What is/was your favorite class at Pius X, and why? Anatomy because I enjoyed learning about the human body through the different activities we did. I also loved the people in my class.
How has your faith journey evolved during your time at our school? Are there particular experiences or programs that have significantly impacted your spiritual growth? I really was able to find my faith and develop a deeper understanding of what it means to have a real relationship with God. I found the retreats to be especially helpful in letting go, growing, and meeting Jesus face to face.
What are you most proud of about your time at Pius X? I am most proud of the growth I have seen in my friends and in myself in our faith lives. I have been lucky enough to have friends that lift me up and encourage me to grow into a better person and I am so proud of seeing who they have become!
Where are your plans after high school (college, military, job, etc.)? What do you plan to study? I am going to UNL to study nursing.
