The trial went very well, in my opinion and everyone was able to keep up with their professional roles. The lawyers did a very good job on coming up with questions on the spot and then stating what they were trying to prove by asking those questions.

Confirmation Retreat Some of the most unforgettable moments in my life lies within this event called the Confirmation retreat. In Catholicism, a "retreat" means spending time to connect with God. This retreat was a trip required by the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine: Assumption of Mary church. My classmates and I had to attend this retreat in order to receive our Confirmation sacrament, one out of the seven sacraments that are required in a Catholic 's life. In Confirmation, one is blessed…
