May Crowning

Every year a court is picked to crown Mary, the Mother of Jesus, and this year is no different. It is an honor to crown Mary because she is the one who leads us to Jesus and she let God work through her. We are always asked to pick a person to crown Mary and I believe that I deserve to be the one crowning Mary. I deserve to crown Mary because I am a very academic student, I like to help out, and I am very involved in school.

As a student, I strive to do my best in school. I have received High Honors for at least all of my years here at St. Patrick. When it comes to my academics, I do not take it as a joke. My academics can make or break me, but I choose for them to make me the best student I can be. Learning new material is something that I look forward to everyday because I know that every material can open up another door in my future. I show a positive effect when it comes to learning things. As an academic person, I joined the Decathlon team. It is a very studious, yet fun, experience. I studied as much as a I could and I knew that in the end all my studying would pay off.

As Catholics, we have to treat others just as Jesus did. I help out in school in any way possible. I have participated in church activities by reading, altar serving, ushering, and taking up the bread and body of Jesus. In school, I help out my classmates and teachers. When I see that a student is struggling on their work, I always go up to them and give them all of my assistance. If someone needs to finish their project that is almost due, I help them color or write because doing this is going to get them closer to finishing. I know that helping out a student will not hurt me, but I will benefit from it. When a teacher needs help cleaning up their classroom, I would rather stay inside knowing that they will be able to finish faster. If a teacher asks for assistance, I do not think twice about helping them. Helping the teacher clean up, pick up

    Education has always been one of the most important things to me, and I am dedicated to learn as much as humanly possible. Throughout my high school career I have challenged myself by completing six advanced placement classes and taking other honors classes. I have taken these classes as a way to help guide myself for what is to come in the future in college. I was inducted into the National Honors Society during my junior year of high school, and I graduated with honors. Both of these successes are the two greatest accomplishments of my high school career. These two achievements prove how dedicated I was, and still am, to getting the best education I could. My quality of dedication will stick with me throughout my future endeavors.…

    The value a person places on scholarship reflects not just how smart they are but also their attitude towards schoolwork and hard work in general. The archaic word “scholar” means a person who has an aptitude for study. This means not only to study hard but also to enjoy learning new things. Hard work is always going to come and a scholar will not only work hard but enjoy the work. I feel that I have shown this quality…

    I was always told I was smart by my family (my mother and grandmother in particular, as they were the main people that raised me) and therefore academics played an enormous part in my life, as it still does. I was always expected to make A/B honor roll (which I did) and I do not recall ever really feeling any stress from my academics during that time. I remember reading lots of…

    As a student, I try to achieve as many goals as possible. I have try to the best the student I could possibly be. I will admit this year wasn't the best for me. My grades weren't the greatest. But I don't grades should be the only thing that determines a high school student. I think who the person is on the inside what makes a high school student. I am a very kind person. I hate injustice done on anyone. I always stand up for what I believe in. I feel everyone should be given a fair chance in anything they do. I love being able to help anyone. I love knowing something I do can change someone's life. I use to do the Latin Club. I use to do the Earth Club. I use to do Build On. This year I have been more forced on the SATs and college. I want be a lawyer. Being able to someone is what love. The only thing I do outside of school is volunteer at the Norwalk Shelter. One challenge I faced in high school had to do with peer pressure. I was offered the chance to try weed. I knew that so many people at school did it, and I thought this was my chance to be popular. I didn't do it. I realized those people didn't want to be my friend. I realized that I didn't need to be popular. I am happy with my life just the way it is. I know who my friends are and it isn't those people. I realized I wanted to do it to become something I am not. I learned that day I should never lose my integrity. Someone once said, “Thoughts become words, words become actions, actions become character, character is everything." I didn't want to become that person I would have if I said yes. I wish I knew as a freshman to get involved more. When you are involved, it will help you in the long run, especially for college. Plus it is a great way to meet new people. In the lunch, I sit right across from the girl's restroom in the cafeteria. I sit with a cool and supportive group of friends. I love them like family. There you have it, I little bit about myself. I really want to do Link Crew because you get to…

    I have been taught to have respect for myself, for others, and for other people’s things. The no tolerance policy for bad behavior creates a caring and safe environment. When my Catholic beliefs are included in my everyday learning it helps me to become a better person and stronger in my faith. The students and staff make a choice everyday to be apart of the Catholic Education system. This special commitment means that students and teachers want to talk about God and his special presence in all that we do.…

    Academic self Concept

    In order to delve into my academic self-concept it is important to first grasp the meaning of self-concept. The class text book defines self-concept as one’s identity in their own mind. It is what a person thinks and feels about themselves and their thoughts. I have grown a lot academically throughout my collegiate career. I have experimented with different learning styles and test preparations to discover my best fit. In the beginning, I never thought that academics was to be taken too seriously. I knew my assignments had to be completed, but I strived to pass, not to excel and succeed. I did the minimum and nothing more. This worked for the first few months, but I quickly learned that doing the minimum was not going to get me anywhere and I needed to change something fast.…
