Celebrating Mom
Tuesday, May 14th, 2013
My mom has always been there for me since the day of my birth and has loved me for 16 years. She may be quirky at times, but she is my fun-loving, creative mom that everyone says I look identical to. She helps me with so many aspects in life from school to friends to boys. Today was Mother’s Day and to celebrate it we took her out to dinner. I also presented her with a card telling her just how much she means to me. I am truly grateful of being blessed with such a genuine, caring person in »
May Crowning
Thursday, May 9th, 2013
I had the honor and privilege of being chosen last year as a freshman attendant for May Crowning but this year, I was in the audience. It was different and offered me a new perspective on what took place. Unlike last year where I was unable to focus because I was so nervous about speaking in front of a crowd, I was actually able to listen and reflect upon what was being said. I was also able to truly enjoy it and the experience became far more potent and spiritual. I really enjoy May Crowning. So often nowadays, few »
Prom
Thursday, May 9th, 2013
Since Mercy’s prom is only for juniors and seniors, it is something for freshmen and sophomores to look forward to. Friday the whole school got the day off since prom was that night and we had raised so much money during Mission Week to build a school in Sudan. I could feel the buzz of excitement in the air Thursday as the juniors and seniors made confirmations of their prom plans. All the while I was thinking to myself “that will be me next year!” Prom is such a memorable event, especially for the seniors. I know they all had »
Walking the Stairs at Mercy
Thursday, May 2nd, 2013
The stairs at Mercy are very time-consuming and are, for sure, a “breath-taker”. There are four floors at Mercy (including the bottom, first, second, and third floor). There is one point in the day where I trek from bottom to third floor. Fortunately, my schedule only forces me to go through that once a day. What seems to be helpful is talking to a friend while going up the stairs (it distracts you and it goes by faster) or I find it easier by going faster up the stairs, making it a part of my daily exercise of the day. »
May Day
Wednesday, May 1st, 2013
While most kids are receiving May Day baskets today, Mercy girls are preparing for finals and the end of the school year. May Day marks the new changes that are coming soon. Seniors are getting ready to graduate and head off to college. Juniors are assuming the role of leadership in the school. Sophomores are finally becoming upper class woman. Our little freshmen are growing up into women of mercy. May Day reminds us of the end of the year, but it marks the beginning of changes that will happen next year! Kaleena – Class of 2014 Ever since »
Anticipating Summer
Tuesday, April 30th, 2013
The year is coming to an end again! There are only a couple days left for the seniors. Everyone is getting excited that summer is just inches away. With summer approaching, people are getting excited about the warm weather and the cool summer nights. We can celebrate with bonfires with friends, going to the pool all day and sleeping in. People have plans to go on vacation with family. There is less than a month away from school ending. Start planning your summer vacations! Ashley – Class of 2013 “Summer Summer Summer…” These words are echoing throughout the »
Parent Appreciation Day
Wednesday, April 24th, 2013
The importance of my parents in my life has become extremely evident to me during the past few years. I know that without my parents I wouldn’t be the person I am today. Without their help and guidance I would never have known where to go to high school or what classes to take. They always know exactly what I need when I need it. I talk to them about everything. When I’m fighting with a friend or struggling in one of my classes they always know what to do to help make it better for me. Last summer, they »
My Day of Discovery Experience
Thursday, April 18th, 2013
This past weekend, I was fortunate enough to be one of the 20 girls who traveled to Washington, D.C. for Day of Discovery. Although we were only in D.C. for a few days, there were enough memories created to last a lifetime. From touring the Capitol building, to standing before the Lincoln Memorial, it was incredible to witness all of the history behind our country. One of my favorite parts of our trip was visiting the Library of Congress, but I guess that’s just my inner-book-lover talking. Of course this was not the only exciting moment throughout the trip, as »
Anticipating Day of Discovery
Sunday, April 14th, 2013
Day of Discovery is on April 15th and as a sophomore it is my first Day of Discovery. Day of Discovery is ever other year and it is a day to discover something new and fun. I am going on the painting and pizza activity on April 12th. My group is going to be painting a picture at Canvas & Cabernet in Aksarben Village and then eating pizza afterward at Godfather’s. I am really looking forward to Day of Discovery and I am also very curious as to what the experience will be like. Since my activity takes place before »
The Spring Play is a Success
Tuesday, April 9th, 2013
This play tells the story of a young girl seeing the Virgin Mary. Many people didn’t believe her at first, but as time progressed people came to see that she did truly see the Virgin Mary. At the end, she sees Mary for the last time and dies. Many people showed up for this event and many people have said that the play was well-acted. The song Ave Maria at the end of the play, sung by the nuns, was also beautifully done. The actors for the main characters are Ella Heart as Bernadette, Kellen Burg as Father Peyramaie, »
