For example, yesterday I was going to get all of my homework done right after school, but instead, I watched Netflix and didn't do any of it.]]> 2021-08-17 20:47:36 UTC https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/1682846862 whitee27 https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/1682864268 mostly. 4/10 it's been an okay summer, i had a lot going on and didn't get to see my friends. i can plan things with my friends, be on my phone less, get outside more. ]]> 2021-08-17 21:05:28 UTC https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/1682864268 whitee27 https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/1682867382 1. hanging out with friends

I have a lot going on. I am very focused on school work and grades. I am also focused on my social life, friends, and everything going on at school. I am focused on cheer practice, games, and our routine. I am not very focused on God right now. I pray with my family, but I need to focus on my personal relationship with Him. ]]> 2021-08-30 17:52:04 UTC https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/1705076345 whitee27 https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/1705085136 I wanted my cousin to focus more on school last year. He didn't care about his grades or turning assignments in. I wished he cared more especially since grades matter for college which was coming up. My mom and I both tried to help him, but ultimately it was up to him. I just wanted him to have the opportunity to go to any college of his choice, which he couldn't do with his slipping grades. ]]> 2021-08-30 17:56:36 UTC https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/1705085136 whitee27 https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/1722902064 If I wasn't baptized as a baby, I would seek baptism if I needed some kind of stability in my life. If I didn't have faith, I wouldn't have anything to fall back on when things got rough or I needed help in life. Having faith is a comfort, it lets you know someone is always ready to listen and guide you through any obstacles you face. For me, if I wasn't baptized as a baby, I would seek out baptism because I need help making major decisions in life. ]]> 2021-09-07 20:32:18 UTC https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/1722902064 whitee27 https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/1722908431 I think there are pros and cons to being baptized as a baby and as an adult. Some pros of being baptized as a baby are that you grow up in the faith and learn about it all your life. You always have that community and support. Some cons are babies don't understand the faith before they get into it, so they don't get to make that decision for themselves. Pros for being baptized as an adult are that you DO understand what you are getting into and get to make that choice for yourself. Cons are that you may be too far into your life to consider being baptized. You may not think you need it. I think it's better to be baptized as a baby.]]> 2021-09-07 20:36:27 UTC https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/1722908431 whitee27 https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/1736969679 I am fighting depression and anxiety. I have been for a few years now, but everyday is getting better. I have a lot of resources that are helping me manage it. I take meds everyday, and have been seeing a therapist for a while now. I still struggle, but it's not as often and not as hard to overcome. My faith has also allowed me something to fall back on when I feel like giving up. I know God is always with me cheering me on and helping me through it. ]]> 2021-09-13 17:55:07 UTC https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/1736969679 whitee27 https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/1736975281 One part of my life that is messy are my grades and schoolwork. A positive step I can take to improve it is to do my homework right when I get home. I need to buckle down and just get it done. It also helps me to eat a snack before so I am energized. Listening to music also can help me get work done. ]]> 2021-09-13 17:57:04 UTC https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/1736975281 whitee27 https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/1736983004 I think I am ignoring my personal relationship with God at the moment. I haven't said a personal prayer or just talked to him in a while. There has been so much going on in my life that he hasn't been a priority for me. I have been distracted from nurturing our relationship, but I want to get back on track of that. I am going to set a reminder or just put aside a specific time to spend time with God and talk to him about anything. ]]> 2021-09-13 17:59:55 UTC https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/1736983004 whitee27 https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/1736998663 When I used to do competitive cheer, I was one of the few people on the team who didn't have the tumbling skills. I got private lessons a few times every week for a couple hours. I practiced a lot and and gave all my effort. Eventually, I got all the tumbling skills I needed. ]]> 2021-09-13 18:05:25 UTC https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/1736998663 whitee27 https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/1778596784 I've seen resistance keeping me busy and distracted from the things that will help me grow through homework, sports, and friends. I get so wrapped up in what assignments are due, practicing cheer for the games, and what my friends are doing that I barely have time for God anymore. I don't want to be resisting God, but there has been so much that happened during high school that I have lost touch with him. I wish I wasn't so busy, but I feel that even with more time, I would still get distracted from God. I really only talk to him when something is going wrong, but I know I should be talking to him about more than the negatives. I have a gratitude journal that helps me keep track of all the things God has given me. I try to write something down every couple of days and that helps me connect to God in a way. ]]> 2021-09-29 15:59:28 UTC https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/1778596784 whitee27 https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/1811585348 I turn to my mom for advice. I don't really involve God. I think I don't include Him because I'm so wrapped up in whatever stress I have that I don't think about it and how helpful it could be.]]> 2021-10-12 17:49:30 UTC https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/1811585348 whitee27 https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/1811590647 I think I am spiritually healthy. I'm kind of dormant spiritually right now. I am surviving at the moment. There is a lot going on and I am stressed so I haven't been very good about talking to God and staying alive spiritually. ]]> 2021-10-12 17:51:20 UTC https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/1811590647 whitee27 https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/1811595995 I think my dad has helped me grow spiritually. He's the only one in my family who really has conversations about faith and gives advice on how to grow my relationship with God. He is very faithful, so he has been my faith inspiration. ]]> 2021-10-12 17:53:16 UTC https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/1811595995 whitee27 https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/1811606069 I think God is calling me to get more involved with my Church, but I am choosing to not listen. I haven't been making the best effort to get more involved in my church other than just attending Sunday mass. I think He wants me to do more for my community like maybe donate food, connect to the young adults there, participate more in mass. ]]> 2021-10-12 17:56:45 UTC https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/1811606069 whitee27 https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/1828490533

