St. John Baptist de Lasalle
My life is not that different with St. John Baptist De LaSalle's life. Like him I was born with a family that is noble and in the upper-class of the society. Since my family is righteous, I have received an excellent development in my life from them. Like De LaSalle who was born with an aristocratic family and had an early training with priesthood life. My inspiration and sources of joy is of course from God and my Family because not for them I may not be studying in this school. I have many ambitions in life not likely same as De LaSalle's ambition but still helping others is my priority. De LaSalle is the eldest son so his family is expecting more from him, unlike me I am in the middle of four brothers and sisters but still my parents is expecting much from me. I am a very approachable person maybe like De LaSalle since he has many friends. Maybe like De LaSalle I am very friendly and approachable. The society where I am now is a lot different compared to the society where De LaSalle lived. The society now is more civilized and educated unlike in De LaSalle's time but still that did not stop him from helping poor children to study.

I Feel De LaSalle would want us to continue what he started like what is happening now, giving good education to children, especially to poor children. For the students studying in all De LaSalle schools St. John Baptist De LaSalle would want us to study hard and put God in our hearts always.

The next time I see the Façade of De LaSalle University I will surely remember the hardship that came to De LaSalle's life before achieving his position now and I will surely be encouraged to study hard and follow his

    St John the Divine

    The Cathedral of Saint John the Divine is simply breathtaking. From the exterior to the interior of the cathedral, you can find plentiful amounts of highly sophisticated bodies of work. Before laying a foot inside, the massive bronze doors containing forty-eight relief panels depicting scenes from the Old and New Testament catches the eyes of many. Also, many note the exquisite statues and carvings of saints and Jesus all along the Western Front of the Cathedral. Once inside, the enormous pilier-cantonnés stand along the nave aisle, where it erects up into the ceiling. Eventually, the columns meet with one another at four angles, creating a quadripartite vault in the nave ceiling. The stained glass windows that lines the entire cathedral strikes your retina at all different angles as you rotate your body. A little beyond the crossing, the high altar contains a magnificent cross, as well as an iron tomb of the man who founded the cathedral. If you focus the eyes just behind the choir, you will glare at seven stunning radial chapels—each one representing an apostle, a patron, or immigrant. But out of all the marvelous artwork within and outside the chapel, there was one particular window that caught my attention.…

    Samuel Mazzuchelli Character Traits

    Fr. Samuel Mazzuchelli was an incredible man, filled with faith and love. The similarities between us are what happened to us, not necessarily character. We both have embarked on a new adventure across the atlantic with no knowledge of the language. Just like Fr. Mazzucchelli I always try to leave everything to God no matter what happens good or bad. I think that Fr. Mazzuchelli probably had a much deeper faith that God would provide what’s best for him, but I can strive to get better at placing my trust in God.…

    Analysis Of The Achievement Of Desire By Richard Rodriguez

    Analysis Of The Achievement Of Desire By Richard Rodriguez

    In The Achievement of Desire, Richard Rodriguez talks about his experiences from when he was a young boy until he becomes an adult who have realized his life goals. As a boy, Rodriguez describes himself as a “good student” and a “troubled son” (Rodriguez 565) at the same time. In his essay, Rodriguez tells his readers how education can alienate students from their parents, culture, class, as well as from their past. The essay also reflects the situation that many accomplished scholars and professionals experience—how education has inevitably changed their minds, relationships, and lives in general. The essay concludes in irony, wherein Rodriguez realizes that education, which is the very thing that distanced him from his past, was also the very thing that made him aware of how lonely he had become. In this paper, I demonstrate how Rodriguez’s story is universal by citing instances from my own life experiences.…

St. Peter’s covers an area of 5.7 acres can hold up to 60,000 people. One of the holiest sites of Christianity, it is the burial site of basilica namesake Saint Peter.

    Richard Rodriguez

    Growing up, people realize that around the time of reaching a mature state, education has affected their personal family life in one way or the other. With that being said, in his essay, “The Achievement of Desire”, Richard Rodriguez headed towards a path where he was unconsciously distancing himself from his family and becoming much more independent than he had expected. Rodriguez gives the reader a sentimental idea of the two contrary lives he had growing up, the life he had as a child, and the life he has as an educated man. He continued believing in his aspiration of how benefits of education can remarkably outweigh the past struggles of both his family and himself. Like Rodriguez, I also, in the past, found some form of solitude in my family life, and was able to partially see myself in his story of desirable triumph.…

    jane eyre st.john

    St. John’s life changing decision to become a missionary exemplifies his disregard for his own happiness. “’I thought I had made a mistake entering the ministry… I burned for the more active life of the world- for the more exciting toils of a literary career- for the destiny of an artist, author, orator, anything rather than that of a priest… God had an errand for me”(392). St. John does admit that a life outside of the priest hood would make him happy but he has an unbearable drive to go out and prove himself against difficult challenges. He’s become “hard and cold… as an iceberg” because he “locks every feeling and pang within” (402) as to not disrupt his holy path. Despite this, St. John does have an opportunity for happiness. He is in love with Ms. Rosamond Oliver and is aware that her feelings are mutual. “While I love Rosamond Oliver so wildly- with all the intensity, indeed, of a first passion… I experience at the same time… she would not make a good wife…”(405). St. John shakes himself of the notion of pursuing a life with Rosamond simply because she doesn’t have what it takes to be a missionary’s wife: “Rosamond a sufferer, laborer, a female apostle? … No!” (405). St. John also has the option to relinquish the idea of being a missionary so that he can pursue her but he earnestly believes…
