Blanchet Unique

Decent Essays
Bishop Blanchet is unique, and I consider myself privileged to be part of this community. In my short time at Blanchet I have not only been welcomed by an open-minded, anti-bullying community, but my eyes have been opened to much of the world. As a developing citizen, my ideas, aspirations, and tenets have all started to shape into who I will one day become. If I am already realizing this process of growth and seeing changes in my life, I am confident that Blanchet will graduate me with a grand understanding of myself and the world I live in.

    In A Streetcar Named Desire by Tennessee Williams, it is apparent that external flaws result from unresolved internal issues. This is especially apparent in the character, Blanche DuBois and can be observed further in scene six when Blanche tells Mitch, the man she has been seeing lately, about her late husband, Allan Grey, who committed suicide and the about last tune she heard while her husband was still alive, the Varsouviana, which haunts her. This tragic event resulted in Blanche’s lewdness, promiscuity, and excessive drinking of alcohol. It was at this moment in Blanche’s life when she lost her sanity and grip on reality, and when she also loses any lucidity she might have previously had before telling Mitch about her husband, Allen’s death.…

    Upon my arrival at Commonwealth Honors Academy a mere twelve days ago I was ignorant to the fact that I was going to learn so much in my time spent here, but now I look back and realize that I have gained so much knowledge and I have acquired more details to add to what I knew before arrival. Overall I have learned that most things in life require constant attention and effort to make them truly work and that anyone you come in contact with and create an influence with will then, in turn, make a larger circle of influence that can quickly become bigger than you can ever be. The universal themes that have had the largest impact on me are the themes of Happiness, Friendship, and Sovereignty of Education. It was Aristotle who defined happiness…

    Napavine Jr. Sr. High School, just like every other educational institution, has multiple stakeholders with whom we must deal. The challenges we face are the close proximity of our small school to the majority of community members and parents, and the intimacy and long-term shared experiences between staff, parents and students. While this creates a large familial bond, like any family, issues arise when people on all sides find themselves in a situation that requires a decision that might negatively affect the perceived familial relationship. At Napavine, we have teachers, parents, community members and students who have been in the community for all of their lives; and, we have those same stakeholders who have not. Division between stakeholder…

    “The streets are paved in sunshine.” This was the first statement I heard upon arriving at Stanford University. The woman who said those six words that caught me completely off guard approached me with a California-aged smile, casual and relaxed, and welcomed me with open arms. She introduced herself as an alumni of the university and proceeded to tell me about the great experiences she had as a student and the memories she created with her best friends in her “prime time”. As she rambled on, I realized that she said nothing about the stellar academics, the esteemed professors, or the endless professional opportunities offered at the University.…

    Ten year old, Lafayette Rivers exclaims enthusiastically in Alex Kotlowitz’ 1992 biography There Are No Children Here, “If I grow up, I’d like to be a bus driver”. Sophomore year, in Honors English, we were reading out loud in class when this aspiration of a lower-income, innocent child, was lethargically muttered by a classmate, and to my dismay, I began to cry. I was saddened by the fact Naperville was less than 60 miles away from Chicago, yet my peers knew so little of what too many city children, like Lafayette who lived in Cabrini Green, had to endure. What broke my spirit, was that my peers were only sympathizing for that class period and would go on with their daily lives, giving no second thought to children who are less fortunate, who have to give so much just to help their families survive, and who are not even sure they will have the opportunity to grow up.…
