High School is a period in one’s life where one grows into the person he will be as an adult while discovering new characteristics about himself. Jesuit develops in its young men a profile that includes five qualities of turning boys into men for others. Jesuit has helped me in my progress in reaching my ultimate goal of being a better man when I enter adulthood. Jesuit has helped me to progress in all five qualities in my first three years, but I believe I have progressed furthest in the qualities of committed to doing justice and loving. In my years at Jesuit I have become more committed to doing justice in multiple ways. I have “become more aware of my selfish attitudes and tendencies which would lead me to treat others unjustly”.

When I was in 9th grade I failed a vocab quiz because I didn’t write it in my planner. My classmate in front of me got an A, and bragged to me about it. I became angry and made a rude remark. I received a P.H. Now whenever I would like to make an insult to a fellow student I curl my tongue. That situation is just one of many that have taught me to treat others more justly by being aware of certain tendencies. I have begun to see “the importance of public opinion and voter influence on local, regional, national, and international policies”. When I first entered Jesuit, I did not care what people really thought of me or if people knew what I really thought of them. I realized in my time at Jesuit that if people like you and they believe you like them, life is a lot easier. I was in 8th grade when I received my first and only Saturday P.H. at Jesuit. When Top called me in for cheating I wasn’t worried because I knew I had not done anything wrong. I entered Top’s office with a smug attitude and didn’t even respond to his questions with “yes sir” and “no sir”. Top soon made me realize that my …show more content…
I have found my “relationships with the opposite sex more mature”. Jesuit is an all boys school, but it teaches valuable lessons about one’s relationships with females. I’ve learned, mostly from sitting around the lunch table, that all girls are not to be looked at solely for the purpose of getting with them. I am a sophomore now at Jesuit and I currently have no girlfriend or any relationship like one, yet I find myself talking to the same girl every day, multiple times a day. We go get food together and we hangout all the time, but we are just friends. I receive many questions each day to if we are a couple. It seems odd for me to think about us together because we are such good friends. I can see why people would think otherwise but in my eyes she is just like any guy friend I might have. In my first years at Jesuit I would not bother being in this kind of relationship with a girl because it seems pointless to do so if we aren’t dating. Through my “service to others, I am beginning to appreciate the satisfaction of giving myself for other people and thereby finding life enriched”. Most of the 8th graders at Jesuit don’t do much to help each other out in school. In 8th grade its everyman for himself, but by the end of freshman year, the students rely on each other. Throughout most of my sophomore year this year I would make flashcards for English class. When a classmate of mine noticed I
Throughout my three years at Barnegat High School I have strived to be a respectful, responsible and influential student and athlete. I have worked hard to stand out among my peers, be dedicated to everything I do, work towards achieving my personal goals and positively influence those around me. As an individual and a young adult, I believe it is the responsibility of younger generations to work towards being the best version of ourselves we can possibly be and positively contribute to others and our community. Overall, I aspire to be a well rounded individual and character that demonstrates the qualities of respect, citizenship, and responsibility.
Every year ever since my goal would be to take home the awarded diploma to the best student in the class. I chose to convey exemplary values to those around me, be it classmates, friends, or family. Although quirky, and having been an only child for the longest and loneliest seven years of my upbringing, I eagerly and earnestly strived to make an effort in becoming a successful and respectable member of my family, neighborhood, and surroundings. I anticipated becoming a role model as a soon-to-be older
This will be my first quater at Drexel. From what I assume college finals will be a lot different from high school finals. In high school, I really would not do much to prepare finals. I would usually just study two days prior to the exam, because that would be all I needed. Typically I would make flash cards for all key terms and points and review those before the test. My study habits were not the best. However, having started college I believe that I have better learned how to study.
As I approach the end of my high school career, I start thinking if I am prepared and ready to face the next step in my life. College is known to test a man’s responsibility in order to prepare him to face the world alone. Jesuit High School has changed my life throughout the years I have attended the school. Jesuit has prepared me for college and taught me how to become a more responsible man. When I was thinking of where I should apply to high school, Jesuit was not my first option; however, coming from a family of Jesuit alumni, I knew it was the only school for me. Throughout my earlier years at Jesuit, I struggled and was miserable due to the overwhelming work and rules I was required to follow. However, I soon realized what the school was about in its mission in turning its students into men for others. I have found that Jesuit High School has transformed me educationally, has made me a more responsible man, and has taught me to be a man for others.
