Last Wednesday was the Junior Ring Ceremony. We've been waiting for our rings since we ordered them last May; the wait was worth it! The ceremony was in the church across from school. After communion Sister Percylee spoke about the importance of this event...this is our right of passage. Well the time had finally arrived and we were presented with our rings! I didn't want the typical class ring because my hands are small and to see what was actually on the ring, I would have had to take it off. I chose a fashion ring; it has 2011 on the side and my name engraved on the inside. The rings have a required blue stone, which I like because it is our school color. Around the stone says Union Catholic HS and I have crystals on the side going down...I really like it! After the ceremony we went back to school for a reception hosted by the parents of the sophomore class. At the reception we did the "famous" turning of the rings - they say your friends should turn your ring towards your heart...but we weren't sure?.
The next day was the Junior Day of Recollection. We started the day by playing "musical people" ~ which had us moving and sitting by people we had never met before! The day was designed to help make new friends and help us bond as a class. By the end of the day I had made friends with a new transfer and got to know people I had never talked to before. The Day of Recollection is one of may favorite days of the year.
Our soccer season is over after a sad loss in the first round of states ~ but at least we made it to states! We are a young team with only 2 seniors. And we have bragging rights - we were the first UC team EVER to win on the new Turf Field!!
