feel like, because of MBS, I am able to meet the highexpectations of high school. As a sophomore in SMHS I still

apply the knowledge and skills I learned at MBS to succeed inmy classes. It truly is a school that prepares you for high

school and life." Nicholas Taffaro

Sophomore at SMHS

The hardest lesson that I have learned is not talkingduring class or while the teacher is talking.

~Isabella Stevens

Throughout myjourney at MBS,

the biggestlesson that I

have learned isthat I don't haveto be perfect. It's

okay to makemistakes and to

be imperfect.~Kendyl Edwards

The hardest lesson that I have learned is friendship,who to be friends with & who makes me happy.

~Hannah Boudreaux

The hardestlesson that Ihave learnedwhile being at

MBS wastrusting that

God was alwaysgoing to be there

for me.~Riley Kidder

At MBS, I learnedthat school isn't

just a place tolearn, but it isalso a place to

find goodfriends.

~Emma Lacombe

I had to learn at MBS that I always need to give mybest in school. It may be easier to write randomanswers on a homework assignment, but it's not

worth it. ~Aidan Medine

The hardest lessonI have learned atMBS is that theeffort I put into

something is equalto the result. If Istudy hard for atest, I will get a

good grade. But if Idon't study, the

grade won't be thatgood.

~Annabelle Templet

Even though school might betough, I have to keep going and

continue to be strong in myfaith. God will always help meget through the tough times.God uses hard times/trials to

teach us lessons and grow ourfaith.
