Personal Narrative: I Went To A Catholic School

My desire to work in the Catholic School system stems primarily from the ability to share my faith openly in such an environment, however, the Catholic School’s focus on the growth of the whole person, spiritual and academic and its commitment to service in the community and the world are also very important to me.

I go to Mt. Zion Baptist Church. I’m on the praise team and today, we are having an affable concert. We are inviting all churches in Albany and surrounding towns to come and revere with us. My sister is also on the praise team. She is having an indolence attitude. She says she doesn’t want to go even though she committed to earlier this month. As her sister and captain of the pre team, I encouraged her to come along. The whole way to the church she was being desecrate.

I spent a year of college trying to be African. Afrobeats vibrated through the walls of Beets-Veenstra’s first floor dorm. My Christian college had an open-door policy. Walking past the ninth door on the left gave visitors an eyeful of my black hips swaying in circles as if an invisible hula-hoop entangled my waist. I had to get the moves I learned at the parties right. The beats were different from the hip hop music I regularly danced to. They were smooth tempos, but faster than reggae and bodies rocked with more control. My roommate complained about the hours I spent dancing in front of the mirror. We were not flat mates the next the year.

Beginning my elementary school career, I attended Indianapolis Public Schools. When I entered school, Kindergarten was only half days, and we were working on materials such as, learning our alphabet and counting to 100. The workload was a far cry from the addition, subtraction, early reading skills, and science that my daughter is learning in kindergarten this year. Following the first grade I left the Indianapolis Public School System and entered into a new school system. Embarking on second grade we started working on the skills that would help us read proficiently. I was absolutely struggling, but I was also so distrustful that I didn’t dare to say anything to my teacher. Thankfully, even without me saying anything to her, my teacher noticed

Growing up in Catholic schools all my life I have always been told, “God created this earth now it’s our job to save it and keep it as beautiful as possible”, yet my High School did nothing to keep it beautiful like we were always told. We did not recycle the hundreds of water bottles kids drank at lunch, papers we used everyday in class, old textbooks at the end of the year, the list can go on forever. Instead, all of those items have ended up in landfills, polluting the world. Everyone agreed something needed to be done about the problem, but nothing ever changed. My school, Boylan Catholic High School, even created a Go Green club that would hang up signs saying “Save the Environment” or “Don’t forget the 3 R’s: Reduce, Reuse, Recycle”.

My Christian liberal arts education is a major factor in establishing my current vocation. As a junior at Wheaton College, my current vocation is to be a student. I feel called to give my best effort at everything I do, and every assignment I work on. In reading C.S. Lewis’s essay on “Learning During War Time”, I was encouraged by his explanation of how the pursuit of knowledge, and my vocation of being a student, are worthwhile and valuable, no matter the circumstances surrounding us (Lewis, p.43-45). Going to a Christian liberal arts school definitely influences my current vocation. By learning about many subjects by taking a well-rounded course schedule of classes, I can learn to appreciate a variety of subjects and understand more about

In the fall of 2014, I embarked on the start of my ephemeral high school experience. Reminiscing back onto my first day of school, I can recall the exact moment as if it was yesterday. The adrenaline spewing out of my veins as if I had just consumed a large amount of caffeine, the anxiety boiling in my nerves not knowing who my teachers were or where my classes were. But most of all, I recall the coalescing of my fellow classmates’ personalities and the censure everyone had towards each other. It was in this moment that I had realized that Northwest Christian High School was not a banal Christian environment. In fact, Northwest Christian High School was the antithesis of a banal Christian environment.

I'm not sure if you remember me right off hand, but last semester I had you for my level twos. My placement was at Valley Lutheran was Mrs. Reinking. I also work at Family Video where I sometimes see you. I am filling out my teaching application for the Fall of 2018. I was wondering if I could put you down as a reference? Hope to hear from you soon.

I climbed in the front seat, and we drove to the Santa Maria high school to pick up Roberto. The only thing i could think about was how did they found us and whats going to happen to us?As we got closer to the high school my heart started beating faster and faster. The officer drove in the parking lot and parked the car in front of the school and told me to wait for him while he went inside the school. a few minutes later the officer returned with Roberto by his side.my heart brook into a million pieces when i saw Roberto face as white as a ghost and tears in his eyes. the officer politely told Roberto to get in the car.the whole way back to bonetti ranch was silent

Although I would not have considered myself a leader when I entered Arlington High School, I can safely say that the past four years have changed me into quite the opposite. As I gained confidence in my abilities to lead and make a difference throughout high school, I began to take more initiative of my impact on the community by running for leadership positions and tutoring.

What do you want to be when you grow up? Did you think I meant a profession? No, I meant what type of Christian you want to be when you grow up. To this day, a substantial amount of Christians question God’s powers. I have learned at Holy Family that God is almighty and can do anything. I just have faith in my Lord.

My years at St. Pius X/ St. Leo School have been very interesting. Going from searing that your first name had an “m” in it and being called the “backwards girl” because I literally wrote almost every letter backwards to Sal and Jack yelling very interesting remarks on the poles course. Even if I am pretty much done with Pius because I have been here for eleven years, I am going to miss the people and the memories.

Hi, My former AAU coach and mentor, who is a professor at Northwestern, recently told me about the possibility of taking a postgraduate year at a prep school. I am a graduating senior from Evanston Township high school in Illinois, who, as a junior was the starting point guard on a top 10 highschool in the state; and lead the team in scoring, assists, and steals. I went through a situation where I was Harassed by my former coach and bullied by my taammate over playing time. The coach was eventually fired.This not only was a tough year for me basketball wise but It affected me socially and I suffered acemically. I have turned my school work around this year getting all A's and B's and have been working hard on my basketball. I've been

I grew up Catholic therefore I grew up thinking that marriages were required to take place inside of a church, surrounded by hordes of family and looking into the eyes of a Catholic priest. However, when I was 17, my brother announced his engagement to his wife. Both of them are extremely outdoorsy people, so they made their own decision to get married on the top of a ski hill, garbed up in full ski gear ready to glide down the mountain après ceremony. They wanted to keep their numbers small and those who wanted to ski down the mountain after the ceremony were allowed to but didn’t have to. They had no plans to invite a priest or to fill out any papers signaling an official lawful wedding. They wanted to have the fun of the ceremony without

It’s my last week at Jefferson and I am ready to go to Riverton.I really just started thinking about what am I going to do.Let me explain Jefferson is a non private school, you have to wear uniforms, and is one of the schools on the list of most fights.Jefferson had cops and security officers, that patrol the school at all times.
