Reflection Questions:

• What experiences in St. Ignatius's early life helped him to be the leader that he was in the last 16 years of his life?
• What are some key events (i.e., circumstances, decisions, coincidences) in my life that have led me to be the leader that I am today?
• The founding Jesuits had not planned on becoming educators; when did I decide to become an educator?
• Why did I accept the invitation to teach at Xavier University?
