Saint Mary’s Institute means alot to me. S.M.I. has taught me and has continued to teach me about myself. S.M.I. has taught me to treat myself with respect, and not only myself, but I’ve been taught to treat others with respect to.

I wish I could tell you if I knew whether it was better this way or not. I knew I shouldn't have worn my headphones out on my run today. Other than the fact I could burst my eardrums, it was dangerous. But for every reason I came up with, there was an easy answer. What if a car decides to run me over? I will heal. I’ve had worse.

looking back, says: "Never shall I forget that night, the first night in camp, that turned my life into one long night seven times sealed. Never shall I forget that smoke. Never shall I forget the small faces of the children whose bodies I saw transformed into smoke under a silent sky. Never shall I forget those flames that consumed my faith forever.
