*SPLASH* all wet. The first night of the retreat began. It was a mid-night water balloon fight‚ a childhood experience; something I could not and probably would not do as an adult. It was very exciting; we could get caught any moment. The war was against the boys. A Jr. high retreat tradition we began‚ and it all started when Stephen flicked rice on Jessica. My friends and I got angry and discussed what to do with Stephen‚ and we decided to let him off this time. Suddenly‚ the doorbell rang.

After reading the article on page 169 I believe that “duty to retreat” laws are not outdated because people today should still not be allowed to participate in any violence if they find themselves in a situation where there are alternative methods that can be used instead of reacting violently. In today’s society I personally feel that people should rely on technology more than violence. Technology is universal and can be used in many different ways to help in these different types of situations

Last March 4-5‚ 2011‚ I had my retreat at the Capuchin Retreat Center at Lipa‚ Batangas. I treated it as a mini or short vacation from my busy and stressful everyday school life.

September 6-7 2012 was the days that we were going to change our attitude and begin a new life. What is Retreat all about? For me‚ a Retreat is one activity that can make you realize everything that has happened to your life from your relationship with your family‚ to your friends and most of all to our Savior‚ our God.

They don’t see how well they have it while the outsiders are sitting around‚ waiting for someone to understand them. I was sitting there‚ but I wasn’t there. I was in my own land of creativity where I can be anyone and be anywhere. Today‚ I chose the life of a star athlete‚ popular‚ loved. But all of a sudden‚ I snapped out of my dreamlike state. Why does everything have to revolve around popularity? Why can’t it be simpler? Why can’t we all just be happy and ourselves around everybody? Because
