20-Time Project

  For the 20-time project I kind of want to do the catholic faith and community service together somehow? I still want to write about why the catholic faith is so important to me and how it has changed my life. But on the other hand I want to take my catholic faith and go out into the community to help those in need. I also would like to try to do fundraising for charities. I’m just not sure which one to do. I think once I figure how to modify it that it’ll be better for me to get a better start on the project. I have made a blog that’s not the class blog and have been writing about the catholic faith and I plan on writing about community service and how it can impact not only my life but impact other people’s life. I also would like to do more research about community service.




I have decided to change the whole entire project. The subject is about being a care giver for a ill parent and how to cope with that with your every day life. I plan to write a blog to get information out to those that want to know more about being a care giver for a ill parent and more information on support groups for those who would like to be involved with others going through the same situation. I also plan to volunteer at this support group that meets every  month for early on set dementia and Alzheimer's where my mom goes every month for support because my dad is terminally sick and it's hard to cope with. I also want to do fundraising for a support group for my age group to be able to have that support and be able to know others that are going through the same stuff I am going through. My mom and I are planning on starting a business and every quarter she sells it will go to my project to start a support group for my age or to be able to buy books that the support group can't afford.



"They Say, I Say" Book (20 Time)

 

In my article  called Religion In Everyday Life, some assumptions about the catholic faith is being “too religious.” And that they can be really nice. Also some people that aren’t catholic don’t know that much about the catholic faith in general. Some people don’t know what fasting is during lent and assume it’s stupid to do. Some people don’t know what Ash Wednesday is and when they see ash’s on your forehead they make fun of the people that do have ash’s on their head. Some people assume that Catholic’s have too many “rules.” Some people think us Catholic’s don’t sin.

"They say people that are religious are way happier than the ones that are not religious"(Religion & Public Life). They say "two-thirds of highly religious adults (65%) say they have donated money and helped the poor"(Religion & Public Life). They say " religious people are about are likely as other Americans to say they lost their temper recently"(Religion & Public Life). They say "forgiving those who have wronged them (69%) (Religion & Public Life). They ask "what being a moral person means to you"(Religion & Public Life). 

I agree that those who go to church or are religious seem happier than the one's do not. I agree that if you're religious you are more generous with your money and make more time to help the poor and community. I believe this is important because being happier is healthier for you and being able to go out and help the community and being generous with donating money even if it's very little amount. I agree and disagree not all religious or non-religious people have lost their temper recently. I believe some have but that could be from a lot of different reasons behind why they lost their temper. I agree that this is important to cover because no matter what it's very hard to forgive someone who has did you wrong. I believe it's a hard topic to talk about and cover because some people don't like talking about bad subject like this one. I think being a moral person is treating others with respect and helping out those in need and not ruining your repetition. I think having honesty is the way to success.
