New year...new opportunities

School has finally started! Usually, there’s a sense of dread about going back to school, but not here at Assumption. The sense of community is apparent as one walks through the doors. I remember as an incoming freshman being so nervous about what high school would hold for me. Would the people be nice? Would I find my way to classes? Would the food be better than it was in grade school? I had so many doubts and worries, but they were quickly removed as the upperclassmen welcomed me and the girls did everything in their power to make me feel at home here. Now as a senior, all my worries are gone and I am able to excel in this community. Assumption has really given me the chance to open new doors and, as cliché as it may seem, to spread my wings. The beginning of each year allows each girl here to remember just what Assumption holds for them: community and friends. With an exciting first few days spent in classes, liturgies, and family time, I once again was able to feel the love and excitement that this year holds. As a senior, I am more excited than ever to start a new year. I know that it will be my last here and that it must be valued. Summer may be over, but this year’s really just beginning. -Meaghan
