House of Gonzaga

Over the course of this semester, I have spent an ample amount of time serving as a mentor with Gonzaga’s Center for Community Engagement Youth Program, Campus Kids.

Every Thursday afternoon at 3:10 PM, each of the Campus Kids mentors in our group meet up in the Center for Community Engagement in the basement of the Hemmingson Center. We

Washington D.C., I attended Gonzaga College High School, an all-boys Catholic high school that had a major impact on the things I value and the beliefs I hold. I entered high school with unbounded optimism: I had worked hard to get in and I was determined to make the most of my four years. Back then, “making the most” of high school was centered around who I was from a social standpoint. My only previous perception of high school had been the dramatized blur of wild house parties that I had seen on

Animals are a staple of childhood-- we are surrounded by them from birth into adulthood; hence, the overwhelming mountain of stuffed animals and picture books sifted through at our transition into maturity.

Peylo and Elisenda, either. As a matter of fact, the wise neighbor wanted Peylo and Elisenda to club him to death. The author, Gabriel Garcia Marquez, write with the attitude that it would be perfectly normal to be walking back towards one's house after getting rid of some crabs and seeing an angel. He did offer some explanation to the sudden appearance of the angel. The explanation was that the angel was coming to get the baby but the hard rains knocked him down into the mud. The problem
