- About Me:
- I am Dominique. I love working at my job as a cook and helping people. Anything where i am active is always fun for me. I love to read and listen to music. My favorite books are from the Holocaust time period because the authors pour their soul into their books and you can feel their passion and get a glimpse of what they are going through.
God and My Family are the most important people in my life and they have made me who i am today.
- How did you hear of the Salesians?
- I went to school with them for about 8 years during elementary and Junior high.
- What do you think God is calling you to?

In addition to its strong spiritual life, I have found in the Salesian Family a real family. Anytime there is a gathering that takes in many or all of the Family, it is like being a great big family reunion. It is always a time of renewal, a vivif...

God Bless You
I just realize that I was so wrong..! This time I want to become closer on Him again...I want to serve HiM again..! And I know that Salesian will help me to do that...!
I really want to be your sister in Christ..!
Swizzah,
A very long time, I know. I've been very busy, believe me. School is not yet over for me (and it never will...until I graduate high school, anyway).
Well, everythings been good. I'm still praying for my vocation and I'd really like to stay with that thought. I've still had the desire of marriage...but not as much as I used to. You see, last year, I went to a Stuebenville conference. They were selling some Catholic books, so I decided to find something I liked. I found a Catholic teen novel book called "Catholic Reluctantly" (which is a very good book, by the way), part of a book series called "John Paul 2 High". It's basically the story of some Catholic school students and the strange happenings that happen in their school, "John Paul 2 High School". I wanted to buy it, because it had a cute girl on the cover and...basically, I still had a strong attraction for girls at the time. I recently read the new book, the second one in the series, which is called "Tresspasses Againts Us". It taught me how boyfriend/girlfriend relationships in high school were like and I saw how hard it's like. I've been convinced for the last week that a relationship with a girl is not something I want to get into, even if I went to college. So, my priestly vocation's been pretty strong for this week.
A Franciscan priest is visiting me from Cincinatti to see if the Franciscans would want me in their community. I'm kind of scared because I love the Salesian community, but the Franciscans have more experience and years (no offense). Plus, they can get me into their college for free. Pray for me, because it's a hard decission for me.
Well, I gotta go. I have youth group tonight, and I'm doing something for the Seniors of '09. God bless you and your family!
You are always in my prayers!
Your brother in Christ,
Robert
I'm sorry for not writing, my sister, but I have been pretty busy with school. Tomorrow I give a talk on miracles in my parish's youth group. Pray for me tomorrow. I can't say much. So, how's it been? Are you ready for summer? What will you do on your vacation? God bless you!
In Christ,
Robert
Well, I did survive the roller coasters, thank God. Six Flags Over Texas, over in Dallas, was the very first Six Flags theme park ever, in fact. My very first roller coaster was the Titan. It goes 25 stories in the air, then it goes straight down at 85 mph! Talk about the thrill! And I just found out that it's the biggest roller coaster in the Southwest (which means all of Texas and a few other states). I was so scared to death, I din't even scream on their. I didn't go on many rides after that because I got really sick. Believe me, if I had known the Titan was the biggest, baddest roller coaster in all of Texas, I would've never gone on. I'm so glad I did. We stayed there for 12 hours! It was exciting. My favorite ride there was one called "La Vibora", which in spanish means, "the snake". It's a roller coaster, but it has no track. Ever seen the Winter Olympics? You know those tobagan races? That's what this ride is like. The track is practically a plastic slide, but it's exciting. I have so much to say and so little time!
I've never been to Busch Gardens. I remember hearing of that place, but I don't remember where that is. I should go there.
Since Six Flags was really my first real amusement park, I don't know what my favorite rides are, but I like roller coasters now. In fact, they fascinated me much, that I want to become a roller coaster engineer! It'll be hard, since I'm not good at math, but I'll leave it all to God.
I got a 2 on my score at the singing competition. It was good, being my first time...but my time is getting late. I haven't been able to send John a message in so long. I feel really bad about that. I know he understands, but it's still not right. I gotta go to a Confirmation retreat today and I gotta stay there the weekend. After Six Flags, my time scheduel has been so smooshed together, I can't even think.
Oh well, please tell John I'm doing OK and that he'll hear from me as soon as I'm back, alright? Thanks. Please pray for me on my retreat.
You and John and all our Salesian brethren are in my prayers. God bless.
In Christ,
Robert
Again, sorry for not responding. Yes...time dilema. I did respond to Johnny, but I gotta respond to him again as soon as I respond to you.
I know. The quote I sent you is wierd and hard to understand. Even wierder, I understand it...I just can't explain what I understand from it.
