Our Lady of Wisdom
Being part of Our Lady of Wisdom has made me learn many things over the nine years I’ve been in one. I have learned that we are not a school, we are all a family. Everyone fits in and is loved at Catholic school. I’ve learned many of the morals and values I know today by being Catholic. Little did I know these morals and values would have such an impact of how my personality is today.
Out of all the years I went to Our Lady of Wisdom, I’ve learned that you will be loved no matter what, and you will learn to love one another just like Jesus did. Catholic school has shown me how to love one another and that reflected upon my discipline and maturity. It built my charcter and made me feel comfortable talking to others and being social. Without Catholic school I would have never been social. I would have been the quiet one sitting in the corner alone. At Catholic school no one sits alone. Everyone sits together at lunch and being this close and talking everyday builds me to become a more social person.
Our Lady of Wisdom has also showed me how to relate to the reading in church and lessons Jesus taught. “Treat others how you would want to be treated,” was a lesson by Jesus, also known as the Golden Rule. I have followed this rule ever since my second grade teacher told me that when I was younger. This inspired me to become a helpful person and really showed me to serve others just like Jesus did when they are in need. Being a part of a Catholic school also shows me how to be a hard worker. Over the years, I have learned about how serious doing well on a test and handing in my homework on time really is. It has made me more serious about my work ethic and it has made me a hard worker ever since.
In the end, Our Lady of Wisdom will be the most important stage of my life. It has shown me how to be like Jesus and serve others. I can definitely say that my own personality would not be what it is without this Catholic school experience. I would prefer Catholic school to others because if it built the outgoing, funny, and loving personality I have today, people would be able to tell that you grew up around a Catholic family. Most importantly, I am proud to be part of a Catholic school and proud to be a Christian.
