I try and stay positive all the time and help others see what I see. This song talks about how to not let others get you down. This song has affected my life in many ways and has been a motivation along with something I now live by. ]]> 2018-02-21 04:15:29 UTC https://padlet.com/madelinegray18/z3epyr376ukx/wish/233595869 madelinegray18 https://padlet.com/madelinegray18/z3epyr376ukx/wish/233596132 He is one of my best friends. I can count on him to be there for me whenever I need it! He is a little more outgoing than me so he has pushed me to be a little more outgoing. This has allowed me to see a lot of things in life that I did not before. Which I appreciate because he has helped me grow as a person in many ways.]]> 2018-02-21 04:17:50 UTC https://padlet.com/madelinegray18/z3epyr376ukx/wish/233596132 madelinegray18 https://padlet.com/madelinegray18/z3epyr376ukx/wish/234037582 Courtney and Cristina are my best friends! Cristina is from Cabo, speaks a different language and is a part of a completely different culture. She has opened my eyes to different kinds of food, music, art and political opinions. Courtney is Croatian and loves her culture. She has taught me to not be afraid to be who I am and speak my opinion. She has pushed me to be more spontaneous which is something that I am not usually.]]> 2018-02-21 23:59:42 UTC https://padlet.com/madelinegray18/z3epyr376ukx/wish/234037582 madelinegray18 https://padlet.com/madelinegray18/z3epyr376ukx/wish/234037594 This is my volleyball team, they come from many different schools. They have very different opinions on issues that are brought up in conversation. They have helped shaped my personality. They are always full of energy and always put me in a better mood. They have allowed me to look at problems in my life from different angles. ]]> 2018-02-21 23:59:48 UTC https://padlet.com/madelinegray18/z3epyr376ukx/wish/234037594 madelinegray18 https://padlet.com/madelinegray18/z3epyr376ukx/wish/234037826 My youth group is the best! They never fail to remind me to be myself all the time! They have brought me closer to God. They have also help make my faith life a lot stronger. They have taught me to look at things in different way to better myself. They also have allowed me to look at catholicism in a much more modern way. They have helped shape the way that I look at ideas of the church! ]]> 2018-02-22 00:01:24 UTC https://padlet.com/madelinegray18/z3epyr376ukx/wish/234037826 madelinegray18 https://padlet.com/madelinegray18/z3epyr376ukx/wish/234042190 Getting my first car was a really big initiation into the adult world. When I got my car I felt more responsible and definitely felt a lot older. I compare getting my first car to receiving confirmation. My dad acted as my confirmation sponsor because he taughtme how to drive. He showed me the way and gave me wisdom on how to drive a car. ]]> 2018-02-22 00:31:49 UTC https://padlet.com/madelinegray18/z3epyr376ukx/wish/234042190 madelinegray18 https://padlet.com/madelinegray18/z3epyr376ukx/wish/234042199 On the first day of high school I was welcomed into a new community. I compare my first day of high school to being baptized. My cousin in this sense acted as my Godparent because she guided me and will always be there for me on my journey. The pin that my cousin, Emily, gave me on my first day acted as the chrism oil. I was being initiated into high school with the help of my cousin. ]]> 2018-02-22 00:31:51 UTC https://padlet.com/madelinegray18/z3epyr376ukx/wish/234042199 madelinegray18 https://padlet.com/madelinegray18/z3epyr376ukx/wish/234053446 This song talks about identity and living the life that you want to live. These topics are some that Thomas Merton mentions quite frequently. I really noticed this when we were reading the prayer in class. He speaks about how God created each of us differently and how he creates our identity and our own destiny with the help of God. We should work with God to create the life we want to live. This song resembles that in the way that it states that you should not let people how to tell you to live your life. You need to work to create your own life. When I listen to this song I ]]> 2018-02-22 01:35:31 UTC https://padlet.com/madelinegray18/z3epyr376ukx/wish/234053446 madelinegray18 https://padlet.com/madelinegray18/z3epyr376ukx/wish/234414842 "I'm so scared. I don't want to be an outcast... Do you care what I'm going through, God?"(Evans 34)

This quote was very impactful to me! I think that a lot of people question if God is there all the time. I recently dealt with knowing God was there all the time. I know have a much better understanding that God is always there. Knowing that God is there has helped me know myself better. It has helped me increase my confidence in myself.]]> 2018-02-22 18:48:17 UTC https://padlet.com/madelinegray18/z3epyr376ukx/wish/234414842 madelinegray18 https://padlet.com/madelinegray18/z3epyr376ukx/wish/234414918 “people were standing up telling complete strangers stories of pain”(Evans 93).

Trusting people has always been really hard for me. I do not like sharing my story to people I do not know. I even have trouble sharing things with people I should trust. I went to a retreat over the summer that allowed me to tell people what was going on in my life! This allowed me to look at the world in a much clearer way. I now understand that it is important to let someone to know what is going on in your life and to voice your opinions. I know now that I need to speak up when something is going on!]]> 2018-02-22 18:48:22 UTC https://padlet.com/madelinegray18/z3epyr376ukx/wish/234414918 madelinegray18 https://padlet.com/madelinegray18/z3epyr376ukx/wish/234414984 “unity does not require uniformity”(Evans 184)

When coming into FSHA I thought that I had to conform to the average "FSHA girl" whatever that meant to me at that time, to be apart of the FSHA community. I quickly realized that we did not all need to be the same to act as a community. That lesson taught me a lot about relationships as well and how important it is to have differences in a relationship. This has also helped me look at all the diversity in the world and to accept everyone. ]]> 2018-02-22 18:48:28 UTC https://padlet.com/madelinegray18/z3epyr376ukx/wish/234414984
