Samuel T. Speros On July the tenth in the year of our Lord 1996 many children were born. One of these children was Samuel Thomas Speros, the first of his name. When I was three my Father and Mother split up; and by age five a new man was living with my mom and the word “Custody” became one of common use. This man’s name is Dan Seifert and he is now my stepfather, he had a civil marriage with my mother after a few years of living with us. At this time I was going to St.Rose elementary school in Thomasville. My mother might not be the best catholic but she has always believed in the need for catholic education which was her gift to my brother and me. We went to mass at St. Rose about twice a month but it was always just something we did, …show more content…
I went looking for ways to satiate this hunger for love. I went searching for it in the worldly pleasures of alcohol, marijuana, and pornography. This lasted from about eighth grade to my sophomore year. Living this way made me rather miserable to the point where I felt like I was just an object to be traded back and forth by my parents. Another key thing was learning how to play instruments in my sophomore year which helped me express myself in a more positive way; I also started to write poetry and allow my creativity to take …show more content…
However, when the paperwork came around it had the words “Priestly Discernment” in huge letters on it and I gave a firm “No” to that on grounds that I didn’t want anything to do with the Church. (little did I know) So Paul goes to Quo Vadis and I feel terrible for ditching my best friend, I ask him if there is any other event that I can go to to make it up to him. He then invites me to a steubenville conference. I decide to call Scott Anthony to see if I can go, keep in mind, it is June and the conference is in July. Scott told me that there were no spots left and that the paperwork was due in January. At this point I’m glad I don’t have to find an excuse not to go because I told Paul that I would. Fast forward to the week we are supposed to leave, I get a phone call from Scott saying that there was a spot that opened up and I told him I needed to talk it over with my folks. They told me I could go if and only if it didn’t cost anything, which was great because I knew Steubenville cost at least $200. I give Scott a call back and before I can finish my excuse about the cost of the conference he tells me that the cost is non-refundable so it’s free for me to go. In essence I’m conned into going by Scott Anthony and Paul Bova. In Adoration the first night, I felt truly loved for the first time in a long time. I went to confession that night for the first
Steven Barone, a Nevada resident known for his alien chasing hobbies, has finally struck gold. Barone apparently caught his first UFO sighting on two HD cameras. This would be great news, unfortunately, Barone hails from Las Vegas. The City of Sin isn't exactly known for its truthful reputation, but perhaps Barone will prove that wrong. Probably unlikely.
Beginning just before my senior year I went through a series of trials that continued through most of my senior year. I wanted to do something for myself, and was encouraged to attend the National Catholic Youth Conference (NCYC). I decide to go, and so in January I set off for Indianapolis. Once at the conference, I listened to music, met other catholic high schoolers, and participated in workshops. I learned a lot about my faith, and about different forms of worship. This was something that I had not previously been exposed to, as while I was a member of one of the largest parishes in Central Ohio, it is a very traditional parish that had not exposed me to much more than the basic teachings of the church, and also had not demonstrated

Also, my step-mom helped me by driving me to mass every single Sunday that I was with her. Another conflict I faced during my journey was the schoolwork involved with my confirmation. I had a lot of extra homework to do in order to pass seventh grade religion and be confirmed. As a class, the seventh grade students of St. Cecilia School had special assignments in order to be confirmed and in order to graduate. I had to do seven days of volunteer work if I were to move on to the eighth grade and if I were to be able to be confirmed. As graduation neared I had to choose a confirmation name. I decided on Genesius. I decided that I needed to make sure that my sacrifices were worth it. I started facing temptations to sneak my phone in my confirmation meetings and watch the football games, and I very much didn’t want to do the religion homework associated with the class. I started to get behind and stopped remembering why I was getting confirmed in the first place. I had begun to think that I wasn’t ready to make such a big decision.
