The first time I heard about Bishop Carroll was early September. I heard that it is not like the other schools where students learn in a class, people told me that the student gets to learn by themselves. I remember thinking to myself “what kind of school allows students to learn by themselves? Wouldn’t that be difficult?”. Now that I’ve talked to my counselor and been to the open house, I am more informed and educated about what Bishop Carroll is really about. It’s about learning how to become independent and being in the driver's seat of my own learning, but of course with the help of a teacher. I think that Bishop Carroll is for me because I am the independent type of learner. I like working in pairs but I feel like I work better individually because I can focus more on the topic given to me. …show more content…
I play sports outside of school and if I do get the chance of going to Bishop Carroll, it’s going to make my life a little bit easier because of the amount of flexibility given to the students. Another reason why I want to go to Bishop Carroll is because it gives me the chance to focus more on the subjects and topics that I need to work on. My favorite subject is science, I love doing anything that involves with science. On the other hand, math is something that I feel like I need to work on more. Bishop Carroll would help me improve more on my math skills but at the same time, still give me the opportunity to work on the subjects I like most. The latest big unit project I worked on by myself was my Science Biological Diversity Project. I think that it required a lot of materials since it was a unit project. I feel like I did great on the project since I did it by myself. When I’m working on schoolwork, I like to work on the subject/topics that I struggle with and work on the rest afterward. My favorite sports are basketball and
As the sun rises high into the midday summer sky, Bruce Carroll begins to pack his bag for the 6 months out in the wilderness. He has decided to make the 6-month trek along the Appalachian Trail. This choice has been hard on Bruce because he cannot bear staying away from his family. His daughter Lillian, is a blonde four year old who always has her pink blanket. The mother of Lillian is a dark-haired beauty. Everyday Bruce wakes up, he compares her to a super model.
Mario Andretti once said, “Desire is the key to motivation, but it's determination and commitment to an unrelenting pursuit of your goal - a commitment to excellence - that will enable you to attain the success you seek.” Andretti’s words are as true today as when he spoke them. Everyday should be a continuous journey to get to your goal. Starting off with the right step is a major component. Therefore, I chose to apply to Stanly Early College High. I believe that I have the ability to work up to Stanly Early College standards. Determination, dedication, and desire are all qualities that I have.
It was the best of times, it was the worst of times. It was the time I ripped my pants in the 2nd grade.
This past week, I had the honor of being invited by one of my seminary scholarship donors. This donor was a woman, probably in her eighties, who said that should I visit her at her place, a retirement lodging, in Lake Forest. I was given a ride to the place by the Director of Stewardship who works at my seminary, called Garrett-Evangelical Theological Seminary. To my surprise, not only this senior woman was a professional artist, her art was exhibited at the same retirement place where she lived at. She took the time to narrate each story about her paintings, with specific mention of month, year and the event related to the paintings. One of her paintings showed her father hiking up a mountain. This painting was entitled “Guide Me Up High Rock
After all of my research, and an interview with my future teammate, that these are all great things that will prepare me to be a college athlete. There is more to being a collegiate athlete other than just playing the sport and going to class. I think that it is what most people do not realize. Character and integrity are some of the main aspects that are a part of playing sports in college. In my time at Grace Bible College, all of my teammates have accepted me, and have made me feel welcome. They trust me and have taken me on their team as a newcomer. My visit there made me fall in love with the campus, and as soon as I stepped into the gym, I knew that this is where I
St. Philip’s Episcopal Church has not only been a source of faith, but an area that has given me the most satisfaction in my life. Becoming a Sunday School instructor, attending the “Safe Kids, Safe Church” Conference, and volunteering at events such as Souper Bowl Sunday and BLAST Biblical Learning Camp have all brought me immense happiness. It is with great pride that I am able to donate my time in an arena that has made such a significant contribution to my character.
