St Michael's Observation
I am interested in Saint Michael’s College because I know the competitive academic atmosphere, valuable alumni network, and vibrant area of Colchester, Vermont are right for me. The qualities I have observed at Saint Mike’s are some that I have been searching for throughout the college application process. I know that Saint Michael’s intimate campus would be a place that would promote great personal and academic growth within me. Visiting the campus this summer, I found Saint Michael’s to have a great community feel where everyone knew and supported each other. The students appear to be very driven individuals who have very bright futures ahead of them and I want this same opportunity for myself. My transition to Saint Mike’s would be almost

    St. Anthony Analysis

    “‘We're all going to keep working and getting better, because we have the formula right here”’ (Wojnarowski 180). This quote shows Bob Hurley’s simplistic formula for winning; work hard, win games. This connects to the Xaverian value of simplicity because as described by St. John's Prep, “Simplicity call us to be fully present in all we do… and embrace the infinite potential of every person...” St. Anthony players have to be “fully present” as they work hard in Bob Hurley’s practices and “embrace their full potential” as basketball players as well as people. By being fully present in basketball practice it causes the St. Anthony team to be “fully present in all they all they do” which is one of core ideas of the Xaverian value of simplicity.…

    St. Lucy's Analysis

    When the Native Americans and the girls from “St. Lucy’s” adapted to the European way of life, they both gained the ability to speak and read English. When the girls first came to “St. Lucy’s” they only knew how to speak in their native tongue, but with time, learned how to fluently speak and read English. One example of this is when the girls are at the ball with the “brothers” they were speaking in English to them. The Indians also gained this ability by getting educated by people from the English culture. Elected in office during this time Grover Cleveland, who was president in 1887, put the Dawes Act in action which converted them to Christianity, teached them to speak English, and let them live self-sufficient and independent. The girls…

    Symmetry can be found in many places or anyone in life. Symmetry makes a place or painting balanced. In the reading, I choose to analyze figure 6 which is St. Michael Weighing Souls. In the painting, you can tell it has a lot of symmetry present. When a painting isn't balanced well enough you can feel a sense of unbalancedness or one side being too heavy. Either by have too much on the other side or not enough. But in figure six you don't feel that heaviness anywhere because it is well balanced. For example in the painting of St. Michael Weighing Souls there are two things that make the painting balanced. In the painting, the person is holding a scale below and needed something above to make it balance and being symmetric he is holding a sword…

    Being admitted to the University of California, Berkeley was a shock to my family. Nevertheless, everyone was full of joy and support. My mother and father offered immediate advice for my well-being. Yet, I was full of uncertainty. Attending UC Berkeley was not within my plans. Being family oriented, I could not imagine leaving home. I could not picture myself 200 miles away from my family. Living in a city where the school campus itself is bigger than my town was inconceivable. However, becoming aware of the theme program Casa Magdalena Mora allowed me to consider UC Berkeley.…

    Everyone is aware of the name Wake Forest University carries. Obviously, I too want to be part of the Demon Decan Community. Wake Forest embodies the community spirit that encourages intellectualism and promotes civic engagement. The biggest reason for transferring to Wake Forest University is the philosophy of educating the whole person. As an Aga Khan Foundation Youth Ambassador, I was heavily involved with sustainable projects that had a purpose of solving challenges the ambassadors identified in the Dallas Fort Worth metroplex. Neither of our projects were one day projects, or charitable in any sense. Because the Aga Khan Foundation focuses on sustainable development, the ambassadors make sure to model the work and “Think globally, act locally.” Rooted deep into Wake Forest’s community is the…

    College was another story. It was difficult to transition to a new place where no one knew him or what had happened. Mike spoke of his freshman year at SMU saying, “I was just the scrawny kid in the wheelchair.” SMU was his school of choice because it was one of the two schools in Texas that were handicap accessible and because one of his friends offered to live and care with him. While at SMU, he made many friends even joined a fraternity, but he did not feel a sense of community there. He decided to transfer to Baylor during his sophomore year.…

    The figure of Christopher on display at the Middle Ages and Renaissance wing of the Rijksmuseum is an oak sculpture depicting the eponymous saint. Dated circa 1520 AD, the sculpture portrays Saint Christopher as a bearded man wading through a river with his right leg placed in front of his left. With both hands, he holds on to a staff crafted from a tree trunk. From this, Saint Christopher bends the right side of his upper body to lean slightly forward. He also looks up to the child on his back, who speaks to him with his right hand raised and his left hand holding on to a lock of Saint Christopher’s hair.…

    Just as the AP course positively impacted me, with the assistance of the Woodford R. Porter Scholarship, I know I can have the same impact on the University of Louisville community. At the University of Louisville, I hope to earn my degree in chemical engineering. I do understand that this degree requires a lot of knowledge about mathematics. Because I was able to overcome difficult academic situations in high schools, I know I am better prepared to deal with these challenges in college. Furthermore, my experiences of struggling in my AP courses have helped me become more sympathetic to my peers. If I see one of my peers struggling, I will provide assistance to them because I know how hard it is to ask for help. By working with my peers, we can ultimately develop a friendship inside and outside the classroom. By developing these relationships, we can learn from one another. While I cannot change my peers’ perspectives about certain issues, I can introduce them to a new perspective, my perspective. By introducing my peers to my perspective, I have helped them become more self-aware as they can do the same for me. In essence, by attending the University of Louisville, I know I can uphold the University’s mission by improving my peers’ lives by sharing my own lived experiences in classrooms. By sharing my narrative and experiences, I know I will create a more diverse…

    Beaufort, South Carolina may be a very passive town, but it’s exactly where I should be when pursuing my Master’s. USC accepted me because during high school, I received remarkable grades while being in honors classes, and while having many different extra-curricular activities. I’m more focused here because throughout middle school and high school, I learned to flourish in such an environment. Beside that point, I’ve already started forming relationships with students and staff in the schools on the Laurel Bay military base. I would love to intern and possibly research in schools where I’m currently working. I would love to replicate research experiments previously done on Camp Pendleton and see how they may differ from a base in a much smaller town. Being in Beaufort will bring new perspectives to the table, as well as new research material. In the next five years, I would have already attained my MSW and would have moved to Jacksonville, NC. I want Jacksonville to be my permanent residence because it fulfills my professional demands, as well as my social desires. It is not too far from my parents, it's near a military base, and it is also only four hours away from the largest city in North Carolina, Charlotte. I would have…

    At a young age, I was plucked from my birthplace of Fairbanks and moved down to Southeast Alaska with my mother. My formative years took place in Haines where I also graduated high school as an honor student. I then moved to Juneau in 2014 where I attended two years of college at the University of Alaska Southeast. It is my plan now to return to my roots in Fairbanks to continue my education. By returning, I will not only be provided a change of scenery, I will be reconnected with a handful of family members and nostalgically familiar surroundings. I believe Fairbanks has the opportunities I'm looking for to better myself and my future, so without hesitation, I am in…
