St. Anthony Assignment

Deep in the thick swamps and woods of Northern Gulf County, amidst the buzz and sting of mosquitoes, chirps of squirrels, and swirls of the Apalachicola, is a long-lost story. One hundred and eighty years ago the town of Iola sprang out of the cypress swamp of what is now north east Gulf County. That small community, was, and still is an enigma in the wilderness of territorial Florida and has all but faded from the memory of Gulf County and is nothing but a boat ramp now.

I am a dedicated, caring individual committed to improving the world around me. My dedication to achieving goals, be it academic or in extracurricular activities, has shown time and time again that I will not give up until I meet the goal, even in the face of adversity. I believe that commitment to goals is a valuable quality I could use to contribute to the community. I plan to join clubs that UCF offer students to work with and contribute to the UCF community. I believe working with my fellow peers to be an important and enriching aspect of college life. I am always willing to help someone in need or point them in the

A path that led to this school, and the amazing experiences and opportunities I had and will continue to have throughout my last year here. Here is the place I’ve learn to lead in a classroom, develop my academic skills, and succeed in continuing my mission of helping others. I’ve grown into a woman with her own ideals and own convictions, which I just now realized has always been my goal in life. What I major in, what job I have, and who I marry will not confine my person to live a life where having one experience is

Ever since my elementary years, I have taken my education and the work I do seriously. My dedication to the qualities of scholarship, character, leadership, and service have helped me during my high school experience as high school was a eye-opener for a young girl with big dreams. A quote that is to mind when I think about what dedication to scholarship and character means to me is one by St. Jerome; “Good, better, best. Never let it rest. 'Til your good is better and your better is best.” I have always gone past the point that is the best I can do in my academics accomplishments, building my character, being a leader, and helping others. I take pride in the fact that I work hard, push myself, and excel

The National Honor Society is a group of kids that excel; they work with the community to improve the community and their abilities simultaneously. I believe that I would be a fantastic addition to Lynden’s Nation Honor Society Chapter because I exemplify the four points of the National Honor Society scholarship, service, leadership, and character. One of my strongest points is scholarship. The reason that I show scholarship is because I am willing to work very hard at everything that I do. When I was a kid, I did terrible in school, my grades were bad and I was heavily tutored during and after classes.

Hello I am Samantha Kennelly, I go to St. John XXIII College Preparatory, for high school. Through out my high school career I discovered three important characteristic about myself: humility, creativity, and leadership. I discovered my humility in my acts of kindness towards others, whether it is raising money for a disabled child to have a semester free of therapeutic horse riding or teaching summer school students how to read, write, and do math. Creativity in my love and appreciation for the arts and being in an independent film along with being accepted into distinguished art for my last year of high school. Lastly, leadership because I took initiative and I went to my school administration and requested a math teacher when we had not

Growing up in poverty not only made me the person I am today, it made me want a better version of myself for my future self and family. This is a goal I know I could achieve through continuing my education to Florida State University. I believe I would benefit from the community at Florida State University because I would be surrounded by other students who want to improve their academic career and lives, as they willingly attend to pursue their chosen degrees. Also, I’ll be able to immerse myself in clubs and organizations that consist of people who share the same dream of a career in science and medicine. The community at Florida State University will benefit from me because not only do I work my hardest, I have the dedication, and confidence, to succeed in anything I set my mind to. Working hard at my job and school, allowed me gain experience with time management, discover my dedication to education, and discover my dream college: Florida State

My schooling and education are the most important things to me. But it hasn’t always been that way. I honestly didn’t start caring about my education or schooling until I came to Coloma. Don’t get me wrong Benton Harbor Area Schools aren’t bad it was just so hard for me to focus there and the work was way too easy. Making the switch to Coloma has been the best thing for my education. My first semester here was so hard. I was failing test and getting bad grades. I just didn’t understand. I then realized it’s not the school it was me I wasn’t trying hard enough. So I tried harder and now my grades are better than ever and I have big dreams about college and the life after that. Making that switch has taught me I’m much more than people and I expect me to be.

Over the course of the past few months, I believe that I have learned a lot about my values, career choices, and my possible future. Both The Values Survey and the Rokeach Assessment helped me to understand what category my most important values were in. After Completing the Values Survey, I can conclude that some of my most important work values are family, friendship, helping others, creativity, and knowledge and truth. I agree with those values being my top five values. They also relate to the career that I am hoping to pursue. I want to be a special needs teacher, which is a job that revolves around helping, and caring for others.

Saint Anthony the Abbot in the Wilderness explains that the cultural climate at this time in Italy was full of vivid colors, passion towards the era, and tells a story without using a single word. In the same way, this body of work is one of eight panels which is similar to different chapters in a book, displaying Saint Abbot life. This painting shows Saint Abbot as a hermit travelling through a desert in the Egyptian wilderness. The sky is dim so it appears to be getting dark. He passed by a Church, which looks to have a vibrant appeal, it seems the further he gets from the Church, the more isolated it becomes. The landscape is bare, there are naked trees and bland rocky hills. Saint Abbot was surrounded by small animals, they were often

St. Anthony was born in Lisbon in 1195 and was baptized "Ferdinand." His parents were of nobility. Some writers of the fifteenth century posited that his father was Martin Bouillon, a descendant of the famous Godfrey de Bouillon, commander of the First Crusade; and his mother, Theresa Tavejra, was a descendant of Froila I, fourth king of Asturia. However, this genealogy is unproven. Nevertheless, his parents were faithful and sought to hand their faith onto their son. He also was privileged to receive his early education at the cathedral school of Lisbon.

Here at St. Anthony’s, we believe that helping the poor and suffering is our duty, not a choice. The opportunities to help are endless. We have food drives during the festive season, diaper drives to help single mothers, and toy drives to supply homeless children with a Christmas gift. Everyone is expected to join in to help and we all gladly help anyway that we can. Another alternative to help others through school is Christian Service Hours. These entail completing five hours of service that benefit the community. We can volunteer at basically any place that, in some way, helps others in need of it. I am proud to say that I go to a school that demonstrates and practices the quality of a good people.

Saint Peter was born in Bethsaida Gaulanitis, Syria Roman Empire at around 1 AD. Peter’s feast day is on the twenty ninth of June. Bethsaida Gaulanitis was near where the Jordan River enters the Sea of Gennesaret. This place was abandoned at around 65 AD. Peter’s original name appointed to him by his parents was Simon, it became Peter when Jesus changed his name. His father’s name was Jonah. Jonah was a physically strong individual, hence he became a fisherman. Peter deeply followed in his father’s footsteps. His mother’s name was Perpetua. Not much is known about her. Peter also had a brother named, Andrew. Andrew was another one of Jesus’s twelve disciples. Peter did not go to school, he was just taught by his father in the trade of fishing

The life of Saint Anthony was vividly pictured in the narration of his life by no other person than St. Athanasius. In St. Athanasius’ description of St. Anthony, he explored all areas where St. Anthony was modeled as a saint. In light of this, the thesis for this essay states that classical genres to which St. Athanasius modelled the Life of St. Anthony is autobiography/biography, mythology and adventures.

St. Anthony of Padua is one of the Catholic Church’s most popular saints. Saint Anthony of Padua, patron saint of lost and stolen articles, was a powerful Franciscan preacher and teacher. He’s typically portrayed holding the child Jesus—or a lily—or a book—or all three—in his arms. Many people give alms to St. Anthony Bread in thanksgiving to God for blessings received through the prayers of St. Anthony.
