How Does Goal Five Affect Minseo's Life
"Everyone should live by this goal," my senior, Minseo said during my interview with her. If you had to live by a Sacred Heart goal, which one would it be? All of the Sacred Heart speak to me in some way because they are inspirational and encourage students to respect others and build community. For this assignment, we were asked to interview our seniors about their favorite Sacred Heart goal and how it affects their lives. Goal five appeals the Minseo the most. Goal five impacts Minseo's life in several different ways. Most importantly, we need to understand goal five's meaning to Minseo's. For one, goal five could relate to her personally. Throughout the four years she spent at Forest Ridge, she grew as a student. This is because she believes
that the school provided her with diverse programs, incorporated discussions in classes (which encouraged her to think logically), provided her with the opportunity to strengthen her relationship skills, and offered excellent courses such as the IB programs and the Global Seminar to help her grow intellectually. In addition, she incorporates this goal in her life. She said, "What they mean by "wise freedom" is that the teachers give you the freedom of choosing whether or not to do your homework or study for tests." Then, she told me that she is currently affected by this goal because she is constantly encouraging herself to choose the right decisions for school. Also, this goal helps her prepare for college. For instance, she develops the responsibility of finishing her work and taking care of herself. However, Minseo thinks that some parts of this goal are difficult to follow. For example, she is challenged by the first criteria under goal five, "All members of the school community show respect, acceptance and concern for themselves and for others." At school, she finds it hard to continue a discussion with some students who contradict her ideas. This is illustrated during our interview. Minseo said, "when you face a disapproving argument, it is hard for me to understand their ideas basically because I do not go through the same thinking process as that person." In general, goal five affects Minseo the most. Goal five pushes my senior to take care of her responsibilities and attempt to be more tolerant in tough situations. After the interview, I pondered about this goal's meaning to me and how it would motivate me in my life both socially and academically. For instance, I am up to the challenge of being more respectful and pushing myself to grow as a Forest Ridge student. I look forward to doing that by being more accountable and having more self-discipline so that I would succeed. To conclude, goal five encourages both my senior and me to grow as a accountable student who looks for the good in people.
