As community service is a theme that is encouraged by St. Francis, I see that it is fitting, that I too am passionate about such an activity. During the course of the summer, I devoted much of my free time to volunteering at the East Valley Family YMCA. Through volunteering for 5 days a week and about 4 hours a day, I gained a few traits that will help me uphold St. Francis’s tradition and reputation of the community’s pride and excellence. By dictionary definition, the phrase “work ethic” is a…

how a twelve-step is like, I visited a Narcotic Anonymous (NA) candlelight meeting. The twelve-step meeting researched contradicts Mate’s twelve-step journal. The twelve-step meeting was located at the YMCA hotel in Glendale. The meeting was held in room two, which was in the basement of the YMCA hotel.

2 Past The genogram paper I wrote gave me the convenience of learning the internal dynamics of my own family. I broke down my family step and applied the family systems theory and learned our boundaries, rules, expectations, and interactions among all the members of my immediate family.

I learned so much about how the interactions of families work, and how they are…
