My fulfi llment of the vision

Vision

• Due to the quality of education, I only got A’s & B’s this year.• By using a laptop I become more familiar with technology which will help me in

the future.• Religion III opened my mind to a brighter spectrum of my religion.

• I felt like I had earned the responsibility of giving back to my community by helping others through community service.

• I went through challenges I had never been exposed to before, such as online classes, bringing the MedEd program into JDA, and taking workshops at UTPA.

Achieved Mission

Mission

Mission

My most valuable school experiences weren't academic. They were all about

people—social skills, respect, self-worth, empathy, and realizing your own

potential. On the sports field, I learned about winning and losing graciously.

In the classroom, I learned that doing your best counted far more than

academic ability; I learned that I was capable of more than I thought, I also

learned how to study and think about ideas through writing and discussion.

The high expectations and rigorous activities provided helped me out a lot.

All of this and more has prepared me for the challenge of becoming a senior.

WHAT I HAVE LEARNED AND EXPERIENCED THIS ACADEMIC YEAR HAS PREPARED ME FOR THE CHALLENGE OF BECOMING A

SENIOR

• Irritating alarm clocks in the morning.

• The difficult task of finding matching socks.

• Making sure I told my mom to pack my lunch.

• The sleepy journey of getting to school every

morning.• Most tragic moment: We

have a quiz today!• Not knowing whether to

wear a blue skirt or a gray skirt.