My little cousin, Ella Jane, is in the stages of transitioning into middle school. A “skill” that I have recently mastered. A process that no one knew could be so challenging. That’s why I want to help correctly guide her down the path of priorities, extracurriculars, and friendships.
My most vivid memory of intermediate school, was walking on the red carpet on the first day of fifth grade. At the time, I felt so grown up and mature. Come to realize, I was only ten years old. On the first day, I was so nervous to meet all of the new people that were coming from other elementary schools. Looking back, I shouldn't have been so nervous because I’m sure all of the other kids felt the same way. During those years, I met countless friends including Jayden, Makayla, Ali, Ally, Emily and so many others that I would still consider my friends.
The Sacred Heart School of Montreal aspires for their students to become long-life learners, and I can attest of the fact that this institution has allowed me to not only grow in terms of intellectual ability, but also in the values I respect and prioritizing the latter. I have personally practiced this goal as I have discovered my preferences as to what I enjoy doing versus what I do not prefer doing. For example, over my five years, I have gradually been more and more engaged with sports as I have realized that participating in activities that bring me pleasure is something I highly value. Plus, being surrounded by Goal number 1 “a personal and active faith in God”, has let me recognize the qualities in myself and in a friend that I value. In fact, I discovered that I hold in high regard the qualities of truthfulness, compassion, and trust. To add, I have determined that although I value my friends highly, I value the members of my family
First of all, middle school students part-time job meeting and learning conflict, thus affecting learning. If we go to work after school and vacation, there will be no time to attend to study, so students will learn less time. Besides, middle school students are easily confused by the material society, which will lead to the wrong idea of making money in the first place, which will lead to academic neglect. This is for the middle school students, it is to pick up the sesame and lost the watermelon!
I believe that it would be a wonderful idea to shorten down our classes from eight to seven. Right now at St.Labre our day is eight periods long. Yes, another class would give us additional knowledge, and ordinarily a greater chance to learn something, but seven periods would give us less homework to do. It can give us longer lunch period to help run off some built up energy. And it would give us a longer study hall period to finish our work before we reach home.
My 8th-grade year was mediocre. I had some challenges in 8th grade. Not only, I had some pleasant times. My 8th-grade year wasn’t my best year, but it wasn’t the worst. I had some struggles with some teacher and friends. But, through all the drama it was an average year.
Right now… our school, is a prison. And you, the students, are the prisoners. I’m Prempreet Brar, leader of the Window of Light. Vote for me, and I’ll make sure that I open up your window of opportunity. We will focus on finding a solution for the four main issues that make up our party platform. To improve the safety of our school and community, we will install surveillance cameras to reduce crime and mischief. This investment will save us a lot of money in the long run, as it prevents students from making bad actions. We will encourage safe transportation of our students both to and from school. We will do this by increasing the amount of advertisements around the school that inform students to go to school with a trusted acquaintance.
Thesis: Conformity plays a major role every single day in school, especially private school. Paying thousands of dollars for tuition to attend St.Ignatius School, I received an outstanding and advanced education, but who knew that the amount of academic pressures, social pressures, and peer pressures were to be part of that package. In order to achieve all around, I had to
High school is a time where teenagers beginning to grow and find themselves, so during this stage of their life the are extremely self conscious, and they want nothing more to fit it. Believe it or not you can say that high school is a culture and when you don't fit in you are left behind. That might not sound like a big deal to you but to the people who sit alone at lunch or are always by themselves it hurts, and to them it feels like their whole world is ending. The views of the high school culture dictate whether or not you'll be popular or fit it or if you get bullied and ignored, lucky for us we have a very tolerant campus but at other schools not fitting in and being bullied for who they are could lead to low self esteem, in some extreme cases it could lead to self hurt and even suicide.
High school is your best and worst years of your life. The scariest part of it is that you are in a school for four years and that may not feel long but trust me it is, also you are in a school full of kids that are two-five years older than you. That can be even more scary. But you always have the best time of your life. I remember when it was my summer going into my freshman year, I was so scared but at some time so excited, I was ready for all the Friday night lights(football games), hoco, mums, and most of all new friends. High school is not easy to get through but it's so much fun. Going into Timber Creek I was a soccer player, a cheerleader.So I made new friends from those teams, so I know it was gonna be a great year. When school started it was easy but I had a hard time
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.
