Throughout my time here, I have been constantly surrounded by individuals who are strong in their faith and eager to share it with others. The environment at MVCS was open to making sure I understood my faith and had a close relationship with God. Additionally, the school curriculum was centered around biblical teachings, allowing me to not only learn about God's word, but also apply it to my daily life. As a result, I have developed a deeper understanding and appreciation for my faith, and feel more connected to God than ever before. During my time at Mission Viejo Christian School, I have gained not only spiritual knowledge, but also knowledge that will help better prepare me for high school and all academic years to come.

(Boston College). Catholic schooling is always viewed with the stereotype of nuns and uniforms, but it is much more than that. At Catholic schools, students are taught moral lessons and life skills that they would not learn anywhere else. Through theology classes and a detailed focus on religion, students can realize what types of beliefs there are in the world and what they want to believe in. It gives students a chance to find out who they are and see if religion is something that they want to participate in.

Many argue that social studies has taught the basics because it is the status quo. Grades k-3 miss out on important stories and explanations because the heavy focus is on founding fathers, democracy and geography. Through Ravitch's research, she realized that, "The social studies curriculum for the K-3 grades is organized around the study of relationships within the home, school, neighborhood, and local community" (Ravitch, pg. 1). Young students' social studies instruction mostly focuses on these concepts about important leaders and founding fathers. The consequences of this content is that students do not learn about legends, folklore and fairy tales.

Many people have mixed opinions about teaching religion. I, however, believe that it is important to teach young people about ancient religions not just Catholicism to have a holistic view and understanding of our culture.

For example without studying ancient Rome and Greece connect with Catholic ideologies, how Catholicism stemmed from these two religions or how they are founders designed the initial concept of democracy Learning to understand and appreciate other cultures religious histories and cultures allow students to gain a new found respect of diversity and develop an understanding of cultural differences. It provides all students with a rich and well-rounded knowledge of Australia's

Personal Philosophy I believe that Catholic education seeks to form the whole child – mind, body and soul. Each student is made in the image and likeness of God and this commands a responsibility to stimulate a thirst for learning – learning about God, the world and self. In learning about God, the role of the educator is first and foremost to be a faithful Catholic. Although parents are the first educators of the faith, as the Body of Christ, administrators and teachers have a crucial part in the formation of young minds.

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.
