The song that answers the question "Who Am I?" is Beautiful by Carole King. This song is amazing but it also discusses the idea that having a positive attitude will result in having a positive day. This is very important to me and something I learned only recently. I listen to this song a lot and it can always brighten my day.

"Be Alright" by Khelani is the song I think of after reading quotes by Merton. I relate to his attitude towards faith because it is very unsure and wary. He talks about how he does not know his future but that could be the best way to go through life because it is the wondering that makes religion worthwhile. You must have faith to be a part of a religion.

"The people didn’t have to go to God anymore; God was coming to the people. And God, in God’s relentless love, would allow no mountain or hill–no ideology or ritual or requirement or law–to obstruct the way." (page 39)
I resonated with this quote because it is something I struggle with a lot. The idea that we have to find God is very hard for me because I don't think I have found him. I like the idea that he comes to us in different forms. The only way I think I can see God is through people.

"Whenever we show others the goodness of God, whenever we follow our Teacher by imitating his posture of humble and ready service, our actions are sacred and ministerial. To be called into the priesthood, as all of us are, is to be called to a life of presence, of kindness." ( page 152)

I wrote about this in my reflection. I wondered what people would say about the idea that only men can be priests.

"Imagine if every church became a place where everyone is safe, but no one is comfortable. Imagine if every church became a place where we told one another the truth. We might just create sanctuary." (page 73)
This quote has stood out to me because of it's blatant discussion of church. I appreciate Held Evan's open dialogue of her beliefs.

Junior Ring is the official symbol of becoming an upperclasswoman. It kind of seemed like the beginning of the end of my high school career.

One of the first rites of passage rituals I experienced was my 8th Grade Graduation. After attending Holy Family School for 9 years with the same 35 classmates, you could say I was ready to transition to a new school. Despite our excitement for the future, this ceremony still meant a lot of for us because of the anticipation. It was a nice way to be rewarded.

My favorite part of high school has been the family I joined through theater. I have made best friends through theater at St. Francis. Being a part of this group has made me into a more understanding, patient and loving human.

In 2017, 14 girls were chosen to lead Kairos for the following year. Since then we have become a family. It has been amazing to be a part of a group of such inspiring women. I am so grateful that I have made these friends that will last years after high school.

My friends are the people who I can rely on 24/7 without question. They have helped form me into the person I am today by supporting and loving me.
