Praying as we go

I, personally, really enjoy the prayer we do in the beginning of class because it gives me a chance to take a breath and relax. Even after first block, I get extremely stressed and the prayer allows me to reflect on ways to make my day better and successful. Also, I can think about aspects of my life that don't involve school that I need to improve or deal with. Every day I look forward to this reflection and prayer because it helps me build my spiritual life, as well as give me an opportunity to relax and meditate.
