   To be totally honest, the main reason I am enrolled in this class is because I looked up all the teachers for religious studies classes and Father Ted had the best review. I have learned from my time in college that it is more about the teacher than the subject.
   I also attended a catholic high school, St. Paul's in Covington, so I was interested when I saw that this class would be focusing on one person. We learned a lot of Saint De la Salle at Saint Paul's. I think it is important to know who your school is named after and I'll know more than enough when I'm done with this class.
   The main thing I want out of this class is to be able to have a good idea of why my school is named after this person. Its always a good thing to know, though many students probably couldn't tell you much about Mr. Loyola. I also just took the general religious studies class and I got an over view of pretty much any religion you can think of, so I'm glad to be focusing in one general area.
   I feel like I don't know enough right now to have any specific questions about this class, but I know as the semester goes on I will have plenty. My main goal right now in life is to graduate. This is my third school that I have attended for college and I have done more than my share of screwing around. I came to Loyola to finish school and finish strong. I want to one day be a sports broadcaster for some network. In a perfect world it would be ESPN, but if I can be the sports broadcaster for the local channels in New Orleans that would be a dream come true. I am most passionate about Saints football. There's nothing else in the world that I feel so connected with. I hope that my passion and my knowledge will be enough to get me where I want to go. I'm going to aim as high as possible, so if I fall a little short, I'll still win.
