My Spartan sisters have had a tremendous impact on my life. Through a variety of retreats and simply making friends here at the school, I've developed strong connections from my freshman year to my senior year. It's been amazing to have a sister, a friend, and someone to look up to—not only the girls here at the school but also the teachers. I feel comfortable with the girls, building bonds knowing that no one is judging me because we all go through similar experiences.
