The Saint I Would Like To Learn More About

I would like to learn more about Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton. I thought it was really cool learning about how she basically started catholic education. It's interesting to know that if it had not been for her Mount Saint Joseph Academy might not exist today. I also thought it was really interesting that she had been married before she had gone into religious life. When I think of people in religious life I don't really think of them being married to anyone other than God. I also thought it was cool that she had children. Once again I do not really think of people in religious life having children. I plan to do research on Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton, so I can know even more about her interesting life.

My Thoughts on Kony

Today in class we watched a very powerful video about a horrible man named Joseph Kony. He kidnaps children and makes them do horrible things. He makes the girls become sex saves and he makes the boys fight in a child army. He makes the children shoot their own parents.
The video showed us ways that we can make a difference and help bring Kony down. All we need to do is raise awareness. How is he supposed to be found if no one knows about him? If more people know about him the chances of him being captured and the children being reconciled with their families are much greater.
I thought this video was amazing and genuine. It was made by a normal guy who just wants to raise awareness. He made me want to help. I'm going to spread the word about this horrible man in every way I can. These children do not deserve a life where they are abused. They deserve to have a normal childhood and this man took it away from them. I hope we can help give them their lives back.
