St. Xavier is the school to attend if you want to be challenged every day to be your best self. That challenge is what makes St. X and its graduates extraordinary. However, I consider the school's rigor to be secondary in value to the underlying gift each student receives from their commitment to excellence that makes it all worthwhile: brotherhood. As you walk through the halls of St. Xavier, the most striking sight is likely the masses of students walking down the hall. Some look no older than 12 by stat- ure, while some look like they could have played for the Lakers the night before. After noticing the students, you may notice the teachers dotted throughout the crowd, checking uniforms and greet- ing coworkers as they rush to their next class. However, the heart of St. X that a random person walking down the hallway may or may not notice is the energy and excitement the aforementioned people com- bine to create. No matter what type of day a student or teacher is having when they wake up in the morn- ing, they are met with the same contagiously positive environment that the school preaches so earnestly. This is zeal. If a student bombs a test or is struggling with a concept, he can lean on his friends and teachers to get extra help and set himself up for success. This is com- passion. If a student had a break- out game or carried their team to victory the previous night, they will likely sit qui- etly at their desk and reluc- tantly accept applause and yells from their friends while their name is mentioned on the morning news. This is humility. If a student asks for an extension on a paper after go- ing on retreat, their teacher will concisely respond, "Yes, just get it done." This is sim- plicity. If a student is home sick for a few days and needs to know what he missed, he can text a classmate and get a reliable to-do list within minutes. This is trust. From personal experience, these pillars of communi- ty, along with the sense of competition that comes with them, are what truly make a Tiger. Even after the Class of 2022 has walked the halls of St. Xavier for the last time, the gifts the school has given us will push us all toward both individual and collec- tive progress for the rest of our lives.
St. Xavier fosters brotherhood through pillars of community
