They also have a good basketball team and i would like to play basketball. I want to major in geology because its one subject that i'm good at and i never lost interest doing it. Another to why i want to go to St.Francis is because of the location it's very close to home and i could always take a train there with no problem. I'm a C student so far and i'm trying to work on getting it to a A i've been struggling because my I put all my effort into developing my basketball skills rather than put it into my school work.It was tough for me last year because i didnt understand the work so that lead to me failing test and getting 0s for missing class work. The First marking period my average was way below what I usually would get.

He received a education and seemed to follow his father's footsteps as a wealthy merchant. In 1201 he took part in an attack on Perugia, was taken hostage, and remained a captive there for a year. After his release, Francis joined the army but couldn't complete his time because he got sick. This period of time would change his life forever. During his sickness, Francis would spend hours meditating on the Lord in an old church, and he felt God drawing near to him.

    St. Francis de Sales was conceived on August 21, 1567, near Geneva, Switzerland. From an early age, he knew he was intended to be a priest. He kept this fact from his family, though, because his father wanted him to seek after a profession in law and politics. Francis attended the University of Paris in 1580, and later went ahead to receive his doctorate in law at the University of Padua. Amid this time, he never lost his passion for God. He studied theology and practiced mental prayers. Francis additionally partook in fencing and horse-back riding to satisfy his father. One day while he was riding, God sent him a message. Francis tumbled off his horse three times, and each time the sword flew out of the scabbard, causing both items

It was to catch up on the numerous assignments I had missed yet it seemed like every

Originally, this pressure was put on by my parents, but now I am self-driven and I do not allow myself to have anything lower than an “A-”.
