When I was younger I attended grammar school at St. Stanislaus Kostka in Maspeth, Queens. It was a small Catholic grammar school where there was one class in each grade. Moving on from this environment I attended Monsignor McClancy Memorial High School, a Catholic high school in Easy Elhurst Queens. McClancy was a small all-boys school with a strong sense of community. Here I was incredibly involved. I played sports such as Track and Baseball on both the Junior Varsity and Varsity level. I also participated in clubs ranging from Student Government, where I was the President, to Campus Ministry, where we volunteered to help both around the school and in the community. I have to say, Student Council was where I had the largest impact. I was able to accomplish much for the school community including adding a Junior-Faculty Volleyball game, getting a school mascot, organizing a school concert, getting a new water fountain, and many more beneficial additions. My experience at McClancy definitely played a major role in making me who I am today. Between the people that I met, the friends I made, the teachers I had, and the strong moral values I was able to attain I definitely appreciate my choice choosing McClancy and couldn’t imagine high school any other way at any other school. Now as a college student, I expect to be able to pursue larger things on a larger scale. Instead of just helping to change things in a small community of 300-400 people, I want to be able to instill positive change to greater society. It is this passion to help and make a difference that drives me forward. This first semester I hope to maintain a good GPA and begin to get involved around campus. This is a great time to get acclamated and set a trend for the next few years of my life.
