It’s been two years since I stopped rocking the scarlet, gold, and white and walked across stage with my fellow classmates to embark on my next adventure. I have learned a lot of things since I have been in college, but I couldn’t have begun to learn them without my Alma mater. Although I have grown a lot since high school, I do miss you Seton.

I miss everything about it. Going to school early in the mornings to my locker, waiting for my friends to get to school to talk to them. Walking to the new building to go to band, and then back to the old building up the C stairs to my next class (what a workout). I miss finding out what lunch period I had with my friends and looking forward to eating with them. I also miss going to first period, then advisory, just to talk to my friends some more, and of course wearing that plaid skirt with that maroon polo and those Sperry's. I miss rolling my skirt up, but it couldn't be too short or else I would get a demerit.

Seton taught me how to be a woman who isn’t afraid to go after her dreams. Seton taught me to do any job and do it well. There were times where I couldn’t quite understand some of the rules. Like why we had to wear white oxford shirts on Mass days, or why we couldn’t talk on the phone in the hallway after school, but now that I think about it, it was all discipline. I wouldn’t be half the person I am today it wasn’t for the core values and beliefs that Seton instilled in me.

Looking back at Seton, I am so proud of all that it has become. Since I was there two years ago, it truly has grown. The new library, the new academic programs, new uniforms, and the mac books (something that I am a little salty about), but it is great to know that my Alma mater continues to achieve its mission of empowering young women for the future.

Yeah, going to an all girls school is not top on everyone's list of schools, but it was for me, and I don't regret it at all. The teachers, the students, the friends were the core of the Seton community, and I am forever proud of all that is Seton to be shaped in the mold of light. I know that in the years to come, you will continue to empower young girls and teach them everything that you have taught me: the light to know and the grace to do.

Sincerely,

A proud Roadrunner
