     • summary: I’ll admit, coming to Notre Dame was not the smooth transition that I thought it would be; after all, it was my dream school for many years. In high school, I was involved in many clubs and extracurricular activities, but here at Notre Dame, I took it a step further and would genuinely make an effort to get to know the people involved in the clubs outside of what the club was talking about.

     • summary: Especially in the ever-busy routine of college life, I’ve found that the best way to feel better in a moment is to ask myself what I’m feeling and, if it’s something not-so-great, what I need to remedy it, rather than picking apart everything that I could have done differently in the past. And so, at age eighteen, here I am sitting down in front of this metaphorical mirror, and asking myself what I have come to understand about what it means to truly live life well.

As one Grotto video we watched this semester mentioned, it is important to “focus on what we can do for others” ( Five Minutes by Aria Swarr on Grotto – Moreau Week 6), and while I think this part of my mission statement will be observed more later in life, I think there are ways I can start living it out today by building a good foundation.

I reached this conclusion because while reading the school’s mission statement and figuring out what types of values and goals are embodied in mission statements generally, I decided that the primary goal that I seek is helping others because I find it very fulfilling (Notre Dame Mission statement, Moreau week 13).

     • summary: It’s easy to get focused on myself, because personal growth is important, but it’s just as important to channel that growth in ways that can benefit others. It’s not easy, and there are times that it’s uncomfortable both for me and for others, but I believe that I have an obligation and a need to care for others and treat them well. From my personal growth to my treatment of others, the Moreau First Year Experience has opened my eyes to important beliefs that have become fundamental to my everyday actions.

     • summary: Education and hard work must not be discredited, because setting oneself up for a successful future career will ultimately benefit one’s relationships by removing stressors such as finances; but this simply shows that the purpose found in careers is not to merely keep moving up until one is at the top but instead to work hard to be able to increase their quality of life and that of their loved ones. Value does not only need to be defined by schoolwork, but must also be defined by establishing relationships, because at the end of our lives our focus will be on our loved ones, not on our past education and careers.

     • summary: During Week Eleven, we discussed the value of community, and Parker Palmer outlines many of the benefits of living in community in his “Thirteen Ways of Looking at Community:” he defined community as “not a goal to be achieved but a gift to be received” and states that we “need other people for comfort, encouragement, and support, and for criticism, challenge, and collaboration” (“Thirteen Ways of Looking at Community” by Parker Palmer – Moreau FYE Week Eleven). Though Notre Dame is not a relatively diverse campus in terms of race, ethnic background, or religion, I think that there is rich diversity of thought at ND, and I want to learn more about the different values, interests, and goals of other people within the Notre Dame community.

     • summary: The evil of stereotyping has leached itself so deeply into society that it can affect people at the subconscious level, even when they are trying to be as impartial as possible; this is the issue of implicit bias, which even today causes substantial issues such as people unfoundedly perceiving African-Americans as more cold and violent (“How to Think About Implicit Bias” by Payne, Neimi, and Doris—Moreau Week 7). In addition, through inner reflection, we can tackle our issues and refine our character, as character building is not just about building on our strengths, but also about addressing our weaknesses (“Should You Live for your Resume or Your Eulogy” by David Brooks—Moreau Week 2).

Here at Notre Dame, I’ve been confronted with more people of color and other minorities than ever before, and its made me more aware of my own implicit bias, as has my experience in the classroom (How to Think About ‘Implicit Bias’ – Keith Payne, Laura Nieme, John M.

     • summary: By Mike Scanlon The second half of Moreau has truly altered my own perspective on life and specifically living at Notre Dame. Thus, another difference I have found in how I live my life at school in contrast to how I lived before Notre Dame is that I am much more accepting and interested in the many perceptions of life that come with meeting people from different cultures.

     • summary: Similar to many other aspects of life, I believe that the definition of a life well-lived is dynamic, changing, and refining with every state of life. While the concept of death is somewhat morbid, coming to terms with the brevity of life allows us to discern what we wish to take away from our brief time on Earth, leading to a more meaningful and fulfilling life.

Devron the true scope of racism: We see systemic racism in higher rates of incarceration, longer sentences and capital penalties for equal crimes for Blacks as compared to their white counterparts.

When actions start being justified with ‘because I love you’ (“Because I Love You” by That’s Not Love Campaign - Moreau FYE Week Four) and ‘unconditional love’ is brought up as a way to get out of putting in work, then that relationship is no longer healthy and that is a condition under which it should end.

The only way to live a full life is if you are not being held back by your past, so learning to address these instances and to move forward is a vital part of growing up and moving forward, and it truly helped me throughout this semester in adjusting to college life and moving past my inhibitions to be more confident in my actions and the results of them.

I have always been confident in my abilities, since I always thought it was that confidence that allowed for me to excel high enough to get into Notre Dame, but still at points since I have been here, there have been many times in which I thought my abilities would not be high enough to tackle the task I would need to do.

      • summary: People are actually inherently good, people want to do good but they feel like something is stopping them, they feel like doing good would seem unnatural to other people, and if someone were to be approached with help, we are at the state that someone would think help is due to ulterior motives, which is not entirely untrue in some cases, but that only makes the state in which we are right now as a society, as a race, worse. I believe that for someone to grow as their most authentic self they would need to go out of their comfort zone, they need to share their life and experiences with people who have also had different experiences and journeys, they should have the courage to know that no matter what they have been through, people will understand them and talk to them and relate to them in some way. Sometimes, people are driven to act in a certain way or be a certain way due to a desire they think they want from their peers and others, while they themselves might have a desire that they themselves do not know; and talking about experiences to other people and being authentic to one’s self does help in figuring out the journey a person thought they wanted to go through in contrast to a journey they want but just don’t know it yet.

      • summary: One of my favorite ideas from this half of the semester was from our discussion of community and how “long before community can be manifest in outward relationships, it must be present in the individual as ‘a capacity for connectedness’” (“Thirteen Ways of Looking at Community” By Parker J. Palmer - Moreau FYE Week Eleven). It is important for me to remember that only I can control my attitude towards a situation and by being honest with myself and others, I took charge to better my situation.

      • summary: I never cared much about football prior to coming here, and now one of my friends is on the team and I actually search up Notre Dame football and read articles like I’m studying for class, maybe a bit too much. Now that I have gotten over experiencing my first high of near complete freedom, I now realize the struggles and sacrifices it takes to excel here at Notre Dame.

Doris - Moreau FYE Week Seven). In week four we discussed toxic relationships, the article specifically defined healthy relationships as “one where two people are mutually growing and on a path toward becoming better people” (“Healthy Vs. Unhealthy Relationships” by The Red Flag Campaign - Moreau FYE Week Four).

I truly believe that these experiences will play a vital role into shaping me into a better person, and I have no doubts that that next couple of years here at Notre Dame will continue challenging me in unimaginable ways.

      • summary: In the future, I hope I can maintain an open mindset, where I am free to explore not only my stories but the stories of other people; I hope that by engaging in other stories I can formulate a better understanding of myself and a better understanding of the world. Participating in an activity similar to the “Where I’m From” poem, allows us to explore ourselves which is just as important as exploring other perspectives; when we can understand ourselves, we can understand other people (“Where I’m From” by George Ella Lyon - Moreau FYE Week VI).

      • summary: Week 13 - Integration The College Experience: Faith, Hope, and Community From my time at Notre Dame, I have learned that self-doubt poses the greatest challenge to personal, social and academic success. It is after these moments of brokenness are exposed that matters; the response to brokenness ultimately determines the future of community.
