503 Words3 Pages

Fr. Pedro Arrupe’s motto “educating men and women for others “sends a strong message about putting others before yourself which is key in having a fulfilling, complete life. Through his statement, I believe Fr.

As my senior comes to a close, I reflect on the foundation of the Jesuit beliefs that have been taught to me and know that the Jesuit ways are important to live by. Both the Jesuit teachings and my special friend Ed have influenced me to continue to be a man for and with others in my
