I am choosing Saint Andrew as my Confirmation Saint. I have selected Saint Andrew because he seems interesting because he is the first apostle and said yes to Jesus right from the beginning. He is the patron of fisherman. Fishing is something that I do a lot with my dad. We throw the poles in the car and pick up worms and scout out a spot to fish.…
I would be delighted to be a CHAT ambassador and represent our school to the Jewish community. What function do you see the Ambassador Program serving in our school?

As concerned parents of students, at Legacy Traditional School of Maricopa, this letter is to inform you that our tolerance for the disorganization and lack of discipline that has occurred in Legacy Maricopa is officially depleted. While Legacy School continues to grow, leadership at the Maricopa Campus has failed over the last few years to make good on the promise stated in the school Philosophy and mission statement "Legacy Traditional School mission is to provide motivated students with the opportunity to achieve academic excellence in an accelerated, back-to-basics, safe learning environment taught by caring, knowledgeable and highly effective educators in cooperation with supportive, involved parents." This statement is the reason…
Rutgers University possesses the ability to both educate me academically and culturally to the world around. Growing up as a latino first generation child has made me feel like I am part of two worlds . I am very proud of my ethnicity and my culture. I am very grateful for my parents because they have overcome many obstacles for me and my sister . Their difficulties due to their lack of college education have showed me the importance of a college background .…
I take night classes because I work during the day, and after a long day at Glendale Community College all I want to do is jump into my bed and fall asleep as quickly as possible, but my annoying little sister whom I share my room with snores like there’s no tomorrow. We’ve all heard college students never get sufficient sleep, and I being a full time college student need that sleep.…
Salutations. I’m Lily Cushing. Going to a Catholic School has been a great experience for me. Throughout my nine years at Mary Queen, I have made many friendships, learned many things, and grown in faith. I am very grateful to be able to go to a Catholic grade school and go to a Catholic high school next year.…
My passion to be a teacher in the Catholic school system has started a long time ago when I decided the teaching profession was for me. I was just coming out of my Catholic high school and I had made a decision to take a Bachelor of Health Science Degree, in physical education and biology with the end goal to become a high school teacher. It was during this time when I noticed myself asking for help a lot and depending on God’s plan to determine my success. " Ask, and it will be given to you; seek, and you will find; knock, and it will be opened to you.…
After my visit to Emanuel Temple, I learned two things: Christianity and Judaism are very similar, but also are very different. Emmanuel Temple. Which is in Oak Park. This structure was built for its inhabitants to practice the belief of Judaism. The interior of the temple is pretty typical.…
Attending a catholic school for nine years has taught me alot. I honestly feel that catholic school makes me want to become a challenging person because the teachers push you to do good and if you are not doing very good they push you to do better. I love that all of the staff in the catholic school encourages us and makes us feel like we are important and that we will succeed. Kids from public schools may think that catholic schools are so strict, or they just dislike catholic schools but honestly, in my opinion, catholic schools are great schools. Most of the teachers in St. Margaret Catholic School made me realize that school is very important because without an education then I will be lost in this world, I will not succeed.…

From the point of professionally speaking to being able to present something accurately and well.…
For our Theology project our group chose to do the two Jesuit schools know as Xavier College, located in Australia, and Xavier High School, located in New York. We explained each school in great detail with the dual purpose of Jesuit education. We not only explained the dual purpose of Jesuit education but also explained how each school relates to it by their mission and compassion. We then closed it off by explaining their approach to the second purpose of Jesuit education and act school compared to Prep. …
One of the reasons I would be honored to be a student ambassador is because I want to introduce and familiarize other prospective students with the school that I love so much, that has opened so many doors of opportunities, introduced me to so many amazing people, and has given me a top notch education. I want to encourage students who are perhaps unsure if WSU is right for them, or if college in general is right for them, that WSU and all that it has to offer makes it the place for anyone, from all backgrounds, all experiences, and all areas of interests. This is because WSU also offers majors, clubs and organizations, and communities in which anyone can find a sense of belonging and acceptance. Aside from the school itself, WSU is home to…
Visiting a new church is exciting yet nerve wrecking. I love my home church and I have become comfortable attending every service at my church. However, now walking into a new church I began to get nervous. Every church is different and I was not sure what to expect. I attend a small English Christian church and decided to visit a bilingual Apostolic/Pentecostal Non-Denominational Church.…
I am Catholic, I was raised by the Catholic faith, baptized, went through Catechism and had confirmation. But, I do have my own personal beliefs. Although there are doctrines of the Catholic church; I do not completely agree with a few of them. My personal faith is to just try the best you can in life and yes live by the word of God, but if I mess up along the way then it 's ok I 'm only human. God does forgive but only if your really mean it and ask for forgiveness.…
