Think back e do you remember? Orientation, making room in your heart for new people to fit in. It starts slowly, but soon you realize how easy it is to share your fears and expectations with those around you. An unanticipated smile, a kind word, an unspoken understanding of feelings, marks the beginning of a special friendship. The phenomenon happens again and again and soon you are no longer alone. You have been initiated into the first of the magical phases that is Siena.

7L 55 it And time passes on. There are parties and dorm wars, and singing, and laughter, and frustrations, and complaints, and rejoicing and excitement. And there are the silent times when you find yourself in the twilight chapel searching for a moment of peace. And after a while you feel a calm resting in your soul. A time to think, a time to rest, a time to sort out and understand and be thankful for that sparkle of magic that God has put into the serene moments at Siena. Late autumn is approaching and the campus is bustling with the anticipation of 1'Parents Weekend? Pride and a feeling of belonging fill the precious minutes of these few days. Everyone says with their eyes and their hearts were so happy to have you all as our parents and friends? The weekend finalizes on a cheerful as well as slightly tearful note. Though saddened that this weekend is closing, you can still manage a smile because that magical feeling of community at Siena remains with you, comfortable and secure, like a friend.
