Graduation Speech: The Crusader Crazies

Good morning Principle Boyd, proud parents, faculty, and fellow graduates, to this extraordinary celebration breakfast, in honor of Our Lady of Grace Catholic School Class of 2017. Yes, I am graduating 8th grade, but I still have to make my bed, be nice to my siblings, do my chores, I cannot drive a car, I must continue putting my Iphone into my locker every night, so that I will not be grounded!  Nevertheless, I am graduating from Our Lady of Grace Catholic School, and I feel like I found a pot-of-gold at the end of the rainbow.

Essays have always seemed like just another assignment. Rarely did I like doing them and most of the time I did not like the prompt. Essays were straight forward and very dull. You were given a question about something in class and told to write about it. So far college English has been different. The class takes an abstract point of attack. There is still a prompt but is about more complex and controversial issues. This would have to make me think critically and in an unorthodox manner. This, however, was not my main worry. At the beginning of the year I had two major concerns going into a college level English class. Grammar and mechanics, those are the two words that have always been brought up in parent-teacher conferences or written in red ink on my paper. I was not very worried about making a thesis or analyzing quotes. One thing I rarely did in high school was revision. It was either last minute or I thought the essay was already good enough. The first essay was proof of a lack of revisions. The prompt asked us to take our rough draft, revise it, than make more revisions to that paper so that it can become your final copy. I did not make an attempt to do a revised copy. I did however revise my first draft and went straight the final essay. During this process my analyzing could always be more in depth (clarity was also an issue through out primary and secondary education). Although receiving a slightly better grade on my first paper, it had more mistakes and had less

Holmes High School pride comes in many different ways. Whatever it may be, students demonstrate pride in their school in various ways. Holmes’ student doesn’t have to participate in sport or any other activities. You can happy show spirit by just wearing the school color or any spirit wear. Holmes High School get a lot of involvement from student and parents. Parents love to be involvement in any after school activities. Parental involvement continues to be a driving force in the well-being of the schools. In order for kids to be more successful, parents must be actively involved in their achievements. For example, for every girl’s game you would see their parents in the stands cheering them on. Student get more involve with spirit week,

School spirit tends to be a more complex and involved concept than wearing colors on Fridays and attending occasional football games in the fall - it’s ingrained into new students the moment they step foot onto campus, whether they like it or not. If or how it manifests is up to the individual, but school pride could be compared to a disease, one that bleeds into the neurological system and remains hidden until a student who typically cares little for their school is defending it like nobody’s business against someone who has challenged it. On that account, it’s nearly incontrovertible that Cooper City High School has the most contagious case of school spirit in Broward County. It’s our core and our very essence; if one word was to be

It is with great pleasure that I welcome you back to another academic year here at Prince George’s Community College. As our students return to campus and our faculty and professional staff prepare for the busy weeks and months to come, I wanted to take a few moments to look ahead to an exciting fall term and beyond, as well as share a few of the College’s highlights from the past year—a year that has seen us continue our growth and evolution into one of the most dynamic and exciting institutions in the region.

Thank you for reaching out to William Peace University! I’ve received your contact submission regarding your application. I’ve tried calling your cell, but I may have called at a bad time.

Escondido Christian School (ECS) is a wonderful school. I have been going here since preschool, and I have over years I have seen things that are possible to change.. Maybe like more electives or change up the softball fields, little things like that. Or by adding a culinary arts class, or more girly things like cheer, higher sewing class, or even a separate drama class. This year we have gotten news that you are taking the younger children and giving them practice for the next year's play. Honestly, that is one of your brightest ideas you’ve had for this school. Two of my ideas, and what I will be writing about in this letter is upgrading the softball fields, and the equipment.

Thank you for reaching out to William Peace University! We will absolutely send out a packet of information along with some WPU materials. Thank you for the opportunity!

Hello, and welcome to Escondido Christian School (ECS). In this essay I will be giving you some tips and tricks on how to survive Jr. high! Jr. high is definitely more difficult than elementary school, but ECS is very good at helping you grow in your faith and your knowledge. At ECS you will learn three very important things that will help you get through school. These three things are education, organization, and socialization.

First off I just wanted to say thank you for your service because if it was not for you we would not be writing essays right now. I just have to say, I like the words of Abraham Lincoln’s quote who said, “My dream is of a place and a time where America will once again be seen as the last best hope on earth.” I love the word “Dream” and the part of the quote about the “America’s best and last hope on the earth.” The best last hope on earth makes me happy to read because I believe it is true. America’s gift to my generation is hope.

I would first like to start off by thanking you and the Sandra Day O Connor School of Law for offering me admittance for this school year. I am greatly honored by being offered the chance to be a student and have a seat in this year’s class. Earlier in the year, I had the opportunity to observe a criminal law class at Armstrong Hall and doing so ensured me that I was making the right choice by applying to ASU Law.

“Mercy: the bridge that connects God and man, opening our hearts to the hope of being loved forever, despite our sinfulness.” -Pope Francis. The year of mercy comes every fifty years and I feel blessed to have spent a portion of my eighth grade year in the 2016 Jubilee. High school can be a difficult period, and I know that Mercy will help me through my freshman year. I hope to accomplish many things at Bishop Kelly through mercy, I know the obstacles, opportunities for guidance and kindness, and the goals I make going into freshman year will help me accomplish all of them. Mercy is a wonderful gift, it will help me through the challenges, opportunities for leadership and service, and the goals I have for my four years of being a knight.

“Nah, the official blue Gyrmite lights will make you nauseous after. Guess it’s a shame there wasn’t a riot on the day you met her. That way it could have rained blue Gyrmite and everything would be forgotten, not just the rebellion but her face. Guess some things just aren’t meant to be.”

Observing the actions of the morning students of Queens College has a strange feeling of violating someone space. Before beginning this observation assignment, I am wondering if someone will approach me inquiring for identification or just to ask me what am I doing here. Sorry for such negative feeling but the acts of 911 has everyone on alert (for which is surely justifiable). So, to endure the possibility of having to explain my being to another person will have to do. I guess such inconveniences are small compared to what might happen if we don’t inquiry about weird behaviors.

May 18, 2016, will be a significant day for me and as it approaches, I am continuously caught in the emotional tension of trepidation and excitement; on that day, I will be ordained to the Priesthood. The season of intentional preparation over the past twelve months has been sobering and humbling as the Lord, in his grace, has combed through my heart, exposing the vileness of my sinfulness while lovingly disciplining and drawing my heart back to him. This class, throughout the pre-reading, lectures, the post-reading, and writing proved to be immensely valuable in my priestly preparatory journey. The most haunting, yet captivating theme was that of seeking the Lord. 1 and 2 Chronicles place a great deal of focus on the necessity of the
