I am so grateful and joyful to announce that I've been given the opportunity to attend the University of Notre Dame. Our Lord has blessed me so much - more than I realize - and I hope and pray that this experience can deepen not only my knowledge, but also my faith and commitment to serving Him and His people.
I've dreamed of attending Notre Dame since I was seven years old, when we first visited the campus and went to Mass. It amazes me where God has led and how He leads us, and through this journey, I've come to see what all we can do if we aim high, work hard, lean on those around us, and trust in Him.
Thank you, Notre Dame, for welcoming me in. Thank you to my clients, who have trusted me to help celebrate their beloved pets, helped me continue on with my endeavors, and been such lights in my life. Thank you to my coaches, teachers, friends, and family members, who have helped teach, encourage, and uplift me. Thank you so much to my mom, dad, and grandmother; these three have showered me with love and support, sacrificed so much for me, cheered me on through it all, and been God's visible angels. And glory be to God above all, for through Him, all is possible - every beautiful blessing, no matter how great or small.
I look forward to the rest of high school and the memories to come. (Oh, how time has flown by, but how beautiful it has been!) I look forward to seeing where Our Lord leads my friends and hope that we can all keep going strong by His graces. And when the leaves begin to change colors and the sun shines a golden glow as fall dawns, I look forward to hearing the Basilica bells ringing and breathing in deeply as I return to a special place on this earth that feels like home.
Love thee 🕊☘️
