I never had to choose my subject- Isabelle Rinker

Fears: bugs, haunted houses, my mother when she's angry

Annoyances: ignorance (especially concerning society's incorrect perception of the Catholic Church), "hipsters", bad hygiene, rap music

Accomplishments: maintaining good grades in the Academy, a teen leader in my youth group, a role in the school play

Confusion: physics

Sorrows: loss of loved ones

Dreams: graduating from a good college, getting married and being financially stable

Idiosyncrasies: arts-fanatic, proud Catholic, selfie-taker

Risks: applying to colleges, I would like to participate in an exchange program next summer in Paraguay

Beloved Possessions: then- my "dolly", piano, and not a really a possession, but my middle school best friend with whom I have parted ways. Now- my planner, my rosary, and the film "Breakfast at Tiffany's". 

Problems: being irritable, having bad habits, getting caught up in superficiality, being antisocial

I chose to expand upon my annoyances, because if there's one thing I'm great at, it's ranting. One thing that absolutely irks me is ignorance, which includes society's misconceptions of the Catholic Church's teachings. As I have mentioned in earlier posts, my Catholic faith is very important to me, and the criticism I have gotten from friends of different Christian denominations concerns a completely false interpretation of my faith. If you want to learn about it, there are several sites online about priesthood, sacraments, vocations, Saints, the Mass, etc. The list goes on and on, and I love this part of my religion because it sets Catholicism apart from every other denomination. 

Catholiscm has been around longer than any other Christian denomination, in fact, the Catholic Church began CENTURIES before Martin Luther began Protestantism, and from that emerged the creation of hundreds of Christian denominations worldwide. But the practices of the Catholic Church have remained the same since 33 AD, in every part of the world, and in hundreds of languages.

Pope John Paul II said, "There are not one hundred people in the United States who hate the Catholic Church, but there are millions who hate what they wrongly perceive the Catholic Church to be."
