“One day you are a freshman, scared of your first day. Next, you are saying goodbye to your best friends and going to college,” says Caroline Smith. She remembers the first day of freshman year when Sister Kathy said the next few years would fly by. No one would believe it, but it turned out to be their reality. This bittersweet year holds nothing but the best for the seniors. With inaugural, clash of the classes, and most importantly the Disney trip, they have so much to look forward to. Alex Fazzari says, “ I’m very excited for Disney. Im looking forward to the fun experience with friends and a break from the whirlwind of the year!” The Disney trip gives the Seniors the opportunity to spend over 20 hours on a bus together, days at different parks throughout Orlando, and most importantly to make memories that they will hold close to them for years to come. This is just one of the many moments of their last year that will most certainly make it the best.

Another huge part of senior year, which can be stressful, but rewarding at the same time is college applications. They are currently looking for the best fit for them for the next four years, just as St. Rose was for them. Seniors Kailah Cummings and Erin Mcdermott say, “We are looking forward to receiving those college acceptances because it will just show that all these years of hard work paid off. We are excited for the future and can’t wait to make the best out of these next few months with our best friends.” Although the process is time consuming and nerve-racking, each individual is enthusiastic about knowing where they will end up. The amount of memories already created won’t ever be forgotten, but senior year will add a thousand more to the list. It’s their time to make it the best and the rest of the St. Rose community will be able to experience it with them.
