This opportunity allowed me to take advantage of everything Carondelet has to offer. I would rather fail than regret missing out on anything. I participate in ASB (student leadership) and I am the Executive Producer of the Winton Film Festival. I help manage the Early, Early Show and appreciate having the media room equipment available to me and all of the students. I also manage the props for the DLS and Carondelet Company and have made many close friends through my school and extracurricular activities.
I definitely feel the sisterhood. I feel connected to all the people in my grade. In classes I feel comfortable asking my peers for help and solving problems together. I just joined choir and I only knew one other person, but now I feel a bond with everyone in the group. I participated in a leadership retreat at Occidental and grew very close to ASB Council. We cried together and laughed together. We encouraged each other by sharing “much love.”
I am deeply grateful to all the donors who made my journey possible. I hope they know that their belief has opened so many doors for girls like me. Every level of support makes a meaningful difference, and my experience at Carondelet has expanded my idea of what I can accomplish. I understand how challenging it is to have a broader world view. Opportunities like receiving a Carondelet education have a huge impact—life-changing, really—on young people. I have access to more than I could have ever imagined because of the support of this community.
