Resolution

Starting on October 11, 2012 and going all the way to November 24, 2013, Pope Benedict XVI announced it is a "year of faith", to celebrate the Vatican and being apart of the Catholic Church.  After reading the article, I started to reflect on what I can do to celebrate my faith and what my resolutions would be.  My first resolution is raising money for my Church.  Saint Andrews is very big on raising awareness about local charities and giving support to families in need, so donating money would be helpful.  Also, I would like to be more involved with CSC at school.  There are so many amazing programs that are apart of CSC that I would love to do to help out.  I am really interested in taking part of the dog walking and donating to the SPCA that take place on Sunday's.  Also, I would love to do Saint Francis Inn.  There are so many good charitable things I would love to be apart of to help my community.  I also want to get into the habit of going to Church on Sundays.  I'll be honest, I have not gone to Church in months, which is something I regret.  But during this year of faith I want to start going to Church more often and being more in touch with my relationship with God.  I also want to always keep in mind others before myself.  Even though I am a senior and want to act tough infront of the lower classmen, maybe talking to a Freshmen or asking how there classes are going will make someone's day a little brighter.  There is no point on pushing down a Freshmen if they walk too slow in the hallway; we were Freshmen once, and it can be a terrifying experience.  So I want to treat others how I want to be treated and also go out of my way to help out a friend or even a stranger.  During this year of faith I am really going to get a better relationship with God and be more involved with my Church and faith.
