Assignment #4- Sam Chavez- conflicted

I never find myself conflicted too much. Probably because I'm pretty stubborn so I'll always know what I want. But there has been an ongoing conflict through the last year or so. My mom works at a large Baptist Church downtown. It's youth group is massive, supportive, and has some of my closest friends in it. Since my mom works there, I have the opportunity to take part a lot of their bigger youth group activities like the summer camp named passport, or their spring break retreats. They always leave me changed and feeling renewed. However, my church on the other hand is crawling with old men and women and about 4 people my age. This is to be expected I guess given that Catholicism is much older but it just never feels like its fun to be there participating in any youth group activity they have. So recently I've been struggling trying to figure out where I belong. Being half dipped in both groups but never being fully submerged in one is difficult. Can't give you a solid conclusion simply because it hasn't happened yet. I'm still trying to navigate where I belong between these two groups but I'm sure it'll all work itself out. Hopefully.
