1. SAPIENTIA AEDIFICAT or WISDOM BUILDS or WISDOM EDIFIES is a legacy of the CICM founders of SLU to the Louisian students to realize. Our founders envisioned Lousians to explore and develop their whole, integrated, and full potentials and use such to effect positive change in others and in the society. TALENT BEYOND BORDERS...CICM (Creating Initiatives for Compassion and Mercy) is developed by SLU NSTP to provide Louisians opportunity to explore, develop, and integrate their non-academic potentials as resources that can help transform community welfare. Louisians can gain confidence in the giftedness that they each have. And Louisians can continue to confide that through their respective giftedness, they each can be relevant and be formidable agents of bringing “mercy and compassion” to various communities. Louisians can engage their talents to go beyond themselves and their apparent limitations to reach and live among communities and societies needing the Lousian’s touch of mercy and compassion. By their talents shared beyond, Louisians can fully be in “one heart and in one soul” with communities. SLU NSTP continue to Create Initiatives for Lousians to be bearers of Mercy and Compassion to various communities, being true to the Louisians’ missionary identity as envisioned by the CICM founders of the University.
2. SLU NSTP has been one of the avenues where Lousians sustained their commitment to make a difference in community welfare. For many years now, SLU NSTP has showcased efforts of making a difference in its various contributions to community welfare. SLU NSTP envisions to sustain and further intensify these efforts in community

    While it is important for an individual to have a high self-esteem in order to fulfill his or her goal, it is also important to know one’s weaknesses and respect the capabilities of others. Jean Twenge demonstrates this idea in her essay,“An Army of One: Me,” and shows how having high self-esteem without a solid basis for it can lead to children who feel superior to others. In contrast to the egotistical people illustrated in Twenge’s essay, in his essay, “Wisdom,” Robert Thurman discusses how the process of reaching enlightenment is difficult, but once achieved leads to a compassionate life where an individual can feel empathy with others. Subsequently, in her essay, “Selections from Reading Lolita in Tehran,” Azar Nafisi focuses on teaching…

    Without some the reversals in his own life, he would have been unable to become the man he was. That is why I would like to institute a community service project titled “A Series of Fortunate Reversals” (ASFR), to help combat education inequality in low-income areas. To be a part of ASFR, parents must demonstrate a willingness to work, to better their own lives with support of the AU community, ASFR is not a free handout. Preferably, ASFR will work with mothers during the developmental years, from pregnancy to the age of six. Families will receive support from departments in the College of Arts and Sciences and the Kogod School of Business. Students and faculty from the elementary and secondary education, health promotion, psychology and finance majors will support ASFR families. This way parents can gain financial and mental health counseling and learn how to lead a healthy lifestyle for themselves and children. They will also receive academic support for themselves so they will be able to support their children through their own academic journeys. Children will also receive academic support and counseling if needed. By providing these support systems, the goal is to showcase the value of education and to encourage a life-long love of learning. Families can participate in many of the free events held throughout the city of Washington DC as extra enrichment. Education is often the key to…

    Throughout the past few years I have taken part in many projects and activities to foster education and global engagement. The most recent is my upcoming outreach trip to the Agnes Zabali Boys and Girls Club. This trip was planned by myself, 3 other education students and our faculty supervisor. The purpose of this trip is to provide support for the Agnes Zabali Boys and Girls Club (AZBGC). As Education students, we are taking this opportunity to provide daily lessons for the children who visit the Boys and Girls Club. We started the planning in September and we have put in over 120 hours since then in order to make this trip as beneficial for the children at the AZBGC. Apart of this planning, we have raised funds to help support the children's’ education costs. While planning for this outreach trip, I decided to partner with a local grade seven class to teach them about social justice. Their classroom teacher told me that with the recent media attention in the USA she is having difficulty teaching her students about justice and discrimination. We decided to partner together to teach both the Ugandan Children as well as the Canadian grade seven class about what it is like to live in a different part of the world. This partnership will entail writing letters to each other as well as creating a video about life in each of their respective locations.…

