Of Freedom

    I was not used to being clueless. Just as for many teenagers, when I got my license a new world was open to me. This was certainly a world where I had more freedom, and I had to learn how to navigate it, in more ways than one. Learning how to communicate with my parents as an adult was not easy. My new found freedom came with the catch of proving to them that I would be responsible and reliable.…

    My Inquiry Project

    My inquiry project conveys how the good life portrayed on social media is so easy to fake, but these unreachable goals push people to try and reach these impossible levels of perfection. My inquiry project is a combination of photos showing how easily I can change myself to influence what other people think of me. Through social media I can show the world any version of myself I want to, even a fake made up version. Clothes, makeup, good photographers, good backdrops, etc. are all things that can completely change the way people think of you after seeing your social media profile. But if it is so easy for people to change themselves and portray their lives in different ways, how can we determine what we should actually strive to have in life.…

    Religious Service Experience Essay

    Growing up in a Mexican American household, most likely one is to be raised Catholic. Therefore, as a young boy it became ordinary to follow and believe in what my parents instilled in me. Furthermore, I never had the courage to explore any other religion and get a sense of what other religions are about. However, now that I am taking Social Work 461 with Dr. Tillman, one of my assignments is to attend a religious service that is held by a group that is different from mine. As a result, I decided to attend a Buddhist temple to get an insight of what the Buddhist religion is about.…

    Concludes That Boy Something Analysis

    Imagine living in a fantasy world where everything is pitch perfect the way you wanted to be, but then, you wake up to the harsh reality to feel trapped and animated on the inside. This is how I first view my life story for the last three years. At first, I never thought this class would help me realize who I am nor what I have to value until eight weeks ago. To start off, I have looked at my life in a new light and sees how I should understand others before I judge them, as well as, to understand the importance of morals and values. Everyone has their own values and morals that they believe in to determine what is right and wrong in life, so have I. Not everyone can agree to the same stuff about how one’s should live our life, but instead learn from our value and believe to make our own story in our life.…

    Reflective Essay: My Role As A Catholic School Leader

    The job of a principal in any academic setting is a monumental task as students, curriculum, parents, teachers, faculty, legal issues, etc., all vie for guidance and attention. But I believe that the job of a Catholic school leader entails far more because I believe the profession of Catholic school leader is a vocation rooted in Christ. My role as a Catholic school principal is one of managerial leader, educational leader and most importantly as spiritual leader. It is my job to nurture a faith community that is built with relational trust and where my school can be transformed into a sacred place (Sergiovanni, 2015, p.12).…

    As I was going through childhood I gained more and more family. I ended up being the oldest of five children. Having such a big family is a blessing and I wouldn’t change it for the world; however, being one of so many children does have a huge impact on your relationship with your parents. Each of us develops a unique relationship with each parent. It’s cool because we each have a connection with them, but in a different way.…
