Why are you here?

Around 180 days ago I asked you a question. I hope by now you have a better idea of how to answer that question. Here's some fun facts: 
  • Odds of bowling a 300 game: 1 in 11,500 
  • Odds of being hit by lightning: 1 in 576,000 
  • Odds of getting a royal flush on your first five cards: 1 in 649,740 
  • Odds of becoming U.S. President: 1 in 10,000,000 
  • Odds of winning $340 million jackpot in MegaMillions lottery: about 1 in 175,000,000 
  • Odds of your being born in this particular time, place and circumstance: about 1 in 400,000,000,000 
"You are not here by mistake. Around the world and down through the ages there has never been another you. The miracle of your existence is now in your hands. You are here for a purpose. You have something that only you can give to the world." http://www.live-inspired.com/the1book/pdf/ONE_2.pdf

You've made it! Congratulations. Take a moment and reflect on the past 180 days and share some of your favorite memories of  your Freshman year here at St. Saviour.

  1. Freshman year has been full of many fun events like Song Contest, cheer competitions, softball games, etc. Although we all hated it at one point we did have fun at Song Contest. I truly enjoyed being on two sports teams including cheerleading and varsity softball. It was a lot of fun meeting everyone this year and I can't wait for another great year.

  2. This year I really enjoyed meeting new people, and making friends with people who I vaguely knew, but hadn't really known (cough JennaandGrace cough). I had a great time, especially in drama, where I made even more friends! :) Up until the stress of the last week or so, this has been a really easy-going year (gee thanks finals). I am genuinely thankful for my time here, and I can't wait to be a sophomore!

  3. This year, as I was suddenly thrust into a new environment, I was pleasantly surprised as this school turned out to be a wonderful place. I really admire all the time and effort that the administration and faculty put into making extracurricular events school wide and fun. While I really enjoyed the entire year, I especially loved Drama, because I had the chance to work especially hard doing something I really loved with people who have become some of my best friends.

  4. This year I made new friends and memories. With Song Contest, sport events, and music class we all made memories that drew us close together. It can't wait to send the next 3 years with these girls and creating even more memories!!
