A catechism is one of the many things most of the children here in my place do during summer. A catechism is the study of the beliefs and rituals of the Catholic religion. Also, catechism teaches good manners and inculcating in the young minds how to live like Jesus. When I was a child, I used to attend catechism too. I grew up loving it and in fact, when I was 16 years old I chose to become a volunteer catechist. I guess I have been a summer catechist for 2 years. It is also a good way to develop self-confidence and being able to socialize with other people.
When I was still a student of catechism, we used to do so many things and it was so much fun. We pray. We study about the Catholic religion. We go to the playground and play. I remember how I love the game paint me a picture. I guess when your grandmother is a Catholic devotee, you would really learn to live with its practice as well.
Now that my child is 2 years old, I decided to let him join the catechism this year. It is to prepare him for the next school year as well. I wanted him to be able to know what school is like. It was hard for him at first but I am so glad that on the next day he seems to be used to his teacher and classmates. He started answering questions, smiling but you could still see his shyness. I am just glad that he keeps on trying and he's having so much fun.
Catechists teach so differently now. They seem to be not so serious about teaching the young minds how to pray. When it was my time, we used to give stories to the children like my son's age which is 2 years. We all knew that at this stage of children all they want is to play and telling them stories is another way to interest the children in learning the life of Jesus. But this time, the catechist teaches them on how to write and identify animals. It is still good but it is what school teaches when they go to school.
