Bain’s (2012) novel highlights the Jesuit value of well-rounded growth as a large contributor to success. Bain begins with an anecdote of a professor named Paul Baker who teaching a bizarre class focusing on finding oneself through a variety of activities. Baker asserts to the class those who aren’t constantly evolving by creating new ideas, concepts, and perspectives are “dead”. By “dead”, Baker means stagnant in growth of personality and intelligence. This evolution and growth Baker is referring to leads to a better understanding of oneself. This in turn allows one to know the best way for that individual to study, learn, and improve after failure which are all keys to success. It’s also important to have a wide encompassing education to live a balanced life.

How does one find their spirituality?

Getting the most out of college is a theme present in both the values of Jesuit education as articulated in the Gonzaga Mission Statement and Ken Bain’s “What the Best College Students Do”. This idea is presented in the overarching goal of Gonzaga University to “intentionally develop the whole person -- intellectually, spiritually, physically, and emotionally”. Gonzaga emphasizes the importance of the core curriculum in order to fulfill this goal and to educate students so that when they leave the university, they will be prepared not only to enter the workforce, but also to live a fulfilling life. This is seen in the requirements of the core curriculum, in which all students must take a variety of courses in order to become holistically educated.
For example, Brooks compares life to a business plan in which passions and gifts can be considered as the inventory . Goal setting and formulation of strategies is required to fulfill a particular purpose. To prove the theoretical methodologies of improving life, Brooks uses the experiences of different people. In each chapter, case studies of different people are reviewed to showcase how they planned their life and improved their personal development. This induces an element of logos, which relies on facts and logical reasoning to appeal to the audience.
My academic expectations of Vanguard University, are to be taught how to pursue knowledge, grow in character, deepen and strengthen my personal faith, and be be equipped for a life that is Spirit-led and Christ-centered. The ability to think is powerful, and I am giving my education over to Vanguard’s hands. I need and expect Vanguard to teach me how to think in a way that helps me to glorify God in all that I do. To go even deeper, thinking well doesn’t simply benefit me, but the world as well. I expect Vanguard to teach how to live for purposes higher than my own self. I hope to not only grow in knowledge, but to open my mind to see more clearly, act more justly, and love much more deeply than I ever thought possible.
In conclusion our prediction was wrong instead of Argo it was Baker's Corner was the thickest cornstarch out of them all, it went 17ft before it busted. The best cornstarch to use is Baker’s Corner. The results show that Argo our prediction was the worst out of all the corn starches, we thought that Argo would do the best because it was the most expensive brand of cornstarch.
Earning my undergraduate degree from Seattle University has opened a lot of doors and has expanded my ability to reflect on my life, my intellectual progress and my purpose to find direction. My persistence and determination to advance my education is to increase my knowledge, to become a successful leader and to enhance my contribution to society. In order for me to have a true academic rigor, I believe having the integrity of the Jesuit teaching could help me understand and guide me through the process. I have always found a personal and a professional sense of purpose from a Jesuit tradition.
There were two very distinct things in this chapter that I found interesting. I particularly liked when Bain explained about Paul Baker and Sherry Kafka’s encounter. Mainly, it was when she responded to Baker’s exclamation that she wants to be a writer. I thought that it was interesting that Sherry already knew that she was a writer. She did not care what other people had to say. She knew what she wanted to be and knew that she was already capable of it. The other thing is towards the end with Will Allen’s story. I found it interesting that the one thing he said he would never go back to is the thing that became his career. It even brought him to Time’s 100 most influential people and to the White House. That whole concept is something that
Tony Baker has been a resident of Landen for fifteen (15) years. His interests include volunteer work, gardening, sailing and travel. He was on the CSA Board from 2004-2006 and served as the CSA Treasurer. Mr. Baker currently serves on the CSA Board; he is the Chair of the Pathway Committee and the Assistant Treasurer. Mr. Baker served on the Building and Grounds Committee from 2005 through 2012. He was re-elected to the Board in 2012. The most important reason Tony moved to Landen was, “living on a body of water–-something I never thought I would be able to do in my lifetime.” His goals, if elected to the CSA Board, would be to continue the program started in 2004, not only to repair and replace the deteriorating infrastructure, but
Loyola University New Orleans calls on its students to develop the ability to learn across their lifetime — a critical component of success. As a Jesuit university, Loyola teaches a commitment to social justice, a desire to include the marginalized and an embrace of service. Ignatian pedagogy, with its emphasis on experience, critical thinking, effective communication and reflection is an active learning pedagogy. It is a tremendous asset, but its pragmatic value depends on how this approach is realized.
