Education has been an important part of my life since I was a young girl. I fell in love with reading at age eight, with writing at age ten, and history at age thirteen. However, I am not the smartest person you will ever meet. I tirelessly put in the hours studying and I’m determined to find a way to show my strengths. By putting my best effort in my work, I earned a spot in the top ten percent of my class and maintained over a 4.0 G.P.A. Hard work, dedication, and passion are life lessons I have learned.
My future role in society will be one of a helping hand. I want to be a speech language pathologist, help people learn how to talk, and be able to give a voice back to the voiceless. My education has given me the best opportunity to become the best speech language pathologist I could possibly be. As a speech pathologist, I need to be dedicated to my future

My Catholic school education has instilled in me the Catholic values and way of life. We have helped out the less fortunate, dying, sick, hungry, and elderly in our community. I was a captain of our Dance Marathon which raised over $34,000 dollars this year for the University of Iowa’s Children’s Hospital. We help these people without judgement. Everyone deserves respect and should be given it at all times. I will give all my future patients respect and treat them with dignity. Being a helping hand to those in need has been second nature to me. With this in mind, I knew that I want to continue helping others in my community because of the joy I have felt while partaking in the activities we have done as a school and the activities I have done on my own. We are pushed outside of our comfort zones at school to help others in need. I want to help other push out of their comfort zone and find a way to gain back their voice. The Catholic values of kindness, helpfulness, respect, and love are instilled in my brain and I will never stop spreading
Having the opportunity to work with underserved populations has sparked my interest in an area of medicine I previously did not know about. As a volunteer, I served as a patient advocate. As part of my responsibilities, I sat with the patients before, during, and after their visit to make sure their needs were met. Not all of these conversations were intense and deep-rooted, but to see the overall impact I was able to have on the patients as a volunteer was what caused me to be enamored with medicine. In addition, being a patient advocate was a great way to provide help to those that needed it the most.
In order to make it to adulthood, education is the priority of any individual. Students of all ages have one thing in common
I have the greatest admiration for two friends of ours. Robert and Debby are both from medium size Midwestern towns where they lived most of their lives and raised five daughters. Both were raised in the Catholic faith; Robert attended parochial school and Debby went to public schools. Debby has a great aunt who was a nun. Their religion is important to them and all their daughters attended Catholic schools.
One of the most important roles I would play as a speech pathologist are the different roles of advocate, counselor, and teacher. I want a career where I can form relationships with the people I serve, help my clients by rehabilitating their communication or creating a new form of communication, and educate others
Education is a big part of my life. In order to be as educated as I can be, and be prepared for my future, I have to take school seriously. In order to get good jobs, or the ones I really want, you must get a college degree. School is the framework of my life and should be taken seriously. I’ve worked my hardest
Prior to the Protestant Reformation, Catholic doctrine was to help the poor through gifts of alms and charity. Around the time of the Protestant Reformation, this idea of alms and charity was lost. The Catholic Church was becoming corrupt, instituting indulgences, which took the very little money poor citizens had, promising them a one-way ticket to Heaven, and focusing their money on ornate cathedrals. In search of its original values regarding the poor, Catholics were finding their own way to treat the impoverished, often times distinguishing the “deserving poor” from the “undeserving poor” based on how hard they worked, hoping to save money. The Catholic Reformation helped Catholics rediscover the idea that alms and charity to all poor were
Francis and Clare lived by reflecting religion and the Franciscan Tradition in a very loving way. I can mimic how they treated people and how they gave everything they had for others and God in my own life. I can show these Franciscan Values and the compassion that it emulates by giving nourishment, money, or support to those in need as well as being respectful and caring towards coworkers, mentors, and patients at the hospital. When I now see a person begging on the street I will support them by providing them with some food and drink. If I have no agenda for the day when I come across this beggar I will sit with them and ask about their life.
The religion I choose to observe for my fieldwork project is Catholicism. In order to complete the fieldwork assignment required for this paper I attended St. Lawrence Church on 5225 N. Himes Avenue in Tampa, FL. One of the reasons I chose to observe Catholicism for my fieldwork project is because it is a prominent religion throughout the world. In addition to the US, Catholicism is widely supported within Europe and Latin American countries. Another reason I chose Catholicism is because I found it to be relatively different from my own religion, Hinduism.
I have always wanted to help people and to help them better their lives, but I never could figure out how I could make that passion a reality, until the day I was diagnosed with depression and anxiety at age eleven. After that rough period in life, I learned how I could help other people. I could listen to them and try to help them better understand themselves. Life is much easier for a person when they have people who believe in them like a psychologist or therapist. My college plan would be to earn a bachelor, and master degree in Psychology to become a Behavior Analyst.
the why we approach patients in a certain way. Look forward to broadening my knowledge base, learning theory behind nursing and approaching patients in a different way. When caring out orders and discharging patients today I'm thinking of the learning style and
You have to pull yourself together and be active in school. Everyone can be something great if they just study hard enough. That’s what the president of the United States, Barack Obama, says in his speech from 2009. He visits the first day of school in Wakefield High School in Arlington, Virginia, and tries to give the students a pep talk. He wants the students to be hardworking and take responsibility for their own lives.
Solid skills in reading, writing and math are very important. However, much of what we know is learned outside of school. Experiences shape who we are and the knowledge we gain from those events can be helpful to success inside of school and inevitably one’s future. Through an examination of articles and personal experiences one can see the difference socioeconomic class makes on experiences with education.
As Roman Catholics, it is our religious duty to serve others whether those people are a part of our religious community or whether they are from any other type of community. Service is an important aspect of life for not only Catholics but also every single person in the world. By performing various acts of service in our communities, a person’s life can be greatly improved just through a simple act of kindness and love from the person’s heart. Not only can an act of service be beneficial to the person or organization that the volunteer is performing the service for, but it can also be beneficial to the person who is partaking in this act of service for another human being. No matter your age, your background, or your religious affiliation, service is a crucial part of our everyday lives and everyone should get involved in this and do a service out of the good of their hearts.
I am writing this letter to inform you about my Catholic perspective of racism which is a globally occurring, contemporary global issue that is harming many people, whereby over 4.6 million people suffer from racism in Australia and is gradually increasing overtime. Racism is the inequality and discrimination towards different nationalities, religions, genders, age, disabilities, culture, clothing and lifestyles. Racism is definitely an issue that affects people physically and cognitively due to violence and abuse, as well as insulting and mocking others that differ from a particular race. This globally occurring issue is unacceptable and must be STOPPED!
In my younger years, I already remember my parents teaching me basic Catholic prayers and telling me stories or parables from the Bible. In addition, I spent my grade school and high school years in a Catholic school in Pasig. For ten years, we would pray before and after every subject and break time. Catholic retreats, recollections, seminars, and outreach events became a part of our student life, apart from having religion classes three times a week. In short, I grew up actively practicing the Catholic faith, with Jesus as the center and the role model of my life.
