Meeting the Class of 2013

This week represents the start of the most important week in Union Catholic because we get to meet the incoming freshman class which this year will be the class of 2013. First we have the Scholarship reception for those outstanding students who recieved academic scholarships.

Next we have the accepted students dance for all of the students that were sent out letters saying they were accepted to UC. This event is great and everyone that is thinking about coming to UC or even has some doubts, should attend, because you get to meet a lot of new people and make great new friends. When I was an incoming freshman and didn't know where I wanted to go, the accepted students dance helped make my decision a lot easier. I met so many new people and everyone was so friendly to me, even the kids that were helping out and already were attending UC and i realized that these were the people I wanted to be around for the next four years of my life because they would always be there for me and care about me which they have no matter what the situation is.

Next we have the Accepted Students Q&A in which students and parents have a final chance to ask questions and get answers from students and finally is Registration which is the best day of the year because we get to meet the new freshman class of UC. I will be at all of these events and I hope to see all of your bright smiling faces there.

Semi Formal, Midterms

Hey guys hope your school year is going great even though it's already the middle of year. My school year has been flying by so fast and recently we just had our semi formal. Every winter we have a formal in which our gym turns into a winter wonderland and everyone gets dressed up. it was a great time this year and I had so much fun dancing and hanging out with all my friends and the DJ had the music going all night. Semi symbolizes the first part of the Christmas and holiday season and that is my favorite time of the year and also because my birthday is the week after Christams so i love spending time with my family and getting double presents is always fun. We recently took our midterms though which isn't the best part of the year, but a part that we all must go through. Midterms are a big test on all that you have learned from the beginning of the year to the middle. The tests are only really hard if you don't study but as long as you study, they aren't as hard as anyone makes them out to be, and once they are over you get a short little break and it ends the first half of the year. After midterms you realize that you only have about 5 months left until summer which is the best feeling in the world. School is great here and i'm excited to see all of the new freshman that come to register to attend UC and I hope I see many of your faces there because UC is a great experience for any student, no matter what you are into and everyone deserves the chance to experience UC.
