How long were you homeschooled through
Seton, and what did you like about the
experience?
I was homeschooled through Seton from 3rd – 12th
grade. I went to a public highschool for 11th grade,
but I felt like I was losing who I truly was while I was
there, so I returned to Seton for my final year.
There were so many things I liked about the
experience. My absolute favorite aspect of using
Seton was that it truly was Catholic.
I learned so much about my faith using Seton, and
not only did I learn about my faith, but I learned
how to apply it to my life.
This was so important to me because after I
graduated from Seton I was able to really take
my faith and continue to grow in it, having that
beautiful foundation laid in Seton.
Where did you go to college, and what is
your degree?
I am currently a Senior at Franciscan University of
Steubenville in Ohio pursuing studies towards a B.A.
in Theology and Catechetics.
Did your Seton education help you navigate
the college experience?
It definitely has helped me. Seton, first of all, gave
me an incredible foundation in my Catholic faith.
This was where I first encountered Christ, and
things I learned about the faith years ago through
Seton have stuck with me and influenced my life
ever since.
Additionally, my experience in Theology with Seton
is what really inspired me to major in Theology now
in college. It is something I have grown intensely
passionate about, and something I truly desire to
continue to grow in and spread to the entire world.
Second of all, Seton helped me grow in self-
discipline. Because it was up to me to finish all of
my work on time and do it well when I was home
schooled, that discipline has carried through to my
time in college. I continue to set goals for myself
in college and I am very disciplined with my work,
thanks to what Seton has given me.
Finally, the writing skills…When I was using Seton,
there were many times I would resent Seton for
the insane amounts of writing and the extremely
challenging writing assignments I was given.
However, now all I can say to Seton is “thank you.”
