"The quality or condition of being spiritual; attachment to or regard for things of the spirit as opposed to material or worldly interests."

A person’s spirituality is anything that makes them feel important or happy. Everyone’s spirituality is different. My spirituality is nature, animals and music. When I am surrounded by nature, or playing with my dogs, or listening to my music, I feel happy and I feel that my life is good.

The Rituals I experience are dance concerts /eisteddfods, my birthday, and also going on holidays with my family. I experience my birthday by getting out of bed and going into the living room with my family and opening all my presents. I will usually spend the day with my family and my best friend and we usually go out for lunch or dinner. These rituals bring joy to me in my life; they make me feel special and important. My birthday makes me feel loved by my family and friends.

I would say that my main ritual in my life is dancing. I love going to dancing every afternoon and seeing all my friends and dancing with them. I have so much fun being there, and even when it’s hard, I know that my friends are there to help me. When I dance on stage I feel special. The best part about competing on stage with my friends is that it makes me feel like I am an important member of a team.

I would not call this a 'spiritual practice' in my life, however, when I feel stressed or if I need to clear my head, I find that going for a rub really helps me. I don't go for runs every afternoon ritualistically, but like I said, if I feel overwhelmed with something and I need to take a break, running is a very good thing for me.

What does being a St Johns student mean to me?

# data[].attributes.body
I feel very special being a student at St Johns. Some people may not like our school but that is not the case for me. When I am at school I am surrounded by people who care for me and who I care for. I feel like a part of a big family at St Johns.

"Don’t give up what you want most, for what you want now."

This quote is very important to me because a few months ago, I had to decide whether I wanted to stay in school for year 12, or leave school and go to full time ballet school. I was at dancing one night and I was looking into the café next door and I saw this quote written on the blackboard. It meant a lot to me when I read this quote because it totally related to my life. I couldn’t give up my career as a ballet dancer, just to stay in school for one more year with my friends. I still really want to stay at school, but if I have to leave and go to full time ballet school, I will do that, because, like the quote says, I can’t give up what I want most (ballet) for what I want now (school and friends).

"Wake up every morning and do the best you can with what you’ve got."

This quote is also very important to me. The reason I really like this quote is because it is telling me that it doesn’t matter how much or how little you have, what matters is what you choose to do with that. If you get fired from your job and have no money you could wake up and not be bothered to get out of bed. You could stay in bed and just worry about your problems later. Or you could get out of bed and go out, apply for another job and make money for yourself. This is a great example of doing the best you can with what you’ve got. If you have no job and no money, you can still go out and get a job and make more money. We are the only ones controlling our lives, what we put in, we get out.

25 “Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink; or about your body, what you will wear. Is not life more than fo, and the body more than clothes? 26 Look at the birds of the air; they do not sow or reap or store away in barns, and yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not much more valuable than they? 27 Can any one of you by worrying add a single hour to your life[a]?

28 “And why do you worry about clothes? See how the flowers of the field grow. They do not labour or spin. 29 Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his splendour was dressed like one of these. 30 If that is how God clothes the grass of the field, which is here today and tomorrow is thrown into the fire, will he not much more clothe you—you of little faith? 31 So do not worry, saying, ‘What shall we eat?’ or ‘What shall we drink?’ or ‘What shall we wear?’ 32 For the pagans run after all these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. 33 But seek first his kingdom and his righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. 34 Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.

Why "Matthew 6:25-34" is important to me

Why "Matthew 6:25-34" is important to me

# data[].attributes.body
I really like this Bible scripture because I feel like it really relates to me. The end of this scripture really stood out to me where it says ‘do not worry, your heavenly Father knows that you need them’. This is a very reassuring sentence. It makes me feel that, when I have nothing and I don’t know what to do, there will always be someone there to help me. This scripture doesn’t say to me that it is going to be God who will guide me, but it makes me feel that someone will be there beside me. Another part of this scripture that I can really relate to is where it says ‘do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself’. This tells me that I have no control over what is going to happen tomorrow, but I do control how I deal with it. I can choose to give up if things get too difficult for me, or I can stay strong through the difficult times. Tomorrow will come and there is nothing I can do about what happens tomorrow, be it good or bad.

The reason that I love Titanic so much is because it is romantic, touching, heart warming, gut wrenching, sad but has some funny parts. I also really like the movie because it's based on an event that really happened in history. I saw it for the 1st time 6 months ago and I was worried that it wouldn't live up to the expectation of its HUGE hype, but it lived up & exceeded my expectations! It is now my favourite movie of all time.