I get to see my siblings in a week for Thanksgiving. My dad is back home and I got to catch up with him. The bad is I wish I shared more at Kairos, I am behind on schoolwork, and have mental issues. I need to focus on school and get my homework done. I need to limit my distractions so I can have a productive working environment. I need to be more open with my family and share my struggles and ask for help when I need it. At Kairos I was scared of crying in front of people I didn't know, sharing my struggles, and having my peers know everything about me. ]]> 2021-11-18 20:35:58 UTC https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/1900522949 whitee27 https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/1900530352 I regret being impulsive and reckless during the summer. I need to be more accountable and responsible. I need to apologize to my parents and siblings. I need to remember to take my medications, share my struggles with my therapist/family, and find an activity that prevents me from doing impulsive things. ]]> 2021-11-18 20:40:50 UTC https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/1900530352 https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/1985091852 Right now, getting good grades and starting to look at colleges is important. Some of the colleges I want to go to are more competitive and I want to do everything I can to make sure I have a good shot at getting in. Looking at colleges is important so I pick a college that I like including the campus, student life, and overall environment. I want to choose a college that feels like a second home and I feel like I will fit into. ]]> 2022-01-11 02:19:14 UTC https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/1985091852 https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/1985096154 I can transform driving places into a prayer. On my drive home from school I can say a short prayer since I’m not doing much while driving. I would have plenty of time and quiet private space to pray either in my head or even out loud. ]]> 2022-01-11 02:22:26 UTC https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/1985096154 whitee27 https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/1988825346 I make most of my decisions based on fear. Fear always holds me back and I have missed many opportunities because of it. One example is when I was at a camp and I was scared to talk to anyone and make friends. I eventually started talking to some people and ended up making really good friends as well as having a really good time there. If I had let my fear take over I wouldn’t have made those friends nor would I have enjoyed my time there as much. ]]> 2022-01-12 18:05:13 UTC https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/1988825346 whitee27 https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/1988835260 I take criticism very personally so when I did competitive cheer it was hard for me to get yelled at. I used to take it very personally but as I got older and matured I was able to see that my coaches were just helping push me and become better. Now I am much more open to being challenged or criticized I can see the other person’s reason for doing so and use it to learn and grow. ]]> 2022-01-12 18:10:13 UTC https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/1988835260 whitee27 https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/1988861690 I could get more organized, make more lists, pre plan, and leave time to do things I enjoy.

By saying we are bored, we are being unappreciative of what God has given us, and basically saying, it's not enough; God is not enough. ]]> 2022-02-11 00:42:00 UTC https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/2041423055 whitee27 https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/2041437660 I like the homilies because sometimes I don't fully understand the Gospel reading and the priest puts it into a simpler words. Some of the homilies I really relate to and apply to where I am in my life. The homilies provide insight into situations or feelings that are unclear and sometimes give me answers I've been looking for. ]]> 2022-02-11 00:52:49 UTC https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/2041437660 whitee27 https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/2041453352      For me, being a good listener with someone I care about is completely hearing out what they have to say, being respectful, not judging them, not offering unsolicited advice, and just supporting them. 
     With my friends, I just sit there and let them vent, not interrupting them. I show interest and encourage them to keep talking just by saying "yeah" or "mhm" every now and then. Most of my friends don't mind me adding onto the conversation or giving advice, but I won't do it unless I know the person well.

