Why Catholic Education Is Important To Me

Why a Catholic Education is Important to Me I am privileged to have been given the gift of Catholic Education. A Catholic Education has been a part of my life for the past 11 years, from preschool to now. It provides me with the morals and virtues that everyone person should live by. Being in high school it has allowed me to realize how important a Catholic Education is. My education has been filled with a sense of value for education, for life, and for Christ. I have been taught to have respect for myself, for others, and for other people’s things. The no tolerance policy for bad behavior creates a caring and safe environment. When my Catholic beliefs are included in my everyday learning it helps me to become a better person and stronger in my faith. The students and staff make a choice everyday to be apart of the Catholic Education system. This special commitment means that students and teachers want to talk about God and his special presence in all that we do. Each and everyday you walk into school it is Christ centered. People are not afraid to talk about their faith or say “God bless you” or “Merry Christmas”. Christ is the main focus in all of our lives and celebrating his life everyday is important. It is comfortable knowing you are able to talk about God or go on retreats and learn to be open to pray
The daily encouragement to do well, be kind, and serve others will continue throughout my life. Having a Catholic Education will make my years as a teenager a little easier by being surrounded by kids with the same morals and values as me. I feel that the teachers and staff really care about bringing God into our lives along with educating us. It is not only a teaching job to them, it is service to us students. They want all of us to develop into excellent young people as well as giving us the best
