Marist Brothers

these things has been because of my involvement on Marist Brother’s Model United Nations (MUN) program. Through this program I have learned so much about the problems that challenge the world daily in every country, how countries cooperate and work together to mitigate these issues, and how to lead others. Being a committee chair has challenged me to get outside of my comfort zone and become a good leader. This entails many things, such as being able to organize and communicate effectively. As time goes by and as I reflect, I realize that all this time God has been gently guiding me, teaching me things and using my interests to prepare me for the work he would like me to do. He has used my desires to captivate my interest in amazing organizations, such as Samaritan’s Purse, that are making a positive impact on the world. I would like to work at a place like that in the future, but that is not my main point. God has empowering me, not only by my affections, but also by the experience I have had leading. God has been challenging me in the last few years to become a better leader and speaker, and has given me the confidence to take on projects that can help people. Looking back on it, I now see that over time God has been handing me pieces of a puzzle, slowly showing me how I can be used to advance his kingdom. This confidence in both God and myself helped me to bring “Operation Christmas Child” to my school in Japan, Marist Brothers International School. This wonderful…

Fairy tales’ economic length and straightforward lessons provide gender-related developmental paradigms with not only the pervasive patriarchal view as noted by Sandra Gilbert and Susan Gubar, but also the limited yet empowering vision of females. The female protagonist in All-Kinds-of-Fur in Brothers Grimm 's collection displays what at first appears to be a passive, objectified female personality, which a prominent narratologist Peter Brooks points out in his book Reading for the Plot;…

The Color Red: The Key to Woman’s Sexual Maturity The color red has always had some significant meaning, whether it is in real life, myths, legends, or even fairy tales. Two fairy tales which illustrate the symbolic meaning of the color red are two tales about Snow White; Brothers Grimm’s “Snow White” and Lasiar Gheug, “The King of Ireland’s Daughter.” In these fairy tales red resembles the opportunity for women to be rescued by a prince and possibly reach sexual maturity, but the shedding of…

In the original story, the protagonist makes the choice to exchange her voice for legs. She then proceeds to have her tongue removed out of her mouth –while brutal and graphic, this scene was very important as it was a) realistic to how someone could miraculously lose their voice, and b) showed the reader the mermaid’s desperation and willingness to do anything to become human. Disney offered none of that depth in their scene, their adaption and had the sea witch simply sing a song and work some…

December 17th, 1903, the Wright Brothers took flight in Kitty Hawk, North Carolina. The iconic event was the first fully documented successful powered flight by a heavier-than-air aircraft. The brothers catapulted to the front of aviation innovation; the names Orville and Wilbur Wright became known world-wide, and the brothers were celebrated as heroes in the United States. All of this praise couldn’t last forever, though, and soon Orville and Wilbur encountered issues with the patenting and…

Fairy Tales: Disney vs Grimm Brothers Everyone at some point has seen or heard of the Disney fairy tales such as the well-known Snow White, Sleeping Beauty, Cinderella, and so on and so forth. However, what you might not know is where these stories originated from. A majority of Disney’s stories are an adaption of the Grimm’s Fairy Tales which aren’t nearly as heartwarming as Disney portrays them as. However, how do the two stories compare and contrast to one another? The major similarities and…

Fairy tales tend to illustrate how a parent 's actions can affect their children’s life a great deal, either good or bad. This is shown in the stories “Beauty and the Beast”, “Hansel and Grethel”, “The Twelve Brothers”, “Little Red Cap”, “Rapunzel”, “Rumpelstiltskin”, “Cinderella”, “Snow White”, “Li Chi Slays The Serpent”, and “The Maiden Without Hands.” These fairy tales show that good treatment from the parent results in the child being superb and doing good deeds. However, parents abandoning,…
