Everyone here is very helpful and it seems like we are all true brothers. I've made some really amazing friends here so far!"]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA["Being a coach at OP is special. We have student athletes here who are committed to being great teammates, always putting team before self. When you are able to work with young men who have drive, passion, and high character it makes coaching extremely rewarding. When you take the previous elements & add in the home support of the rowdies (best home field/court advantage in Union County) I firmly believe there is no finer place to be a coach."]]></description>

This hard work allowed us to win the county championship once again and come close to winning the regional championship as well. Seeing our hard work pay off at these trials was a very gratifying experience which also allowed the team to grow closer since we were together so often."]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA["One of the best things about working on so many activities at OP is that it gives me the opportunity to interact with the students outside of the classroom. Between yearbook, Omega, and Student Council, I get to see our students work on activities that they enjoy.  It's an awesome thing to have a job where your goal is to plan fun events...  and who doesn't love a good doppelganger?"]]></description>

					<description><![CDATA["Throughout my four years at Oratory, an especially memorable project I completed was my survey project in Sociology class. I conducted a questionnaire on my classmates investigating how operant conditioning (the learning process through which the strength of a behavior is modified by reward or punishment) in the form of digital loot boxes affected the psychology of students increasing their desire to spend money. The freedom to choose my topic and the real world application made it very informative and exciting."]]></description>
