Self Improvement Plan Reflection
When making myself the self-improvement plan, there were two areas in my life that I wanted to focus on: religion and myself. I chose that I wanted to improve on being more religious because I noticed that within the past year or so, I have been distant with my Catholic. For example, I have not been attending Sunday Mass as much as I want to and I do not even pray as much as I used to. A lot of these acts are due to me thinking “I just don’t have time” and I always make an excuse to myself; this just leads me into feeling so guilty. Therefore, I made a goal to interact with my faith more. An important area in my life that I need to improve on is myself. I know that this is something …show more content…

Self Improvement Plan
Religion
I want to be more religious and interact with the Catholic community more because it makes me feel better and it helps relieve me from stress.
1. Pray when I wake up and be thankful for being given another day to live
2. Go to church with my family more often
3. Pray at night before I go to sleep
4. Reflect daily on the things I am thankful for
5. Take time to read verses/selections from the Bible …show more content…
It was the first Sunday of spring break and also the first Sunday I was not stuck at home all day doing homework. Therefore, I decided to take advantage of that day and actually live up to my plan. After sleeping in and getting a good night’s rest, I woke up and attended Sunday mass with my family. There at the church, we met up with our extended family and we all went out to eat for lunch at an Asian restaurant called Joy Yee. After eating, all of the parents went back to my aunt’s house, which was nearby, while all of us kids went out to go shopping at the mall. Shopping was fun and I was glad to spend that quality time with my cousins that are all around my age. Then, we went to my aunt’s house and we spent the rest of our day there. We did simple activities such as playing video games, watching movies, watching old home videos, and even singing karaoke. The adults were just eating and talking all day; they even video-chatted with our family in the Philippines. By 8 PM, we decided to call it a night and everyone went home. Upon arriving home, I bonded with my family one last time in our family room by watching TV and just talking, before it was time for bed. Around 11 PM, we decided it was time to head upstairs for bed since my parents had work the next day and my younger sister had school. I went to bed feeling happy and blessed for my beloved family; I was especially thankful for the day I got to
