This year is going to be a challenging year in many ways. One it is starting the phase of my novitiate that I really have to sit down and pray about because during this time I am going to have to write a letter to request vows. Now I am not going to go into this trying to make vows just because I can, but I really want to consider this next stage of formation and what I am getting myself into. This is going to be my commitment and let's be honest people in this generation have a problem with commitment, I just hope I am not one of those. However, what is great is that I am enjoying the time that I have by myself and reflecting. Second, my apostolic assignment might drive me up a wall. I am super excited to be teaching Religious Education to get a jump start for my future, but I am really nervous after my first class. So I only have 5 students, just 5 and I am really grateful for that. Now I think some of them have a hard time paying attention, but maybe all 5th graders have a low attention span. So my goal is to teach them there lessons as well as put the lessons into there hands, make them read the material and present it to the class. Then hopefully we can have a class discussion on it all. That is my goal. They are all really nice kids, so this should be a fun learning experience for me as well as for them.
In other news, one of my closest friends has moved back to Syracuse. This makes me super excited, unfortunately I am not sure how many times I could actually see her.
Other things I am looking forward to is the end of the week when my provincial comes by as well as for next week when I will be able to speak to students at Mount St. Charles Academy, our school in Rhode Island. I also get to see some Brothers from the south as well as some of my cousins from the south. The next two weeks should be a good.
