Hi everyone!
Although not a lot of time has passed since my last post, a whole bunch of stuff has happened! The biggest thing that comes to mind was Founder's Day and the mass that happens. Founder's Day happens every year, and is an event where we honor the twelve sisters that founded St. Mary's as well as alumnae. Starting from the class that graduated fifty years ago, women came who graduated in 1966, 1956, 1946, and even 1936! I was volunteering for the event with Ambassadors, and had the job of checking coats and pinning the flowers onto their blouses and jackets. It may not seem like a huge job, but it was so rewarding to be able to meet all the women as they walked into the library and reunited with people from their class that were also attending. They were all so unbelievably happy to be back at the school that impacted their lives, and it was amazing to hear their stories of their own experiences here. Moving into the mass, we celebrated the alumnae by clapping as they entered the auditorium and as they exited. They were all so grateful, and it was very powerful to have such wonderful ladies come back to our school. It was definitely an experience I'll never forget.
Something I learned from these alumnae was to pay attention to the little moments and to hold them close to my heart. Time flies.
And, finally, here is my inspirational quote for the post:
"If Plan A fails, remember you have 25 letters left."
See you next time,
