You will stand many times at a crossroad in life just as you’re standing now, and no one can tell you which way to go — or what you should do — or how. Yours is the choice — May you follow your dreams and believe in yourself all the way — As you journey along with your eyes on the stars and with hope in your heart day by day Katherine Keller

We spent sunny days on the hockey field and humid nights after a dance. You remember friends you laughed with, sang with, and cried with. Misericordia was our home for four years. A home of old buddies and new friends. A home where you could make the winning shot of a ballgame and dance with the cutest guy you ever met. Misericordia is a family bonded together with friendship. From the first volleyball game to the snowball, all the way to graduation. Friendship was the most important part. Not only single friendships, but overall campus friendship. We lived and learned with other students and our friends we called teachers. We shared days and nights made up of work and play, of good and bad, of happy and sad. In the period of four years we have all grown; and the growing we do inside is the most important of all. There are few of us who will be grown up for a long time, and some of us will never be ‘“‘all grown up.” But everyone of us does a bit of growing during these four years. New feelings arise and old feelings grow stronger. Thank God for friends. Too often in life we must say goodbye. Friends must past. Life must go on. But in saying goodbye we grow just a little bit more. And friendships grow stronger. And life does go on. Smile and remember that friendships last forever! Written by: Laura Jones 127
