Today for our independent service day, I thought I would do something to benefit myself, my family, and the world around me. I decided to clean out my closet of all of my clothes and donate the ones I don't need anymore to people who actually do. This benefits me and my family because it is one less thing we'll have to worry about in the future. It also helps my parents clean out the house as we aim to eventually touch up some parts of our home. This helps the people and world around me as well. I have a plethora of clothes that I don't even reach for anymore, and the people around me definitely need them more than I do. I enjoy donating to these people because it gives me the satisfaction of doing the smallest thing to help this world become a better place. As I did this today, I thought about my Core Values and how I can put them to use during the day of service. I was showing Solidarity with those in need throughout the day. I know that the people I would be donating these clothes to would benefit greatly from them, and that is what shows my Solidarity with those in need.

Every Sunday I aid at my parish CCD program. However, I am always doing something different. This week I was in a specific class. In the beginning I took their attendance, and afterwards I made sure that the children were listening to their Catechists. We start each class with a prayer like Our Father, Hail Mary, or Glory Be as they are just learning how to say them. Following that, we do the ten steps of mental prayer. This is a time for the children to connect to God. Then, we get on with the lesson. I make sure that they are listening and participating in every class. I believe that this shows Compassion towards the children and working with them. Being compassionate is one of our Felician core values, that are strongly recommended.
