Personal Narrative: Being A Part Of The Catholic Leadership

As an aspiring teacher, I believe that my primary duty is to assist my students to advance in all aspects of their own personal growth, spiritual as well as intellectual and academic. The Catholic School is an ideal place to achieve this goal. The sense of comfort and security that comes from being surrounded by others who overall share the same values and religion is nurturing for the students and allows the teacher to give of

Getting the opportunity to go to St. Louis Catholic Church was a great experience for me, St.Louis Catholic Church is a great, loving, caring place where you will get to learn your faith, I really did enjoy every second. I live in Crystal Beach Texas, but I choose to come to St.Louis Catholic Church because I knew it is such a great church where,I was able to learn my religion. I love my teachers they are very supportive and loving.

My greatest desire is to not only receive an outstanding technical education but also grow as a conscientious and socially responsible individual. In the next four years, I envision myself in an environment that fosters a genuine sense of family among motivated peers. I want to belong to a school where I can development in my character as well as my Catholic faith, even in the midst of rigorous academic work. I look

Earning my undergraduate degree from Seattle University has opened a lot of doors and has expanded my ability to reflect on my life, my intellectual progress and my purpose to find direction. My persistence and determination to advance my education is to increase my knowledge, to become a successful leader and to enhance my contribution to society. In order for me to have a true academic rigor, I believe having the integrity of the Jesuit teaching could help me understand and guide me through the process. I have always found a personal and a professional sense of purpose from a Jesuit tradition.

Our task is to choose two Jesuit secondary schools and to learn about their approach to the Jesuit teachings and beliefs. The first school, Fordham Preparatory School, is located in the United States. The second school Loyola High School is located in Canada. These schools wouldn 't be here today if it wasn 't for St. Ignatius of Loyola and his creation of the Society of Jesus (Jesuits) in 1540. We will explain the dual purpose of Jesuit education and how both schools incorporate it, the history and general information of both schools, how they compare to Fairfield Prep, and how both schools show compassion.

The Jesuit way is one of helping others, serving your community and giving good will. Many people who were educated by Jesuits are successful such as Jim Irsay, the owner of the Indianapolis Colts. If you take the Jesuit way you are taking the right one. I know many friends and family who attended Loyola, St. Ignatius and Marquette University and were very successful in their life ( father,aunts,uncles and cousins). The Jesuit experience at Loyola could help me grow and do great

Of the many reasons a Jesuit education appeals to me, the most predominant reason is rooted in my belief that an education based on character formation and living meaningfully will guide my intellectual and personal growth during college. Throughout my life, many experiences that I have endured have shaped my character and constructed my personal goals and academic interests for my potential attendance at Boston College.

Cathedral High School is a prestigious and catholic school at El Paso available strictly for men and 9th graders to 12th graders trying to accomplish excellence in their students, preparing them for their college studies. The school's mission referred in their website is "Cathedral High School teach students lead through holistic and competitive environments, and also cultivate our school's intellectual, athletic and spiritual gifts in them." The mission is accompanied by a beautiful quote from the bible. This essay will review Cathedral's website aspects regarding intended audience, understandable report of their core message, structure, and if its organization is convenient enough to surf on it.

There have been several times where I have shown leadership here at Saint Viator. I have been a part of Service and Song every summer, where I have lead 6th through 8th graders who are interested in helping others, and dedicated in bettering our community. Every year I have been a group leader, leading them through our service trips, leading them through group discussions, and leading icebreakers. When doing this I made sure to get everyone involved and make everyone feel comfortable with each other. I also had the honor of really getting to know the kids who will one day be walking through our halls. For me being, a leader means always doing the right thing and inspiring others. Another time I have shown leadership is when I didn’t have a

I believe that leaders must accept the crucibles and acid test so that they can identify their value, and accomplish their great dream and tough missions. As the author of the “Crucibles of leadership” mentioned that leaders should equip with the following essential skills, namely, “engage others in shared meaning, a distinctive, compelling voice, integrity, and adaptive capacity.1 We know how these essentials important, however, we don’t understand how to obtain these elements as well as how to employ them, because the overconfidence always blind us. Thus, people who desire to become the leaders need to go through the crucible test.

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.

As Catholic Connections comes to a close, Ruth and I complete our service project during her visit during spring break. She had completed her side of the project earlier in the year, while back in New Jersey, and donated her and her friend’s and family’s clothes to a clothing drive at her church. I was planning to do my project alone as well, but at the beginning of the 2016 year, I was told that she and her family would be coming to visit during Spring Break. When she arrived in Utah, we had to wait until later in the week, when she had more time. When she did, we walked to a Big Brothers Big Sisters of Utah Clothing donation box. With two bags of clothes in hand, we donated the clothing and spoke about how Ruth had volunteered there, when

I was professed on Palm Sunday, April 15, 1984. There were four of us – Janice and Dick McCarthy, who now belong to St. Clare fraternity in Delaware. Jerry Hopp, who is now enjoying his reward in the communion of saints. We were professed at St. Elizabeth’s Church, Ellerslie Avenue, in Baltimore City. Our formation director, who shall remain nameless, left the Order after losing an election. In 1983-84 we had many people seeking a deeper spiritual way of life, through the Secular Franciscan Order. At the time I was in initial formation, Mary Our Queen had two groups. Our group started before the second group, but they were professed first. We asked for more time to discern because we became aware of how serious a commitment we were

My husband and I agree whole heartedly that Catholic High School is the place for Blain to thrive spiritually, academically, and socially. Blain strongly desires to grow in his faith. As a family, we believe the brotherhood at Catholic High School will allow him to grow more in this area than any other school. Moreover, catholic education and values entwined in his daily routine are essential for us and Blain. Academics have been a strong focus in our family. As an educator, I have researched all of the schools in our area; Catholic High School leads the way in ACT scores, graduation rates, curriculum integrity, and university attendance. Blain has an intrinsic desire to learn; therefore we want him to attend the best school to provide

As E. D. White's mission statement says, our school's purpose is to "impart the Catholic faith, promote academic excellence, and enhance self-esteem." By living out this mission statement, E. D. White becomes a strong-knit community of faith, knowledge, and service. Ever since my first day of eighth grade these qualities have been evident through the students and faculty of E. D. White. Every morning when I arrive at school there is a teacher there telling everyone good morning and to have a good day. This simple gesture can brighten someone's day significantly.