Sometimes I get really busy and distracted by other things that close off my ears to him. The ways that I do listen to God are by going to Mass every Sunday and actively participating, I try to make good choices that will please him and those around me, I try to be helpful and considerate to others. I also have a lot of conversations with him in my head when I'm stressed or overwhelmed. ]]> 2022-02-11 01:14:29 UTC https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/2041467567 whitee27 https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/2041492963 Two good habits I have are being an observer and a people pleaser. Observing is helpful because I am very intune with other's feelings and able to read people well. Observing allows me to be more considerate of others and less self-absorbed. Being a people pleaser makes me a better person because I do pretty much anything to make the people I care about, happy. I always try to show friends and family how much I love and appreciate them. I am not a people pleaser to the extent of letting others take advantage of me or putting myself in any sort of bad situation. ]]> 2022-02-11 01:34:25 UTC https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/2041492963 whitee27 https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/2041505203 One bad habit I would like to change is my pessimism. I tend to be more of a negative thinking person. I don't act on it outwardly, but my negative thoughts have caused a lot of stress, anxiety/fear that holds me back, and bottled up emotions that often lead to bad outbursts. To change this, I need to incorporate time for myself to do activities that distract me and allow me to decompress. One activity that relaxes me is listening to music while I draw or journal. I have had a lot going on and little alone time, so I want to put aside some time for myself. ]]> 2022-02-11 01:43:56 UTC https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/2041505203 whitee27 https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/2072076510 If a close relative only had 3 months to live, I would spend as much time as I could with them. I would go out and do more things with them. ]]> 2022-03-01 18:35:19 UTC https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/2072076510 whitee27 https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/2072079042 If I died today, I would wish I had let my family and friends know how much I appreciate them and love them. I would wish I was braver and took chances, pushed myself out of my comfort zone. I would wish I read more books, been more adventurous, been more kind and helped other people more. I would also wish I would let people into my life more. ]]> 2022-03-01 18:36:39 UTC https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/2072079042 whitee27 https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/2072084066 People confirm the promises made on their behalf at baptism. It is also a sign of full membership to the Christian community.]]> 2022-03-01 18:39:17 UTC https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/2072084066 whitee27 https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/2072090513 I got behind on schoolwork because I gave up and didn't see the point in doing it. I've been unmotivated and not caring about anything. I need to realize that grades are important especially to get into a good college. I need to realize to go to out of state college and with the support of my parents, I need to start caring about school. I think God is inviting me to be a better version of myself in school. I have much room for improvement and need to start applying myself. ]]> 2022-03-01 18:42:30 UTC https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/2072090513 whitee27 https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/2072101719 1.

We should value the truth and strive to always tell the truth. A deeper meaning of the truth is our Catholic beliefs and Jesus' teachings. We should not only be honest/tell the truth in general, but also believe in Jesus who is the truth. We should share our Catholic truth and share Jesus' teachings with others. That is also telling the truth. ]]> 2022-03-21 19:46:17 UTC https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/2106077391 whitee27 https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/2106088031 My biggest struggle is my lack of determination. Some examples are: indecisiveness, laziness, unmotivated to do better in school, and unmotivated to deepen relationships. Indecisiveness: I am decisive on the smallest, most irrelevant things so I need to begin to recognize this. Laziness: I need to find a hobby I find fulfilling, makes me happy, and exercises my mind. School: I need to recognize when I feel unmotivated, realize why, and then make the decision that will help me. Relationships: I need to step outside of myself and think about how my friends and family must feel when I don't reciprocate their efforts to nurture our relationship. ]]> 2022-03-21 19:54:19 UTC https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/2106088031 whitee27 https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/2120741354 My carelessness is unmanageable. I don't care or think about how my own actions could affect myself and others. I act without care and it's been very detrimental to my life. To stop this cycle of self sabotage I definitely think it would be in my best interest to pray for help and guidance from God. I know that if I ask, He will provide me with the strength to get through this. ]]> 2022-03-30 04:36:31 UTC https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/2120741354 whitee27 https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/2120760464 negative thinking: A lot of my carelessness is tied into negative thinking. I have often told myself my actions won't matter in the future because I won't get far anyways. Every time I blow off my homework I say what's the point, I'll just go to TMCC (not to say it's a bad school, but I know I could do better if I tried!) 

