Why Catholic Education Is Important To Me

Why a Catholic Education is Important to Me I am privileged to have been given the gift of Catholic Education. A Catholic Education has been a part of my life for the past 11 years, from preschool to now. It provides me with the morals and virtues that everyone person should live by. Being in high school it has allowed me to realize how important a Catholic Education is. My education has been filled with a sense of value for education, for life, and for Christ. I have been taught to have respect for myself, for others, and for other people’s things. The no tolerance policy for bad behavior creates a caring and safe environment. When my Catholic beliefs are included in my everyday learning it helps me to become a better person and stronger in my faith. The students and staff make a choice everyday to be apart of the Catholic Education system. This special commitment means that students and teachers want to talk about God and his special presence in all that we do. Each and everyday you walk into school it is Christ centered. People are not afraid to talk about their faith or say “God bless you” or “Merry Christmas”. Christ is the main focus in all of our lives and celebrating his life everyday is important. It is comfortable knowing you are able to talk about God or go on retreats and learn to be open to pray
in many ways. I want to be able to go onto college so I feel that I will be prepared acidemically and spiritually to handle whatever life brings me.
The daily encouragement to do well, be kind, and serve others will continue throughout my life. Having a Catholic Education will make my years as a teenager a little easier by being surrounded by kids with the same morals and values as me. I feel that the teachers and staff really care about bringing God into our lives along with educating us. It is not only a teaching job to them, it is service to us students. They want all of us to develop into excellent young people as well as giving us the best
education. My experience so far has been awesome at Catholic schools. I have received a great education by wonderful teachers, I made lifelong friends, I have learned to serve others, and strengthened my relationship with God. I would like to continue the experience of the same things as I go through Padua. I look forward to a close knit, safe environment with A group of people who respect each other and can freely talk about God. I am given so many blessings in life, like education, so it seems right the guys a focus in the process and the two go hand-in-hand. I am given so many blessings in life, like education, so it seems right because a focus in the process and the two go hand-in-hand. Taking time out of the weekly school schedule to attend mass, confessions, stations of the cross, and many other Christ really buns shows the importance of God in our lives. I am taught to honor God in service to others. By volunteering to help the needy or elderly or less fortunate we give of ourselves to others who really appreciate it. By doing this we are spreading Gods words by our actions. It really does give you a good feeling about yourself when you help other people. We are also challenged excel in our classwork. The teachers have high expectations for us academically. We are prepared to succeed in any other schooling we attend. We develop a strong sense that we are the children of God with morals and values in place. I want to continue to grow in my faith throughout the next phases of my education. That is one of the main reasons I chose to go to a Catholic high school. A safe environment where people care about each other seems like a great way to experience high school.
