Chavarria ’92 CLASS OF 2019 LOOKS BACK Cesar Campos ‘19 University of Illinois at Chicago Immaculate Conception (East 88th Street) Parish and Grade School What have the last four years at De La Salle meant to you? The last four years at De La Salle in all honesty have complete- ly changed my life, through my diverse social life, learning from my peers from diverse communities and learning from bad and good tendencies. Learning from those tendencies to go about life as simply as one can in a world where anything can happen at any time. Which teachers have had the greatest impact on you? Mr. (Mark) Jackowiak ‘88, Mr. (Paul) Dirschl and Mr. (Michael) Dieter have all impacted me in an enormous manner. Mr. Dirschl with his tough-love personality prepared us the best he could for the next four years of high school. Mr. Jackowiak following my freshman year had the same but even rougher personality than Mr. Dirschl. He made us aware – especially me for coming in with nothing – about the level of maturity and responsibility in a college- level class such as math that if done correctly, no matter the time consumption, will become easier with training. Finally, What does it mean to you to be a De La Salle Mr. Dieter with his rare curriculum in a high school environ- graduate? ment taught me how it is to learn in a college-level writing To be a De La Salle graduate means the world to me and reading class. as this is what my goal was coming into high school. Why did you choose De La Salle? From the first day, I knew it would be a rough battle in In all honesty, De La Salle was a gift from God coming from maintaining great academic performance all through my personal situation in middle school. It was my only option my time at ‘D.’ I am grateful for the diverse community at the time that came from a blessing through the Big Shoul- and that I was pushed by my teachers and friends to do ders Fund that made it easier and basically possible for me my best. Being a De La Salle graduate means I’m part to attend in terms of the financial aspects…From the ups and of a 130-year-old family of utmost respect, recognition, downs I’ve experienced, I’ve become a person I never real- relationships and maturity. ized I could be myself. 4 ACADEMICS We asked six of our newest alumni to reflect on the impact that De La Salle has had on their lives. These Meteors have excelled in the classroom and a variety of extracurricular activities. We have every confidence that all the members of the Class of 2019 will go on to have great futures. Congratulations to our co-valedictorians, Cesar Campos ’19 and Denise Maldonado ’19. Both Cesar and Denise were enrolled in the Honors Program and graduated with 4.896 grade-point aver- ages, finishing atop the 217-member Class of 2019. Denise Maldonado ’19 Rice University Dore Elementary School/St. Daniel the Prophet Parish How has De La Salle prepared you for your future? De La Salle has provided rigorous classes including AP (Advanced Placement) classes and offering PACC (Program for Advanced College Credit) credit to help prepare me for college. Ever since freshman year, my teachers were preparing me for higher-level classes by offering me more challenging coursework. I’ve been granted summer internships and countless job opportunities through my connection to De La Salle. De La Salle has prepared me by my maturation into a young adult. Which teachers have had the greatest influence on you? Señora (Maria) Maldonado has had a large impact on my Spanish skills by encouraging me to become more confident. Over the last few years, I’ve had Señora Maldonado twice and each year, I’ve exponentially become more advanced in Spanish compared to when I began.

By proclaiming this a Jubilee Year of Mercy, Pope Francis has asked each of us to be the hands of God’s mercy in our often violent and poverty-stricken world. Mercy can overcome any type of adversity and instill hope for the future. At the beginning of the Jubilee Year, the Holy Father requested that cathedrals and churches around the globe open Holy Doors of Mercy that can be visited in every diocese. A door is symbolic of a passage to something new, and opening a door is an invitation to cross over, to enter a different space.
