This school does not only seem like a school to me but it is now a home. Being a cyclone has taught me so much about pride, respect and family. In addition, I believe that without this school, I would not be where I am to this day. For this reason, I would very much appreciate being a recipient of a scholarship.

Is she not qualified as a person who has made not only Florida but our entire nation a safe place to live? Indeed not.
You, St. Clare the worthy servant of God, graced with beauty on earth and now the privilege of gazing at the kind and loving face of Jesus in the heavenly kingdom.
