Statement Of Purpose: Catholic Education

Greetings, I am currently a student at Florence Hallock, a public school on the north side of the city. I’d like to experience a Catholic education for the last three years of my secondary education, before I venture forward onto post-secondary. I’ve always been in public school however my curiosities arrived once a family friend raved on about Archbishop MacDonald. I was in grade seven at the time. Since then it has been on my radar as a primary high school that I’d like to attend to in the future. I’m quite ambitious and love to be academically challenged. After university I’d like to be an international political scientist. Politics has always fascinated me and how it affects every little thing we do in our day to day lives. I’m intrested
His work with the small arms survey where they aim to build a safer environment for future generation by creating surveys for people about how they feel about weapons. The surveys and information found from them match my personal beliefs about weapons and how the public should use them if even allowed to. I use the information they find to create my own opinion on the subject with correct fact that aren’t biased. How closely that organization works with the United Nations and the European Union inspires me to do the same one day, to create an organization that I know can produce useful unbiased information to educate the general public about harmful things that happen in our society. Archbishop MacDonald’s extracurricular clubs such as the High School Model United Nations, Speech and Debate, and the social justice club, also interest me since I recognize that I want to enter the political scientist field in my near future. I reckon these programs will help me excel in that field. To get a PH.D in political science I’ll have to take classes such as methodology, game theory and econometrics or atleast have at least take intermediate-level statistics, multivariate calculus, and Linear
Archbishop’s core subjects intrigue me. From what I’ve heard, and due to the entrance requirements, it truly will be stimulating. I would love to be challenged, and to look for new ways to solve problems. My current marks are in the 80’s. Social studies fascinates me. Without history we wouldn’t be as advanced in terms of our ideologies, cultures, and technology. As a part of an ever changing generations where we can connect with others around the world I’d love to look into your italian courses, Vatican city is surrounded by Italy, and they speak the language there. I’d like to visit the city at least once in my lifetime. With the italian courses I’ll get a personal experience, a new language that helps me communicate, and experience for Political Science, since my goal is to work with the UN or EU. Specifically I’d like to address poverty and how everyday people can make a difference. I got the idea when visited a food bank with my school in late 2014/early 2015. That is an experience that has changed my view about poverty and what I can do to help the unfortunate. After you’ve read this hopefully you will consider me as possible candidate, as after high school my destination is to enroll in the Graduate Institute of International and Development Studies and finally meet my role model Dr.
