Senior Sendoff Challenges

Below are a list of challenges from the seniors in recent years.

• I love LIFE and you should come next year with my sister.
• Keep going to LIFE! So many people from my freshman year are not here with us today. Even weekends you think you have too much homework or you are just not feeling it, just come. You will have a good time and it will be worth it.
• Stand up for your faith, know it and go to church every weekend. Really know what you believe. I want to see you know your faith as well as atheists and others know their position. Thank you for your friendship and make sure to treasure your Catholic Christian friends and hold tight to them.
• Reach out to friends who don't come to church or don't come to LIFE. It is a really great feeling to know that you are the reason someone is getting to know God.
• Do not give up. I have felt like HE is not there and like nothing is happening but it is not true. This is when you should not give up. Keep your faith in college.
• Lead by example, Be a leader. Be there for others and when they need help, give it.
• Take advantage of every opportunity you have like retreats and LIFE nights to grow in your faith. Do your homework before Sunday night!
• Go Tigers!
• Continue to form strong bonds with those who are likeminded in your faith. Invite friends to come along. You can always go deeper. There is so much to know you cannot always know everything.
• To always trust God, even when you don't know where He is leading you. He has a plan for you. He will get you through it. From a quote from someone else "When life knocks you to your knees, you are in the perfect position to pray"

• Find 5 minutes of your day to give thanks to God
• Don't procrastinate on your homework and then be unable to come to LIFE.
• Go to LIFE each week!
• Don't worry, God will take care of you, even if you don't see where He is
• Draw close to God and He will grow close to you
• When things get tough, offer it up!
• Be outgoing in HS, try something new that you've really wanted to do
• Don't be afraid to go all out with your faith, to show everyone your faith.
• Never be afraid to ask a question- don't be in the dark about God.
• Invite people to come with you to LIFE and other faith building events
• Stay pure.
• Always put your trust in the Lord
• Hold yourself to a high standard. Do not settle for less.
• Stick to what you know is right
• Girls: Support each other and tell each other you are beautiful. Don't believe the lie the world tells you that you are not unless you met some ideal.
• Guys: Take the example of this year's senior guys and become Men of God. We women need you.
• A quote from How the Catholic Church Built Western Civilization by Dr. Thomas E. Woods:

  "The Church recalls the great men of Christendom--like Charlemange, Saint Thomas Aquinas, Saint Francis of Assisi, and Saint Francis Xavier, to name a few--and holds them up as models for how true men live. Its message? Essentially this: You can aspire to be one of these great men--a builder of civilization, a great genius, a servent of God and men, or a heroic missionary--or you can be a self-absorbed nobody fixated on gratifying your appetites. Our society does everything in its power to ensure that you wind up on the latter path. Be your own person. Rise above the herd, declare your independence from a culture that thinks so little of you, and proclaim that you intend to live not as a beast but as a man." (pg. 215)
