San Carlos Seminary College

For about 90- 95% of the population in my school of around 1400 people, only .00003 % of them have to wake up at 7 o’clock every school day. This is exactly 4 people in the entire school, and is the amount of people I go to seminary with every morning at 6:30. Because of this my first day of high school was a little bit different from everyone else’s first day. While the rest of the kids in the town where still fast asleep in their beds I was showering and getting ready to go to a church class held at a house a few blocks away from my high school. At first I can’t say I was especially excited to have to wake up at 6 in the morning everyday just to go to seminary each morning before school, to me school was enough, but after my first year of seminary I could see the true impact it had on me. Wake up at 6:00, take a quick shower, brush my teeth, throw on some clothes, go to seminary at 6:30 to 7:20, get a bowl of cereal and go to school. This was a schedule no more than three high school students could testify to, and not one non-Mormon could truly appreciate. Going to seminary every morning and having to wake up an hour and half after most of your classmates is a big sacrifice, but is a sacrifice that almost all Mormon high school students undergo. Why? One might ask, why wake up that early and lose so much sleep. This is the same question I asked myself after slaving over getting out of bed for the first few days of seminary. I didn’t know if it was a sacrifice I was willing to make, yet I was determined to try. After a few weeks of my freshman year I began to get the hang of it, and after the next few months it was something I had to go to each morning in order to start the day of right. Yet seminary did not impact me simply because it was something I had to go to each day, for that wasn’t the reason at all. Seminary was not only a sacrifice but was a challenge to me personally to test my faith and my belief in my religion. It tested me not only mentally but physically as well. The Teen Who Woke Up Her School Analysis Waking up early at 6:00 A.M in the morning isn’t the funniest thing to do. The times on when school starts should be changed to a later time. Schools should change start times to later there is even factual evidence that this is true. In the article ‘The Teen Who Woke Up Her School’ by Jane Bianchi wrote about a teen named Jilly Dos Santos who put hard work into petitions and powerpoints to show how more sleep can better not only her but other people on school work and sports. People need more sleep to function and get through the day and to be more alert about things around them.Evidence from scientist and from teens show that people work better when they have more energy and got a good night's rest and when students don’t they sometimes start The Teen Who Woke Up Her School Summary Firstly, in the first article, a girl named Jilly Dos Santos stands up to the school and makes the school starting time later, by leading many students to help change the starting time. It also talks about how even students reading the article can step up and show their opinion to their school district about school starting times! in the article it states,” Your body isn't just on a later schedule though— your brain also needs more total hours of sleep (about 9.25 a night) to function at its best. Sadly, most teens are able to squeeze in only about 7.1 hours, on average.” This shows that if people don’t change the school starting times, most teenagers are losing around 2 hours of needing rest! in conclusion, if people like Jilly Dos Santos step up to change school times, teenagers may finally be able to get theyour first two years of youth ministry Having just finished this long and arduous tome.

This is a seminary college. They have a chapel for St. John Paul II. I was skeptical at first if they are open to non-seminarians. I am glad they are. The chapel is small and primarily for priests and nuns.