    Essay On Vernon Hill Life

    • 645 Words
    • 3 Pages

    John’s High School, the Xaverian Brothers’ mission to use one’s education to help others was an abstract concept and Vernon Hill was simply a low-income neighborhood that I drove through to get to lacrosse practice. I, admittedly, volunteered at Ascension to fulfill community service requirements. Now, as I prepare to graduate, the Catholic philosophy is no longer just words, the neighborhood is not just city squalor, and Rash is not just the boy I tutor. My afternoons mentoring Rash have been transformative. I have not been able to radically alter the stark realities of Rash’s circumstances, but I brought some joy and a glimpse of brighter future possibilities beyond the constraints of Vernon Hill. The initial service obligation flourished into the equally beneficial, life-changing opportunity to make a difference not only for Rash-Angel but for…

    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.…

    The school chosen for the Vanguard Award should foster students with the capability of becoming Toltecabad’s future leaders. In selecting a school, it must be considered whether the compassionate or the inquisitive should be supported. As a selection committee member, I believe that both traits are equally vital to a functioning society. Compassion and generosity are vital in maintaining strong human relationships; although, progress within any field cannot be made without an inquisitive mind to challenge the current status. The school chosen should foster students that will challenge how to solve any problem and use their empathy and understanding to find the best solution. For this reason, the Colima School is the best choice for the Vanguard…

    The location of UA COM in Phoenix will offer me numerous learning opportunities like clinical experiences through nine clinical affiliates which will expose me to a wide array of people from various backgrounds, which is a vital part of being a physician in training.

    I want to explore how far my imagination can take me. I believe that the ‘educated hope’ that Cornel West and Paolo Friere write about is possible. I need to do the work to imagine a path to that kind of hope and that kind of future. From the ‘Pockets of Hope’ article, I can see that I can’t walk the path alone. I need to imagine the future for myself however, so that I can utilize the power-with. If I don’t have the path before me clear, I don’t think I will be very good at finding strength with others. I also need to answer this question in order to be capable of the kind of self-care that I think I will need. I don’t want to take care of myself by escaping the world. I want to be able to care for myself by going back to the world that I can imagine. After reading about the inequities in California in Pedro Noguero’s ‘City Schools’, I felt that I needed to imagine some way out of the dilemma that he…

    Immeasurable times a person’s outlook on education can be limited to just reading, writing, sciences, and math, leaving them close minded on assisting the community around them. Fr. Pedro Arrupe’s statement, ‘‘our prime educational objective must be to form men and women for others, who believe that a love of self or of God which does not issue forth in justice for the least of their neighbors is a farce.’’ is concluding that we, as citizens, should focus our primary education on being a well-rounded person. With that said, the best way to put forth our best self is to work to be sure everyone in our communities is provided with basic necessities that are essential to help one live. I have witnessed this first hand with my own sister, Jessica…

    As a student I have read several essays, all in different but connecting points of view that explore in depth the diverse ways of education, educating in the literate arts, learning, using the information, and applying it to life. In reading the controversial opinions expressed throughout these essays, the question, “What are the literate arts good for?” has crossed my mind more than a few times. Four authors that elaborate on the concept of determining the purpose of literate arts education are Paolo Freire in The Banking Concept of Education, Mary Louise Pratt in Arts of the Contact Zone, Richard Rodriquez in The Achievement of Desire, and Richard Miller in The Dark Knight of the Soul.…

    Albeit there are many Jesuit universities scattered throughout the country, Seattle University’s Matteo Ricci College of Humanities sets it apart from all others. I am extremely fortunate to attend John F. Kennedy Memorial High School where Matteo Ricci classes are offered. I am currently taking the Public Policy/Social Justice course. The class has uncovered various avenues of critical thinking that I have never considered before.
