Flyer seniors are sharing their thoughts as they approach graduation. Today, Ashleigh Taylor:

#5: The Student Section: For someone who was barely in the student section at any home games, I absolutely loved it. Starting out as a cheerleader and moving over to dance team, I was either out on the sidelines or on the field/court at halftime performing. I loved the student section because they got involved with the cheers, or cheered us on as we danced. The student section is known for being super supportive of our team, especially the creativity that came with playing Kapaun.

#4: The Classroom: I am an average student, which means school neither comes easy to me, nor incredibly difficult. I would say this is because I had teachers who took the time to make sure the classwork was doable, but not too easy to make me wonder why we were doing the work at all. It also helped that everyone in the classroom, was willing to work together to get the homework done… and right.

#3: Uniforms: I used to complain about uniforms when I was younger. When I entered high school, I became appreciative of not having to choose what I had to wear to school every day. This will become difficult when I enter college.

#2: Faith Life: It is incredible how I had the opportunity to practice my faith and go to school at the same time. Public schools do not offer that, and I feel as though the atmosphere in the school was a lot more like a family because we all practice the same religion. Again, this will become extremely difficult in college, because I will be around many people of different religious backgrounds. But I am so fortunate to have obtained good Christian morality and I believe going to Catholic schools helped put a good head on my shoulders for the future.

#1: Friends: I would be nowhere without the friends I made in high school. I am even going off to college with one of my best friends. The friendships I made will last me a lifetime because we helped each other make it through high school. These are the people I will hopefully have in my life until I grow old and I could not be any more grateful for their presence in my life.