I know I could get off this negative course if I limited/restricted some of those bad thoughts. If I'm not going to give up this lifestyle to help myself, I should at least try for my parents. An overall change in thinking would help me find my way back to God as well. ]]> 2022-03-30 04:54:00 UTC https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/2120760464 whitee27 https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/2155486142 In 8th grade my friends and I used to gossip a lot. Looking back I can see that while it made me feel good in the moment, it wasn't worth it in the end. I should have chosen not to gossip or to just speak kindly about others. Instant gratification is fleeing, but delayed gratification is worth the effort and lasts. ]]> 2022-04-24 19:32:39 UTC https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/2155486142 whitee27 https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/2155528777 "Resistance hates discipline. It hates self-control. Resistance abhors delayed gratification and any type of self-denial that makes your heart, mind, and soul strong." 

Being Catholic and being human both require discipline. The devil and society are constantly trying to lead us astray. The devil uses temptation, exploits our flaws, and clouds our judgement, all in order to weaken our faith. Society uses the same methods to corrupt our integrity and moral character. 

In order to prevail, we must first ask God for His guidance. It is essential to involve Him in every aspect of life. God is the only one who can give us the strength we need to succeed. Once we have God involved, we must exercise self-control and delay gratification. If we follow these steps of fasting, we will be successful. ]]> 2022-04-24 20:43:58 UTC https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/2155528777 whitee27 https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/2159753934 A lot of the time I make decisions based on impulse.

They have supported me along my entire faith journey and continue to teach me new things. 

I'm grateful that they are always open and willing to have conversations about the faith. Sometimes I question certain beliefs and have differing opinions. My parents never force anything on me or shut me down. They explain things and help me understand the other side. ]]> 2022-04-27 05:12:46 UTC https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/2159774370 whitee27 https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/2159811539 My brother gets grumpy a lot, the most around me. We have trouble getting along due to our similar personalities. Both of us are stubborn, pick every battle, and get easily offended.  

My brother and I often fight because have very different views on certain topics. Most of our arguments become extremely volatile and remain unresolved, since we both hate apologizing first and admitting "defeat."]]> 2022-04-27 05:53:20 UTC https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/2159811539 whitee27 https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/2159836342 I judge because his opinion is opposite to mine. Often times I get upset because I feel like he is being close-minded and not hearing my side. I have come to accept the difference in our beliefs; I can respect that he has his own opinions without agreeing. 

I care because he is my brother and I respect him. I also care because it is important to hear other opinions and be able to accept them. 

I understand where he is coming from. I understand that we won't agree on everything and neither of us will change each other's minds. ]]> 2022-04-27 06:18:56 UTC https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/2159836342 whitee27 https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/2159837310 I have gone to confession at least one a year since 2nd grade. ]]> 2022-04-27 06:19:43 UTC https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/2159837310 whitee27 https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/2167325084 -I think I am a pilgrim and a tourist. 
-Most of the time I am a tourist, I like being in control, having things go the way I planned/imagined. I let things pass me because I'm too busy or distracted to pay attention. I don't like feeling out of control, things not going my way, feeling lost or stuck. Sometimes I'm not very considerate of others and just do what I want. 
-Sometimes I am a pilgrim. Once I slow down, I'm more methodical and actually think things out. I look for signs when I feel lost, and often gain clarity on situations. When I'm not focused on myself, I am more considerate of others and can appreciate the things I have. 
-I think heaven is for those who live their life trying to follow in Jesus's footsteps. Jesus spent his life serving God and others. He was selfless, compassionate, patient, and asked for God's guidance when he was struggling. Those who strive to be like Jesus are the most deserving of heaven. ]]> 2022-05-02 19:55:56 UTC https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/2167325084 whitee27 https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/2168907958 My teachers and Church have had a big impact on my life.

-If we let our friends waste their lives away, we are not doing our job as a friends, nor are we being good friends. 
-I think I'm a pretty good friend and encourage my friends to make good choices a majority of the time. When I fall short, I am able recognize it and improve myself. 
-My dad tells me that who we choose to surround ourselves with reflects who we are. If I surround myself with good people who are kind and hardworking, it's likely that I am also kind and hardworking. Same goes for surrounding ourselves with people who make poor choices. ]]> 2022-05-03 22:19:00 UTC https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/2169025617 whitee27 https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/2185012140 Self-doubt and worry are two things that prevent me from letting my light shine.

She didn't like me very much since I wasn't good at sports and didn't try hard enough in her eyes. I would constantly get down and feel bad when she  called me out during PE. 

If I were able to go back or redo it, I would not take her criticism so personally. She had her mind made up about me and I was just trying my best. I would try to be more resilient and let her comments roll off my back. ]]> 2022-05-19 19:54:16 UTC https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/2191922667 whitee27 https://padlet.com/whitee27/ct4ips90lken2ap2/wish/2191922811 1 Being adopted
