Recommended: Is private school better than public

Since I was in kindergarten, I never had the privilege to attend a catholic school. About a year ago now, though, my family and I moved from Chelsea, Alabama, in Shelby County, to Foley, Alabama, in Baldwin County. That is only about a four hour difference, which, might not seem big but it was to me. I had moved once before, but, that was in first grade, when I did not really know my classmates that well. It was a big step and I did not know what to expect from a Catholic school having no prior knowledge of one. Now, though, I love St. Benedicts Catholic school. It has been a great experience for me. One thing I love, for example, is all the different options we have for specials and extracurricular activities. I also like that in this school, …show more content…

the extra activities can include: peer helping, student government Association or SGA, National Junior Honor Society or NJHS, choir, and yearbook. I, myself, am in choir, NJHS, and peer helping. In choir, I get to sing at Mass in the choir loft and go several places to perform. st. Benedict 's also has a performance choir, they do a lot more performing than the Mass Choir, but, they do not sing at mass. Peer helpers tutor younger students that have trouble and help them with any problem that they might have. SGA and NJHS both help out around the school . they help organize and set up such school events like the German fest and the dance.
One last thing that I love about this school, is that we receive a great religious education. we attend daily religion classes and we attend Mass every Friday. previously to st. Benedict 's, I never really receive a good religious education. My school was not Catholic, so, no religion class there. I did attend Sunday school, but, it wasn 't as good as the religion class and that I have now. It is more in depth of what our religion is all about and I love getting to learn more about my religion.
In the end, I am very lucky to be privileged enough to attend a Catholic school, especially, this one. I, having no prior knowledge of what Catholic school was like, and very impressed by the school. I am proud to attend such a wonderful school. St Benedict has really shown me what I

With every new day comes a new experience and different opportunities are behind every curb.

Michael the Archangel School from kindergarten to eighth grade. I loved everything about St. Mike’s, especially religion class. Since St. Michael’s is a Catholic Parish, they teach the catechism and Church history to their students. This was the number one thing I enjoyed about being a St. Michael Defender. I looked forward to starting every day off with religion class and prayer.

I would like to attend Archbishop Mitty High School for many reasons. Some of those reasons are the community, the academics, and the athletics. After shadow days, the open house, and hearing from students one of the primary reasons to attend Archbishop Mitty High School is the community. The students and teachers really know and care about each other. There is so much love to go around for everyone.

I have received a great education and an understanding of my religion that has readied me for an amazing high school career and later a great life. One of the most important values OLG has taught me is to accept everyone because we are all equal in God’s eyes. OLG has a very diverse student population that has introduced me to many different cultures and religions. In the real world, we are not all going to look or act the same. God made each of us different!

I have been in a goddamn all girls’ Catholic School for eight years. I don’t like how my school is forcing us, the students, to act as a catholic, to become a catholic, and to follow the the teachings in bible. As one of the student in a catholic school, the daily task is praying and singing hallelujah to God, Jesus, and St. Mary. That is stupid and meaningless since no one is actually praying.

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.
