Growing Up In The Roman Catholic Church

Throughout my freshman year at Notre Dame Preparatory I have participated in many new activities that have allowed me to grow in character, leadership, and service. Examples of such activities include school athletics, membership in the United States Civil Air Patrol, and ushering at my Catholic parish. Through school athletics I have not only grown in my athletic ability in the sports of track and cross country, but I have grown in my ability to move through adversity and challenges. In addition to my participation in school sports I joined the United States Air Force Auxiliary, the Civil Air Patrol. Through Civil Air Patrol I have grown tremendously through classes every week, a week long training

Education is the gradual process of meaning making and acquiring “knowledge.” One views the world through his or her own set of lenses or filters, from his or her own perspective, and the mind of the learner attempts to connect new information to existing schema to make new connections. These constructions and connections in the brain become "knowledge." Therefore, knowledge when people begin to understand facts or information through experience and/or learning. We begin to realize, through knowledge, details that we learn in isolation are actually interconnected. Education can be intentional or unintentional and can occur everywhere and at any time. Education is greatly influenced by affective factors and social context. It has both internal and external value, both to a person and to all of society.

Education is the knowledge, skill, and understanding that you get from attending a school, college, or university. There are many different methods when it comes to educating, this all starts in the schools, depending on how that particular school system decides to educate the students attending. Education has changed a lot throughout the years, however, a student also has to be willing to learn on their own. The best practices when it comes to education is a teacher that is ready to teach alongside a student that is ready to retain that knowledge use it not only inside the classroom but in the world around them as well.

The challenging academics at The Academy of the Holy Angels were what I longed for. My successes in the challenging courses I take at my new school have given me the opportunity to thrive in many different ways. My academic achievements spilled into my extracurricular activities. My devotion to the performing arts and my success in its curriculum allowed me to be inducted into the Thespian Honor Society. Similarly, my acceptable grade Italian class allowed to participate in the class trip to Europe.

What is education? According to Webster’s Dictionary education is defined as, (noun) 1: the action or process of being educating or of being educated, 2: the field of study that deals mainly with methods of teaching and learning in schools. What does education provide for us? How important is education in today’s society?

High school plays a pivotal role in a student's life, helping to decide what type of person they want to become. The best high schools go one step further, giving students the skills and tools needed to move on to college and realize their passions and dreams. My personal Skutt Catholic experience fully prepared me for college and beyond with a top-notch education that gives every student the necessary resources to begin a life of empowering others, promoting justice, and initiating change. It has represented the "Legend of the Skyhawk" and formed me into the young man I am today through abundant opportunities in scholarship, friendship, and leadership.

Growing up going to a Catholic school and being a part of the Catholic faith my entire life has undoubtedly shaped me to the person that I am today. I have always done service without hesitation because it is just part of who I am and what I have been taught to do throughout the years. Throughout the years I have been apart of many different service organizations and projects. Some examples oh the community service I have been apart of would include Luke 18, Vacation Bible School, PSR teacher assistant, and School events that require student aid. The total amount of service hours I have on record with St. Dominic is one hundred and five hours as of Junior year.

Education. It has one meaning, but conjures up diverse experiences based on the person and period of their life. Had I been asked the definition of education from the age of five to ten, my answer would have simply been: “Howe Hall AIMS.” Containing kindergarten to fifth grade, the Arts Infused Magnet School, also known as AIMS, managed to maintain a small student body. Due to a minuscule population and minimal admissions after kindergarten, there was a camaraderie among all. Toward the end of fifth grade, I faced the decision of keeping the camaraderie, environment, and close friends or leaving it all for another school. After much consideration, I chose to leave. However, the decision I made vaulted me into a school where I was virtually

Education is one of the main consents in our lives. According to Google, the definitions of education is that: “the process of receiving or giving systematic instructions, especially at a school or university”,”the theory and practice of teaching”,” the body of knowledge acquired while being education” and etc. Education starts when we are in preschool and stays with us until we graduate college. My opinion of education is different of google’s definition as in it is not giving and receiving instructions but is giving and receiving information that will help you in the future, and that will allow you to move forward in life. Education doesn’t have to be exciting every single school day but it does have to hook the students and make them

This final goal establishes that as members of the Sacred Heart community, we are consistently given the chance to exercise self-discipline, responsible decision-making and accountability. This school has set a strong list of rules and regulations that the student body must obey and adhere showing an example of how we must come to respect the guidelines from the administration. I have demonstrated this goal as a Sacred Heart student by becoming part of the Student council as it allows me to demonstrate leadership on a daily basis which has taught me skills such as decisiveness, time management, and communication, all necessary qualities of a strong leader. To add, being part of numerous English and French BLCs along with DASHABUSTADD and Christmas Wishes has allowed to grow in self-knowledge and develop a greater amount of self-confidence while discovering my comfort zone and when I am able to go beyond

In turn, I have been shaped and enormously influenced by these forces and the dogmas our school is founded upon, which have formed who I am as an individual, a member of the collective and a leader. St Hilda’s has given me the ground to cultivate my passions whether it’s sports like touch football or softball, creative writing or art, engineering or making a difference to less fortunate through programs like the Smith Family, World Challenge or even the coffee shop. I am so grateful for being presented with so many opportunities, that I in turn want to guide others in discovering what they love and what they can do for our

“Ed-u-ca-tion: the process of receiving or giving systematic instruction, especially at school or university.” This is the definition of education. Focus on those last few words, “especially at school or university.” Going to school and university is now just known as the “traditional” way of education. The “traditional” way is the most common, this meaning you use text books, pens, pencils and have an actual qualified instructor in front of you. You may think this is the only way. However, society is changing, education along with it. Education has evolved, it had become something bigger. An example of this is shown through “The Year of the MOOC” by Laura Pappano. MOOC is a “massive open online course”. Instead of going to a regular class

Life is a consistent movement. People have experienced their childhood in a wide range of neighborhoods, schools, and with individuals from a wide range of foundations. One’s surroundings during their childhood make quite a bit of their identity today considering where they grew up. Through the greater part of the adjustments throughout one’s life, or maybe as a result of them, one has to keep up and gain a one of a kind identity and qualities.

Growing up in a Catholic household there were many rules and beliefs I was taught to just accept. As I got older most I truly believed and tried to live my life by. Others I questioned. I started high school at Holy Family school my freshman year as a varsity cheerleader thinking I was “on top of the world.” it was the first time I had finally felt I had some sort of freedom.

Education is the process of learning that can take place anywhere and at any time. I believe that creativity and activity as well as books and lessons are essential to the learning process. As a teacher, I hope to instill in the children a sense of knowledge and self-worth that will remain with them throughout their lives.
