“ The more you pray , the more you read your Bible , the more you learn the stories that are there , the easier it [ being zealous ] becomes ,” said Mr . Lozano .
Lower Secondary SEW was held on Sept . 28 to 30 and strongly conveyed the theme of “# Xealots ”. Students were presented the opportunity to grasp what a zealous lifestyle looks like .
“ Being zealous means being passionate about who I am and learning about what I like to do and learning more about who I really am and my identity ,” said Julie Lee , eighth-grader . She continued ,“ I felt like I learned more things about myself and I know exactly what I ’ m heading for now . I feel like I am passionate about communicating and sharing . I learned more about myself and my identity ; who I am as a person .”
Many students were affected greatly internally as a person , as many of them tied the idea of a zealot into their life experiences and their feelings towards being zealous . Nicole Wang , an eighth-grader , said , “ The theme of # Xealots made me feel like I was a valuable person and that God knows and loves me . I was able to look back at my past and think about what I am interested in and what I like to do .”
In addition to the students ’ thoughts and feelings , Mr . Lozano and the Frontline students enjoyed the many activities they planned . Mr . Lozano and the Frontline team offered fun learning experiences to show zeal in the staff and students ’ life . “ The Breakout sessions were where we were able to talk through some issues with the kids , and I think that was helpful ,” said Mr . Lozano as he explained the activities which targeted the theme the most .
All in all , SEW ended in success as many students were able to both enjoy and learn new concepts closely related to the theme of “# Xealots ”.
