Essay

On a separate page, please write a short essay addressing one of the following two topics:

1.  In addition to academic achievement, Rosedale’s summer programs aim to instill a sense of personal worth by developing students’ talents, character and spirit of service. What do you think is important in a program with these aims? In what ways do you think you could contribute to the girls’ personal development?

2.  “Dear Friends...together with young people across the world let us learn from God himself the right way to be human beings." (Pope Benedict XVI, from homily at 23rd World Youth Day, March 16, 2008)
