As a Catholic, I find it very important to live as Christ taught us to. Christ is the perfect model of holiness and as he is fully divine and human. We can also look to the saints as models to help us live this life filled with holiness. But, we can be models ourselves and show others around us how to live a life according to God. Every action that is seen by others can affect them, either positively or negatively. And, by simply doing what we are supposed to be doing, we can make the world a better place. Those little good deeds that you do can really make an impression on someone who was watching you. For example, I began to pick up trash from the ground when I saw a buddy of mine doing the same thing. The way I treat people and react to certain situations also seems to have an effect on the others that see me. The way you tackle hard times in life, by finding solutions to your problems and never losing faith, really shows others how emotionally and mentally strong you are, and it can inspire them to follow your ways, which should be an imitation of Jesus' actions.
College students are often looked up to by younger people that often want to be just like them. So, the actions of college students can really have an effect on the younger generation, and hopefully you portray yourselves as positive role models. Although there may be very hard times in college, you should never lose your faith in God, for, with him, nothing is impossible. You should also treat others very nicely and kindly, making sure that you follow Christ's Commandment of Love, which states that you should love your neighbors as he has loved you. And, Christ loves you infinitely, for you are made in God's image and likeness and were given the gift of life to fulfill his will.
