Zeal: Important To The Xaverian Community

Decent Essays
Zeal came from a Greek Origin which means “single-minded devotion” to. Zeal in a spiritual meaning means “devotion to God or another religious cause.” Zeal is important to the Xaverian community because the school tries to bring you to a spirituality stage where it gives you opportunities to get closer to God. The value of Zeal is very important to my life because my relationship with God matters to me and Zeal is a way of communication towards God. As a religious kid growing up I always lived up by “trusting God in whatever situation you are in.” In this school, you zeal becomes more important in your life because in all the activities they have. For example, you have SADD and EXACT where you have an opportunity to get closer and spend time

    The reason that I chose to attend Marywood had more to do with simple education. There were many things about the school that I found attractive, not least of which was its strong adherence to a set of values. I have always been a very driven person, especially when it comes to my goals and interests. While not every one of the core values applies to me and my goals, the ones that do align strongly with both the interests that I have, and the places that I see myself going later in life. The most important goal to me is excellence.…

It was created with the mission to provide emotional and academic support for the children who live in this neighborhood and attend one of Worcester’s lowest performing schools, Union Hill.

Behind her smile and warm embrace is a young girl who has not been given many opportunities to grow and reach her potential.

    The Nacirema people that developed in the geographic region between land occupied by the Canadian Cree and the Yaqui of Mexico is one of the most widely known and studied civilizations in the present. However, despite all the attention given to the Nacirema culture, especially within higher academic circles, several aspects of their ethos have remained elusive and enigmatic. Of particular interest are the mysterious rituals undertaken by the Nacirema which often reveal the inner workings of their society as a whole. One such ritual is the daily attendance of a building known as a myg. Prior to firsthand study of myg buildings and those who attended them, practically nothing was known of the importance or use of the myg.…

In reality, the casinos are mismanaged and it produces no revenue for the Spokane people. Linden Lark believed that if he reviewed enough about Indian law that he would not get caught for the rape of Geraldine Coutts and murder of Mayla Wolfskin. White people had pre-conceived notions of Indian tribes in general, but failed to realize the diverse groups that inhabit the Native American label.…

    Perhaps the single, most common answer to the question of the purpose of school is that it is to shape young minds in preparing them for the future. For some, school is where they go learn skills and techniques useful in the work world. For others, they are just forced to go to school, to be hassled with the burdens of overwhelming assignments, which deprive them of their ever so fulfilling social lives and other salient priorities. However, for the students in Crenshaw High School, school was a sanctuary, a safe haven; the only place where they felt accepted, worthy and optimistic. School was their only outlet where they could openly express themselves, especially in their English classes.…

    Education today, in my opinion, is not doing what it should be doing to ensure that America is actually living up to what it is known for...the land of opportunities. I believe that education should be about an empowering experience that helps students discover their passions, fosters their critical thinking skills, promotes an environment that accepts diversity, and encourages students to apply to skills to the outside world. This should be he purpose of American public schooling because it will help society adapt to changing times and encourage the growth of a well-rounded, modern, and accepting culture which in the long run help foster peace and equality. I am sure that there are many schools in America that try and foster all of things,…