About my voice, I guess I am trying to hard. My friends were already "complaining" about my "man-beastly" voice. I have to offer my voice to God, as I learned at my first singing competition. I have two of them this very weekend...starting on Thursday. I just hope I get home on time to go to Mass. The strangest thing is that when I offered my voice to God on my competition, I was so relaxed and I wasn't nervous at all. It was as if God was singing through me. I gotta say it must have been that, because compared to the good coments I recieved from the judge-lady (who is a proffessional and extremely studiuous singer from the Houston Symphony) I wasn't the one who deserved them at all. If I sang alone, it would've recieved a VERY LOW score.
I don't really know why we have Spring Break early. It seems to me that you guys have it late. Spring was just this week. Besides, Texans are BIG overachievers. When it comes to school, Texas always wants to come first. (That's why I want to leave this state.)
I didn't say anything at all yesterday at my Youth Group meeting. I'm glad, because I think I bother people this way. My youth director has been kind of uneasy around me lately, as if I were some kind of macho guy or something (which I'm NOT). It's like she's suspicious of something.
I get to go to Six Flags in Dallas this Saturday. After the competition, we're gonna spend the whole day there at the amusement park. I'm praying that God won't let me die on a roller coaster. I'm not afraid to die...I'm just afraid that when I do, I won't go to Heaven. I want to go to Confession SO BAD.
Well, gotta go back to answering Johnny.
In Christ,
Robert
Sorry I haven't replied in so long. I've been VERY busy with choir and homeschool, etc. Thanks for the quotes. I found them quite inspiring. I was just listening to this talk that some guy named Facundo Cabral said last year, when he recieved the Nobel Peace Prize. This is my favorite quote:
"You are not depressed; only distracted..." (Facundo Cabral)
He gave a talk on why we should always be happy and we should never waste our time on Earth all sad and depressed. I'd send you the recording I recieved...unfortunately, it's in Spanish. Sorry.
So, I've been kind of good this week. How about you? Remember that advice I gave you on not "screaming" while you sang in the "American Idol" game? It seems I was practically doing that during choir practice yesterday. It's true! I don't know what's been going on with my voice, but it just won't give a good projection anymore. But, I guess we all have our ups and downs.
Are you having a god Spring Break? While all my friends are at Disneyworld, New England, Colorado, etc., I have to do homework. I choose not to have breaks, but sometimes, I wish could go out with them more often.
I don't have much to say. I have been in contact with Johnny, but I haven't answered him in some time. I feel kinda bad for not answering his last e-mail, but I don't have much to say. It seems my days are getting really "brisk", if you know what I mean.
In Christ,
Robert
Peace
The reason I didn't really talk to anyone was because I was kind of feeling bad. I, unfortunately, am a person who talks to much. Sometimes, I think my talking is my own cause of why people don't talk to me. That day, I was feeling bad, because most of the kids ignore me and don't really talk to me either. The only people I actually talked to are my best friend, Erin, and my other friend, Stephen. I kept telling them how much I hated myself and I was asking myself why everyone in choir was ignoring me. At one point, I was stupid enough to be ashamed of being a Catholic (that's what happens when a person stops going to Confession often). I told that to Stephen, (he's a Baptist) and he was telling me to not think that. He said that no one ignored me because I was Catholic (my brother and I are the only Catholics in our choir), but maybe because I was just new and the other guys still had their friends. I finally realized that today.
I feel so good right now, because I just came back Confession, and I feel so clean. Between you and me, you wouldn't guess what the priest gave me as penance: he said I must do an Act of Charity. I have to do something nice for someone else. I'm going to try to do that as soon as possible.
Peace be with you,
Robert
To answer your first question, preperation for the competition takes many months (I've been practicing since December). It's difficult, believe me, but you somehow always get them perfect at the last minute. Question 2, I played three songs: 2 solos and 1 concerto (I play the pino solo and my teacher plays the orchestra part on another piano). The two solos are "By The Brook" by Timothy Brown, and "The Fair" by Cornelius Gurlitt. The concerto is called "Celebration" by Lynn Freeman Olson, and I play the 2nd movement, called "Night Lights." I got an excellent score on both of them for now, thank the Lord, but I still have more to do.
I think Johnny is a great person. It's hard to describe him right now, because I'm abounded with sleep and drowsiness. Haha.
I kind of felt bad in choir today, though. I didn't talk to anyone really all day (my practice is from 12 P.M. to 9 P.M.). I kind of felt rejected and ignored, but I'm getting over it now. I know it's just one of the "enemy's" many temptations. Well, gotta go. God bless you. You are in my prayers.
In Christ,
Robert
