The Sister asked me to tutor a boy in some basic English with his textbook. It was the first time that I heard the sound of a zither; I was profoundly moved by the voice of God. So I always pay attention to monasteries. I don't compare myself right now to that future self, so I feel satisfied because I cherish every day that God gives us. I appreciate how far I've come. I'm xx years old (now). I'm afraid of staying where I am because there is no permanent security in this world. The clock is ticking, and the only way to pursue something meaningful is by deepening our faith. I also need to sharpen my social skills by meeting with other volunteers to share a biblical, spiritual, or liturgical theme. I believe that silence sharpens our attention. I’m eager to find silence in this constantly buzzing world. I try to talk less and against the dictatorship of noise. I have good relationships with my co-workers and students due to familiarity, and I’m being used by them for studying, which, of course, is my pleasure. I’m happy to provide the knowledge that students need. However, familiarity doesn't promote intimacy, because our relationships are task-oriented or utility oriented. On the other hand, sacred silence is full with intimacy. Of course, I’m open to any flexibility. However, because I have a knee condition caused by an old injury, I’m not very confident with garden work. The only thing I am concerned about is that I couldn't contribute as much as other young people. I’ve even encountered misunderstandings due to this injury, with some people thinking that I don’t work hard. Our society is highly results-oriented, often neglecting employees' well-being. But I’m trying to improve through different exercises and working with physical therapists. Thank you for your consideration. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you need any other information. Blessings, X
