Your essay needs to be personal: include what your resolutions were, why they were a challenge to you, and how it affected you personally! Your essay should be broken into paragraphs (a good essay should have 5 paragraphs: introduction, 3 body paragraphs, and a conclusion). Make sure you use good spelling and punctuation! I will grade you based on how well your essay is written. Do not use run-on sentences, and do not make your whole essay one paragraph. 

Note: if students can prove (through an attendance record signed by a priest or faculty member) that they attended Mass each of the six Sundays of Lent AND at least one weekday for each of the six weeks at Mary Star High School, they will be exempt from writing the one-page essay. Friday Stations of the Cross at Mary Star High School will also satisfy the second part of this requirement (provided that a faculty member certifies their attendance).

The definitions of marriage, family, and communion (see below).
That human dignity (worthiness) is based on what we are by nature, and men and women are both equally human (rational animals) by nature, so men and women are equal in dignity. Being men or women does not change our nature.
Catholics should understand different gender roles as complementary, not competition. Your happiness is not about being superior to anyone else, but about living out what you are called to be, as a man or woman made in God's image.
Nature clearly intends two sexes in human beings because two sexes are necessary for reproduction. The fact that in human life, almost equal numbers of men and women are produced is a sign that human nature is made for marriage (in other words, a lifelong, monogamous, sexual relationship between one man and one woman.)
Definitions. MEMORIZE them precisely.
Marriage: the lifelong communion of a man and woman, established by their free consent, for the sake of the generation and education of children.
Family: the communion of a husband, his wife, and their children.
Communion: a multitude of persons in which each person somehow lives or shares the life of every other person.
