Activity 2: "Success" Reflection 

Make a new sub page titled "Success" under "Reflection." Pick two of the following prompts on the webpage. Answer each question using two or more paragraphs (Remember a paragraph is 5 or more sentences). Write out the questions you are responding to so Mr. Q may know when he grades your responses. Be sure to reference parts of the book and use quotes (unless it is a personal reflection). 

• In life, we are often too focused on the results. We think being smart is getting an A on a test, but that does not necessarily mean we are smart. How different would your life be if measured success the same way as G-Dog? What are some specific steps you can take to measure success like G-Dog?

• All Jesus asks is “Where are you standing?” and... “are you still standing there?” How would you answer His questions?

• How do we remain “faithful and persistent in our fidelity even when things seem not to succeed?” Support with 2 examples (1 must be biblical, 1 personal).

• Is Fr. Greg’s statement true that “If our primary concern is results, we will choose to work only with those who give us good ones”? Support this claim with 3 examples (1 personal, 1 from Homeboy, 1 global).

• Pick one of the parables. Explain how one of the people in the parables demonstrated one or more of the Catholic Social Teachings (CSTs).
