Mission Statement

I strive to be a happy and successful woman. In order to achieve this, I must set personal goals and persevere until I have accomplished them. With determination and confidence, I will work to be the best person I can be. I aspire to be a compassionate, hardworking, and creative woman because these are characteristics that I admire in others. I cherish my relationships with others and hope to be a good daughter, sister, friend, and one day, wife and mother. I will try my hardest in all that I do and challenge myself when possible. If I carry out all of these things, then I will be a happy and successful woman.

My Sources of Identity

Throughout my life, many people have helped shape me into the woman I am today. My family has always been influential in my development as a person as well as my friends and neighbors. My two older sisters have been huge role models in my life for as long as I can remember, and in recent years, they have become my best friends. I trust my sisters more than anyone and it is comforting to know that they will be in my life forever.

My parents have also taught me countless life lessons that I incorporate into my daily life. My dad is the most hard working man I know and does everything possible to provide the best life for our family. My mom is selfless and caring, I rarely see her doing things for herself. My parents inspire me to always work hard for what I want, because they have confidence that I can accomplish whatever I set my mind to. I work hard in school, in sports, and in my art work to show my appreciation to my parents for all the hard work that they have done for me.

Lastly, my friends keep me sane. When I chose to come to Mount Saint Joseph Academy (http://msjacad.org/s/743/start.aspx) I made so many great friends that I couldn't imagine my life without. My high school experience has been full of so many amazing memorize that I will remember and look back on for the rest of my life. I am also lucky enough have friends that live in my neighborhood that have been with me since kindergarten at St. Luke's. These friends have been with me through it all and I know our friendship will last for many years to come.
