Diverse; despite the fact that Salve is a small Catholic university but I was able to learn so much about diversity and the true meaning of it. My journey at Salve helped me engage in different opportunities where I experienced the real meaning of it and how significant it is to make our world a better place. Whether through the classes that Salve offered, different events and festivals, the welcoming community itself or the variety of internships and volunteer opportunities that Salve connected me with, I was able to realize and understand the true meaning of Salve’s mission that revolves around love, respect and acceptance of
Christendom College offers many compelling reasons that have increased my desire to attend this great school. Some of the things that I love about my high school are found at Christendom, such as its challenging, Classical curriculum. I simply loved the classes I was able to attend at the Summer Program and found that I felt at home in those lectures, which were deeply rooted in our Catholic faith. The lectures helped us examine their relevance in our own lives and encouraged us to always seek the truth. I observed that this inspired the whole class to consider the situations and messages in the themes we discuss in class, such as the value of friendship or how history shapes our identity.
The mission of The University of St. Thomas is to “educate morally responsible leaders who think critically, act wisely and work skillfully to advance for the common good,” this statement personally made an impact on my college search because of how it closely it relates to my perception of how I plan to help and benefit the world. Whether it’s future Tommies’, students attending another university, or anyone that believes in creating a brighter and more efficient world, we are all in it for the common good. While the motto of “the common good” can mean many things to a variety of people, I personally believe the common good has to do less of what we can do for ourselves and more about what can we do to improve others lives. The second I stepped

Carrie Shearer ’15 credits the unique range of experiences she had at Saint Joseph’s with helping prepare her for a smooth transition to a top university. “Being a member of the first four-year graduating class at Saint Joe’s was an experience that has changed my life forever,” said Shearer. “It was always an adventure and, more importantly, a privilege to constantly be developing and fostering new aspects of the Saint Joe’s identity, which will last for years to
Imagine a place where everyone is accepted for who they are. A place where kids can discover their true calling and begin to pursue it. A place where the whole community is united in a bond of friendship and trust. No, this place is not heaven, it is South Pointe. I can’t believe that three years have gone by so fast. Three years of learning how to deal with so many classes. Three years of meeting so many great teachers that changed my way of thinking. Three years of making new friends and discoveries that have made my time here at South Pointe so memorable. Here, at South Pointe, I evolved not only academically, but also socially and emotionally. It helped me learn that it’s never too early to find out what your true passion or career goal
The University of Notre Dame is one of America’s oldest institutions for higher education. From the beginning, the purpose was clear: create a Catholic-based school, inept to be a Primary and Secondary establishment to adhere to the ever-growing, young-adult male congregation. Additionally, it needed to be constructed quickly and ready to open in a short amount of time. Located near convenient transit of its day, Notre Dame grew to be one of America’s most elite universities. With a continuously growing number of students and faculty, Notre Dame has not only stood the test of time for 173 years, it has become an American institution.
As you leave to begin your new college experience, please explain how you expect to continue to use the spiritual lessons that you have learned from your time at St. John’s.
In the summer of 2016, I visited the beautiful New Orleans when my church attended the National Youth Gathering. As I walked down the street for the first time, I fell in love with everything that the city has to offer everyone. The vivid memories of lively trumpets, delicious beignets, and kindness of the community members still replay in my mind. On this trip, my group performed a community service project to raise awareness for an organization helping to maintain the city’s safety. However, it was not just helping New Orleans folks I enjoyed, but the interaction with them was intriguing. My visit to this fantastic city was prominent in my life, and I would see that I spend as much time as with the community as possible. Therefore, Tulane University is a perfect fit for me because New Orleans holds unparalleled culture and Tulane’s passion for providing meaningful opportunities to impact the community.
Throughout the course of my youth, I have been transfixed by the overwhelming urge to decipher the way others feel- continuously attempting to better the lives of those around me all the while bettering myself in the process. I have embraced this calling through my work in several public service organizations, most notably Children’s Trust and Health Initiative Project. Accordingly, FSU’s community of service oriented individuals greatly appeals to me.
Having discovered my calling to work with nontraditional students, I took a position with St. Charles Youth and Family Services as a Teacher of Experiential Education. This position allowed me to interact with urban students from MPS who were expelled, court ordered or Special Education students who were deemed best suited to self-contained program. I loved the challenge every day. Every student was so different, but they all wanted and craved the same thing… acceptance and unconditional love. I wanted more.
I have only been a Gwynedd Mercy University student for just nine months now and I have already learned so much. This school has changed the person I was before in high school for the better and I could not be more thankful. Gwynedd Mercy University has a distinct heritage that many other schools do not get to experience. When these next three years are over and I become a Distinctive Mercy Graduate, it will mean that for the past four years, I have shaped a new identity, gained new values, and discovered new attitudes in life that if I did not attend this university, I would not have gained otherwise.
Nevertheless, I believe that nothing represents me better than the Humanities Scholars program. In this program, my fascination with culture and community appear to be fantastically represented as well as my passion to serve: I have spent time over the last several years volunteering with children and animals, such as through my library’s Tail Waggin’ Tutors project, and it appears as though the Humanities program offers similar intriguing opportunities. Although several programs seem to embody fragments of myself, I’ve discovered through Honors and Scholars Day that only the Humanities Scholars program provides me, who until now has been indecisive in what I desire from college, a feeling of belonging and a plan for
The mission of Hope and Joy University is modeled after the human validation process, where we place emphasis having open dialogue, clearer communication, better interactions with others, and enhanced growth potential. Our program is experiential in nature, stressing a family system of balance and nurture, while building self-esteem (Goldenberg & Goldenberg, 2013).

As a first generation-student graduating college was a big accomplishment for my family and I. However, graduating as an honors student/mentor and trustee of the Multicultural Student Association at my university was an even more noble accomplishment. I sat on the executive board as the treasurer for three consecutive years. While serving as the association’s treasurer, I managed the club’s finances, promoted and organized events throughout campus, and motivated other students to take part in spreading cultural awareness throughout our campus community.
Literature is representative of the time in which it is produced. Literature can reflect societal views, attitudes, and fears.Vampire literature, in particular, often represents the fears of a society.In the Victorian Era, a time of intense sexual repression, it was common for vampire stories to reflect the fear of sexuality that was rampant in society.
