Reflective Essay: Adapting To Southern Catholic Church

473 Words2 Pages

I would like to transfer to Northwest Catholic because of the religion classes, World Language program, and College Advisory. I have heard great things about the school from parents of students, current students, and alumni. One of the things I found very interesting about the school is the religious courses. I go to Church every Sunday that it is possible to do so. From this, I have learned so much about the church and the ways of life of people inside the church. However, the discussion of these topics in greater detail interests me a lot. I think it would be great to learn more about the Catholic Church in specific because I am Episcopalian and do not know all that much about the lifestyle and actual services. I think the class of Christian …show more content…

I would love to continue taking Latin at my next school, which is why it is great to know there are so many course options for Latin here. Even having the option to take Latin IV and study The Aeneid, a book I have been interested in for a while now. I hope to find great success in Latin at Northwest Catholic. Another aspect of Northwest Catholic that I thought seemed great was the college advisory program. As I maneuver through the secondary school application process, it is nice to have our Secondary School Advisor to ask about interviews, shadow days, and other parts of the application. The entirety of the Secondary School process is stressful, and going through it now has made me think more about applying for colleges. I know if I had to go through college applications with no help, it would be much harder. One piece of Northwest 's program that stood out to me was test preparation for SATs/ACTs. It is also great to have assistance choosing the right college based on what you would like to major in and what your grades are. It is so helpful to know you have someone supporting you and keeping you on track right inside your

    After listening to the wisdom of Husky, one can recognize that he offers valuable insights, but also provides some inaccurate information regarding academic affairs in community college. Beginning with the valuable information, he is correct when he states that the cost of community college, in both tuition and price-per-credit, is significantly lower than a four-year institution. He is also partly correct about the curriculum. For students enrolled with the intention of transferring to a four-year institution, general education courses in the liberal arts are offered that will transfer to their desired school. He explains that these liberal arts courses are generally smaller than those offered at larger schools, and provide for more interaction with the instructor – both claims are true.

I see the Academy as a way to get accustomed to the rigor of college, as well as an opportunity to push myself academically. It would allow me to graduate from college quicker, which would enable post-graduate studies to be a more feasible option. Rather then continuing to be held back in my education, the Ohio State Academy would let me excel past high school curriculum. Another major advantage of this post-secondary program is the, although counter-intuitive, ability to be more involved in my high school extracurricular activities.

I have been raised in the Baptist/Southern Baptist church my entire life. My parents are from South Carolina, which is also where I grew up, so our idea of Church has always been a small community with a very relaxed atmosphere. I stopped attending the Baptists church when I was 16. I chose to join Bent-tree Bible Fellowship, a non-denominational church.

  • 5 Solas Of The Reformation Essay

    840 Words  | 4 Pages

    The five solas of the Reformation were, sola gratia, sola fide, solus Christus, sola Scriptura, and Soli Deo Gloria. Each of the five solas refuted at least one Roman Catholic teaching or doctrine that the Reformers did not find Biblical or true. The five solas of the Reformation were the foundation upon which all other Reformation teachings were based, and all of the Reformers agreed, despite their various other doctrinal differences. Sola gratia, Latin for by grace alone, means that man is saved by God’s grace alone and not by his own works. Paul explains this in detail in Ephesians 2:8-9 (NIV): “8 For it is by grace you have been saved, through faith—and this is not from yourselves, it is the gift of God— 9 not by works, so that no one can boast.”

As I made my way into the church their was an entry room where a man and a women and what seemed to be their two children greeted me and handed me a pamphlet that described what was going to take place in that days Sunday school and mass, then I made my way to another pair of doors where I could hear the choir singing, as I opened the doors the inside of the church was a tan wood looking color all around and had matching tan benches with burgundy red bedding to match the carpet, the thing that stood out most to me when I walked in was the large cross that was in the very front that shined very bright as if the sun was hitting it to give the whole church light, when I looked below the cross, the choir was singing and beside it was a women playing a piano with so much passion and in front of them was a the pastors book stand also a matching tan color with his bible.
