MAKING LIFE UNIQUE Dominic Kern is a very individ- ualistic and special person. He tries to make his life unique through his personal interests. One of his major interests is the less-than-mainstream music that he enjoys. He listens to such bands as the Clash, Public Image Limited, the 3 O ' Clock and X. Dominic hopes that through his actions, the people around him will become more aware of whom Christ is and what the Church is. His non-Catholic friends at home often ask him about various Catholic doctrines and beliefs. Dominic appreciates the voca- tional support that he gets from his parents and friends. Dominic loves to be with chil- dren. He says that whether he be- comes a priest or not he wants to make children a part of his life. Children teach him about simplic- ity and trust. He recalled Christ ' s words, Let the children come to me and do not hinder them, (Mark 10:14). 1. Seniors enjoy an afternoon game of raquctball together. 2. Diego Hernandez deepens his faith by praying the Rosary. Academics occupy a large part of Mark Hcbert ' s day. 4. Phone calls help keep Miguel Me- dina in touch with family and friends.
