“If you dream it, you can do it” -Walt Disney. I have always dreamed of going to Catholic Central like my Grandpa Bill Sommers, my Grandma Kathleen Hands-Sommers, my dad David Kortz, my sister Kaleen Kortz, and my brother Will Kortz who currently goes there. I have watched them flourish and grow in their personality, their education and their faith. I dream about going to Catholic Central and growing as a person and in my catholic faith. I am a person who has always had goals and I’ve been focused on the future. In first grade, I knew I wanted to go to Zoo School. It took a lot of hard work and effort to be accepted. And I am a better person because of it. I am willing to put in the hard work and effort to be a student at Catholic

As I walk through the doors hundreds of memories flood into my mind as the smell of yesterday’s incense hits my nose. In a way I grew up here from baptism, first communion, to confirmation. Various friends and family scattered in the pews nodding to you as you enter the church since in a small town everyone knows everyone. The church is large and ornate for where it is placed; a little town of roughly 200 people. The inside is magnificent with intricately carved wooden pillars and elaborate paintings of Bible stories on the dome ceiling.

RIIINNNGG!! The buzzing alarm sounded at 6:30, and I frantically jumped out of bed eager to begin my first missions trip.

Before I discuss my experience at Grace Lutheran Church I feel it would be beneficial to explain my Church Background, so that you can better understand my outsider view of the Sunday morning worship Service I attended. 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.

It took merely seconds during my first day of Lutheran school to realize I stood out like a drop of grease in an oasis. There was only one other South Asian attending the institution— my older brother. My parents enrolled me in a school they could hardly afford because they hoped it would improve my educational prowess, but it did a lot more than improve my erudition. I quickly became a chameleon, desperate to be accepted. I was the first child to be born in America throughout my entire ancestry.

After thoughtful reflection upon the aspects of Catholic education that attract me to the ministry of elementary school principal, as well as being a life-long practicing Catholic, four qualities stand out most: • The Catholic viewpoint of education has always paid particular attention to the quality of interpersonal relations in the school community, especially those between teachers and students. This ensures that we regard the student as an individual whose academic growth is harmonized with spiritual, religious, emotional, and social growth.

Growing up Christianity had always been part of my life and there was no question about it. My family was christian and the culture that my parents grew up in was heavily religious. However, I personally never had a true connection to Christ at a young age. To me church was the place I went to answer questions in Sunday School and win prizes for it, and that was how I saw it for a long time. It was hard for me to see it has more than that and from the outside I may have looked like the kid had a true connection with Christ by the way I talked in front of the church when my class presented, or the fact that I was able to answer most if not all the questions correctly.

I will be honest, I knew what I wanted to do, but I had no idea how to get there. Temple showed me what I needed to do by the end of my freshman year.

I check my watch as I race to catch my first ever Austin Metro bus home. My metro bus ride to school in the morning proved disastrous. Taking the southbound rather than the northbound bus had left me confused while waiting for the return bus and embarrassed while explaining the reason for my late arrival to school. It 's 4:33.