As I think back, I went to Christa Mcauliffe Elementary school; our school symbol were the explorers. The principal of Mcauliffe elementary was Mr. Daniel Pokett, and my sixth grade teacher was Miss Stone. In sixth grade I was really scared of Junior High because of three things: Lockers, Homework that was too hard, and teachers that didn’t explain how to do the homework. I have a lot of friends at my church and they all said that junior high was simple, but my teachers said otherwise. I chose to believe my teachers and I turned into an annoying perfectionist, but when I met first 8th grade teacher, Mr. Roland, I told myself to be me again. I had heard from many people that Tevis Junior High was the best school in the district and now that
As I sat this morning reading this article, I thought of the many times, I, Personally have battled this "abyss". I know what it's like because I have been there. I don't and I may not fully understand or comprehend to understand what you have gone through in your life Halie, yet, I really want you to know that I am here for you, and that I love you no matter what. There is a personal story that I share and have shared many times in my course of missionary service. It's a story about a man. It goes something like this;
It all started when I was in eighth grade. My decision was Cardinal Hayes. Cardinal Hayes was the school my brother was attending and my brother had told me so much interesting things about Cardinal Hayes. My brother told me about their trophy room and how successful the school was. He also told me how much fun they had there. My friend was telling me about Fordham Prep, but I had payed him no mind. If my friend wasn’t there I would not currently be in Fordham Prep. After I stopped being stubborn and started to listening to my friend about my friend about Fordham Prep I noticed that it wasn’t bad, but actually good.
The turmoil of life brought me down many hard paths from which I never fully recovered, until I met Jesus Christ. I could see that I was ending up in the wrong place, and I did not know how to get out of it. I had not been faithful to what was in my heart. I knew I was missing something. I knew I was missing Christ.
Growing up in the Caribbean Island known as Saint Martin. The lifestyle is completely different compared to living in the United States. You could imagine that you’re living in paradise. I came to the USA because my mother and I weren’t on good terms at the time. St Martin is less violent, less racism and the education is more evolved on certain level meaning schools hours are longer than in America and children starts school at the age of 2, and also racism isn’t issued example: Blacks, Caucasians, Asians would get along perfectly; the distances was shorter I used to walk to the store or to go the beaches or meet up friends, transportation is totally different and bit more organize and less confusing. To have been able to grow up in an amazing
The time I accomplished something would have to be ever since I got a job myself, when I told my mom about the job she didn’t like the idea she wanted me to focus on school and helping her out at the house and taking care of my sisters. She wanted me to not worry and just worry about school but I see a lot of people my age working and getting money they earned by working and I got interested myself and for me it didn’t matter where I worked as long as I did.
Mitty is one of those words I hear repeatedly on a regular day basis. Going to a Catholic school my whole life, I have been pushed towards private high schools. Above the other school options, Mitty is by far my first choice. Mitty has always been known to me as big in sports. Although there are sports that I would like to pursue in high school such as field hockey, after visiting the school for 7th grade day, shadowing, and open house, I discovered that Mitty has so much more to offer that I want to make part of my future. While shadowing Mitty, I was able to partake in a speech class. I have always heard the term speech and debate, but I never knew exactly what speech was. Participating in a class focusing on public speaking was remarkably
Throughout my education I have watched my peers force themselves to school, never having the desire to learn or wanting to be apart of the joys of education. I am proud to say that I have received the desire of learning. Learning isn’t something that is forced or pushed upon me. I have been able to learn because that's what I’ve wanted. As a student, I am proud of my achievements. I spread myself thin with work, school, and sports but I enjoy having much on my plate I like the challenge of learning in that I can learn about anything I wish. Throughout my education I have succeeded, I have been in numerous AP and honors classes through my academic career and I have also obtained academic awards with my time in school. I believe Mount Saint Joseph is going to suit me best for what I’d like to do with my future. I plan to persevere and dedicate myself to my work, MSJ has the best staff I can find that will help with this rigorous task.
For as long as I can remember, I have gone to church. My entire life I have known this concept of Jesus and who he was. And for some reason, that was supposed to be important to me. As a kid, I could tell you the majority of the Bible stories, after all, I heard them all the time. Even at a young age, though, I could tell there was more to the whole Jesus thing. It seemed that some people understood on a deeper level what all this church stuff was actually about. As I began to learn more about this Jesus, I began to question why he was important to me and what he had to do with the life change in the people around me.
