Sexuality I think is a time in life where you feel the need to interact with the opposite sex. I think humans are sexual in order for us to reproduce and to keep the population going. I think a right time to be sexual is when you have met your mate and you are ready to have children. I think the obvious dangers of STDs should be dealt with. My uncle once told me "take it slow, and be safe".

Last year I lost my laptop charger. I have no idea were I had left it. I had to buy a new one at the end. I was so mad cause I was looking forward to getting a new video game which that pushed it back a while. I knew it was something real stupid. A few weeks later I found a laptop charger in the lunchroom plugged in. It had a name on it too. I just gave it to the teacher which she gave to the dean. I felt good since I knew how bad I felt and I knew that person wouldn't feel as bad as I did.

Jesus helps us through suffering by providing people and things that help us. Jesus brings us friends and family that help us through these hard times. When your friends and family are there for you they are living jesus' message about life and love. At times when someone is suffering it is very easy to pint out all the negative things going on then to point out everything else jesus is doing for them.

I know that this is a very hard time for you. I know that you maybe asking yourself about your faith. Suffering happens when you are alone and I know that you are not, there are many people that will be there for you. One of those person's name is God. God is always there for you when you need him the most.

I think that Jesus came to Earth to save the people. He suffered greatly and which resulted in him understanding the pain humans go through. Jesus showed us that suffering is only brought by humans and their awful ideas.

1. Two types of suffering are necessary suffering and accidental. Necessary suffering could be when you grow up and move on while accidental suffering is when you loose a personal item.
2. Two ways people explain suffering are by saying "god wants to teach me a lesson" or by saying "I deserve this". I think that these ideas make god seem to be not good which all are beliefs are on a good God.
3. I think it is all a mystery I believe God wants it to be a mystery for us, since if we knew the secret then there would not be any suffering.

I think that suffering and happiness balance each other out. I think that without one you can't have the other like how would you know how great summer is if you only had winter or if you only had summer would you really know how great it is since you have never suffered through a winter. I think that God put everyone and everything on this planet with a purpose and a gift to bring to others. Like in the movie when the nice lady got killed, she did do her purpose in life and has now been sent to heaven.

Humans are made in the image of God since humans were given the gift of knowledge and pleasure. Humans could learn and wonder, something no other creature can't.
My top 3 gifts from god are:
1. My friends and family since everything we do revolves around them.
2. My senses cause it allows us to smell, taste, see etc everything god put on this earth for us.
3. And every day I live is a gift from God since you get to see or do #1 and #2 on my list.

I believe God is like an overflowing fountain and a providing sun in many ways. God provides beauty and clarity like the fountain. God is like the sun since it sees everything and without it we would not be here. To me God is like air. It is all around you, and you can't see it. You need it to be fully alive. You also take it in but something else comes out.

1. Personal power is growing in a sense of identity and in autonomy. Nurturing power is power used to foster another person's well-being. Shared power is when our personal power is used to completeness or increase other people's powers.
2. a. I use my power to nurture others when I help them with their problems. I use my powers to nurture others when I score a goal and make them happy. I use my power to nurture others when I cook for them. I use my power to nurture others when I listen to what they have to say. I use my power to nurture others when I put them before me.
b. I shared my powers with others when I say prayer. I shared my powers with others when I cheer on my team. I shared powers with others when I taught something to someone. I shared my powers with others when I give people advice. I shared my powers with others when I help them on their homework.

As Leslie grew, he began to know things about himself and others. I think me and Leslie both like music a lot. We both don't like to give up on things in life even though it seems impossible. I think we are different since he started off depending on others while I was interdependent.

1. Autonomy is when someone controls himself and makes his own rules. Independence is when you only depend on yourself while dependence is when you only depend on others while interdependence is when you depend on both.
2.I do I think that Interdependence allows you to see things through a different point of view. Five goals that I picked are, I want to get good grades, I want to score a lot of goals, I want to make a lot of money, and I want to become a better person. I think by paying more attention, studying and doing homework, working hard, and listening to others could help me conquer these goals.

1. A sense of who we are.
2. a. I am Mexican. I am funny. I like to eat a lot. I love soccer. I like to go out. I dress really casual. I like animals. I like to travel. I am a good cook. I like riding horses. I love my family. I like all kinds of music. I love to dance. I like having a good time. I have long hair.
b. I am very emotional. I always start to cry when I see something very sad. I always keep these feelings inside since it is not something to be proud of. I think if I let go of my feelings I won't be worried to express them.
c. Over the past year I learned that I am very picky about things cause someone told it to me. Over the past year I learned that I get very angry cause someone told me. Over the past year I learned that I don't care about things that much cause someone told me. Over the past year I learned that I could do better in things since someone told me. Over the past year I learned that I'm a good listener cause someone told me.
d. I want to know if I am a good soccer player over the next year. I want to know if I am a good cook over the next year. I want to know if I will be a good college student. I want to know where I really want to live after college. I want to know if I am making a change in someone's life. I want to know if I'm taking a wrong road to a successful life. I want to know if I been a good catholic. I want to know if I been a good son. I want to know if I been a good person and freind.

1. According to the book a transition is a crossing or a passage that one might take as a negative experience. The transition that I had to deal with the most was getting a job and leaving all my free time. The opportunities that having a job was that I would be able to be more responsible and learn how hard it is to make money. The bad part of having a job is that you never have time for yourself or your friends. I think that the experience on having a job made me more mature and a stronger person then before.
2. I learned that in order to fully live, one must go out and explore on his own and find out the challenges for themselves.
3. I believe that as humans we are not eligible to see things as Jesus does. I think that a person like him could see that everyone is made up in a good way while we only think of ourselves.
4. I think I would want to do #5 which is selecting a career and taking an adult job, since having a job and being an adult one could do whatever he wants.

At my funeral I wouldn't want any of my friends to be crying. I would want them to recognize the good times we had. I would want them to have fun at my funeral. I would also want them to say how they will never forget about me and how much I helped them in life.

My goal in life is to one day have no goals. This means that I want to accomplish everything that I have wanted to do in life and at the end know that I have nothing else to prove.
