Joliet Catholic Academy

The Cathedral of St. Raymond Nonnatus Almost every Sunday during my youth was spent at church with the family. On many occasions, we were simply up the road at the local Catholic Church but the most memorable moments that I can recall are the ones spent with family at the Cathedral of St. Raymond Nonnatus. I had always wondered why it looked the way it did until my continuing education later in life. This a very structurally beautiful building and it acts the part of worship and school all together. I can never forget the smell of the incense burned by the deacons and priest prior to the ceremony. When we are children, I think we remember things more vividly and have more distinct pictures painted in out memory lobe of either haunting or…

family and I thought it through exhaustively, or so I thought. I visited several different campuses in a few different states. I had studied the extent of many different majors, I considered many backup options, and I questioned what I thought I would enjoy, love or hate. In May of 2013 I felt like I knew all the answers – that being Massachusetts Maritime Academy. I would enjoy life at sea, I could make a matchless salary, and all while visiting different ports around the world. I got the…

The Bucksbaum Early Entrance Academy is a program that accelerates high school students past their junior or senior year directly to college. What this really means is that the members of this culture are a bunch of children who really wanted to get out of high school. We all were a part of the gifted programs in our schools, and we all decided we were too smart for that. Apparently the University agreed, so we can all be considered at least academically ready for college. At some level, we…

I am only mentioning this to make sure that there is no confusion in that part of the report. This week, was the week of the citizen’s…

I am seeking a nomination to the United States Air Force Academy because I believe it is the best way for me to reach my goal of becoming a leader in our nation’s armed forces. The Academy is a place where I know I will always put my best foot forward. I felt a strong pull towards the academy when I started looking at colleges in 10th grade but attending the summer seminar sealed it in my heart and mind that this is the place where I want to be this fall. I know that, by having the opportunity…

The call to meditation and self-reflection in spiritual practices often becomes convoluted, evident in a radical interior withdrawal into selfish privacy, while with exteriority, it leads to an uncompromising dependence on the empirical reality. In the academic world, radical interiority often develops when scholars withdraw from the world without intention of returning. A sense of intellectual and spiritual ego arises from this withdrawal, creating an interesting dichotomy between Gottlieb’s…
