A few weeks ago we had the opportunity to make a rosary of our own. At first, I thought that it was only a simple job that can be finished quickly. The rosary’s simplicity made me feel that constructing one would be a synch. When the kit was given, we were instructed to make a knot around an ear of the medallion, it was the first part but it was also very hard to do. Placing the beads through the string was not that hard but the knotting part was quite tricky. Your knot should have the right number of twirls and size for it to be strong and effective. If you made a mistake in your knot, you must untie it and start over, it happened to me and it was really frustrating doing your knot all over again. The construction of the rosary needed patience and concentration.


While constructing the rosary, I felt really frustrated because making a knot was really tricky. That part took a lot of time than placing the beads. Placing the beads was quite fun and well, easy.


After I finished two rosaries I felt relieved and victorious. I could also brag to others that I made two rosaries or better yet, I know how to make a rosary. I


There are certain things in life that we over-look, most of them we see as simple or unimportant like praying or going to mass. When I finished creating a rosary, I realized that it took a lot of work and thought on that simple yet helpful phone line to God. We should also appreciate things that seem simple like toilets or trashcans because it took a lot of time and effort to think of something like that and to think of something that is a necessity of life. We should not play around or misuse our rosaries because we would not let the efforts of others be put into waste.


-this is how TO screw up a paper.. with sentences like..

• After I finished two rosaries I felt relieved and victorious

isn't there a better word for victorious... oh well

• When I finished creating a rosary, I realized that it took a lot of work and thought on that simple yet helpful phone line to God.

it just sound corny. errr.. i mean crappy. especially the 'simple yet helpful phone line to God' part.

• We should also appreciate things that seem simple like toilets or trashcans because it took a lot of time and effort to think of something like that and to think of something that is a necessity of life.

toilets and trashcans?!? oh c'mon.. from all the other useless stuff to think about.. i came up with a toilet and a trashcan. that's so... sad

this is actually the real part of my reflection. all the rest are just a bunch of words to reach a quota of a reflection paper.

-reflection papers are made of lies and sugar-coated words... that's why i like high-school. you can get away with doing those kind of stuff.
