The Purpose Of Saint John XXIII Education
"How a Saint John XXIII education can contribute to my future and what I can contribute to the school in return."

I think that Saint John XXIII will do a great deal for my future for whatever I choose to do, although I am not yet entirely sure what that may be. I have read many great things about the school, and I feel that Saint John XXIII can help give me the opportunity to earn a high education at a good college, and give me tools that I can apply to the real world. Also I am very interested in the Catholic faith and would like to learn more about it, I wouldn't mind minoring in the theology in college as it intrigues me very much. As for what I can contribute to the school, there are a few things. I am a hard worker if I set my mind to

    Even though the Italians said the Gothic architecture is “barbaric” and should discontinue the style, surprisingly the style is still being constructed to this day. I chose the St. John the Divine because it has so much similarity to the Cathedral of Notre Dame, Paris. Even though the St. John the Divine is unfinished, it is a very big tourist attraction, just like the Cathedral of Notre Dame. They both have the whole gothic style look, such as the wheel windows, that you notice, almost always, first and stained glass windows. The only difference that is noticeably is how the Cathedral of Notre Dame has a different front look then St. John the Divine.…

    First, I would like to praise you for the hundreds of young men you send from your school every year. The time and effort that you have invested in these young men is incredible. It really shows off when they graduate and go to college because they are at a whole other level than the other young men who are attending the colleges and universities. My second praise for the church at Jesuit Tampa is the number of students the convert to Catholicism. It is truly amazing the numbers of students that are baptized and confirmed through the confirmation classes held at…

    Ave Maria University is known as a prestigious institution of learning. Each and every young adult has the right to learn. This brings me back to the times when I was given the opportunity and pleasure to mentor grade school students in the sport of baseball. I took this opportunity to not only teach them the fundamentals of the sport, but I was also blessed with learning compassion and patience from these young enthusiastic learners. This opened a door for me to go on to mentoring underprivileged students at the University of Illinois at Chicago campus. This touched me so much that it would be an honor while attending Ave Maria University, to get involved in mentoring and volunteer work on campus and within the community. My academic career choice is aimed at giving back. It would be a privilege to study here, especially for students like myself, whose careers may take them anywhere. A degree with your institution is sure to open doors and opportunities for me, regardless of where I am.…

    It was that night I learned about the college. As my father and I always parked at the Holy Cross campus to go to the football games I really liked the feel of everything and could one day picture myself on these grounds. One thing that I always liked about this college was that, it was not too big or too small it was just right and fit me well. Every time my dad and I needed directions or short cuts to the games, many of the times it was the Holy Cross students and they were very polite and helpful. Another thing that I had always planned to do when I go to college was do my best to make it to a catholic college because my faith is what shapes me and is what makes me the hardworker and persistent person I am. If accepted into Holy Cross not only would it be an honor but I would take great pride and do everything I can to…

    To the average person it was just another day in St. John’s, Newfoundland, however, to me it was much more. It marked the day I would run across Canada, from the Atlantic to the Pacific- from St. John’s to Victoria. As I stood upon a small inlet by the coast of St. John’s, I prepared myself for a journey of a lifetime. I tried to kick my feet into the bare sedimentary rock by the jagged coastline- bad idea, and I’d be needing those feet for a while. After hours of preparation, I was finally ready to go, but my hands were trembling. As if I wasn’t controlling them my feet began moving, and I soon found myself at a light jogging pace. Years of training had prepared me for this.…

    As nervous as I was when I walked into Saint Joseph Catholic School (K-8) for my first day of kindergarten, I never thought I would be able to leave after 6th grade and enter the world of middle school. In a small school of about 400 kids, I was familiar with every face that passed by me in the hallway. I got to know the kids in my grade so well and we all knew each other’s life stories. By the time I was in 6th grade at Saint Joseph, some of my friends were planning on going to Kinard middle school in 7th grade. At this point in my life, I was not completely content with where I was going to school. The realization came to me that it was time to move on. It was time for me to try something new.…

    An educational philosophy is the tool that provides direction, and forms the conceptual structure for a school’s purpose and mission. Thomas Hopkins (1941) noted that “philosophy has entered into every important decision that has ever been made about curriculum, and teaching in the past, and will continue to be the basis of every important decision in the future…” (as cited in Ornstein, 2015). The fundamental and essential basis for my philosophy of Catholic education originated from a strong belief in a duty to serve God, and an understanding that each child is a unique gift from God, with individual needs, abilities and potential. This philosophy underlies the mission I adopted from the Diocese of Arlington, “to serve God by providing for the social, emotional, physical, spiritual, and academic development of each child,” while helping each child develop a personal relationship with Jesus Christ. As a Catholic school administrator, my philosophy of education reflects the desire to be a servant leader, dedicated to meeting individual student learning needs. In this way, student needs are put ahead of administrator or teacher needs.…
