Admission Essay To Boston College

Attending my Catholic school is a gift as well as a privilege and I have gratitude for the opportunity. Because I see my school as a gift, I have academic goals and put 100% effort into them. An academic goal that I have is to work hard for superior grades while continuing to become proficient with educational skills such as writing, reading, oral and written communication, science, and mathematics. Additionally, I plan to continue to get to know myself and to learn about possible careers that might interest me. A career that I am currently interested in involves the fields of dentistry and surgery. Plus at my school, we learn about personal responsibility and personal initiative in our morals and behaviors. Another goal is that I want to

Situated in the diverse city of Houston and the only Catholic university in the city, I believe that the University of St. Thomas will provide me with innumerable opportunities to study communications and psychology, as well as prepare me for graduate studies in dance movement therapy, which is my ultimate career goal. St. Thomas seems like a perfect fit for me, especially the smaller class sizes and the individualized attention students receive. I believe that I will be able to succeed there as a student, thriving alongside like-minded students and learning from intelligent professors. I particularly love St. Thomas because of it’s affiliation with the Roman Catholic Church, a religion I have actively been involved with my whole life. Growing up and in the Chicago area, I was privileged to attend a Catholic school. Faith, service, and life’s purpose are a few of the topics I enjoyed learning and discovering. Graduating

When in the early stages of planning my life, I knew exactly what it was I inspired to do. I wanted to save lives. I did not know how I was going to complete that task at hand, but I knew that I was going to be saving someone’s life. So, starting nursing school was one of the jubilant moments of my life. I am ecstatic to be on my journey on becoming a well-rounded and educated nurse. Nursing is a profession that requires a great deal of care and knowledge of the human body and as a nurse I plan to be cultivated and discerning.

When I venture into my monomyth journey, my call to adventure will start at Cal Poly Pomona.

Having attended catholic school for twelve years, I am extremely thankful and appreciative for the education and values I have received throughout my life. Catholic University sparks my interest because I will be able to continue my catholic schooling and expand my knowledge and faith at this prestigious university. Receiving a catholic education has been a great sacrifice made by my parents, but overall I have benefited immensely and wouldn’t want to have it any other way. My grade school and high school has provided me with an excellent education and has allowed me to grow and evolve in my faith. I expect to do the same at Catholic University. Catholic gives me the opportunity to receive a wonderful education and continue to grow in my faith.

I can best be defined within the realms of my commitment to self and others as this increases my development as a stronger leader, a better person, and a contributing member of society. For me, having a meaningful life would entail being successful in a career that enables me to give back to others and my community. These goals and ambitions are well aligned with Babson’s self defined notion of creating great economic and social value everywhere.

Before entering the Lehman College Nursing program., my motives for becoming a nurse wasn’t always been as set in place as they are now. Knowing full well that my decision to enter the nursing field was one I was not entirely certain of, I decided to embark on the journey nonetheless. During my first year of study at Lehman College I was kept very busy trying to juggle all of my courses and at the same time decide if this was indeed the program for me. When I entered the Lehman College nursing program, after getting to know my teachers, their expectations of me, as well as starting into the clinical experience, I discovered that I seemed to fit in very well into the program. Not only was I doing well in the academic aspect of the nursing program

Therefore, they have all talked to me about how great a Jesuit education is. I care about my future so an opportunity to receive one of the best educations available is a “dream come true”. Many people I know have been inspirations for me to do my best, especially my father. My dad was one of the best ski jumpers/racers in the nation. So good that he was offered scholarships to some of the best colleges for winter sports. Sadly, he spent more time training than on his school work so they couldn’t accept him. My dad has talked to me countless times about just how important my education is, and that it defines my whole future. These two lessons from both my parents, both about the importance of education, help me realize just how lucky I am to have the chance of going to a Jesuit high

I had no idea what I was getting myself into when I signed up in 2012 but, I knew that I wanted to create change in this world and with nine measly credit hours I knew it would be a journey. I came here much like all the other students, in a rush, focused on obtaining that degree. Quickly, I found out Loyola had other plans, to transform my life. As the largest Jesuit university Loyola sets one goal, “we are set on preparing people to lead extraordinary lives, providing growth at every corner—from ignorance to understanding, from isolation to dialogue,from indifference to moral responsibility.” This goal is weaved throughout every course, ingrained in

At the core of the Jesuit philosophy is the idea of achieving “magis” and being a part of something greater than oneself. I want to attend an institution where concern for the common good is prevalent throughout the student body because this is integral to my personal philosophy. I do not want to study Psychology solely because it is fascinating; I want study Psychology so that I may one day help others achieve emotional and mental healing as my father does. By spending my four undergraduate years at Georgetown, I would be able to immerse myself in a community united by our desire to better the world around

Over the course of this course, I have been challenged to think about certain issues and look at them with a different perspective. It has been an informative course in which has sharpened my skills as a writer, speaker and overall thinker. This course teaches the fundamentals of Jesuit values and public speaking. Exposure of things like rhetoric, LMU’s mission statement, and the book Persepolis have made me more open minded and gain more control of my use of language and thoughts as a whole.

Coming from a Jesuit high school, I know how incredible Jesuit education is. It treats students as more than their test scores and GPA's and educates them as a whole person, mind body and soul. My primary goal in life is to fulfill the purpose for which God put me on this earth. I believe Boston College can most certainly help me accomplish this with a well-balanced education in academics, morality, as well as the professional networking through the people I meet. As I learned in my Morality course, humans were created to praise, reverence, and serve God. There are perhaps infinite ways to serve God as anything that causes myself or others true, righteous joy fulfills our purpose as humans. With the help of Boston College, I can further

For many their years of adolescence is a time of growth, learning, and life experience in which a teenager comes to better know himself. Nearing the end of high school and college on the horizon, one must become aware of his personality, strong suits, and weaknesses to better develop himself into a virtuous man. He must grow in many ways both physically and spiritually before becoming able and ultimately being an independent man. Acknowledging this growth of adolescence, Jesuit High School has developed a profile that a Jesuit graduate should display at the time of graduation. I believe that through my high school years I have best grown in my intellectual competence and my commitment to doing justice.

I would like to learn more about the history of my faith and I would like to explore the deeper meaning Catholicism, and learn the about Scripture and the values of the Catholic Church. All and all, I would like to grow in my faith at Saint Joseph High School, and really learn what it means to be Catholic. In Saint Joe’s, I would like to progress in my Spiritual journey, and learn more and more about Jesus Christ.

I believe I live up to the qualification of loyalty to the Jesuit ideals of higher education through my active participation in many of the classes, clubs, and jobs here on campus, as well as my continuous effort to participate in all the events the college has to offer. I believe that since many of the classes, clubs, and events are founded at the college, they are already rooted in the Jesuit ideals and values and thus, my active participation in them throughout my college career so far has allowed me to unconsciously live up to these standards.
